Chapter 349
Xenia was holding her bag. As soon as she saw Coralie coming out of Harvey's office, she immediately
rushed over and said, "Coralie, what are you doing here?"
When she approached, she saw the redness in Coralie's eyes. She thought something happened and
pulled her back into Harvey's office as she asked, "Were you hiding something from her again?"
Previously when Skylar's leg was injured, Harvey had not told Coralie about it.
Xenia thought the same thing happened again this time.
"No, no," Coralie said quickly when she saw Xenia scolding Harvey for her.
"Then why did you cry?"
Xenia saw that Coralie's eyes were swollen. It was obvious that she had just cried.
"It's precisely because she knew about Skylar's condition and she was worried."
Harvey explained from the side.
"Hmm? What happened to Skylar?"
It was impossible for Harvey to tell Xenia about Skylar, so Xenia naturally wouldn't know about it.
However, when she heard Harvey's words, she was also curious.
"It's nothing. It's just a surgery for his leg injury."
Coralie knew that Skylar certainly didn't want too many people to know about his injuries.
"Oh..." Xenia sensed that Coralie didn't want to talk about it so she immediately took Coralie's arm and
said, "I asked Harvey to have a meal with me. Since you are here. Why don't we go together?"
"There's no need for that. You both should go."
Coralie was feeling depressed now and had no appetite at all.
However, Xenia forced her along, "Alas, you'll have to eat for lunch anyways. We haven't seen each
other for so long. You should come with us."
Xenia had been trying to signal Harvey with her eyes, asking Harvey to say something as well.
"Let's go together."
Harvey was unable to withstand Xenia's glare so he spoke.
"Okay then, I'll be disturbing you both then."
Coralie knew that she couldn't leave if she didn't go with them today, so she agreed.
The restaurant, which was located near Harvey's hospital, was a Chinese restaurant.
Xenia and Coralie both loved eating spicy food.
Xenia ordered all the dishes. Harvey, who was listening from the side, did not have any objections to
them.
When Xenia finished ordering the dishes, she then said to the waiter, "And a bottle of Coke, please."
Coralie didn't know who the Coke was for at first. When the dishes were served, Coralie saw Harvey
take a gulp of Coke first, and only then did she know that Harvey couldn't eat spicy food, but he used
this way to accommodate Xenia's tastes.
Looking at them like this, Coralie asked, "What... what's the relationship between you both now?"
"We're friends."
Xenia answered immediately.
Hearing Xenia's answer, Coralie looked at Harvey, and his face was a little depressed. Coralie then
said, "Why are you both still friends? Dr. Felton, you're quite slow in this."
"No, I was just preparing myself and I haven't found a good opportunity."
Harvey took another sip of coke.
Coralie looked at Xenia and advised, "Xenia, it's obvious that Dr. Felton cannot eat spicy food. For your
sake, he would rather drink coke to fill up his tummy. It's not easy for someone to do this for you."
She really thought Harvey was a good person.
Thinking about it, six or seven years had passed since Skylar brought her over to that hospital.
Harvey had helped her quite a lot during that period of time. Although he was quite busy with his work,
he was still definitely a good man who was very rare.
She had also known Xenia for many years.
She was very familiar with the both of them, and she was willing to tie the strings for them both.
"What he does is only drink coke for me, how would I know what he means?"
The meaning of Xenia's words was very obvious.
It wasn't that Xenia didn't agree to it, but it was because Harvey still hadn't confessed.
Coralie felt that it was near to the last step before they both would get together. She took the coke in
front of her and said, "Forget it, you both should settle it on your own. I hope that when Skylar comes
back, we can receive some good news from you both."
"Okay."
Harvey nodded.
"I knew it."
Xenia pursed her lips and looked at Harvey. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with him taking his
time with that matter.

After the meal, Coralie went to ask around in a few kindergartens and it was not until the time when the
school was over that she arrived at Hendric's kindergarten.
As Coralie arrived, she saw that almost all the parents had left the kindergarten. However, there was a
silver car parked at the gate. She didn't pay attention to it and ran straight to the kindergarten to pick
Hendric up.
When Coralie was picking Hendric up, the kindergarten teacher said, "Just now, there was an old lady
who said that she was Hendric's grandmother and wanted to pick him up. I didn't agree to let him go
with her."
Hearing this, Coralie immediately became nervous.
"Hendric's grandmother was Lillian Ford, and Lilian might not even know about Hendric's existence.
How would she come to pick Hendric up? Was it a human trafficker?"
Coralie held Hendric in her arms and quickly thanked the teacher, "Thank you so much. I will usually be
picking up Hendric in person. If I can't come, my mom will come. No one else will come to pick him up."
"I see."
The teacher also heaved a sigh of relief.
If they lost the child, they certainly couldn't afford to take the responsibility for it.
As soon as Coralie came out of the kindergarten with Hendric in her arms, she saw a woman getting
down from the silver-grey car. The woman was wearing a long, maroon dress and carrying a crocodile-
skin bag as she walked over to Coralie.
"Auntie... Ford."
The person who got out of the car was Lillian Ford, Hendric's grandmother, whom the kindergarten
teacher had mentioned just now.
When Lillian saw Coralie, she first complained, "What a lousy kindergarten this is! It's quite strict. They
actually wouldn't let me pick Hendric up!"
"Aunt Ford, kindergartens are generally like this."
Coralie held Hendric tightly in her arms and explained to Lillian.
She didn't expect that Lillian would really come to pick Hendric up. However, judging from Lillian's
actions, Coralie was sure that she was not here just to see Hendric.
Lillian looked at Hendric, who was in Coralie's arms. His nose and eyes were almost exactly the same
as Skylar's when he was a child and Lillian was sure that this child must be her grandson!
"Come on, give your Grandma a hug."
After all, they were two generations apart. The more Lillian looked at him, the more intimate she felt
and she couldn't help but want to hug him.
However, Hendric had never seen Lillian before. He then quickly hid in Coralie's arms and said, "I don't
know you!"
Hearing the child's words, Lillian still said with patience, "I am your grandmother, your father's mother.
You should come with me and I will buy you good food and beautiful clothes. I will buy you whatever
you want."
"I don't want anything. I just want Mom."
Hendric held Coralie's neck and did not want to let go of her. There was some hostility in his eyes when
he looked at Lillian.
Looking at her own grandson's attitude towards herself, Lillian's good temper was suppressed as she
angrily said to Coralie, "Coralie, tell him quickly that I am his grandmother."
"Aunt Ford, it's the first time for him to meet you. It's inevitable that..."
"What is this!" Hearing Coralie's words, Lillian thought that Coralie didn't want Hendric to acknowledge
that she was his grandmother. "I know you're doing this on purpose. You know that my son is half
paralyzed now and no other women can bear my son a child. You're trying to hide the only grandson of
the Holland family and threaten us, aren't you?"
