When Saniogo went back to the ward, he saw Missha who was in a panic. "Saniogo, where have you been? You scared me," she said.

"I went for the body checkup," he replied truthfully. He couldn't help but feel warm when he saw how anxious she got.

"Aunt Missha you were sleeping soundly when I saw you so I didn't wake you up," Alexander explained.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she became worried again and asked, "How did it go?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Missha. He is still in the early stage. He will be fine after recuperating slowly in the hospital for a few days. It's better not to get emotional or else, the risks of a relapse will be very high." Everleigh's words were serious when she talked to Missha and Alexander.

Both of them understood what she meant. She was talking about Cynthia.

"Okay, we understand." Missha nodded and her expression became even colder.

"I'll go to work now. I'll come over to have lunch with you at noon." Everleigh put her hands into her pockets and said to Saniogo with a smile.

He nodded. "Go ahead. I'll get someone to cook something you like to eat."

"It's fine, I already told them to make something suitable for you. We can eat together. You can't eat lavishly so you might suffer watching me eat," she chuckled.

He gave a resigned smile as it sounded reasonable.

At noon, Everleigh was about to go to Saniogo's ward when she saw Theodore bringing Alastair and Adrienne over.

"Mommy!" Adrienne shouted.

Everleigh looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile, "Why are you guys here?"

"I called you but you didn't answer. I was worried so I came over to take a look. Coincidentally, Adrienne called me and said that she wanted to see you too, so I brought them with me." "My uncle was hospitalized last night. I was worried so I didn't go back."

Theodore frowned. "What happened?"

"Let's talk while walking," she sighed softly; exhaustion could be seen all over her face.

Everleigh had almost finished explaining when they arrived at the door of the ward.

Theodore didn't say anything, but Adrienne said from time to time, "Grand-Uncle is so pitiful." "He would definitely be delighted to see the both of you."

Adrienne smiled, showing a row of small teeth and felt happy listening to her words.

When the family of four entered, Adrienne took small strides and leaned over the bedside. Because of her short height, she could only show her small head. "Grand-Uncle, I'm here to see you." Saniogo's eyes were filled with joy when he saw her. "Adrienne, when did you arrive?"

"Daddy and I heard that you were ill so I came here specially to see you." When she said that he was ill, there was some sadness in her small eyes.

Missha and Alexander were overjoyed as well to see Adrienne.

"Adrienne, come here." Alexander waved and gestured for her to come over.

Adrienne held Saniogo's hand and said, "No, I want to be with Grand-Uncle. I'm here to see him."

Her words made everyone in the ward laugh, especially Saniogo, who was obviously in a good mood. The happiness in his eyes could clearly be seen.

"Mr. Jenkins, are the results okay?" Theodore walked over and asked softly.

"It's not a big deal. Besides, Everleigh is here. You can rest assured," Saniogo replied with a smile.

Theodore nodded and didn't say anything else.

Soon, the nurse brought the food they ordered. Everleigh was worried that the food wasn't enough so she went out to buy more. Theodore looked at her tired face and pulled her over. "You go ahead and eat, I'll buy it." Then, he turned around and left.

Alastair followed silently behind him.

Everleigh arched her eyebrows and thought, "Is there something wrong with Alastair?"

Didn't he say that he didn't like Theodore?

"Alastair had been very close to Daddy recently. He called him too," Adrienne said in a childish tone while sitting beside her.

Everleigh reached out her hand and stroked her daughter's head. Then, she went over and put Saniogo's dishes on the table. She spoke as she put them on the table, "Uncle, you should eat this for the time being. I'll improve your menu in a few days."

"Alright, it's up to you." It didn't matter what he ate. What mattered was that she had put her heart into it.

On the other hand, Missha took care of Adrienne. She picked up any food the girl wanted to eat.

"Grand-Aunt, you should eat too." Adrienne picked up some food for her.

Missha looked at her. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She turned to Alexander and said, "You and Cecil should also work hard to have a child like Adrienne in the future."

"We will," Alexander responded seriously. He liked Alastair and Adrienne very much, so he naturally hoped to have children like them one day.

The future days could be even livelier, he thought.

Missha smiled without saying anything.

Theodore and Alastair also bought a lot of things besides food, which were little tokens of their appreciation.

With Adrienne there, the ward felt merry.

Saniogo and Missha both laughed a lot being entertained by them.

Everleigh left the two children behind while Theodore followed her to the office.

"You should go to work. Fetch the kids tonight." She knew that he was busy and didn't have much time left.

"Okay, I'll leave in a while," he replied in a low voice.

She knew that he wanted to stay with her longer, but that was how her job was. She was very busy and didn't even have enough time to rest.

In the afternoon, Christopher and Erine visited Saniogo. It wasn't a surprise that he knew Christopher since they were all Everleigh's friends. They were there to deliver their regards. Other than Christopher, Abraham visited too.

The two people chatted for a while. Abraham said, "Geez, how could Everleigh not tell me? I would have come to see you earlier."

"It's alright; it's not a big deal. Does the whole world have to know?" Saniogo waved his hand. He didn't want to tell anyone at first either. There were people from Jenkins Group eyeing them covetously too, so it was hard to say what kind of trouble they would cause at a time like this.

Abraham also understood his concerns.

Alexander poured him a glass of water and said, "Uncle Abraham, drink some water."

"Ah, alright." He was very surprised by how Alexander addressed him, but he replied to him.

Missha looked at Abraham and found that he seemed a little familiar to her, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Mr. Trevino, may I ask what is your full name?" She asked curiously.

"My name is Abraham Trevino."

When she heard the name, her whole body shivered and her eyes were full of surprise. It was no wonder that he looked so familiar.

"You and Everleigh's mother..." She said in surprise.

Abraham lowered his eyes and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Saniogo and Alexander were both stunned. What did that mean?

Missha realised what she said was a bit inappropriate, so she said indifferently, "Forget it. It's been so many years, and Lilian is already dead."

Alexander and Saniogo looked at each other and again thought, what did she mean by that?

Looking at the father and son of the Jenkins family, Abraham said with a wry smile, "I fell in love with Lilian at first sight, but unfortunately... Welment was the only one in her heart. Speaking of this, Miss Jenkins, you still remembered me after our parting last time."

"After so many years, there aren't many people whom I can remember. We're all old now," she said emotionally.

They were the only people who grew older; Missha, on the other hand, didn't change much.
