Looking at everyone’s anxious look, especially Susie, Tim knew in his heart that he must have made trouble. He lowered his head and did not know what to do. He said with a tearful voice, “Susie, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“It’s okay. You can’t do this next time. Let my sister, teachers, and children worry about you,” Susie said.
She had been playing with the children before. If the children could not be found because of her negligence or something bad happened, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life. Now she finally found them.
It was getting dark. Susie and Liam said goodbye to the people in the orphanage and were ready to go home.
“Is Susie very fond of children?” Liam asked in the car.
“Well, I’m very happy to get along with them. I don’t have the kind of schemes like adults. I feel relaxed when I talk,” Susie said happily.
“Moreover, my parents are gone. Looking at them, I seem to have seen myself. I hope to do my best to give them a happy childhood…”
Susie’s expression was a little sad. Her voice was particularly soft. If she didn’t listen carefully, she would have been ignored and thought that she was muttering to herself.
Liam’s heart ached for this girl. From the first time he saw her, her sweet smile was still lingering in his mind for a long time. He made up his mind to protect this smile.
…
When Elio returned home, his mother saw him and said, “Elio, where did you go yesterday? You don’t know how I cared about you. I called you early in the morning and said that your phone was turned off. I asked you where you were.”
Elio’s heart skipped a beat. “Does Millicent know that I didn’t go home last night? Does she know that I stayed in the hospital all night? If she knows why I said that this morning?”
“Mom, what did you say?” Elio asked anxiously.
“My child, I must have told you the truth. I told you that you received an important call yesterday, and then you went out for the whole night without returning,” said Mrs. Ann, looking at Elio with blame.
“Your mobile phone is off. I’m sure he cares about you. He kindly called me to ask about your situation. It’s not a big deal. You can talk to her and explain it to him so that she won’t misunderstand you.”
Sure enough, Millicent knew it… Then her lie in the morning had been seen through by her…
Elio was full of regret, but there was nothing he could do. He only hoped that Millicent would not think too much about it and misunderstand him and Irene.
…
At this time in the hospital, Irene, who hadn’t rested for a few days, said that she would be discharged from the hospital.
“Irene, the doctor said that you should rest more. You just entered the hospital the night before yesterday, and now you are going to be discharged from the hospital in a hurry,” Millicent said in disagreement.
“I’ve been resting for a day, haven’t I?” Irene insisted on leaving the hospital.
“Just a day off!” Millicent touched Irene’s forehead, her eyes full of helplessness.
“Do you really think that your body won’t be bad after being hit by iron?”
“Millicent, I know you care about me, but don’t I know my own body well? Don’t worry. It’s okay to leave the hospital now.” Irene begged Millicent.
“I’m really worried about the company, and there is also a plan case. This is the first time that I have done such a big thing in the company. I want to let the people in the company and people outside see it. I don’t want to let Edward down!” Irene was a little disappointed.
Since she took over the company, although she had gradually gained a firm foothold with Elio’s help and driven out some of the small people in the company, if she didn’t show her strength, how could she let those who liked to gossip outside shut up?
Although there were some people working with the group and the celebrities outside, they didn’t say anything on the surface, but they would more or less mind it in their hearts. A woman was nothing but Mrs. Wilson. How could she take over such a large group of Wilson?
Although Irene had worked in the Wilson before, it was far different from managing the Wilson. If she didn’t show some strength, how could she frighten those evil spirits outside?
Some people had given up, while others had left.
Maybe he would lie dormant and wait for an opportunity. This kind of person was the most terrible. Once they found an opportunity, they would not let it go easily unless they bit off a piece of flesh.
Irene was not stupid. She knew that there were many people who could keep an eye on the fat of the Wilson. After all, they thought from the bottom of their hearts that Edward would never come back again. They just waited for the Wilson to show any flaws and then they would rush over.
Looking at Irene like this, Millicent didn’t know what to say.
“Irene, it’s not that you don’t know. It’s been so long, but there’s still no news of Edward. It’s very likely that he has already…” Millicent couldn’t bear to say the rest of his words.
Irene understood what Millicent meant and knew what she was going to say.
