Raymond was shocked. “Holy cow! What the hell is that? A ghost?!” “Marianne Colister. I think she’s here for me.” Mona squinted and got a better look at the woman’s face. She put her hand on the handle, wanting to go down. “Let me go and see what she wants.” “No. I should go.” Raymond unfastened his seatbelt. He told Mona to stay in the car and made sure she locked it before he went over. He had heard a thing or two about Marianne as well. From being one of the most popular celebrities to a common enemy that got banned on every single platform online, it only took her less than half a year to ruin her reputation. It was all because of her arrogance and the troubles she caused for Mona. These were the consequences of her reckless and foolish actions. “Marianne, are you trying to get yourself killed?” Raymond was assaulted by a heavy alcoholic stench when he approached the woman. He quickly covered his nose and frowned in disgust. “If you want to die, go somewhere else.

Mona’s words put a gloomy look on Thaddeus's face. He stared at her face and pursed his thin lips in silence. The officers in the station looked at the two, assuming they were a couple bickering in public. Raymond bolted up and stood in between the two of them. He blocked Mona behind him and smiled at Thaddeus to prevent things from escalating. “Thad, come on. It’s getting late. Shouldn’t you be on your way? You wouldn’t want Samantha waiting, would you?” Thaddeus sneaked another glance at Mona before he looked at Raymond with the grind. “What did you tell her, Raymond?” Raymond’s expression froze. He curled his fist and cleared his throat. “It’s a long story. How about a rain check? Let’s send her home first.” “Get out of my way! I will deal with you later.” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and pushed Raymond out of his sight. He said to Mona, “I’ll send you back.” Before Mona could reject, a strong hand grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the police station. “Let

Once Mona and Victor returned to the ward, Millie and Bobby could barely keep their eyes open. Fortunately, Victor had prepared the kids a room beforehand so they could spend the night comfortably. The two put the kids on the bed. When Millie suddenly lost her mother’s warmth, her eyelids twitched and started to feel uncomfortable. Bobby, sensing his sister’s discomfort, hugged the girl into his arms with his eyes still closed.The boy continued to sleep while tapping his sister’s back, offering a hint of comfort. Millie pouted. She snuggled closer to him and somehow placed both her legs on his body before she calmed down. It only took them a few seconds to completely fall asleep. The two adults watched the scene from the side in silence. A warm night lamp was left on, granting a warm and cozy atmosphere. Mona’s heart melted as she watched the kids sleep. Victor’s eyes were glued to Mona, and his thoughts drifted away. He suddenly felt like he had time-traveled b

Mona and the kids stayed in the hospital for the night and were discharged the next day. While packing to leave, Millie threw a tantrum and refused to take her medicines. Ever since Mona adjusted the formula for Millie and decided to use a more conservative approach to the girl’s condition using acupuncture, she no longer needed needles. However, he had to take medicine every day. Miraculously, after some time, Millie’s immunity was boosted, and with it, Mona’s confidence. “Millie, we talked about this. You have to take medicine every day.” Millie shook her head. “I’m fine. I don’t want to take the bitter medicine.” The girl revealed the tiny muscles on her arm, showing off her strength. “We’re not done yet. If we don’t continue, our efforts will go to waste.” “But Mommy, I don’t faint anymore, and I can attend P.E!” The girl tugged her brother’s sleeve. “Bobby, tell Mommy I’m not lying!” Bobby nodded. “Mommy, I’ve noticed Millie is stronger lately and eating a lot

More and more people arrived. Those who came earlier informed the others, so when they arrived, they looked less surprised. Instead, they started to give Mona their blessings. With Susan back from the dead after so many years, they were in no position to ask her what had happened. The gathering somehow proceeded in an odd atmosphere. It had also been a long time since Victor contacted them. Although he looked friendly and welcoming, one could sense his thoughts drifting away. Then, a waiter came in and whispered something to his ears. Victor stood up and told everyone to enjoy themselves while he brought Mona out for a while. After the two left the room, the group started to talk about Susan. “Susan is still so beautiful after so many years. She’s indeed the most beautiful girl of our batch.” “If it were not for her family’s decline back then, she would definitely have been the most successful among us.” “Speaking of which, I just remember a rumor I heard. The gen
