Chapter 105
At the long-lost Athana Airport.
The plane glided slowly, landing smoothly at the airport.
At the same time, a plane heading to Sapphire City in Azureland had just taken off
Natalie Foster and Sherri Landor were wearing sunglasses and covered the children tightly with blankets.
The car arranged by Joseph Turner slowly stopped at the familiar entrance of a residential area, waiting for the security system to sense and open the gate. Natalie, sitting in the back seat, could not believe it. "Joseph, did you buy an apartment in Evergreen Gardens?"
Joseph turned his head from the front passenger seat. "Yeah, this neighborhood is the closest to your hospital and has the best environment. Besides, Edward's place is also around here, so it's convenient for Sherri to come over."
Sherri spoke first, Thank you, Joseph." It was a heartfelt thank you Joseph was always thoughtful and left no room for complaint.
"No need to thank me so much. We're family. Natalie is my sister, and you are too unless you don't see me as your brother."
Sherri quickly said. "Of course I do. I have always treated you as my real brother."
"That's good. Forget about saying thanks so often. We're family, no need to be so polite and distant."
"Deal"
Joseph had prepared a spacious suite for Natalie. There was a children's room with two baby cribs, two master bedrooms. and two guest rooms. After arranging everything, he did not stay for long and returned to Sapphire City that afternoon.
These past
few days, he had been busy taking care of things for Natalie, and he had piled up a lot of work.
Upon boarding the plane, he sent Natalie a message. [Natalie, Ive left a few bodyguards for you. Don't worry, they won't disturb you. You can pretend they don't exist. I just want you to feel safe.] After receiving the message. Natalie felt moved quite often since being found by the Turner family. Surprises kept coming
Meanwhile, in Sapphire City in the afternoon
Trevon Wilson took off his heavy down jacket and changed into casual clothes. He stood in the consultation room with a serious expression and asked, “How is it?"
The doctor replied, "Mr. Wilson. Your leg can be considered fully healed, but one thing to remember is to avoid secondary injuries. The consequences would be even more severe than before" Rachel Wilson heaved a huge sigh of relief. He had finally recovered. It had been more than 20 years.
After a brief silence, Trevon suddenly spoke up, "What happened to the guards at the training base over there? They're gone?"
His plan for coming to Sapphire City this time was to conduct another night reconnaissance.
Looking out the window of this clinic, he could see the perimeter of the base. It used to be heavily guarded, but now it looked empty.
The doctor smiled. “Oh, you mean that? They withdrew last night. We don't know the specific reason, maybe someone from the Turner family works there. Nothing strange about it. The Turner family always travels with a team of bodyguards. It's hard for anyone to get close. Even during our time in Athana for so long, we never saw the head of the Turner family."
Trevon's gaze turned cold. They withdrew, so why did they use such a large capital? Who were they protecting, and what were they guarding against?
The Turner family was truly a mystery. Frank Roberts' thorough investigations had always hit a wall, and even the chefs at Grand Manor's mouths remained sealed.
Trevon recalled Frank's words. "The Turner family's wealth and potential influence may surpass ours or even be above ours." The Turner family was tough for Frank to deal with as well, making him curse in frustration.
Over the past two years, the people Frank sent for deep investigations and surveillance were all returned crippled, a warning as well as a declaration
Not only Trevon but even Caleb and Rachel Wilson were a little curious about the existence of the Turner family.
Seeing their reaction, the doctor laughed. "It's normal that you have not seen them. The Turner family is like a god in Azureland and Sapphire City. They spend more than 20 million dollars on charity every year and they are very low-key. They never appear in public. Few people in Sapphire City have seen the head of the family."
Trevon fell into deep thought and remained silent. With a serious face, he turned and left. Jun happened to return from outside. "Is there any way to get in?" "Trevon asked.
ide. "Is there am
Jum panted and replied, "Well, I managed to get in. The guards at the base are tight-lipped and know nothing about Mrs. Wilson's situation. They only mentioned that the new batch of trainees had already left" After thinking for a moment, Jim thought of something "Mr. Wilson Before our plane took off, I saw a private plane belonging to the Turner family landing at Athana airport. Could it be ..." Trevon's eyes darkened slightly. He pursed his lips and pondered. "Call Mr. Roberts and check if she returned Athana."
"Understood." Jim was unusually excited. Mr. Wilson was finally going to embark on the road to pursue his wife. He had been waiting for so long but still had not seen Mrs. Wilson in person. About ten minutes later. Trevon's phone rang. He picked it up without any hesitation. "Speak."
Frank Roberts sounded displeased on the other end. "Where are your manners? Who is the one having the request?"
Trevon impatiently pinched his brow and politely controlled his emotions. "May I ask if she's in Athana?"
