Rachel Shaw sobbed quietly, looking at Damien Lancaster.
Damien Lancaster pressed his lips together and said nothing.
"Damien... it hurts, let go..." Rachel Shaw tried hard to break free from Ivy Sumrs’ hand, but failed.
Damien Lancaster raised his hand to press down Ivy Sumrs’ hand, "Let go."
Ivy Sumrs turned to look at Damien Lancaster, her voice firm, "I really saw it. She just deliberately tried to spill on the child."
Damien Lancaster pondered for a mont, then said in a low voice, "She wouldn’t."
"Then why did the kettle tip towards Sophie?"
"That was an accident!"
Upon hearing Damien Lancaster’s words, disappointnt welled up in Ivy Sumrs’ heart.
"Let go." Damien Lancaster intensified his voice.
Ivy Sumrs released Rachel Shaw’s hand; Rachel sobbed as if she was the injured one, feeling terribly wronged.
Ivy Sumrs stared at Damien Lancaster for a long ti without speaking.
Damien Lancaster, with his foolish mind, still wanted to bring the child back to the Lancaster Family. If Rachel Shaw could target other people’s children, and if she found out this was her child, wouldn’t these few children in the family be in danger?
"Fine, if you don’t believe, then check the surveillance."
"Uncle, Aunt..." At this ti, Sophie was brought out by Mrs. Grant with red eyes and nose.
Her small pants were still rolled up, revealing a small red patch on her plump thigh, making Ivy Sumrs feel heartbroken.
Sophie lifted her hand, trying to seek a hug from mommy and see mommy’s injury.
But the little one saw Damien Lancaster and was afraid he’d notice sothing, so she gave up on the idea and stayed obediently in Mrs. Grant’s arms.
Seeing the place where Sophie got burnt, a sudden sense of heartache welled up in Damien Lancaster.
"Young master, the child’s burn has been rinsed with water, but it’s better to see a doctor for reassurance," said Mrs. Grant.
"Hmm." Damien Lancaster took Sophie from Mrs. Grant, glanced at Ivy Sumrs, "You co too, we’ll check the surveillance later."
"Will the surveillance still be there when we return?"
Ivy Sumrs purposefully looked at Rachel Shaw.
Rachel Shaw bit her lip.
If the child’s situation wasn’t urgent, Ivy Sumrs would need to check the surveillance before leaving.
But since she’s spoken now, if the surveillance video is absent, then Rachel Shaw is essentially confessing.
Ivy Sumrs gave her a glance, then turned to leave together.
As they followed Damien Lancaster out of the Lancaster Family house, Ivy Sumrs suddenly saw two small figures flash by.
Ivy Sumrs was too familiar with those two small figures.
Nathan, Leo.
She knew they would co.
Damien Lancaster carried Sophie to the car first, while Ivy Sumrs dawdled outside, slowing her speed, and gave the two little ones a look.
Hurry up.
The two little ones didn’t understand what Ivy Sumrs ant.
Leo scratched his head, "What does mommy an?"
Nathan, "Probably to follow."
"Oh, oh, then let’s follow quickly."
...
Arriving at the hospital, Damien Lancaster walked ahead carrying Sophie, while Ivy Sumrs trailed behind. Sophie lay on Damien Lancaster’s shoulder, exchanging glances with Ivy Sumrs.
Ivy Sumrs gestured to Sophie.
With one look back from Damien Lancaster, Ivy Sumrs imdiately straightened up.
The registration done, they entered the doctor’s office.
Sophie wriggled out of Damien Lancaster’s arms, "Uncle, Sophie wants candy."
"See the doctor first, we can buy so after seeing the doctor."
Sophie blinked, "But Sophie wants it now."
Sophie grinned ingratiatingly, and Damien Lancaster looked at her little gluttonous face, then turned to Ivy Sumrs.
Ivy Sumrs spoke, "You go buy it for her, I’ll stay with her."
Damien Lancaster hesitated for two seconds, nodded, and turned to leave.
As soon as Damien Lancaster left, the mother and daughter patted their chests and let out a breath of relief.
While letting the doctor examine the injuries, Ivy Sumrs borrowed a charger from the doctor to charge her phone and called Ella Morgan.
Ella Morgan was still working at the company when she received Ivy Sumrs’ call. Holding the phone while organizing files, she asked, "Ivy, how’s it going? Did Damien Lancaster let you go?"
From her tone, Ella Morgan hadn’t realized that the three little ones had already sneaked to Aethelgard.
After Ivy Sumrs explained the situation there to Ella Morgan, Ella Morgan was almost scared to death.
"They... this... what should we do now? I previously pretended to be you to pick up Sophie, so in Damien Lancaster’s eyes, I’m Sophie’s mom, so I’m the only one who can pick up Sophie."
Ivy Sumrs sighed, "There’s no other way."
"Okay, I’ll co back."
"Ella, thank you, I’ll book you a flight ticket."
Ivy Sumrs hung up the phone, finally breathing out in relief.
Once Ella is back, she can take Sophie ho.
The doctor finished examining Ivy Sumrs and Sophie. They had tily rinsed with cold water, so the injuries weren’t very serious, and the doctor prescribed burn ointnt.
Leaving the office, Ivy Sumrs held Sophie’s hand and instructed, "Sophie, later you tell Damien Lancaster that you contacted mommy with your smartwatch, and that mommy will co to pick you up later, okay?"
"Okay." Sophie nodded, "Don’t worry, mommy, Sophie understands."
...
On the other side, Damien Lancaster went to the supermarket downstairs at the hospital to buy candy for Sophie.
Walking into the supermarket, Damien Lancaster’s tall and imposing figure, coupled with his stunningly handso face and noble deanor, seed completely out of place here, drawing frequent glances from people inside the supermarket.
Not knowing where the candy was, Damien Lancaster asked a supermarket salesgirl, who blushed and led him to a shelf lined with various candies.
Damien Lancaster, not sure what kind of candy Sophie wanted, and considering the little girl wasn’t picky, grabbed several different kinds.
Nathan and Leo got out of the taxi and stood at the hospital entrance, their little brows deeply furrowed.
Since Ivy Sumrs and Sophie ca to the hospital, they must be injured.
The pair anxiously rushed into the hospital.
After buying the candy, Damien Lancaster ca out of the supermarket, his gaze drawn to the two running little children in front of him.
Two little ones, appearing about four or five years old, holding hands and running inside.
They ran swiftly, and as Damien Lancaster watched their backs, he frowned.
Perhaps it was his desire for children that made him feel the two little boys looked sowhat like him.
Driven by an inexplicable urge, Damien Lancaster quickly followed, entering the hospital where it was crowded, and suddenly lost sight of the two little ones.
Damien Lancaster felt a sense of loss.
Maybe he was over-sensitive, seeing every child as potentially his own.
No longer dwelling on it, he entered the elevator and pressed for the third floor.
Nathan and Leo, not knowing where Ivy Sumrs and Sophie were, grew anxious in their search.
"Ding" sounded the elevator.
The elevator door opened, and Damien Lancaster stepped out.
The two little ones hurriedly entering the elevator bumped into Damien Lancaster.
Damien Lancaster looked down, and the two little ones looked up.
