Terrance was secretly happy to have identally poked at ric’s sore spot.

If it were before, he wouldn’t dare to speak to ric in such a way because ric’s gold
stare was enough to freeze him to death. Also, ric wouldn’t allow such behavior
from him. However, things had changed since Victoria and the children appeared, and
ric’s attitude had also changed drastically.
Although ric would still ask him to go away after he teased him, he would only look
like he was angry on the surface when he was not, just like how he did just now.
After ric heard what Terrance said, he cursed at him but then regained his
everything settled. Also, buy some food for the children.”
Following that, Terrance went downstairs, but on his way, he passed by Norwood, and
they looked at each other.
To think of it, Terrance scratched his head while wondering, Why is Norwood here?
What happened tonight? I’ll ask him for the details once I finish buying all those things.
After that, Terrance drove to a children’s amusement park nearby and bought many

things before returning to the hospital.
ric could see Terrance with two bags approaching from far away, and he
immediately went up to Terrance. “What did you buy?”

However, before Terrance could exin what he bought, ric had already taken the
bags away. “Forget it. Just give them to me. I’ll head inside.”
It was then that Terrance noticed his actions and expression seemed rushed. He was
obviously anxious from the long wait. But it was reasonable because his wife and
children were inside the ward, yet he wasn’t allowed inside and could only stand and
wait outside. Who wouldn’t be anxious in such a situation?
After taking away the bags, ric quickly approached the room and was about to enter,
but just as he turned the doorknob, he suddenly realized something and stopped. Then,
he knocked on the door.
That left Terrance surprised, thinking, Isn’t Miss Selwyn still unconscious? Why is Mr.
Cadogan knocking? Could he be knocking to inform the children?
At that moment, he heard a childish voiceing from inside the room. “Come in.”

Terrance immediately recognized it was Nicole’s voice and felt slightly nervous.

Once ric received Nicole’s permission, he opened the door and entered the room.

At first, Terrance approached the door, wanting to see what was going on inside, but he
hadn’t gotten near the door when it mmed closed.
While touching his nose, he embarrassedly sat on the seat in the hallway, and just after
he took a seat, Norwood, who had been sitting quietly on the side, approached him.
Norwood offered Terrance a cigarette, but Terrance only nced at it but didn’t take it.
“My apologies, Mr. Oaks, but I don’t smoke.”
When Norwood heard that, he nced at Terrance before slowly putting away the
cigarette. While he was doing so, Terrance noticed there was only one cigarette
missing from the cigarette box, and it seemed like a newly opened packet. Is Norwood
a non-smoker too?
“Can we have a talk?” Since his offer to smoke was declined, Norwood wasn’t sure if
Terrance wasn’t a smoker or was in no mood to smoke. Therefore, Norwood jumped
straight to the topic.
Terrance pursed his lips and asked, “What would you like to talk about, Mr. Oaks?”
Chapter 329 Coaxing the Children
ncing toward the ward, Norwood asked, “When did you find out.”
Terrance immediately knew what the other was asking about and pursed his lips,
hesitant about what to say.
“I remember ric brought udia to the auction.”
At the mention of that incident, Terrance quickly exined, “He did, but that was
because Mrs. Cadogan ordered him to do so. Also, Miss Johnson wanted something
from the auction too, so they went together.”
“So?” Norwood squinted his eyes. “When did he bump into Victoria, and when did she
return? Those two children… are they his?”

Terrance replied, “Otherwise? You can obviously tell their Mr. Cadogan’s children just by
looking at them, right?”
Hearing that, Norwood chuckled softly. “You’re right. They look very much alike.”
The children’s features are almost identical to ric’s, but they also resemble Victoria,
so a DNA test was unnecessary because anyone could identify those children with just
a nce.

Terrance looked at Norwood. Maybe ric’s recent connivance had made Terrance
bolder. He asked, “Mr. Oaks, why are you here tonight?”
At first, he wanted to ask about what had happened, but after seeing ric enter the
room, he guessed ric wouldn’te out anytime soon, so he averted his attention
to Norwood.

Since Norwood initiated the conversation, he could ask Norwood questions too.
Therefore, he asked his second question before the other could reply to his first
question. “How did Miss Selwyn get hurt? Wasn’t everything going well before tonight?”
“Yes, it was.” Norwood nodded. “Everything was fine when we arrived, but what
happened next was an ident.”
“We?”
“West, udia, and I.”
When Terrance heard udia’s name, he almost jumped to his feet. “What? Miss
Johnson was there as well? How did Miss Selwyn get injured? Was it Miss Johnson?”
Norwood looked at him like he was a fool and rebuked, “What are you thinking about?
Even if udia’s an idiot, she wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.”

Unless she didn’t want ric’s respect, she wouldn’t do such a thing before ric.

“You’re right.” After Terrance calmed down, he felt like udia was indeed incapable of
such a thing. “So, what really happened?”
“It was West. But… it was an ident.”
“Mr. Finn did it?”
Once Terrance heard it was West’s doing, he instantly felt at a loss for words and
chuckled before Norwood. “I was wondering who might have done it. Turns out it was
Mr. Finn. Has he gone mad? Even if he likes Miss Johnson, why would he harm Miss
Selwyn?”
At this moment, Terrance waspletely biased toward Victoria, and even the way he
spoke was leaning toward her. When he heard West had hurt her, he was instantly filled
with disdain, which was also why he spoke so disdainfully about West.
Meanwhile, Norwood secretly nced at Terrance, thinking, Terrance became ric’s
assistant after Victoria left, so he didn’t know her before all this. Judging by how he
spoke, he seemed very close to her. It looks like a lot has happened recently without me
knowing. Victoria… Who would have thought she’d still be so good at winning other
people’s hearts after all these years?

Then, he unconsciously tried to grab a cigarette but then realized he had quit smoking
for a long time.
