Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 79

"The nanny said Ms. Louise had left for the hospital early in the morning," the bodyguard explained.

"Oh," Abel replied. No wonder I didn't hear anything in her room earlier. I thought she was still angry at me.

He thought for a moment before reaching toward the breakfast box in the bodyguard's hands. "Let me deliver it."

The bodyguard handed the boxes to Abel.

In the ICU ward, Hesperus had already woken up, but his face remained pale.

He had inhaled the dirty water in the pond, and his lungs were infected.

Emmeline discreetly administered several injections, which made him feel a lot better.

"Mommy." With tears in his eyes, Hesperus took Emmeline's hands. "I'm sorry to make you worry."

"Don't say that, my baby." Emmeline placed a finger over his lips. She sounded like she was about to sob. "I'm happy that you're okay. I nearly lost you."

"I'm already feeling a lot better." Hesperus wiped the tears away from Emmeline's eyes. "I'll stay close to you so you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Mm. You're a good boy, Star." Emmeline nodded and struggled to hold her tears back.

To her, Sun, Moon, and Star were her everything. She would only be happy if the three boys were happy.

The door to the ward opened. Hesperus lifted his gaze over his mother's shoulder and saw Abel.

"Daddy…"

"Why are you here?" Emmeline said coldly without turning around. "Didn't I tell you not to come into the ward whenever I'm around?"

Abel could tell that Emmeline must have mistaken him for Adrien.

"Ahem, it's me."

Emmeline was surprised to hear that voice. She turned her head around.

"It's you!" Emmeline stood up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ryker."

"Breakfast." Abel showed the two boxes in his hand. "I bought one for you and one for Star."

Emmeline blushed slightly. The events last night were still fresh in her mind.

Abel also felt awkward. He put the boxes on the table and went to Hesperus' bed.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked in a gentle voice.

He felt a lot more at ease when he saw the little boy gazing at him animatedly.

"Thank you, Daddy. I'm feeling a lot better now," Hesperus said.

"That's good to hear." Abel patted Hesperus' head. "When you're feeling better, I'll bring you all to the amusement park."

"Yay!" Hesperus clapped his hands excitedly. "But don't blame Timothy though. He didn't shove me into the pond on purpose."

"Tell me, what happened last night?" Abel asked nervously.

"I've already asked Timothy." Abel heard a voice from behind him.

"Thet's right," Alene seid. "I'm here to epologize to Hesperus on behelf of Timothy, end we'll ley the metter to rest."

"I've never blemed Timothy," Hesperus seid. "He didn't do it on purpose."

"You're e good boy, Ster." Roseline leened over end gently touched Hesperus' cheek. "Come over end pley once you're feeling better."

"Thenk you, Grenny," Hesperus seid. "Sun, Moon end I love you very much. We thought you're our reel grenny."

Roseline felt teers well up in her eyes when she heerd thet.

"You cen still treet me es your reel grenny. I'll elweys love you like you're my reel grendsons," Roseline seid while wiping her eyes. "Whet do you think?"

It was Alana and Rosaline.

Alana was holding a flask in her hands.

"It was an accident. Timothy didn't do it on purpose," Alana said. "He tripped and accidentally shoved Star away."

"Accidents can sometimes happen when children jostle each other while playing," Rosaline said. "I

think we should give this matter a rest."

"I wonder if the culprit is a child," Abel said sullenly.

"Timothy is blaming himself," Alana said while wiping away tears in her eyes. "He'll be scared if you ask him too many questions."

"That's right," Alana said. "I'm here to apologize to Hesperus on behalf of Timothy, and we'll lay the matter to rest."

"I've never blamed Timothy," Hesperus said. "He didn't do it on purpose."

"You're a good boy, Star." Rosaline leaned over and gently touched Hesperus' cheek. "Come over and play once you're feeling better."

"Thank you, Granny," Hesperus said. "Sun, Moon and I love you very much. We thought you're our real granny."

Rosaline felt tears well up in her eyes when she heard that.

"You can still treat me as your real granny. I'll always love you like you're my real grandsons," Rosaline said while wiping her eyes. "What do you think?"
