In the VIP ward of the city hospital.


    When Theodore arrived, the kids were acting out a ssic y, which was Three Little Pigs.


    The main roles were yed by Adrienne, stair, as well as Yvonne’s son, Hansen.


    The three children were wearing pink piglet costumes, and they were reading the lines.Meanwhile, Helen was also ying the role of the big grey wolf, and she cooperated well with the three children.


    “Grandma,” Theodoregreeted her respectfullyas he entered the room.


    Then, Helen straightened up from the carpet, turned her head and looked at Theodore. She asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”


    Without waiting for him to reply, thergest of the three pigs immediately took off her headgear and ran towards him. She hugged his thigh and said, “Daddy!”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Adrienne raised her head. Her long and beautiful hair was tied in two low braids by her ears. They were tied with colorful hair bands, which made her look very cute.


    Theodore picked her up. “I’m here to see you guys.”


    Adrienne immediately revealed a sweet smile. “Daddy, stair and I are rehearsing with Great-Grandma. There’s a Thanksgiving g in our school, soe with Mommy for it!”


    He nodded without hesitation and asked, “Where’s your mommy? Isn’t she here?”


    “Mommy is at work. She won’t being back until nightfall.”


    Adrienne looked at Theodore with her head tilted to one side and suddenly smiled. “Daddy, you’re not here to see us, right? You’re here to see Mommy.”


    Theodore’s expression froze.


    At the side, Helen alsoughed and said, “Adrienne, isn’t it obvious? He asked where your mother was as soon as he came. Obviously, he didn’te to see us.”


    He was speechless.


    “If you’re here to see Everleigh, then just say so. Why are you still looking for an excuse? You honestly deserve to be single.”Helen red at Theodore, exasperated that he had failed to live up to her expectations.


    However,he didn’t argue any further as he hugged Adrienne and asked, “Adrienne, do you want to eat ice cream?”


    Upon hearing about ice cream, her eyes lit up. Without thinking, she nodded and said, “Yes!”


    “Then I will take you to eat ice cream.”


    “Okay, okay!” Adrienne grinned happily. She turned her head and asked, “stair, Hansen, will you go with me?”


    stair and Hansen had just taken off their hoods and were sitting on the carpet drinking water. When stair heard this, he was the first to shake his head. “I’m not going.”


    Hansen sat quietly by his side, also shaking his head. When he smiled, he had a bashful look on his face.


    “Alright, then I’ll buy some and bring them back for you two,” Adrienne hugged Theodore’s neck, her voice full of joy like that of a littlerk. “Daddy, let’s go! Let’s go buy some ice cream! I want the strawberry vored one!”


    Seeing Theodore leaving with Adrienne in his arms, Helen said meaningfully, “At least he’s smart enough to use his child as an excuse.”


    …


    At this time, Everleigh was in a meeting in the office, with several interns around her.


    “Martin, there’s still a problem with your sewing. You’d better learn from Joyce when you’re free. Sutures like yours can’t be used on the operating table.”


    “Yes, I got it, Dr. Trevino.”


    “Zoe, have you figured out the question I asked youst time?”


    “I’ve figured it out.”


    “Okay, tell me about it. I’m listening.”


    Zoe was one of the most outstanding interns under Everleigh, and he was also Everleigh’s focus when asking questions. She liked to test him with difficult medical conditions. However, no matter how excellent a student was, theycked experience in dealing with practical problems.


    When asked too many questions, Zoe would inevitably doubt himself. Thus, a talented student would be reduced to a timid person in front of Everleigh.He paled, thenanswered her as if he was reciting from a book.


    “First of all, one can’t exclude the possibility that the patient is pregnant. We must try our best to keep her and the child safe…”


    It was not until Zoe finished his answer that Everleigh said, “Do you think you are satisfied with this answer?”


    Then, his face turned pale. “I’m not satisfied.”


    “What are you dissatisfied with?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “You don’t know, but you still said you’re dissatisfied?” Everleigh said with a gloomy face. Obviously, she was unhappy with his answer.


    Zoe broke out in a cold sweat, and he dared not utter a word.


    Everleigh corrected, “What do you mean by saying that we must try our best to keep her and the child safe, but we should focus on the pregnant woman if there’re any problems?You have to be clear about what you are doing. If you can’t keep the both of them safe, the decision about which to save lies not in your hands, but instead, in the patient and the family’s hands.”


    Zoe wasn’t able to respond.


    “Alright, that’s all for today. Martin, remember to do consecutive stitch work as practice. Zoe, read the patient files in the archive room more often. Clinical doctors can’t just memorize theory.”


    “Yes, Dr. Trevino.”


    As soon as the interns stepped out of Everleigh’s office, all of them looked extremely relieved.


    “What’s wrong with Dr. Trevino today?She’s in an extremely bad mood.”


    “Isn’t it?She nearly scared me to death by asking me those series of questions. I’ve never been good at pediatric psychology, anyway.”


    “It’s not just you. Even Zoe was mmed really badly…”


    The students walked while theyined about Everleigh, and they didn’t notice that a tall figure with a child had passed by them while listening intently to what they were saying.


    Then, Adrienne held Theodore’s neck and whispered, “Daddy, they seem to be Mommy’s interns.I think they’re talking about Mommy!”


    “Is that so?”


    “Yes, that guy looking down is Mommy’s favorite student. I’ve seen him several times, and thatdy over there also gave me chocte once before.”


    Upon hearing this, Theodore put Adrienne down. “You heard them say that your Mommy was unhappy, right?”


    “Why?” Adrienne blinked her eyes. “Mommy was fine in the morning. She said to me and stair that she would like to watch our performance.”


    Theodore didn’t know how to exin what happened.


    Adrienne looked at him for a long time before she suddenly said, “Daddy, you made Mommy unhappy, didn’t you?”


    He was at a loss for words.


    “I knew it.” She smiled proudly. “Mommy rarely gets angry. If she is unhappy, it must be because you did something wrong, Daddy.”


    These words were really illogical, but it was obvious that in that day’s situation, it was true.


    Then, Theodore knelt down in front of Adrienne, making him at the same height as her. He asked patiently, “Do you have any solutions?”


    Adrienne raised her eyebrows and crossed her short arms, saying, “Daddy, you are so stupid. You don’t even know how to make a woman happy.”


    Being taught a lesson by a child was really not a glorious thing, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, daughtersunderstood their mothers best. Hence, Adrienne must have a way to deal with it. That was why he brought her out to eat ice cream.


    “Although Mommy tells me not to eat so many sweet things, she is like me in the way thatshe likes sweet strawberry cakes the most.” Adrienne blinked, leaned over to Theodore’s ear and said, “Daddy, I suggest you make one by yourself. It is more sincere that way.”
