Oh no!

“Aileen!” Silas suddenly cried out.

Aileen was interrupted before she could finish her words. She turned around and looked at Silas inconfusion. “What is it, Silas? Is there anything wrong?”

Silas knew that his great-grandfather despised Eliana. If Earle found out that Aileen and Adrian wereher children, he might begin to treat them wrongly.

“You should see the worried look on your face.” Earle frowned and continued, “Well, we’re all listening.If you have anything to say, just say it.”

It was a rare occurrence for Silas to hesitate with his words.

To protect his friends, he couldn’t tell the truth, but lying to his family was not an option. It was not theright thing to do.

Everyone in the ward looked at him expectantly at the same time, waiting for him to continue, but hismind went blank.

Fortunately for him, the doctor interrupted their conversation.

“Kids, I’m afraid it’s time to leave. You all should go now because Mr. Moran needs to rest to regain hisstrength.”

With everyone distracted, Silas was greatly relieved.

The three kids obediently filed out of Earle’s ward. When Silas checked his smartwatch, he saw severalmissed calls from Maurice.

What was going on this time? There might have been an emergency! Otherwise, Maurice wouldn’thave attempted to contact him repeatedly.

Fearing for the worse, he immediately dialed Maurice’s number.

“Um, hello?”

“Silas, why haven’t you been answering my calls? Tell me where you are this instant. Did you take thetwins with you? Do you know that their mother is going crazy because she couldn’t replace them?” Mauricesaid with frustration in his voice.

Uh-oh! Eliana had been searching for Adrian and Aileen all this time?

Realizing that he had done something wrong, Silas quickly replied, “I’m now at the hospital with great-grandfather. Adrian and Aileen are here with me.”

“I see. Just stay put. I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Maurice got inside his car and immediately drove to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital lobby, he saw the three children sitting together on the chairs by thehallway. Letting out a sigh of relief, he went straight to them.

Adrian was the first one to see Maurice approaching. He frowned and said in disgust, “What are youdoing here? I want my mommy!”

Maurice snorted in annoyance and glared at Adrian. He had just postponed several important meetingsto personally see if they were alright. Hearing the young boy complain, he immediately ran out ofpatience.

“Watch it, kid. I’m in no mood to tolerate that attitude of yours.”

As soon as they met, it seemed they were about to start a fight with each other.

“Can you please stop arguing? I am so hungry and sleepy.”

Aileen leaned back against the chair, holding her stomach and closing her eyes.

“Wait a minute. You all haven’t eaten yet?”

Curled up on the chair, Aileen looked so cute that Maurice felt sorry for her.

Realizing that he hadn’t gotten food for his friends, Silas nodded in embarrassment.

“Well then, let me take you to dinner first.”

Maurice picked up the sleepy Aileen and carried her to the car, beckoning the two boys to follow him.After a few minutes, he took the three children to the McDonald’s restaurant.

When the food arrived at their table, Maurice sent a message to Eliana, informing her that he was withthe kids.

While Maurice was busy texting on his phone, Aileen looked at the refreshing soda on the table andbegan to drool. She couldn’t help reaching out her little hand to pick up the cup. But before she couldeven take a sip, Maurice snatched the soda away.

“Nope. Soft drinks are not good for children.” Maurice put the iced soda near him and handed Aileen abottle of yogurt. “Here, drink this.”

“But I want to drink soda. Please, Mr. Moran. I promise I will only take a sip!”

Aileen tugged at the hem of Maurice’s clothes and began to act like a spoiled child.

This particular trick of hers had always worked in the past. But unfortunately, nothing she did couldchange Maurice’s mind.

Frowning in defeat, Aileen had no choice but to take the yogurt and drink it. While sipping the tastybeverage, she rolled her eyes and complained, “Darn it.”

Maurice simply smiled and took a big gulp of soda for everyone to see, which further annoyed Aileen.

Adrian couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “You should set a good example before lecturing others.”

Little did he know that his words would soon affect everyone else at the table. Within seconds, Mauricetook Adrian’s soda away and stopped drinking it himself.

Then he shot a meaningful look at Silas.

“I’m not actually fond of soda. I like yogurt better!” Silas immediately announced, understandingMaurice’s signal.

In the end, all the drinks on the table were replaced with yogurt.

A toothy grin slowly appeared on Aileen’s face. She felt better now that they were all equal.

She raised the yogurt and said happily, “Cheers!”

Silas raised his yogurt cup in the air while Maurice and Adrian looked at each other and then turnedtheir heads away in disgust.

“Oh, come on now! Let’s all be friends and drink together!”

Aileen held their hands and showed them her puppy eyes. Groaning in frustration, Maurice and Adrianhad no choice but to give in.

When Eliana arrived, she saw Aileen holding the hands of both Maurice and Adrian as they cheerfullybumped their cups together in the air.

Eliana paused for a moment and smiled. She couldn’t help but cherish the happy scene in front of her.
