Margot felt her heart clenched. She hugged Lilac tight as tears brimmed around the corners of her reddening eyes.She said, "Will you feel better and obediently start eating if I call him over?"Lilac nodded and replied, "Yes! I want Daddy."Margot said, "Okay, Mommy will get him to come."She was unwilling to dial Curtis' number, to the point of never wanting to contact him.However, she felt heartbroken when she saw how sickly Lilac was. She was afraid something might happen to Lilac.Added to the fact that Lilac had not been eating for the past two days. She would only grow sicker if this continued.Margot had no choice but to pull out her phone and call Curtis in front of Lilac.Nobody answered the call after a long time. It was Chester who eventually answered.Chester asked respectfully, "How can I help you, Ms. Stone?"Margot said, "I'm looking for Curtis. Is he around?"Chester replied, "Mr. Crosby is away for a business trip. His phone is with me."Margot was bummed

Curtis stiffened slightly, but he still didn't look at Margot.He asked in a low voice, "Do I look like I'm sick?"Curtis felt somewhat guilty as he replied to Margot. As such, he had never looked her in the eye since the beginning.Margot thought he didn't look like he was sick either. He was only being polite to others. Why would she think he was sick?At that moment, Royce walked in with the heated food. He then handed the food over to Curtis. Curtis took it and carried Lilac over to sit on the nearby couch to feed her.Lilac no longer threw a tantrum or refused the food. She obediently ate what was being fed to her. After she was done eating, she hugged Curtis tight around the neck and refused to let him go.She kept muttering, "Can you not leave me alone, Daddy? Don't let me look for you. You said you'll always stay here with me. I won't eat if you're not by my side!"I'll get sick if I don't eat, and then I'll go to a world without Mommy just like Daddy. That place is dark

Natalie looked at Calvin and said, "You should eat up. The pizza tastes amazing. Margot has good taste. Just look at the amount of customers here!""Okay."Calvin continued eating elegantly. He suddenly felt downcast for some reason.Gabriel only glanced at Calvin before asking Natalie, "Aren't you going to introduce him to me? Is he your boyfriend?"Natalie's expression changed, but her gaze didn't leave Calvin's face.Instead, she purposefully replied, "You're right, he's my boyfriend."She then turned around to look at Gabriel and smiled graciously, asking, "How about you, Mr. Sawyer? It's been a while. Are you married to Camilla's aunt now?"Natalie frequently returned to Amberville and would occasionally bump into Gabriel, but they would avoid each other every time they met.They had never met up on purpose. She could even count the number of times they had talked to each other.Despite the many years, Natalie still couldn't forget what he had done to her in the past.Pe

It was already 8:00 pm by the time both of them rushed over to the pizzeria with Lilac. The store was still bustling with customers.Margot was about to bring Lilac and Curtis into a private room when she suddenly heard Natalie's voice from nearby. "Margot!"Upon hearing her, Margot turned and looked over to the direction of the voice. She smiled and walked over quickly when she saw that it was Natalie.She asked, "Why are you here, Natalie? Are you alone? Where's Benjamin and Tommy?"Natalie gently smiled and said, "They'll come after a few days. I'm here for your store's grand opening.""Thank you, Natalie!"Margot got curious when she saw Calvin standing beside Natalie.She said, "The two of you—"How did they end up being together now?"Oh, he treated me to a meal in order to thank me," Natalie replied offhandedly.Her gaze subconsciously landed on Calvin.Calvin got up and greeted Margot, "Have you eaten, Margie?"Margot ignored him and took over Natalie's hand.She s

Curtis bought a pretty Barbie doll, a bouquet of fresh flowers, and also a small cake.Just as he was on his way back to the pizzeria with everything he bought, he received a call from the hospital.In the call, the doctor worriedly said, "You shouldn't delay any further, Mr. Crosby. Please hurry over and get your treatment!"Curtis replied, "I'm busy now. Do I need to stay in the hospital every day? Just find me a heart first. Once you find it, I'll go back for the surgery."The doctor asked, "Can you ensure that you'll stay relaxed and happy every day then? What matters the most in fighting your illness is to keep yourself happy. Your condition would be exacerbated even with just a little emotional distress. Everything will be for naught by the time we find you a heart."Curtis said, "I'll try my best to stay happy daily then."The doctor said, "Okay, but you should still come for treatment regularly. Otherwise, you might not be able to last much longer."Not to mention two ye
