From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 182

Anthea felt a tap on her head that left her dazed. In her previous life as a tech mogul, she'd never been treated like a child nor had anyone ever patted her head like that...

Soon after, they arrived at the airport.

Nanson repeated his earlier advice.

This time, Anthea didn't mind his rambling.

Boarding the plane, Sarah chuckled, "Ann, I never realized before, but you uncle is so considerate and nice, isn't he?"

"Was he not like that with Rebecca?" Anthea responded.

"Not at all," Sarah shook her head.

Rebecca used to look down on Nanson for just being a delivery guy. She wouldn't even spare him a word, often resorting to sarcasm, never treating him with the respect due to an elder.

Affection, after all, is a two-way street. With Rebecca's disdain for Nanson, it was natural for him not to be fond of her.

Thus, Sarah had always thought of Nanson as a very stern man. She never imagined he could be so endearing.

The flight from Cloudcrest to Capital City took about four hours.

So, once the plane was airborne, Anthea put on her sleep mask and decided to catch up on some rest.

She had streamed live until 3 a.m. the previous night and could use the time to recharge.

Just then, a piercing cry of a baby filled the plane.

All the passengers were jolted awake, their gazes turning towards the source of the sound.

A young couple was trying to soothe their kid.

The wife, her face flushed with embarrassment, said, "I'm so sorry everyone, our baby choked while eating. We're so sorry for the disturbance."

At that moment, the baby's crying abruptly stopped.

The husband alarmed, exclaimed, "Sally, look! What's wrong with the baby? Her face is turning blue!"

Sally glanced down, her face draining of color as a tearful voice erupted, "Baby, are you okay?"

The child's complexion was a ghastly shade of blue, lips sealed shut, appearing as if she was on the brink of death.

"Give the child to me," a calm voice cut through the tension.
