"What do you plan to do at Mount Phoenix?" Randy was completely baffled. "Dr. Feroma is no longer there."
"I was just thinking that Dr. Feroma might have some books or records of some sort left in his house, which could shed some light into providing a cure for the poison."
She added, "Also, Hapilia and the rest are quite knowledgeable in medicine. I would like to invite them over to check on your daddy. Whether they could heal him completely, that's secondary. We could really use their help and expertise, especially during an emergency. It's better than just letting it be, " Carla shared her thoughts openly.
"All right. You go ahead and do that, Mommy." Randy nodded firmly. "Rest assured that I'm with you all the way."
"I'll discuss with your daddy tonight." She hugged him. "Now, be good and finish your snacks. Don't overwork yourself, okay? I'm heading downstairs."
"Sure, mommy."
When she went downstairs, Zayn was already home. He was instantly surrounded by the children because he brought along with him a ton of snacks and a handful of beautiful dolls.
"Whoa, these are so pretty!" the three children sang in unison. "Uncle Zayn, are these for us?"
"Yes, all of these are my gifts to you. Welcome to our home." Zayn bent down to the child's eye level and patted their heads gently.
"Thank you, Uncle Zayn!"
"Venus, Josh, go and pick your favorites too. See if there's something you'd like to eat."
"It's fine. I'm a boy. I don't play girls' toys and neither do I like junk food, " Josh straightened his back and declared his stance like a man.
"Hahaha!" Zayn burst into laughter. "I'll play soccer with you later."
"Yeah, awesome!" Josh nodded repeatedly.
"No way, " Carla objected to the idea. "Your daddy needs to keep me company tonight. Josh, you can play with Mr. Bugara."
"All right. I get it. Mommy comes first." Being an obedient child, Josh winked at his father and reminded him, "Daddy, stick with Mommy. You'd better be nice to her."
"Haha, you cheeky rascal!" he chortled while pinching his son's face.
These few days were perhaps the most he had ever laughed in his life. He felt extremely positive and delighted at everything.
Seeing how happy he was, Carla could not help but feel a tinge of sadness.
She was of the opinion that he was just trying to keep his spirits up, seeking joy amidst his sorrows. With each passing day, she was truly afraid of losing him completely…
"What's the matter?" Zayn reached out to pinch her cheek lovingly when he saw how preoccupied she was. "Are you sulking because I didn't get you any toys?"
"Tsk!" Carla smiled sheepishly. "How come you're home so early today?" Habitually, she ran her arms around his.
"Because I missed you." He leaned over and kissed her.
"Oh dear, this gives me goosebumps." Venus covered her eyes and scurried away.
"Hahaha…" Josh chuckled and went out to play.
"How could you do that in front of the children? Hmm…" Before she could push him away, he acted fast and sealed her lips with another kiss.
Hugging her in his arms, he lifted her head and planted yet another passionate kiss.
Although it only lasted for several seconds, it was enough to make Carla's heart skip a beat, especially when it happened in the living room in front of so many pairs of eyes.
"Let's return to our room, " he said suggestively as he nibbled on her earlobe. "I've got something to tell you…"
"Mmm-hmm." Blushing, Carla nodded. "I have something to discuss with you too."
With that, both of them interlocked their fingers together and strode upstairs.
The maids and bodyguards turned green with envy. Everyone was really happy at how things had turned out for them.
Back in the room, Zayn took out a stack of documents. He then passed her a pen and instructed, "Sign them."
"What are they?" Carla wanted to read first but was stopped by Zayn.
He placed his hand on the documents and urged, "Quick, sign it."
