Chapter 374 What Brings You Here?

We you something.”

Tyler jumped from the chair, his voice icy. “Come upstails need to ask

Paige hesitated, preparing herself to follow the children upstairs. They eyed her closely as if she were a

suspect.

“Why are you lying about Mommy being in the hospital? Tyler’s tone remained cold.

Liora chimed in. “We saw the surveillance footage. We know Mommy was badly hurt.”

Axel’s eyes filled with worry. “Have you visited Mommy in the hospital?”

Their questions dumbfounded Paige. “Please, don’t make this difficult. Carol didn’t want me to tell you.

She doesn’t want you to worry.

Tyler grunted. “So, you wouldn’t have told us if we hadn’t asked.”

Liora asked, “Godmother, how is Mommy?”

Axel stared at Paige, awaiting her response.

Paige finally answered, “Your mother is strong! She was in good shape when I visited her earlier.

She just has some skin injuries. Otherwise, she’s fine. She needs rest, so she can only come home

after fully recovering.”

Paige’s ears turned red from embarrassment. Stop treating me like a criminal, darlings…

Liora said, “Alright, we’ll pretend we don’t know about Mommy’s situation since she doesn’t want

us to know.”

Tyler wore a serious expression. “It would be best if you could update us daily on Mommy’s

condition, Godmother.”

Paige was stunned–it had been a long time since Tyler addressed her as ‘Godmother. She appreciated

it, even though she knew it had an ulterior motive.

“Okay, I’ll help you monitor Carol’s situation daily, alright?”

-Axel said softly, “Thank you for doing this.”

Paige playfully pinched Axel’s cheek. ‘Don’t be a stranger, Axel!”

He smiled.

After putting the three children to bed at night, Paige sent a report to Caroline. She set her phone down

and prepared for a shower, but it suddenly rang. She saw it was Alex and answered.

“Where are you?” Alex inquired.

Paige rubbed her neck. “I’m at Carol’s, looking after her kids.”

“Taking care of the children? Where’s Caroline?” Alex sounded puzzled.

Paige explained Caroline’s situation, leaving Alex shocked. ‘What’s all the fuss about?”

Paige retorted, “Why don’t you ask my employer about that? Why didn’t he rescue Carol from this

dire situation?”

Alex reasoned, “I can’t ask him right now. His mother just passed away, so I can’t make his situation

worse, right?”

Paige sighed. “If you can’t ask now, do it in a few days, you idiot! I’m hanging up. I’m exhausted!”

She ended the call soon after.

Alex looked at his phone, confused.

Observing Paige’s empty condo, he realized they wouldn’t be spending the next two nights

together due to Evan and Caroline’s situation.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided, ‘No! I won’t allow myself to be sacrificed without

even seeing my girlfriend.”

Grabbing his jacket and car keys, he headed out to meet Evan

At Villa Rosa.

The maid informed Alex that Evan was in the lounge, drinking.

Alex nodded and dismissed her. He picked up a liquor bottle from the shelf and went to the lounge.

As soon as he opened the door, cigarette smoke hit him. Alex wanted to turn and leave, choking on

the smell.

Evan turned his head, his voice deep and hoarse. “What brings you here?”
