Chapter 118
The more afraid you were of something happening, the more likely it would happen. The more you
wanted others to keep a secret, the more likely this secret had already spread without your knowledge.
Joy wasn’t great at keeping secrets. Thus, this caused Rachel to drag her husband over early in the
morning to bring two insted lunchboxes to see her son.
Yesterday. Joy had promised Hackett she would keep it a secret. In a way, she had fulfilled her
promise. After all, Hackett had not told Joy how long she had to keep the secret. Joy had held onto it
for the whole night until she could no longer hold it back and called Rachel. Joy had even exined the
situation more drastically than it was.
Rachel was so anxious that she immediately dragged her husband, who was about to go to the office,
to the hospital. When Rachel arrived at the ward and realized it was not as severe as Joy had said,
Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. Her husband’s car ident had already exhausted all her energy and
resilience. If it happened with her son again, Rachel did not dare to imagine it. There was a high
chance that she would break down.

Although Rachel seemed strong on the surface, no matter how strong and decisive she was, she was
still a woman and had her weaknesses. Everyone had weaknesses. Of course, Rachel was no
exception. No one was Iron Man. They were all made of flesh and blood.
As soon as Caleb entered the room, he sized up his son from head to toe. When Caleb realized that
there was nothing serious, he slowly sat on the sofa Rachel carefully ced the breakfast she had
brought on the table.
Trevon had known that Hackett was unreliable. If Hackett could be relied on, pigs would be able to fly.
However, Trevon spoke normally. Tmn fine. You didn’t have toe.”
Rachel was still busy helping Trevon adjust the nket at his feet and said with some distress, “How
can we note when you’re hospitalized? At the very least, we need to see that you’re okay to be at
ease. Hurry and eat.”
Trevon slowly ate the breakfast that Rachel had brought Rachel’s heart still ached. “Why didn’t you tell
us that you were sick? If not for Hackett’s mother, we wouldn’t have known. You weren’t nning to tell
us, and you didn’t hire a caretaker. Is it just Jim taking care of you?”
Trevon didn’t show much emotion. “It’s nothing serious. I’m not used to being taken care of by
outsiders.”
Caleb nced at his indifferent son. “Then Mr. Hawk will have to work harder. A concussion is not
something to be taken lightly.”
After thinking for a while, Caleb could not help but remind Trevon, ‘Since you’ve been hospitalized, I
think you’ll be here for at least a day or two. Use this time to think about how to apologize to that girl.
Stalling won’t solve any problems.”
Trevon was slightly stunned. Then, he said indifferently. “Okay”
Caleb had said what he needed to say, so he didn’t continue.
Rachel sighed quietly to herself Rachel was a little anxious but could not interfere with her son’s
rtionship. If she interfered too much, her son would be resistant. Rachel still could not understand
why Trevon liked that girl. Whether it was her behavior or her family background, there were plenty of
other girls in Athana who were better than her.
After a while, the doctor came to conduct the ward rounds. However, the hospital director was the one
who personally came today. It was clear how much importance he ced on Trevon. Even someone
like Natalie didn’t work on the weekends, but the hospital director himself was on duty. The meaning
behind this was obvious.
When the director pushed the door open with a benevolent smile, Trevon’s expression visibly turned
colder. Caleb nced. at Trevon and realized that Trevon’s face was filled with obvious
disappointment.
Caleb quietly shook his head.
The director had seen Caleb and Rachel before. Now that he had the opportunity to curry favor with
them, he would not miss out on it. As soon as the director entered, he greeted them with a ttering
tone, “Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, you came to see Mr. Trevon so early. It must be tiring.”
Caleb nodded slightly in greeting.
Rachel replied politely. “It must be tiring for you too. You still have to be on duty on the weekend. You’re
hands-on with
your work.”
The director began to curry favor with Rachel. “No, not at all. I have to be considerate of my
subordinates. Ms. Natalie has to rest over the weekend. I can’t force her to work overtime. It’s not easy
for a woman to take care of two children.” Rachel and Caleb had already heard about the children from
Theo, so when the director mentioned it, they did not look surprised. Their expressions barely changed,
as if they were talking about someone else.
When Theo had mentioned it to Rachel and Caleb, Rachel had been against her son being involved
with Natalie. After all, Rachel felt that the children might not be her grandchildren. However, after
Theo’s earnest persuasion, Rachel finallypromised.
The director stayed in Trevon’s ward for almost 15 minutes. During this time, he spent more than 10
minutes sucking up to
them. When the director noticed the cold aura from Trevon, he finally left the room.
