The next morning, Yvonne planned to wake Elvin up herself, but Elvin was up even before her. He was already having breakfast at the dining table.Yvonne was a little surprised. "Honey, why are you up so early?""I couldn't sleep." Elvin held his glass of milk with both hands and took a sip. He looked rather troubled. Yvonne poured herself a glass of milk and sat down next to Elvin. "You're so young. Why couldn't you sleep? What were you thinking about?"Elvin lowered his head and said nothing.Yvonne picked up a piece of toast and put some jam on it before passing it to Elvin. "Eat up. I'll drop you off at school."Elvin finished his milk but didn't touch the piece of toast. He looked up at Yvonne and asked seriously, "Mommy, do you still like that evil man?"At first, Yvonne was stunned, but then she chuckled. "You're just five years old. What do you know about feelings?""I just want to know." Elvin looked Yvonne straight in the eye.Yvonne found it strange. "Why are you s
A car was parked under a tree at SunnyLight Kindergarten. Inside, Caleb was texting Conan about the final debugging of the platform for Hopeful Faith. Seeing that it was almost time, he put his phone away and looked up to see Yvonne sending Elvin off with his teacher.Yvonne was just about to head back when she heard a honk. She looked around and immediately recognized Caleb's car.Caleb got out of the car and leaned against the door. Seeing Yvonne approaching him, he said, "If Conan hadn't told me, when were you planning to tell me that Elvin had gone missing yesterday?"Yvonne replied, "Elvin was just being mischievous. We found him anyway. Why do I still need to tell you?""Conan said that Stephen accompanied you." Caleb leaned in closer and pretended to be hurt. "The first person you think of in times of trouble is still Stephen.""Don't listen to him. He didn't even step out of his room last night. He doesn't know anything. Elvin took Britney along and ran away. Britney is St
Even though Yvonne had been pounding on the door for a while, there was still no reaction from inside. She retreated and hinted at Curtis and Lloyd. They immediately understood her and kicked the door down together.It was dark inside, except for the light coming from the reading lamp on Conan's desk. Conan was on the ground.Yvonne's heart sank. She quickly went up to check on him and realized how hot he was. He was fine; he'd only passed out from a fever. She turned around and instructed, "Take him to the hospital.""Okay." Curtis and Lloyd took Conan away, while Yvonne followed them.She called Caleb. It seemed like he'd been waiting for the call, and he answered it quickly. "What do you need me to explain?"Yvonne was so furious that she laughed. "So, you knew about it all along." He hadn't told her about it when they'd met in the morning!"Great. Just great." Yvonne said curtly, "We're heading to the hospital right now. Come and explain it to my face.""Hospital? Are you—"
The next afternoon, Julian quickly entered Stephen's office and reported to him, "Sir, I've got to the bottom of it. It seems that the money Charles and Camille had invested before had been used to promote Hopeful Faith.""What?" Stephen had seen the news about Hopeful Faith while he'd been going through the finance section this morning. From what he knew, Charles had never invested in the medical field before. Why had he suddenly invested in an online medical platform?Stephen looked up at Julian and asked, "Who made this platform?"From the look in his eyes, Julian knew that Stephen had already guessed it. He nodded a little. "It's Conan. Turner Tech is also one of the partners."The vein on Stephen's forehead popped. Caleb was also involved in this?Julian was extremely efficient. Once he'd found out about the news, he'd quickly made a report regarding Hopeful Faith. He handed it with both hands to Stephen."Sir, the platform was developed with the support of Hope Health Servi
Yvonne got into Stephen's car. They said nothing to each other during the drive. When Yvonne realized that they were on the way to Anderson Mansion, she turned to Stephen and asked, "Are we heading to Anderson Mansion?""You have a good memory." His tone and expression were both void of emotion. Try as she might, Yvonne couldn't figure out what he was planning to do. She looked out of the window in a daze, as if she'd turned back in time to five years ago, when she'd first married into the Anderson family."Since I'm ugly and you're blind, we're a perfect match."Her words from their first meeting popped into her mind. Yvonne couldn't help but smile. Thinking back, she'd been quite arrogant back then. Stephen seemed to have noticed and cast a glance at Yvonne from the corner of his eyes.…At Anderson Mansion, Camille stood in front of Philip, wiping her tears. "Father, you must help Conan. He's your grandson too …"Philip said curtly, "Isn't he great? He left for five years w
Yvonne's doctor instincts kicked in immediately. She rushed up to Harry, asking, "Where is she?""Upstairs …" Harry grabbed Yvonne with his bloody hands. "Can you save her?"Yvonne pulled her hand out of his grasp. "Let me have a look." Then, she headed upstairs, leaving the others behind.Stephen no longer paid attention to Charles and Camille. Instead, he chose to follow Yvonne upstairs. In her room, Brenda was lying on the floor, groaning in pain and looking pale. Blood had soaked through the rug under the lower half of her body. Yvonne ran into the room and quickly bent down next to Brenda. She lifted the woman's skirt to examine the situation.Stephen was caught off guard by such a bloody scene. He stopped in his tracks suddenly, as if he'd hit an invisible wall. His face lost all of its color. Unable to help himself, he retched.Yvonne was focused on Brenda, so she didn't notice what was happening to Stephen. She helped relieve Brena's pain for a bit while yelling at the d
After returning to Miller Villa, Yvonne showered and threw her blood-stained clothes away. She took Stephen's jacket and headed out of the shower.She picked up her phone just in time to receive Stephen's message. "Brenda and her child are safe."It was a simple sentence, yet it was enough to make Yvonne happy.She replied, "Okay." She stared at the chat for a long time, hesitating whether to ask him how he was doing. Although Stephen had looked calm, Yvonne was worried about him. She'd met many patients with childhood traumas throughout the years. Although they might seem like any ordinary person after many treatments, things could flare up once more if they encounter something similar to the traumatic incident from their childhood.She thought about how Stephen was still checking on Brenda. Perhaps he wasn't doing so bad after all.In the end, she put her phone down.…In a mere three days, Hopeful Faith had become the number one app in the medical category, yet Conan was
Mark didn't make things difficult for Elvin. He merely sat in front of him and finished the cake slowly. Mark liked pastries a lot. The cakes in this shop were to his liking.Before leaving, he took another slice of cake to go. Then, he signaled his men to let Curtis and Lloyd go.Curtis quickly ran over to Elvin, put the boy behind him, and glared at Mark."Don't look at me that way," Mark said nonchalantly, with a hint of danger.Seeing Curtis not respond to his words, Mark smiled mockingly. "I guess you must have been away from Emerald Group for too long, seeing how you've forgotten that you were once my lapdog. I hate dogs that forget their owners."With that, Mark took a step back. His men instantly understood and went up to Curtis."Don't hurt the child," Mark said calmly before leaving the shop, ignoring the fight going on behind him.…That night, Yvonne returned home to hear Lloyd crying. Curtis scolded him with a raspy voice, "Stop crying like a girl and help me put o
