Chapter 30: Shirley Had Decided to Bring the Children Away With Her
“Mr. Moore has called the ambulance, and he has instructed me to move all the documents to the
hospital in the coming two days.”
“Move them to the hospital?” What the hell was he planning?
Wasn’t he able to move around?
Was there any need to go back to the hospital?
Jordan tried to say something awkwardly with his hands shoved behind him, “Mr. Moore has finally
understood that he needs to go back to the hospital to recuperate and he plans to follow your plan
which you have worked on in the past two days.”
The two children exchanged a glance.
They liked daddy who was behaving properly.
If he was acting that way, their mummy could be rest assured.
Shirley never thought that Bryan would agree to follow her plan…
But…
Her brows were knitted even more intensely as she looked at the two tiny figures. She had decided to
bring the two of them back to America.
“I will leave behind the plan for Mr. Moore, but you need to hire another psychologist. Be sure to tell the
new person to adjust Mr. Moore’s lifestyle according to my instructions. I will also leave behind the
fragrance which was designed for his treatment. Everything besides those are out of the discussion.”
After saying that, she turned away and led the two kids to the car which Jordan was driving.
She opened the car door and the two of them bounced into the car. Then, she boarded last.
Jordan could only smile bitterly.
What kind of sin had Mr. Moore committed? When she was trying to be nice, you didn’t bat an eye;
Now that you wanted to start again, she was no longer interested in your treatment.
He got on the car and began again, “Dr. Thomas…” However, Shirley immediately cut him short,
“Jordan, if you are trying to convince me to assume my position, then I would rather get off this car.”
When Jordan heard that, he couldn’t find anything as a response. He could only shut his mouth.
The car stopped at Spennor Residence, and after Shirley had gotten the two of them off the car, they
scurried into the courtyard in no time.
Shirley headed to the driver’s side and took out two bottles, “These are the medicine used to treat Mr.
Moore. After you use them up, contact the hospital. I will post it back here from overseas.”
Jordan glanced at the two translucent glass bottles in her hands and pushed the door open lightly. He
then got down from his seat.
He didn’t just accept this so-called medicine which supposedly could cure Bryan’s weird condition.
He raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and a grim look appeared on his face, “Dr. Thomas, if what
I am about to say still can’t make you change your mind, then I won’t say anything further.”
Shirley’s eyes darkened, “What do you want to say?”
“I am an orphan, and it was Madame Moore who had sponsored me to complete my tertiary education.
Once when I visited Madame Moore, I happened to chance upon the young master who had just been
brought back. His clothes were torn everywhere and there were countless injuries on his arms. He was
very vigilant, and he had that perpetual cautious look in his eyes all the time. The first time I met him, I
felt that he was really unfortunate. Can you imagine how severe the wounds he used to have?” Jordan
pursed his lips and his eyes seemed to take on a darker shade. He was unusually moody at the
moment.
Shirley was astonished to learn about Bryan’s origin. It turned out that he was not always with the
Moore family since the beginning.
She lowered her head as if deep in thought. When she first met Bryan, he was wearing a long-sleeve
shirt. After six years, despite the fact that it was summer, he always wore long-sleeve shirt for some
reason. Her arms were never exposed.
Was it because he wanted to conceal those injuries?
“He… What happened to him that time? Who hurt him?” She had to admit that Jordan’s words had
aroused her interest in his past.
However, Jordan shook his head, “Only the madam knows the real story. The story about how he used
to wander out there.”
“Then… Are his injuries severe?”
“The skin was sliced in several parts, but it was on his right arm. It looked like the skin from his hands
to his shoulders was gnawed into an unfortunate state by some canine.” Jordan lifted his hand casually
and glanced at his right shoulder.
Then, he leaned to one side and continued, “Dr. Thomas, after Mr. Moore returned to the Moore family,
he never slept for ten whole days. In the end, he fainted in class, but even in that state, he was still very
vigilant towards others. It’s not that he didn’t want to sleep, he just didn’t dare to, as if the moment he
gave himself in to sleep, he would be harmed by someone. Last night was the only night since I first
know Mr. Moore that he had such a great sleep. It felt like he could put down his guard with you by his
side.”
After finishing that sentence, Jordan stopped pestering Shirley.
He got into the driver’s seat and left.
Shirley was rooted to the spot for a long time…
As she recalled their first encounter from six years ago, he was always cautious towards everyone,
everyone except for her.
Shirley let out a few chuckles as tears started to well in her eyes.
Someone had just described his hardship, yet who could understand her pain?
She turned around and headed to the courtyard.
Shirley cooked both lunch and dinner today. The two little ones were behaving very well due to what
had happened today.
After their baths, Shirley went to the bedroom with the two of them. She took out their luggage and
declared, “Jacob, Emma, mummy has booked a flight for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will leave this place
and go to where Mildred is.”
The two of them exchanged a glance when they heard this.
Deep down, they didn’t want to do this.
This was especially true for Emma. She wasn’t as composed as Jacob, hence after realizing what was
happening, her eyes immediately turned red.
“Mummy, are we leaving daddy behind?”
Shirley’s hand seemed to freeze as she looked up, “Emma.”
“Mummy, daddy is not a bad guy. He listens to your words today, so are you really going to leave him
behind? Are you not going to care about him anymore?” Emma walked forward and wrapped her arms
around Shirley’s neck, and her tears continued to fall like broken beads of necklace.
Jacob was just watching Shirley.
Although he appeared to be more mature than his peers, he was still a five-year-old kid.
Other children all had fathers, so deep down he craved for a father figure to love and cherish him, like Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
what he had experienced today.
However, he wouldn’t put this into words, because he knew that his mummy would be upset.
Despite that, Shirley stared at Jacob who was behaving like this and she felt even more anguished.
Jacob’s eyes turned red too.
Ever since he became more mature, Jacob never cried anymore. This was the first in a long time…
Her heart violently shuddered with sadness and an empty feeling.
The two children not only wanted to rely on her, they wanted a father now.
She shoved them into her embrace and said, “Jacob, Emma, after returning to America, mummy will
put aside my work and accompany you guys to kindergarten, playground and anywhere you want to
go.”
Emma leaned against her shoulders and ramped up her crying sound.
Shirley felt a gush of sourness in her nose and with her palms cupping their head, she started to cry
too.
She thought that the kids wouldn’t have any interaction with Bryan, but just after two days she had
returned, they somehow met each other. If Sabina were to learn of the fact that Shirley had given birth
to Bryan’s children, she wouldn’t be able to anticipate what kind of insane stuff Sabina would to do the
children.
No, she couldn’t just turn soft now.
