"What are you two chatting about?"Sean was the first to push the door open and walk in. He saw Noelle and Kelly talking, and the sisters seemed to be in a good mood.Charles followed with a plate of pumpkin pie. When he saw the child in Noelle's arms, his expression softened.Noelle was softly touching Seth's cheek. When she saw Charles and Sean enter, she smiled and said, "Oh, it's just girl talk. That's not something for you guys to worry about.""Okay!" Charles nodded and walked over with the pumpkin pie. He cut a couple of slices and handed them to Noelle. "Margaret said this was okay for you to eat!" Then he gave the rest to Seth.At first, Seth was shy around Charles and seemed too nervous to speak. However, after seeing Noelle and Kelly's encouraging glances, he reached out, took a slice, and popped it into his mouth.The pie must have been delicious because after Seth finished one slice, he could not resist reaching for another, though he still looked at Charles cautious

Sean was not worried at all. Kelly was part of the Smith family now, and she had not done anything really bad. He had no hard feelings toward her, and deep down, he was actually happy to see her getting along with Noelle."We'll head over in a bit! However, just so you know, we won't get the test results until tomorrow at the earliest, and I can't promise how well you and Noelle will match up."Kelly nodded. After popping a candy in her mouth, her dizziness started to fade. She looked at Sean with a serious face. "About what Charles said... The virus injection thing..."Sean was caught off guard. "You... You know, you could say no. Noelle wouldn't agree to it if she knew."Kelly shook her head firmly. "Please,l don't tell Noelle!"“But...""I'll be okay, I've already talked it over with Charles."Sean realized arguing was pointless, Kelly had made up her mind. He gave a resigned smile. "Alright, but we have to wait a little longer. Noelle still needs to have her blood taken, and

Tania shook her head. "It's nothing. I just thought Kelly was acting a little weird, that's all. Come on. Let's go see how Noelle is doing!""Sure!" Peter agreed with a nod. He watched Tania take Bran by the hand and head into the hospital room. Peter's eyes lingered on the spot where Kelly had just been, and it took him a moment before he turned and followed them inside.Sean had finished drawing blood and noticed Noelle looking a bit pale. "Why don't you lie down for a bit or have some candy?" Sean offered, pulling a few pieces from his pocket and reaching out to Noelle. However, Charles blocked his hand. "They're so dirty. You can't give those to Noelle!""Hey! Who are you calling dirty? What's dirty about them?" Sean was clearly annoyed by Charles's fussiness. "Look at you, all finicky. Kelly didn't mind when I gave her some after her blood test!"Charles squinted at him. "They're dirty.""Come on, you..." Sean said, rolling up his sleeves like he was ready to throw down with

Peter left the next morning, bright and early. Tania knew where he was headed, but she could not shake off a feeling of unease.Before he left, Peter had a serious talk with Charles. Tania knew things were serious, even though Peter and Charles had not told her everything.Charles had a lot on his plate, looking after both Noelle and Collosus Group. Lately, Collosus Group had been rocked by chaos, from outside attacks to internal strife. Charles realized that was not like the minor troubles of the past. The enemy had come prepared, secretly placing many of their own inside Collosus Group. If Steven had not led a team to breach the enemy's firewall and uncover some clues, Charles might have been clueless about the infiltration.Worried that Tania might be in danger, Charles decided to place her and Bran under the protection of the Hoffman family.The Hoffman estate might not look like much from the outside, but Maxwell had been busy over the years, gathering a strong team of guards.

Noelle could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Lately, when Kelly visited, she seemed troubled. Thinking back on their recent conversations, Noelle grew increasingly worried. As she burst through the door, her heart raced. She wanted to stop what was happening, but it was too late.The moment Noelle entered, Kelly had already grabbed the syringe from Sean and jabbed it into her arm, pushing the medicine in with a quick thrust.Kelly's face was pale, and when she saw Noelle, she tried to smile. "Noelle, what are you doing here?""What are you doing?"Noelle grabbed the syringe from Kelly, but it was too late. The medicine was already in.With tears in her eyes, Noelle bit her lip hard. "Why did you have to do this?""What did I do wrong?" Kelly noticed Noelle's teary eyes and chuckled softly. "I just felt a little sick, so Sean gave me a shot. Why the tears?""You're still trying to trick me. It can't just be a shot, you..." Noelle felt like they were all treating h
