Chapter 306 She Was Sick
“Mom, sister!”
Jaxon and Joshua are most looking forward to Friday evening after school.
Mom and sister would always wait for them at the school gate.
“Brother-
Leila skipped happily and ran towards the two of them.

Jaxon quickly caught her, as he was accustomed to sprinting with his sister as always in the past, and with prior preparation, he perfectly caught Leila as she ran towards him.
During this period, both he and Joshua grew taller, making Leila appear even smaller.
Leila looked up at him and said with a smile, “Brother, I came to pick you up after school~”
She held her brother’s hand and led them towards the car by the roadside.
Lucia leaned against the car door, watching the scene of the three siblings approaching. Her curly hair blew in the wind, exuding charm and allure, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She nudged Hazel’s arm with her elbow and jokingly blinked, “Come on, bestie, you already have three babies. Can’t you give me Leila?”
Hazel gave her a look directly, and the latter sighed and shook her head.
Ah…
Didn’t the country propose having children?
She wanted it.
But the sisters disagreed on what to do.
They came over from the Civil Affairs Bureau after submitting the application, just in time to meet Jaxon and Joshua after school.
Johnson honked the horn, reminding them to get on the car quickly.
When the car drove into the “Hidden Food” restaurant, it was mealtime.
Hazel had already asked the restaurant manager to close the shop early, not wanting anyone else to see Lucia and spread any negative news that could become a trending topic.
Just as
she got
off the car
with her two sons, she saw Alfred walking towards her, accompanied by Kirsten wearing a white dress.
“Alfred, who is the owner of this restaurant? Why did they close so early?”
Kirsten’s voice was soft as she spoke, with a lingering sweetness in the tone of each sentence. When she turned her head to look at Alfred, it was the most beautiful profile of her face.
But the man’s gaze, at this moment, was fixed on Lucia getting off the car.
Alfred’s eyes lit up with uncontrollable excitement as he hurriedly walked over and said, “Lucia, you’re back?”
Lucia, who had just carried Leila out of the car, heard a noise coming from behind and a hint of disdain crossed her eyes. She began to find the man’s voice quite annoying.
Kirsten followed closely behind and, seeing the child in Lucia’s arms, exclaimed in surprise, “Lucia, is your daughter already this big? She doesn’t look anything like Alfred at all.”
Hazel, Lucia, and Leila rolled their eyes simultaneously, with perfect synchronization.
Jaxon and Joshua looked at the familiar Alfred in front of them, thinking about his relationship with their father. After exchanging a glance, they silently chose not to speak.
Mom, sister, and godmother looked like they disliked him.
They had better keep silent now.
Hazel gave her daughter a suggestive look, and Leila immediately flashed a bright smile, rubbing her hands together in preparation for her performance.

