Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 540

She had considered buying necklaces or bracelets, but the children were still too young. Jewelry around their necks was a safety hazard, as they might grab at it and hurt themselves.

As for bracelets, the toddlers were in their teething phase and might try to chew on them like a teething ring.

After some thought, she decided to get them something simpler.

She had been in a department store and noticed many mothers buying these particular crystal balls, which symbolized peace and health.

What mother didn't wish for her children to be safe and healthy? She knew it was just a sales pitch, but she bought them anyway.

The crystal balls were genuinely beautiful, so she decided they were worth it.

She planned to place them on the nightstand between the children's beds.

She hoped her two little treasures would always be safe and sound.

Land was playing with Liam in the living room. When Liam saw the crystal ball, his big, dark eyes widened. He toddled over on his short legs, plopped down on the play mat, and immediately brought the crystal ball to his mouth to chew on it.

Land started to intervene, but seeing Janina sitting right there, she stopped. "Miss Janina, I'll go start on dinner then."

Janina glanced at Land, looking a bit helpless, and joked, "Land, if you call me that again, I'm docking your pay."

When Land first arrived, Janina had told her to just use their first names. The Holt family wasn't some grand dynasty; they didn't need such formal titles.

Land wrung her hands and smiled. "Alright, I'll… I'll remember."

With that, she turned and headed to the kitchen.

Janina had been enjoying an incredibly peaceful period. With no one from the Aurelius family bothering her, every day felt like spring.

But the good times didn't last long before disaster struck.

That night, both Liam and Joy developed fevers and became very lethargic.
