Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

Liliana trembled, her eyes wide with disbelief.Noelle sighed to herself. "I don't need to lie to you. Honestly, this is only the second time I've met you. Liliana, Charles sees you as his sister, no matter who else is involved or their status!"Liliana's gaze wavered, but she remained silent.They reached the children's ward on the third floor. Liliana's footsteps softened as they ascended, and she grew even quieter upon entering Bobby's room. Noelle caught Charles's eye, and he gave a reassuring nod.Noelle walked in with Liliana. Bobby had just woken up. The caregiver had looked after him well, but without Liliana, he had been crying a lot. Seeing her, his face lit up with a smile. "Mommy!""Bobby!" Liliana hurried over, lifted him into her arms, and playfully pinched his nose. "Did the nurse say you've been crying?""No way!" Bobby shook his head, turned aside, and wiped away his tears. "Mommy, I'm a big boy, and big boys don't cry! Mommy, why did it take you so long? I misse

Samara?Charles squinted, studying Liliana closely.Liliana met his gaze and managed a weak smile under his piercing eyes. "Canfield's foster daughter and Yankel's sister."Charles's memory clicked into place. That was the connection between Yankel and Samara. Samara had left everything behind for the sake of her child, leaving Brookville all alone. What a coincidence that she ran into Liliana?Liliana caught the look of realization on Charles's face and knew he had pieced it together. "She made me promise right before she passed not to tell Yankel about the kid. She was afraid he'd hate her and take it out on the little one.""I won't lie. I had my own reasons too. Bobby's been like a band-aid for my heartache, giving me the guts to face every day. That's why I never brought him back to face Yankel. If Bobby's sickness wasn't getting serious, I wouldn't have dreamed of coming back, much less reveal his backstory!" Liliana's eyes gleamed as she spoke, and she instinctively touched

Charles bit his lip. "Sean's already on the hunt for a bone marrow match, and I'll make sure Yankel gets here ASAP. Don't worry!""Hey, don’t fret anymore, okay? Bobby's a sweetheart, and he's got good luck on his side. When he's all better, just bring him to Phoenix Tree Residence, and we'll be one big happy family!" Noelle reassured Liliana with a gentle pat on her hand.Bobby must have been worn out because he dozed off while they were talking.Liliana lowered her voice, and once she saw Bobby was deep in dreamland, she signaled for the caregiver to come and look after him.Noelle grabbed Liliana's hand and steered her toward the door. "You've had a long day, so you've gotta be starving! Charles booked us a spot. Let's go grab a bite!"Liliana really felt like saying no, but Noelle had a knack for making it impossible to resist her.Liliana took a long look at Noelle and realized that despite her gentle nature, she had a magnetic pull and charm that no one could say no to. A

The atmosphere in the car seemed to grow tense again. Noelle lowered her head and took out her phone. Seeing that Rowena was online, she exchanged a few words with her.Then, noticing a message in the group chat, she opened it and realized it was from a group chat Sean had created. To her surprise, another person had been added—Liliana!Noelle looked slightly surprised and raised an eyebrow when she saw that the person who added Liliana was Tania. "Does Tania also know that Liliana is back?""Yes." Charles nodded. "They were very close friends in university.""In that case, maybe Tania can help persuade her. I figure Liliana is someone who values relationships deeply, so she might listen to Tania!""You're quite clever." Charles could not help but curl his lips into a smile. Seeing Noelle like this, he shook his head in amusement.As they were talking, Noelle's phone suddenly rang. When she looked at the screen, she saw that it was her grandfather Sebastian calling. She quickly a

Charles stayed silent, so Noelle kept staring at him, wondering if she had forgotten something important. Could it be that Charles had known her for a long time and liked her all along? However, because she had always been in a relationship, he never approached her? "So, you've been paying attention to me this whole time?"Charles pressed his thin lips together, his eyes filled with amusement. Hearing Noelle's question, his smile deepened. "What's the matter? Are you just realizing how deeply I love you? Touched, are you?""Mm!"Noelle nodded seriously, "I honestly never expected it!" She was genuinely surprised to discover the depth of Charles' feelings for her."But when did you start liking me?"Ah, women. Once they became curious about something, they would not let it go easily. Noelle was no exception as she kept pressing Charles for an answer.Charles, however, refused to say. "Figure it out yourself. When you're sure, come and ask me again. Let's see if you get it right.