“Millicent, I don’t believe that he will abandon us and leave alone. I firmly believe that he is still alive in this world.” Irene looked firmly in the direction of the void and said, as if Edward was waving at her in that direction.
Irene couldn’t help telling Millicent about the meeting with her mother-in-law that night.
Millicent smiled helplessly. “Irene, you never believed in these things before.”
“I didn’t believe it before, but the mother-in-law was very accurate.” Irene recalled the experience of that night. Even she felt it was a little unreal. Later, she had sent someone to look for her, but she had never found the old woman again.
People nearby also said that they had never seen such a small stall set up by an old woman. Even if there was an old man, they had never seen the old woman mentioned by Irene.
Irene couldn’t help wondering if it was just an illusion or a dream that night. But the memory in her mind clearly told her that it wasn’t.
“What if Celine? It’s just that the old woman just said it correctly, or it’s arranged by someone with ulterior motives,” Millicent said. Although she didn’t want to blow Irene’s heart, what she said was too mysterious.
“Impossible. If it was a coincidence, it was all right. How could there be such a coincidence? You said that it was impossible for others to arrange it deliberately. I also thought about it, but all of this was too flawless. Everything was planned.” Irene shook her head and said.
“And I have a voice in my heart telling me that Edward is not dead.”
“If he didn’t die, why didn’t he come to you?” Millicent retorted.
“I don’t know, but I will never believe it if I don’t see his body!” Irene smiled bitterly. If Edward was alive, where was he? Why didn’t he come to her…
Looking at Irene like this, Millicent knew that no matter how others said she was, she would not accept the fact that Edward was no longer in Edward. In the end, she still had to let Irene go. If she came out, others would not be able to help her…
On second thought, it was not a good thing. At least Irene now had a hope to support her to go on, so that she would not live like a walking dead.
Elio rushed over when he learned that Irene was about to leave the hospital.
He didn’t agree with her. “Irene, you’re too reckless. You’re just joking with your body.”
“Millicent, you should also persuade her.” Looking at Millicent here, Elio didn’t know how to face her for a while, and his eyes were a little uncertain.
“I’ve tried to persuade him. It’s useless.” Millicent didn’t seem to notice his abnormality. He shrugged helplessly.
“Elio, you don’t have to persuade me. I’m fine now,” Irene said firmly.
“But…” Elio was still a little worried.
“I know you’re doing this for my own good. Don’t worry.”
Seeing that Irene had made up her mind, it seemed that no matter what they said, Irene would not change her mind. Elio and Millicent accompanied Irene to complete the discharge procedure and left the hospital.
“Irene, ask servant to stew more soup for you when you get home.” Millicent shattered along the way and told Irene.
The strange thing was that Elio was silent all the way. No one knew what he was thinking, and he didn’t say a word.
“Well, I know you care about me the most. It’s just a minor illness that made you so surprised.” Irene patted Millicent’s hand and said with a smile.
“It’s easy to cause a serious illness!”
Seeing that Irene didn’t take it seriously, Millicent looked a little serious.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll be careful next time. I won’t let such a thing happen. Are you relieved now?”
“I can barely rest assured, but you don’t have a promise. I still have to ask Lee to supervise you at all times.” Millicent didn’t take Irene’s words seriously and said mischievously.
Looking at Xia Millicent, Irene felt warm in her heart. It was so nice to have a friend around. They chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at Irene’s home.
“I won’t keep you here.”
Irene wanted to leave some space for them so that they could stay alone. As a light bulb, she had better go home and think about the proposal.
“Well, goodbye. Take good care of yourself.” Millicent waved her hand and reminded Irene.
Watching Irene disappear from his sight, Elio and Bai Si thought for a while and finally said, “I didn’t mean to…”
He was a little nervous. He had been thinking about this all the way, so he didn’t know how to tell her. It was even more inconvenient for Irene to be there.
Before he could finish his words, Millicent turned her head and interrupted him. She asked curiously, “What did you do this morning on purpose?”
Looking at Millicent’s ignorant look, Elio thought that maybe she didn’t know. She might think that he had stayed outside all night, but she didn’t expect that he had actually stayed in the hospital for the first night…
Elio thought for a while. Since he didn’t know what to say, he had better keep it to himself so that he wouldn’t misunderstand. He had to explain it to her.
