Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Justin acted just like an adult when he instructed Camille to go back and take care of Gwendolyn. He told her how often she was supposed to take Gwendolyn's temperature and what medication to give Gwendolyn.
Meanwhile, Julian was typing out a text for Patrick on his phone. Although he was only five, he had already learned all the words.
Just like Justin, he was highly intelligent. Ever since they were around two, they had already started learning all the words.
Julian texted: Mr. Handsome, this is Juliette. Help! The password is 520911. Follow the address given.
After sending the text, Julian switched off his phone. After all, phones weren't allowed at school.
Juliette pouted. “Julian, do you think he'll show up?”
Hopefully, Mr. Handsome will take good care of Gwen! Since he looks so much like my brothers, he could be our daddy!
Julian patted her head and said, “You have to trust me.”
Any person who has a conscience would surely show up after reading the text.
Julian was testing Patrick to see if he was worthy of being their father. He was hoping that Patrick was indeed a righteous man.
Justin walked toward his teacher after telling Camille what to do.
Julian then ran toward Camille and cast a charming smile. “Ms. Ziegler, you should just take the day off if you see a car parked at the entrance when you get back. After school, please come and fetch us.”
Camille shook her head in dismissal because she was worried about Gwendolyn. “I have to check on Gwen. Justin told me she's having a fever.”
How could I take a day off at a time like this?
“Don't worry, Ms. Ziegler. Someone will take care of her. Weren't you hoping that she could find herself a boyfriend?”
As soon as Camille heard that, her eyes widened in bewilderment. “Gwen has a boyfriend?”
That's good, then! I should give her some privacy. Besides, she's not feeling well at the moment, and she's definitely yearning for her boyfriend's love and care.
Julian nodded in response. He then ran toward Justin and Juliette and followed their teacher into the school.
Meanwhile, Patrick was sitting in his car, looking through his emails on his phone. Suddenly, he received a text message. He tapped on the notification bar, and the message read: Mr. Handsome, this is Juliette. Help! The password is 520911. Follow the address given.
He frowned slightly upon seeing that. Juliette?
At first, he was still in a daze. As soon as he noticed the word “Mr. Handsome,” he instructed his chauffeur coldly, “Go to Snowy Lane now. Drive faster.”
The chauffeur did as he was told and turned the car around before picking up the speed.
Seated in the front, Liam, the assistant, turned to the back and asked, “Mr. Lowen, you have a meeting at half-past nine. Do you want me to call it off?”
At that point, Patrick only had Juliette in his mind and thought that the little girl was in trouble. Hence, he responded flatly, “Call it off.”
“Yes, Mr. Lowen,” Liam answered.
After half an hour, the car arrived at 150 Snowy Lane. Patrick got out of the car and walked toward the entrance of an old house with a small courtyard.
He threw a glance at the door and entered the password before walking in.
“Juliette... Juliette...”
As he was walking in, he noticed the courtyard was beautifully maintained. Besides, the plants in the flower bed were growing very well. I bet this place is full of flowers during springtime.
Upon making his way into the building, he saw a minimalistic living room with a coffee table, a couch, and a tiny television.
In the living room, the floor was scattered with toys. Needless to say, it was obvious that the house was occupied by a family with children.
“Juliette...” Patrick called out once more.
Gwendolyn was in a daze because of the fever. She coughed a few times, and Patrick heard her. He hurried upstairs and managed to find the room she was in.
As he was pushing the door open while walking in, he called out, “Juliette?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
To his surprise, he saw a woman in bed with her face flushed.
