Alden and George looked at each other. Both of them had solemn expressions.
Even the simple–minded Harold could sense something was off. He scratched the back of his head
and said, “Why do I feel like something was not right with Mommy?”
George pursed his lips and whispered, “Al, do you think Mommy was lying?”
Alden nodded solemnly.
‘I remembered when I was young, Mommy was so haggard when Melody was sick and hospitalized,
but at least her gaze was calm and clear.‘
However, just now, Mommy‘s eyes were bloodshot, making his heart skip a beat.
‘Based on how well I know Mommy, something big might have happened this time.’
He said coldly, “I need to get back to Sea City early.”
‘No matter what, I need to be by Mommy‘s side and tide over the difficulties with her.‘
“Me too.” Harold followed him and said, “I‘ve been having nightmares recently. I dreamt that something
happened to Daddy and Mommy. I‘ll only feel at ease when I’m with them.”
Melody blinked her misty eyes, asked, and said gently, “I‘ll go wherever you all go.”
George looked at his siblings and said immediately, “I’ll get my assistant to buy us plane tickets back to
Sea City.”
“Huh, why do you guys want to go back to Sea City?” Flint was coming downstairs when he overheard
the children wanting to go back to their home country. He said loudly, “Didn‘t we agree to go to the
theme park tomorrow? I have bought the tickets. I even bought a lot of snacks. Don‘t you dare to let my
hard work go in vain.”
Harold looked up and said in a low voice, “Uncle Flint, something happened to Mommy.”
Flint‘s heart skipped a beat.
‘We‘re overseas, and domestic news is generally difficult to spread here. How did they find out about
Addy‘s hospitalization?‘
“Uncle Flint, you know something, don‘t you?” George glared at him and asked sternly.
Flint feigned indifference and said, “Your mother caught the flu and was dizzy. It‘s not a big deal, she‘ll
be discharged from the hospital in two days… Hey, Al, what are you doing?”
Alden headed to the bedroom, took out the laptop, and quickly looked up the domestic news.
Soon, he saw the news about Mdm. Winters fainting and being hospitalized at the airport.
‘According to the timeline, it was less than half an hour before the four of us boarded the plane. At that
time, Mommy had no signs of being sick. Why did she suddenly faint?
‘As soon as we were sent abroad, Mommy was hospitalized. How did that happen?‘
Alden closed his notebook as his expression became even more solemn.
“AI, it‘s really no big deal. In two days, your mother will come over and pick you all up.” Flint followed
after him and went upstairs as he repeatedly advised, “You‘re only four years old. You should just play
around and have fun. Don‘t ruminate on things.”
Alden stood up and said sternly, “Uncle Flint, I will go back to Sea City, regardless of whether you
agree or not.”
George said plainly, “I‘ve already asked my assistant to get us a ticket back to Sea City.”
Harold nodded. “I want to go back and accompany Mommy.”
Melody said softly, “I miss Daddy and Mommy. I want to go home, too.”
Flint massaged the space between his eyebrows as he looked at the four children in front of him.
‘You guys are worried about Addy, huh?
‘I am, too.
‘But I also know that the four of them are her Achilles heels. I must protect them well, so she can deal
with more important matters without any worries.
‘But in these four children‘s opinions, Addy is also their number one priority.‘
