“My waist hurts, my legs and also…”
“No rush, let me have a look.”
While facing her patients, she was gentle and patient and to her job, she was respectful to the
profession.
The moment she started to hustle, time passed in a split second. Unknowingly it was already noon, the
time to pick the children up.
She looked at her long line of patients and thought. If I were to leave, they would have wasted their
time queueing. Everyone’s time is precious, let alone the patients who require immediate attention.
After hesitating for a few moments, she grabbed her phone and gave Davin a call.
“Sister-in-law, you want me to pick up the children?”
“Yea, I’m too busy to leave for even just a moment. Is it convenient for you?”
Davin looked at his few buddies, feeling conflicted.
It was not exactly convenient for him either.
After contemplation, he replied. “Don’t worry sister-in-law, I will go pick those children up, you go ahead
and do your work.”
“Alright, thank you.”
“No problem.”
Hanging up, he located Evan’s phone number. “It’s your kids and the kids’ mother isn’t free. You as the
father should go pick them up.”
Nicole might have been too shy to ask Evan, but Davin was more than willing to help. He felt that if his
brother were to fetch the children, it would be a chance to bring the family closer. With that, he dialed
his brother.
Evan who was rushing for a meeting checked the caller ID and answered the call.
“Evan, you need to go pick up the four kids. Sister-in-law isn’t free. They are about to end school, so
don’t be late!”
Evan furrowed his brows. What was that woman so busy with that she doesn’t even have time to pick
up the children?
Wait, if she doesn’t have the time, why is it Davin calling me and not her?
Evan was about to ask for a clearer explanation when Davin interrupted, “That’s all Evan, hurry along.”
With that last line, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
His handsome face immediately sunk. He peeked at the time, passed the files to John, and walked out
of the office without a word.
John was flustered. The board of directors are all waiting in the meeting room, is the meeting to
proceed or not?
What is the meaning behind the president’s departure? How am I going to give the directors an
account?
Evan speed in the direction of Grant Kindergarten.
When he reached the kindergarten, he was just in time for dismissal. For a while, he saw Juan and
Kyle carrying their small school bags, happily walking out of school.
The surrounding schoolmates were extremely polite to them.
Juan had an air of a young master, greeting his schoolmates, while Kyle put on an indifferent face, his
cold personality was the same as usual. He maintained a cold attitude towards his schoolmates’
friendly greetings.
Regardless of the two children’s appearance, there were still many who surrounded them and even
their teacher greeted them in a friendly manner as she walked past.
Evan knew very clearly that it was because the Seet Group was not in a position to be looked down on,
as well as the Seet family’s wealth. As such, the two were treated like that.
He always felt that the two being given special treatment wasn’t a good thing at all. It would be
detrimental to their growth if they got used to being put on a pedestal.
Hence, he considered seriously whether he should change their learning environment.
“Huh? Daddy, why are you here to pick us up today? Where is Mommy?”
Juan boisterously ran to him, blinking his two black eyes curiously.
Evan returned to his senses and looked down at Juan. How was he supposed to know what that
woman Nicole Lane was up to?
He was very curious too.
Kyle walked over and asked the exact same question.
Why did the children only ask for their mother? Were they not happy that he, their father, came to pick
them?
Evan displayed a cold expression on his handsome face and his tone calm as he replied, “Your mother
is lost.”
With that, he turned and walked towards the Rolls-Royce.
Juan looked at Kyle, what did ‘lost’ mean, could they never find her?
They could never find Mommy?
“Daddy, why is Mommy lost?”
“Yes Daddy, why is Mommy lost?”
Juan and Kyle asked nervously as they chased after him.