Kirsten only focused on Alfred’s situation while abroad, knowing all about his and Lucia’s marriage registration, and even having thoughts of killing her.
But when she found out that they had divorced just two days after getting married, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. It turned out that in Alfred’s mind, living with someone he didn’t love was unbearable torture.
She knew better than anyone else that Alfred was a born hedonist.
Kirsten waited for Lucia to mock her as she had done in the past, so that she could cry in front of Alfred and once again experience the pain of being ignored by him.
I didn’t hear her speak, but instead I heard the little girl say to her, “Why should I be like your Alfred?”
Leila thought to herself: If she were like Alfred, would her cheap dad just recycle him directly?
The woman in front of her suddenly froze, turned her head and glanced at Alfred, only to find that his gaze seemed to be glued to Lucia. The jealousy in her heart kept fermenting.
“Lucia, why aren’t you talking to me? Are you still holding a grudge about what happened back then? I wanted to explain, but I was severely injured and fell into a coma. Later, I was sent abroad for treatment and someone took control of me there.”
Leila curiously looked at her and said, “Auntie, when you speak, your shoulders keep shaking. Do you have an illness?”
She turned her head and looked at Alfred, and said very seriously, “Uncle, she is sick, please take her to see a doctor, Uncle.”
Kirsten: “…” She always felt like the child was silently insulting her.
Lucia’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her bright and flamboyant appearance made her look even more glamorous.
She sarcastically said, “Yeah, hurry up and take it to the hospital to have its brain checked. It’s as if even someone who has been dead for four years can come back to life. If you didn’t know, you would think it was intentionally designed.”
Walking up to Alfred, Kirsten tugged at his sleeve and said with a quivering lip, “Alfred, Lucia is still blaming me after all. But I truly didn’t
mean to.”
“I never expected you to pin my blame on her and torment her for two years,” she said, her eyes constantly wandering over Lucia, concealing a contempt for her rival.
Hazel used to be by Gabriel’s side, and she had seen many women like Kirsten. Her gaze fixed on the man and woman standing close together, and she sighed at how similar their fates were.
For Kirsten, tightly grasping onto the life–saving straw by her side was a habit she had developed since childhood.
She liked Alfred, but she knew she couldn’t control him, so she wanted to leave an indelible mark in his heart, so that every time he thought of her, he would feel heartbroken.
So she found a control group, a little girl who always followed behind Alfred, secretly watching him with her watery eyes, thinking that no one I could tell that sh
liked him.
She used a staged death to make Lucia a stepping stone for her own advancement.
As it turned out, she not only did it, but also very successfully.
If it hadn’t been for her foolish sister revealing her whereabouts, she should have had a chance encounter with Alfred in a foreign land, igniting a passionate flame. From then on, she would have become the first woman to occupy his heart.
It’s all Elizabeth’s fault! She actually dared to cheat on her man!
Kirsten lowered her head, pretending to look guilty and sad, while Alfred, standing beside her, only snapped out of it when he heard Lucia’s voice and did not distance himself from Kirsten.
“It was none of your business.”
Alfred explained her Leila’s identity, “She was Gabriel’s daughter, not mine.”
When others heard these words, it was him proving his innocence to the woman he liked.
But little did anyone know that the next thing he said was to ask Lucia to go back with him for dinner, as if the fact that they were divorced was just a joke.
“Lucia, since you have returned to your home country, it’s perfect timing. Come with me to our ancestral home this weekend and have a meal. Grandpa and Grandma miss you a lot and insist that I bring you back for a meal.”

Hazel noticed the way he couldn’t take his eyes off Lucia, and a bold speculation popped into his mind.
Did this man fall in love with Lucia?
If it was true, then the stakes of this scene would be increased without raising the price.
Leila raised her chin and snorted, “Uncle, why did my mom have dinner with you?”
At the same time, she turned her head and exclaimed to Kirsten, “Auntie, you really seem to care a lot.”
Menu-
“But you don’t have to feel inferior, even though you didn’t look as good as my godmother and didn’t dress as beautifully as my godmother, but you have one thing that is better than my godmother, which is a thick face.”
She stretched out her hand and made a gesture of a super large distance, “It’s so thick.”
Kirsten: “You!”
“Wuwuwu, Auntie, you are so mean, you bully little children.”
As soon as Leila’s cry sounded, Gabriel’s bodyguards who were standing by him immediately rushed out, disregarding her struggles, and directly moved Kirsten aside with a fierce look, warning her not to bully the child.
And at this moment, in the primeval forest of a distant city, a pair of eagle eyes sharply locked onto a hidden shadow not far away.
Under the shocked gaze of the other person, Gabriel’s egg gun in his hand hit his arm, and red smoke immediately appeared on the other person’s body.
The figure on the map became a small dot, and immediately another one disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Gabriel felt a slight itch in his nose. He suppressed the urge to sneeze and crawled forward quickly, hiding in the blind spot of the opponent’s vision. He also extinguished three or four small red dots.
In the camouflage tent on the other side, a man looked at the screen in front of him, his eyes filled with deep admiration. “This kid is good.”
