If it wasn't for that letter, she would never have returned.
Nevertheless, she still had a lot of rancor within her... Maybe that was why she came back.
"Mommy, are you sure you won't get back together with him?"
"Do you want me to be with him?"
Alastair shook his head and then lowered it, "Not at all, Mommy. I hope that he is a person who can bring you happiness, not a person who will only bring harm to you. I once read a book, and it said that the most important thing in life is to travel freely in the world, to dream, to love one another and be together forever. But Mommy, although Christopher is notorious for his playful acts and he was impeccable to you, his nature is difficult to change. Although Uncle Stainley is a nice and gentle guy, he lacks manliness. Neither of them suit you."
Everleigh was even more astonished when she heard his words. She didn't expect that he could read people so thoroughly.
"Alastair..." "Mommy, you should find someone who likes you with all his heart and soul, not any one of the three of them." It was only during this period of time that he had managed to figure this out.
He had investigated, and no one could accept what happened to his mommy seven years ago. He didn't want the rest of her life to be ruined further.
Hearing his words, she suddenly laughed.
He was so young; how could he have analyzed people so accurately?
"Could it be that his IQ has reached an unparalleled level?"
"What are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong?" Alastair was a little puzzled by her laughter, and he couldn't figure out why.
Everleigh grinned further. She reached out to touch his head and said in a loving tone, "No, I just think that my Alastair has grown up and knows how to help me."
His face reddened because of her words. Although he had heard praises many times, he still felt a little shy in his heart.
"I will remember your opinion. If you have a suitable candidate, you can introduce him to me." She was not just talking about it. If Alastair had such an idea, she was open to it too.
He lowered his eyelids and a look of disappointment flashed across his face. "Mommy, do you want to do it because of us?"
"No, not just for you, but I also want to try as you said," she meant every word she said.
If it was someone else, it could work out if they had a different mindset.
He didn't say anything more. He got out of bed silently and went back to his room.
She still wanted to say something, but the child was no longer interested in listening.
At that moment, in the hospital. When Theodore opened his eyes, he could smell the scent of disinfectant. His eyes were dim.
"You're awake."
He heard the familiar voice and turned his head to look. He saw that Stainley was sitting next to him, and Moses was nowhere to be seen.
"Why are you here?"
"You fainted, and your assistant sent you to the hospital," Stainley explained briefly, and the tone of indifference was obvious.
Theodore sat up straight. He felt like his heart seemed to be a little stuffy. Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and touch his own chest.
When Stainley saw this, his eyes slightly flickered. "The blood supply to your heart was poor because you didn't get enough rest and stayed up late during this period of time. That's why you fainted. Go back and rest well. Don't stay up late. After a period of recuperation, you'll be fine." After saying this, he was ready to leave the ward.
Theodore didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you know about Everleigh and Christopher's gathering today?"
