The sound of a gunshot rang out, and blood sttered into Micah''s eyes.
Micah suddenly woke up from the nightmare, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, gasping for breath.
''I must prevent this tragedy from happening.''
Just as he was thinking, an excited scream came from outside. "Mommy-"
Micah was slightly startled and quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went to check.
Three children woke up in the morning and found someone in the room where Mommy used to stay. They thought Mommy hade back and immediately ran over screaming. However, the person being pushed out in a wheelchair by the medical staff was E!
The three children stopped in their tracks, staring at her in astonishment.
Nathan widened his eyes, looking puzzled. "E? How did you end up in my house?"
Mia''s little face was full of disappointment, but she still politely asked, "E, are you injured?"
Noah furrowed his brow, remaining silent.
E smiled and exined in signnguage, "I had a car ident and got injured. Since your house has a medical room, I will stay here temporarily for a while. Sorry for the disturbance." "Oh, I see." Nathan nodded politely and said, "Wish you a speedy recovery!"
"I also wish you a speedy recovery." Mia smiled at E.
"Thank you, Natty, Mimi!" E gestured in signnguage to express her gratitude.
"You''re wee..."
"E!" Suddenly, Noah said seriously, "Just call us by our names. Noey, Natty, and Mimi are what my parents call us; it''s not suitable for you to use."
E looked a bit embarrassed but quickly changed her tone. "Alright, Noah."
"Wish you a speedy recovery!" Noah bowed to her, then turned and left.
"Let''s go have breakfast." Nathan also went downstairs.
Only Mia approached, asking friendly, "E, have you had breakfast?"
E shook her head with a smile.
"Why don''t you join me for breakfast downstairs? Mary has recently learned to make chocte toast," Mia gestured with a smile, "It''s a delicious breakfast." "Really? I''d love to try it," E signed with enthusiasm, her face beaming.
"Let''s go, I''ll take you." Mia warmly invited.
"Thank you, Mia!" E affectionately patted Mia''s head.
The two of them descended the elevator together. At that moment, Mia spotted Micah standing at his room''s doorway and waved at him. "Good morning, Daddy!" "Morning." Micah, noticing the children weren''t too upset, closed the door without making eye contact with E throughout.
E, as she was about to say good morning, noticed him retreating to his room. She could only offer a wistful smile as she lowered her hand.
Downstairs, Noah and Nathan walked to the dining table together.
Noah''s expression was very cold. Nathan leaned over and whispered, "Don''t be like this. She saved Mia. Let''s treat her as a guest."
"I didn''t say anything." Noah sat in his own seat.
"Alright." Nathan shrugged. He knew that Noah''s personality was exactly like Daddy''s-cold and stubborn, and no one could persuade him. "Noah, Nathan, good morning!"
At this moment, Ss pushed Grandpa Clemens over, and Grandpa Clemens greeted the children energetically.
"Good morning, great-grandpa!" Nathan responded with a smile.
"Good morning, great-grandpa!" Noah''s response was polite yet distant.
Grandpa Clemens had already anticipated that Noah might find it difficult to ept, but he felt that the children would eventually go through such a process. Their mommy had passed away, and Daddy would eventually marry a new mommy.
But he hadn''t told the children yet, hoping that E would first establish a good rtionship with the children before finding an opportunity tomunicate with them. "Great-grandpa!" At this moment, Mia walked over with E and greeted Grandpa Clemens from a distance, "Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Grandpa Clemens was very pleased. At least Mia did not reject E.
