Hazel worried that if she put her down, the child would wake up again, she kept holding her daughter. Ethan also didn’t sleep all night, standing by their side and watching.
In the early hours of the morning. Hazel couldn’t tell if it was her imagination, but she always felt a faint gaze from outside the ward, constantly peering in.
But once Leila settled down in his arms, she didn’t dare to move a muscle.
The hospital corridor was silent and long.

Half of Gabriel’s face was hidden in the darkness, and through the loosely closed hospital room door, he caught a glimpse of a heartwarming scene inside.
In the depths of the eyes, guilt poured out in an instant.
He ultimately failed to protect his daughter.
It was still too slow.
Gabriel had never had such a strong desire for power before, but at this moment, he urgently wanted to obtain more elevated authority.

Stay in the hospital for one more day for observation, and if there are no issues, you can be discharged directly.
Hazel learned from the security guard at the entrance that Gabriel had come in the early hours of the morning and stayed in the hallway alone until dawn broke before leaving.
“Leila, the fragrant milk powder has arrived!”
When Ethan saw Leila wake up, he treated her like he was holding an extremely precious and fragile treasure, and he couldn’t feel at ease until he held the child in his arms.
Leila, nestled in Ethan’s arms, took the bottle and thanked him before gulping it down.
Halfway through drinking, she didn’t forget to give Ethan a thumbs up in praise.
“My uncle is awesome!”
“Leila and her uncle were the best in the world~”
Hazel sat on the sofa beside, watching Ethan being happily entertained by the children, feeling a slight worry in her heart.
Leila seemed to rely on her uncle, but in reality, it was Ethan who relied on Leila more.
Los Angeles was undoubtedly a hellish existence for Ethan.
But for the sake of Leila, who was dear to his heart, he set foot on this land once again.
As early as last night, Johnson told her about the Hunter family while they were in the car returning from the Stevens family to the hospital. In the decision to destroy the Stevens family’s harbor cargo, Ethan suggested involving the Hunter family. The reason was to leverage the Hunter

Hazel remembered back then… The old man from the Hunter family explicitly stated that as long as Ethan appeared in Los Angeles again, his family would definitely take care of his legal matters!
Seeing the sourness and melancholy that couldn’t be concealed on Ethan’s face, she became somewhat concerned about Ethan’s state.

Leila held the milk bottle in her hands, and her round eyes darted around.

She lay in her uncle’s arms, smiling at Hazel. After finishing the bottle, she shook it and on her fair and pink face, there were creases from the clothes she had slept in Hazel’s embrace.
“Mom, look, it’s all gone!”
“Our Leila was amazing.”
Leila nodded in agreement upon hearing her mother’s praise.
She smiled and said, “Leila was amazing!”
Leila jumped into Hazel’s arms as she came down from Ethan’s embrace.
The scent of milk powder wafted around Hazel, filling the air. The child’s bright smile was filled with love and warmth, making it impossible for anyone to resist holding her in their arms and doting on her.

Ethan, who witnessed this scene, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
She returned to Ethan’s side, tiptoeing, and took his hand, walking towards the sickbed. She lowered her voice and said, “Uncle, we have to be very quiet, we can’t wake up Mom.”
Leila patted the blanket on the sickbed, indicating for Ethan to lie down.
Thinking that Ethan was just playing house with him, the child lay down on the hospital bed without much thought.
And then I saw…
Seeing Leila using both hands and feet, she climbed up swiftly and picked up her pink fox fur blanket, covering him with it. She even used the fox’s ears to cover his eyes.
Leila repeated the same process used on her mother on Ethan.

Ethan, whose palm was not even one–third the size of an adult’s hand, imitated the appearance of a grown–up and gently patted his shoulder.

Don’t worry! With Leila here, we were definitely able to cure her uncle, who was both beautiful and wealthy!
Leila’s body was infused with the scent of just–drunk milk powder, somewhat resembling a hypnotic aroma.

At the entrance of the ward, Johnson saw the scene inside and put down his hand that was about to knock on the door. He quietly waited outside the door for Hazel to come out.
I caught a glimpse of a figure in the corridor, and Hazel quietly opened the door to the ward. Suddenly, her eyes turned cold, and her whole demeanor became fierce.
She said to Johnson, “Is everything ready?”
The man nodded and handed her a document.

In the first half of life, I was indulged and pampered, while in the second half, I was cautious and strategic.
And here, all her secrets were hidden.
