hapter 42 Sharing A Strawberry
Ezra wanted to say something to persuade Hazel to stay, but she simply walked away.
Gabriel opened a gap and Cwatched her receding figure without turning back, his face growing increasingly solemn.
Ezra returned to the ward and saw Gabriel dozing off on the couch. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the boss hadn’t heard those words.
When Hazel arrived at the hospital downstairs, the driver was already waiting by the roadside.
She got on the car and thought about what happened today.
The last time she had John pick up that client, it was Dylan’s father, who had pleaded with ZN Laboratory to help his recently found son.
Just as she happened to be in Seattle, she went to the hospital to take a look.
Dylan’s health was not very good during college. He worked part–time all year round and sent the money he earned back to his parents, except for the tuition fees. He had a poor diet and was thin and pale.
Even so, he still remained the aloof campus heartthrob of the University of Washington.
That face was indeed handsome and compelling.
Dylan’s father, after finally finding his biological son, had another incident, causing him to have half of his hair turn white and appear exhausted.
Since she agreed to it, it was certain that she would save the person.
Hazel went home and spent a long time playing with her daughter before going to pick up Jaxon and Joshua when the time came.
Little did I know, as soon as I got off the car, I saw Gabriel.
This time, he didn’t have Gianna by his side. He stood alone by the car, watching the children coming out of school one by one.
Jaxon and Joshua were wearing the clothes customized by Hazel, brightly colored and lively, happily running towards Leila..
“Sister!”
Leila, holding three candied haws in her hand, looked up when she heard a voice and waved the candied haws at Jaxon and Joshua.
‘Here, brother, eat.”
Jaxon and Joshua each received a string of candied hawthorns.
The little one still had a bunch in her hand, as she had purposely waited for her two brothers to finish school and eat together.
While the three little ones were happily eating, they heard Gabriel’s icy words of accusation, “Are you feeding the children this junk food?”
Hazel was peeling the candy wrapper for Leila.
Upon hearing the man’s words, her face suddenly turned cold. She lifted her gaze to Gabriel, her
es silent and still like dead water.

Jakon and Joshua held the candy apples in their hands, neither biting nor not biting, hesitantly looking at their mother.
Hazel lowered her gaze, with tenderness flowing in her eyes.
She rubbed their heads and said, “It’s okay, eat less, we’ll brush our teeth when we get back.”
Leila completely ignored Gabriel’s words.
She was focused and serious, carefully took a bite of the strawberry candied hawthorn in her hand, and her eyes lit up.
“Brother, it was so sweet!”
She handed the strawberry tip of the candied hawthorn to Jaxon, gesturing for him to take a bite. and try it out, with a lively and animated expression on her face.
After Jaxon took a small bite, she handed it to Joshua to taste.
The latter bit her without waiting for her to speak.

Joshua’s eyes sparkled
A strawberry was quickly shared by three children. Jaxon and Joshua also shared their fruit candied haws with Leila, and she happily took a bite.
When Leila handed the second strawberry to Hazel, Gabriel was about to speak.
He looked at the woman’s rosy thin lips, gently touching the strawberry syrup on the outside, and took a small bite with his white teeth. Suddenly, a scene from a certain time appeared in his mind, and his Adam’s apple rolled.
Gabriel felt his throat was a little dry and a little thirsty.
He turned his face away.
Not going to see the interaction between Hazel and her daughter.

Hazel took a small bite and let Leila eat by herself.
These fruit candied haws were custom–made by the chef at home, using the best ingredients for the fruits and syrup.
In order to cater to the children’s taste, each skewer had only three fruits on top, wrapped in a thin layer of syrup. When bitten, it made a crisp sound and tasted neither too sweet nok top greasy.
It’s not junk food, as Gabriel claimed.
Hazel called her two sons to get in the car, without noticing that the little girl Leila went to tug at Gabriel’s pants.
The man had just crouched down when his thin lips touched a layer of sweet stickiness. His black pupils

It was the candy skewer that she had just taken a small bite of.

Mom and my brother both tried sugar–coated haws.
Just reluctantly, let’s also give this uncle a taste.
Leila: “Bite.”
She opened her mouth wide to demonstrate to him.

The sweet syrup mixed with the fragrance of strawberries entered Gabriel’s nostrils, and he opened his mouth to bite into the candied hawthorn.
He didn’t need to have any extra actions.
Leila pulled the skewer of the sugar–coated hawthorn to the side.
She turned around and secretly glanced at Hazel.
Mom didn’t notice, so she pouted at Gabriel and said sternly, “You, don’t bully Mom.”
Gabriel: “…”
She held the remaining strawberry candied hawthorn on a stick, and bounced back to Hazel, extending her hand, waiting for her to lift her onto the car. Hazel was slightly surprised when she

She lowered her head and found that there was only one strawberry candied hawthorn left in her daughter’s hand.

Gabriel did not like to eat sweets.
Especially something as sweet and sticky as sugar–coated haws.
But at this very moment!
However, he felt that occasionally tasting sweets was also good. The bitter taste that surged from his mouth to the tip of his tongue in the hospital disappeared completely with the collision of the strawberry candied hawthorn, and there was even a hint of sweetness that was difficult to perceive.
But when I think about Dylan still lying in the next ward, when I think about that
Gabriel’s face grew cold again.
The three children got on the car.
Hazel only had time to turn around and talk to Gabriel.
To avoid the child hearing anything, she walked to a nearby tree and waited for him.
Hazel said sternly, ‘During this period, the child stayed with me.”
Gabriel refused without hesitation.
He stared at her deeply for a long time before continuing, “I enrolled them in calligraphy and chess classes. Every day after school, there would be teachers coming to our house to teach them, and there would also be other courses arranged on weekends.”
Hazel reminded him, “They were only six years old.”

Chapter 42 Sharing & Strawberry
When Gabriel was six years old, his calligraphy had already gained some fame! He did not directly say this to Hazel.
Seeing him silent, she didn’t beat around the bush with Gabriel and directly expressed her demands.
“You could bring them back, but you had to clean up the pests in your house first.” Gabriel immediately understood her meaning: “Gianna, she…”
“Jaxon and Joshua were my children. As a mother, I didn’t want to see them unconscious from poisoning again, is that wrong?”
Her eyes were slightly moist, and her heart felt sour.
Just thinking about those few days they spent lying in ZN Laboratory, their bodies couldn’t help. but tremble, and a wave of fear lingered in their hearts.
Hazel turned away and looked up, preventing the tears from falling.
After adjusting her emotions, she turned around to continue looking at him. Her eyes were filled with determination, and every word she spoke hit his soul.
“Gabriel, I told you.”
“I would not let the child live with a murderer.”
“Never, ever, will!”
