Chapter 544
Outside the door.
After the surgery, these men did not plan to stay any longer. They had already completed what their wife had instructed
them to do.
Edward and Frank said at the same time, “Let’s go. Let us know if there’s anything wrong.”
Trevon nodded and replied faintly, “Okay.” He did not say thank you.
Edward and Frank said exactly the same thing. Hackett couldn’t help but tease, “Your relationship is so good that you share the same thoughts now?”
Frank couldn’t be bothered with Hackett. He looked at Hackett as if he was looking at an idiot before striding out with Edward.
Hackett, who had yet to take a step forward, was not satisfied with Frank’s gaze. He shouted at him, “Damn it, why do look at me like that?”

Seeing they’ve walked a few steps away, Hackett quickly caught up with them. He grabbed Frank’s shoulder and was pushed away by him. Frank raised a hand in the air and waved at Trevon.
Hackett refused to give up. He put his arm around Frank’s shoulder again. “Wait for me. Why are you walking so fast? Are you trying to prove you have long legs?”
This time, Frank did not push Hackett away. He teased, “Even if I walk slower, it can’t hide the fact that you have short legs.”
Hackett glanced at his legs. He didn’t believe he had short legs. He turned to Edward and asked,/Am I short?”
Edward gave a mysterious look at Hackett’s legs and did not comment. He threw the ball back to Hackett. “Let’s see how you define short.”
Hackett was speechless. He was 5.9 feet tall, but he was shorter than Frank by a few inches. He would’ve been as tall as Frank if he wore a pair of thicker shoes.
If 5.9 feet in height would be considered short, then 5.6 feet would definitely be considered crippled. So what did they mean he got short legs?
Hackett had reason to suspect that Frank was being dirty and had a special meaning by saying he had short legs. There was a hidden meaning behind his words.
Frank grinned and walked to his car. He did not intend to continue discussing Hackett’s short legs. The three cars were parked side by side. He had not seen his sister for a few days. Frank was a little worried. He reminded Edward, “Don’t let Rose drive.”
Hackett spoke before Edward could. He was speaking for Edward and helped him gain some good impressions. “Your words are completely unnecessary. My wife has already been officially conferred the title of guardian angel by the entire family. Her duty is to protect your sister, who is also his wife. As long as she’s in the hospital, she has to take care of your sister at all times. If anything happens to her, my wife will be removed from the Landor family.”
Frank chuckled, but he was satisfied. “I’m leaving. Oh, right, Grace Roberts said that the contract at the dock is void. You can arrange your own boat in the future.”
Edward said, “Okay. I’ll bring Rose home tonight.”
Hackett slouched on Edward’s shoulder and leaned against him lazily. “You’ve made a killing, haven’t you? You’ve married a wife and earned a dock.”
Edward took a step back without any warning. He was full of disdain. Hackett almost fell to the ground since he was not paying attention. “Fuck you.”
Amidst Hackett’s cursing, Edward had already gotten into the car, started the engine, and left.
Then, a few days passed.
Because Lena was special to Natalie, the people in the base took special care of her and cared about her recovery. They checked on her several times a day, including Natalie. As her daughter, she brought food from the cafeteria every day to eat
with Lena.
Occasionally, she would bring her son here to visit Lena and eat with her.
Lena had been well taken care of by Natalie, and her recovery was going great. She was sitting on the bed and eating at the moment. Natalie brought some oatmeal for her. Trevon did not want Natalie to go out and buy oatmeal every day. This rich man simply decided to hire a chef who specialized in making breakfast. Every day, he cooked oatmeal for Lena around the
same time.
“Lena, don’t eat too much. You should eat a little each time and increase the number of meals throughout the day. You can eat when you’re hungry later.”
Lena did not know that Trevon had hired someone to cook oatmeal for her. She thought that Natalie had bought it from outside. If she had multiple meals a day, she believed it would be too troublesome for her child. “It’s fine. I don’t have much appetite now. I’ll be full after eating this.”
Natalie stopped her. “You can’t do that. Your stomach needs to be nourished. Let’s take it slow. We are not in a hurry. You can’t eat too much. Don’t be afraid of troubling me. Your son-in-law hired someone to cook oatmeal for has been spent. You can’t let him not work after getting paid.”

money
Lena said “He is being too much. Natalie, I have already recovered a lot. Don’t sleep here anymore at night.” Natalie still had three children at home. Ever since the surgery, she had been staying with Lena.
Trevon had been playing the role of a nanny at home. He was sleeping alone with the three children.
“Don’t even think about it. I’ll go home when you’re discharged. If I am going home, I’ll go back with you. Don’t even think about asking me to leave.” How could she leave Lena alone in the hospital? To Lena, Natalie was her only family in this
world.
As for Natalie, she was Lena’s daughter and had to do her duty. The children at home were still young and there were many people taking care of them. Lena only had her.
Seeing her being stubborn, Lena knew that once Natalie was like this, there was no way to change it. So she decided to let it stay this way. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
During lunch break, Sherri brought Rose to the ward. When she pushed open the door, she saw Natalie wiping Lena’s hands with a towel. The scene was very warm and touching. They almost didn’t want to disturb them.
“Lena, are you feeling better?” Sherri knew that Lena could not eat fruits or hard food. Lena was quite particular about food, so she could only buy flowers.