Frank's voice carried a mocking tone. Trevon, look at you now. Just as your plane took off, your ex-wife landed. If you're at Sapphire Hospital, pass a message to Rose and tell her to come back to me." "Im occupied
Frank burst out in a string of curses, but he knew the message would still be relayed, so he did not have to worry.
After hanging up the phone. Trevon looked much better. There was a faint smile on his face and he instructed Jim. "Go tell. Rose that Mr. Roberts wants her to go home. "Okay."
When Trevon entered the consultation room again, the visible tension on his face had softened, even Rachel could feel it.
Rachel understood. "Let's go back this afternoon. We should be able to arrive tonight. If there are no problems afterward, there's no need to come here again."
"Okay, sure" Rarely, Trevon added an extra word. Rachel sighed in her heart.
Not long after, Jim returned. Seeing Trevon coming out of the room again, he said, "Mr. Wilson, ahem... she said not to rush her like she's on her deathbed. If we keep urging her, we might as well go worship her tomb during Memorial Day. If she wants to go back, she will naturally go back
Trevon was filled with satisfied smiles. Yes, he was laughing at Frank Roberts. Rose Roberts was the only one who could give Frank a headache and still could not control her.
Those words were no doubt coming from her.
Just deliver the message, and let her do whatever she wants."
Jim muttered to himself, wondering why he had to make the trip when a simple phone call would have sufficed. It seemed
intentional.
On the 25th floor at Evergreen Gardens.
There was a knock on the door. Natalie was preparing lunch for the children. She called out, "Sherri, go and open the door. Lena and Jenny were out to get some stuff"
"Oh, sure." Since having children, their vigilance had increased, so Sherri looked through the peephole to see who it was
It was Edward. She opened the door and could not help but feel nervous as she called out, "Brother."
Edward glanced at the pair of slippers on the shoe rack, thinking they must belong to Joseph. Sherri hurriedly took out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at Edward's feet. Looking at his cautious younger sister, Edward felt a bit uneasy. Since becoming a mother, Sherri was no longer as carefree as before. She spoke less and was less mischievous. "What did you do wrong again? Are you ready to apologize?"
Sherri's eyes turned red slightly. "No." Since hiding her pregnancy and the identity of the child's father from Edward, she had not hadden anything else from him. If there was anything else, it would be Natalie's husband, and when she thought about it, it seemed like quite a lot. No wonder her brother was angry.
Edward gently ruffled his sister's head affectionately. "Why are you acting so submissive? Stand up, and straighten your back. There's nothing you need to apologize to me for. I have said it before, as long as you don't regret it, it's fine. Til take
care of the aftermath"
Tears fell from her eyes, and she lowered her head. "I understand."
Edward hugged Sherri. "Alright, you're all grown up. Why are you crying? Ruby will laugh at you if she sees you like this." He patiently patted her back.
Natalie finished preparing lunch and brought out the children's meals. When she saw Edward, the exclaimed, "Edward, how did you know we live in this building Edward smiled. "Your brother told me. He asked me to come and see if you need anything, In case you can't take care of
Natalie could not help but laugh. "I'm just a child in their eyes now."
"It's pretty good. I can tell that they truly care about you."
A genuine smile appeared on Natalie's face, emanating a deep sense of happiness.
It was a smile that Edward had never seen before. At this moment, he thought, maybe this is for the best. After all, he could not give her what she wanted.
In the midst of their conversation, the two little ones came out from the children's room, shouting in unison, "Uncle, Daddy Ed!"
Edward slowly crouched down and held one child in each arm. "Do you miss Daddy Ed? Do you miss Uncle?"
"Yes,"
"Well, then give me a kiss. Make it loud so that Mommy can envy us."
A smacking sound, followed by another, echoed throughout the living room. The suffocative feeling in Sherri's heart disappeared along with the children's giggles.
She thought, if she really brought the kid back home, her mother would probably like her too.
Sherri sat down next to her brother, helping the children straighten their clothes. Suddenly, Edward spoke, putting the children down on the ground and taking some building blocks to let them play. "Tell me, what do you think now? When I asked you to put the children under Natalie's name, were you angry?"
Sherri shook her head. She knew that her brother was looking out for her. After all, the Landor family could not afford to lose face.
Edward ruffled her hair once again, showing his concern. "What about now? Do you want to continue leaving the kid here or bring them back to the Landor family?"
She abruptly looked up at her brother and said, "I...”
"If you can't bear to part with Ruby, let's bring her back home for now. When Mom starts to like her, we can explain slowly. Mom isn't a heartless person. She's just tough on the outside but soft on the inside." "I... I haven't made up my mind yet. L...
"In that case, I'll make the decision for you. Let's leave Ruby here for a few days. You can go home and stay for a couple of days. Mom misses you too. Then we'll find a reason to bring the child back." Sherri nodded, agreeing with Edward's approach. Natalie knew that the long-lost siblings had many to chat and discuss, s she stayed in the kitchen and did not come out.
