Theresa said, “We found the person through an agency and we have seen the photo. She looked
decent and she was highly educated …”
The introducer said that this woman had a master’s degree. It was really hard to imagine that she could
do something like this.
That was probably how money made the mare go.
“Is it reliable?” Dolores asked again.
Theresa answered. “It shouldn’t go wrong. The negotiated price is three hundred thousand dollars and
now only twenty thousand dollars has been paid. Only after when the thing goes smoothly, the balance
will be paid. Moreover, she doesn’t know any information about me and Armand at all, so it should be
able to avoid a lot of trouble in the future.”
They had found a professional agency and they would identify it after the child was born and make sure
it was their child before paying the balance. There was no fear of the child being swapped or replaced
with another.
Dolores nodded, “Anyway, you guys have to be cautious.”
“Um …”
Knock, knock…
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Theresa stopped talking while Dolores said, “Come in.”
Oscar Adams pushed the door open but he didn’t walk in and just stood there.
As he saw Theresa was in the room. he smiled and said, “What are you guys whispering in the room?”
Dolores smiled and said, “We’re just chatting. Has uncle seen the baby yet?”
He said, “Yes, the baby looks like you.”
The baby was still young and no one could tell who it looked like. She said with a smile, “Uncle is good
at making me happy.”
“Lola, I’m ready to go back to City C …”
“In such a hurry?” she wanted to keep him for a few days, after all, he had come here.
“I also want to play here for a few more days, but someone who is surnamed Forbis called me to go
back.” He smiled, “He also wanted to follow me when I came, but only one of us could leave as we’ve
been busy lately, so we play a rock-paper-scissors game to make a decision. I won, so I came first and
it would be his turn when I return.”
Theresa couldn’t help but laugh, “How old are you guys? Are you childish as you still play this game?”
He gave her a look, “You don’t know, this is what men do for fun. You wouldn’t understand.”
Theresa said again, “It’s for immature men. Mature men won’t play this kind of game.”
“Theresa, I noticed that you’ve lost weight.” Suddenly the topic changed and his eyes fixed on her, then
looked at Dolores. Although Dolores had gone through major surgery, she had recovered well and her
face looked rosy while Theresa looked sick.
She laughed, “I’m always thin …”
“Armand didn’t take good care of you, right?” he continued to say, “In my eyes, you’re the same as
Lola. If you’re bullied, make sure you tell me and I’ll stick up for you, got it?”
“Yes,” She readily agreed as she knew that he really cared about her.
Oscar rarely came here, so Dolores and Matthew had to entertain him. Since the conditions in the
hospital were limited, they went outside to have dinner.
Dolores didn’t go as she stayed in hospital and was looked after by Jessica.
They went as a group.
After dinner, they went home separately and Matthew arranged a hotel for Oscar.
When Armand and Theresa returned home, Elizabeth was sitting in the living room and watching the
television while Dora was washing the fruit and peeling it aside. As she saw them come in, she
immediately stood up, “Brother and sister are back.”
Dora had no idea how to call them in the past few days, so Elizabeth suggested, “You call me
grandma, call them brother and sister.”
Thus she called them in that way.
Elizabeth preferred it and they didn’t have any objections as there was nothing wrong with the address
since she was young.
Theresa gave her a response.
“Has sister eaten yet? Do you want me to prepare some food?” she smiled and asked politely.
Theresa said, “No need, we’ve eaten outside.”
Elizabeth beckoned, “Come and sit down.”
Theresa walked over and Armand walked before her and asked, “What happened, grandma?”
“Nothing, can’t you guys watch TV with me for a while?” she felt uncomfortable as she thought Armand
only cared about Theresa since they had made up this time and had neglected her.
Obviously, her tone was unpleasant. Theresa felt tired but still had to pretend with a smile, “Are you
unhappy? Is it because you feel that we’ve spent less time with you?”
Elizabeth held her hands, “You’re the most understanding one who knows my mind well.”
She lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
“Dora, serve the soup to your sister,” she ordered.
Dora got up and went to the kitchen to get the soup while Theresa trembled slightly when she heard it.
She lifted her eyes, “Can I not drink it?”
“No,” she was particularly resolute.
Dora walked over with a bowl of soup.
“Bring it to the room,” Armand said.
He knew Theresa reject it. That was why he asked Dora to carry it to the room so that she could pour it
out if she didn’t want to drink.
Elizabeth felt unhappy and stared at him, “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything, she has just eaten, I’m afraid she won’t be able to drink it. She would drink it
later after she has digested.”
“She has to drink it while it’s hot, otherwise it would turn cold.” Elizabeth didn’t listen to Armand and told
Dora to serve her the soup.
Theresa couldn’t refuse but to take it.
Before she even drank it, she already wanted to vomit.
When she first started to drink it, she only felt the heavy fishy smell. Until once she saw Elizabeth bring
back a bag with something extremely fishy inside and asked Dora to clean up, she asked what it was.
Then she told her it was a herbal medicine that was used as a tonic.
However, when she took a picture of it and looked it up online, it turned out to be …