At this moment, Natalie was at Athana Amusement Park buying food when the phone in her pocket
rang nonstop. Jenny, who was standing behind her, tactfully took the bag from Natalie’s hand so she
could answer the phone. “Hello, Sir.”

The attitude from the other end of the line was a little strange. “Mrs. Wilson, you’re outdoors,” The
director guessed as he heard the child’s screams.
Natalie held the phone between her car and shoulder, the tickets and food in her hand. “Yes, I am. Is
something the matter at the hospital?”
The director’s voice was filled withughter. It’s nothing. I’m just asking. What’s your rtionship with
Ward 1314’s Mr. Wilson? Have you known each other for a long time?”
The gentleness in Natalie’s eyes froze when she heard that. Natalie said unhappily. I don’t know him.”
The director was a little surprised. “You don’t know hum? Alright then. I’m just asking casually. Have fun
and report to work on time on Monday.” After hanging up, the director was still a little suspicious. They
didn’t know each other? Then why did Mr. Wilson’s assistant say that Mr. Wilson didn’t like them to
switch the staff who did the ward rounds and insisted on this one person?
However, when the director recalled the expression on Mr. Hawk’s face that day when he had asked for
Natalie to be the one who conducted the ward rounds, there was nothing special about it. It seemed
like a random choice.
After hanging up the phone, Natalie’s mood had not been affected much. It was normal for people to
tter and ask about the likes of the rich and powerful Such people had existed for thousands of years.
Most people were vain How many people would regard money and power as dirt? It was moremon
nowadays for bootlicking to happen. However, bootlicking was still very useful in the workce. Some
people were ced in important positions, while others were promoted and given a raise. The
workce seemed to have adapted to this, and the changes were bing more impetuous.
Natalie took the tickets and followed Sherri through the gate. Athana Amusement Park was very big, so
of course, there were many people.
It was Sunday, after all.
The amusement park smelled of delicious food. There was the smell of ice cream and popcorn. The
milky fragrance lingered in the air for a long time, and the amusement park was filled with colorful light
Sherri was yful and was as excited as a child “Natalie, let’s go and y bumper cars”
Natalie lowered her head and asked her son with a smile, Jasper, do you want to y on that little car?
We’ll bump into each other with your sister.”
The boy was very happy. “Okay!” Jasper could not suppress the joy on his face.
A child’s smule was the most healing thing in the world, and also infectious.
Jenny and Lena stood at the edge of the arena and looked at Natalie’s bright smile in relief. Natalie
looked very happy and
satisfied
Jasper was very bold, ying one ride after another with Sherri, who also loved ying. They yed
for about 3 hours until the two children got sleepy andy on their mother’s shoulders, falling asleep in
a daze.
Natalie’s arms were a little sore from carrying them. After all, the parking lot was a little way out, and
her little boy was not light. Jasper weighed about 22 pounds, and his hand held onto a corner of
Natalie’s clothes.
Lena was already carrying Ruby, and Sherri was holding the bags
Jenny saw that Natalie was putting up a strong front. “Miss Natalie, let me carry Jasper. You’ve been
carrying him for a while. Jasper doesn’t look plump, but he isn’t light.”
Natalie was really out of strength. Previously, when they had gone out in Sapphire City, her aunt, uncle,
and cousin had fought to carry the children. Natalie had barely used any energy. As such, Natalie did
not insist and let Jenny take Jasper from her arms,
Natalie shook her sore arms. “Oh no. My stamina has decreased. I’ve been talking about getting a
running machine for a few days, but I kept forgetting. I’ll go back and order one tonight.
Sherri looked at her best friend’s slightly trembling hand. “Look at how your hand is trembling as if you
have Parkinson’s. Why don’t I drive back?”
Natalie said in disdain, “Tll do it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat dinner if you drive.”
Sherri red at her. “Who are you looking down on? Why are you discriminating against me?”
“Miss, I just want to go home quickly and take the kids for dinner. Do you want to eat outside or at
home?”
“That’s more like it. You should cook. I haven’t eaten your cooking in a long time. Why don’t we call my
brother? The three of us haven’t met for a long time.”
Natalie did not refuse. “Go ahead. Ask Edward if he’s busy and what he wants to eat.”
Sherri immediately sent a message to her brother.
Natalie was still the one who drove back. The two children were in the back of the car, carried by Lena
and Jenny respectively.
When they were almost at Evergreen Gardens, Natalie turned her head and asked, “Has your brother
replied? Is heing? Let’s take the two children home, and we’ll go out to get some groceries
together.”
Sherri answered, “My brother said he won’t being since he needs to go on a business trip
tomorrow. He said he’ll meet us next time. Let him be. We’ll go and buy the groceries now.”
