CHAPTER 1221
When Auntie Cherry heard from Silvia that these two boys were here in Madison City to look for their brother but failed, she was worried sick.
While Silvia was in the kitchen, Auntie Cherry immediately persuaded her, "Miss Turner, why don't we just call the police? What if their families reported them missing? If the police found them here, we might be in big trouble."
"Auntie Cherry, that's possible, but it wouldn't matter at all. We are not human traffickers anyway. If the police were to come over to the house, we can just let them take the boys away, isn't it?" Silvia was not worried about being treated as human traffickers at all. Her only concern was if it would be inconvenient for the two boys to stay here.
She thought for a moment and continued, "Auntie Cherry, the two boys have been looking for their brother for three days now. They must have not had a good sleep for the past three days. So. could you please clean up the guest room and prepare a few sets of clothes while I cut up some fruits for them? I want them to feel as comfortable as they were at home."
"Miss Turner, you've just met them earlier today and you know nothing about them. Are you really sure that this is going to be fine?" Now that her master was not at home, Auntie Cherry was worried that something bad would happen.
Silvia opened the refrigerator and picked out different kinds of fruits. "Auntie Cherry, they are just children. Do you really think that they would actually lie to me?"
Auntie Cherry said, "Miss Turner, I'm just worried..."
Silvia said, "Alright, don't worry about it anymore. You can get back to work first. I’ll go out and bring these up first."
"Miss Turner, are you really not thinking about it?" Auntie Cherry sighed in her heart. Even Andrew had never gotten the chance to eat the fruits that Si|via had personally prepared. These two boys were really lucky. If her master were to find out about it, he would surely be jealous again.
Si|via said while cutting up the fruits, "Auntie Cherry, the two of them are so young. They came all the way here to look for their relative but they couldn't find him after so many days. Don't you think that they're very pitiful? If I don't treat them well, who is?"
In fact, it was all because they were good looking. Who could bear to leave them on the streets just like this?
Silvia didn't know if the others would, but she definitely would not bear to do that to them.
In the living room.
Julien sat upright and said with a serious face, "Levi, do you still remember what you're here for? We're here to look for Andrew, not to let you flirt with girls."
Although they were about the same age, Levi couldn't sit like Julien at all. He was slouching on the sofa with one foot hanging up high. "Julien, I'm not even 11 years old. How could I really court Miss Silvia? I just can't help but want to get close to her because she's really beautiful."
"So you knew that you are not even eleven yet huh?" Julien glanced at him and said, "Levi, believe it or not, I will tell Aunt Angela about everything you've done."
"You're threatening me again!" Levi was so angry that he stood up and pointed at Julien's nose. "Julien, you'd better don't go too far. You promised me that as long as I come along with you to look for Andrew, you will not talk about that matter anymore."
"I don't remember promising you anything though. I only know that you've done something bad, and if Aunt Angela were to find out about it, she would definitely skin you alive." Julien curved the corner of his lips into a smile.
He had inherited his father's haughty character. He would always act like an adult and he would rarely smile. Whenever Julien smiled, he would be extraordinarily cute. However, Levi knew exactly how evil this little guy was.
"But... but you've already promised me." Julien promised him that as long as Levi was willing to sneak out with him to look for Andrew, he would never mention that incident again. Now, this evil little guy was going back on his words.
Julien said indifferently. "Prove it then!"
At that very moment, Levi could only feel that there was a fire burning in his chest. "Hmph... Julien, I will definitely ask Andrew to bring me justice once we find him."
Levi swore that he would never believe Julien, this evil person, ever again. Julien would pretend to be cute in front of the family, but in fact, he was wicked.
"James, Ronan, I know that you ran away from home to look for your brother, but there's no point to worry about it if you can't contact him now. I have cut up some fruit for the two of you, so you guys can eat these while we think of a way to find your brother, okay?" Silvia was holding a large plate of fruit in her hands. Before she had stepped into the living room, she could hear Levi talking about his brother, so she instinctively thought that they were anxious to find their brother.
"You're so nice to us, Miss Silvia!" Levi immediately put on a lovely smile and leaned into Silvia. "Miss Silvia, did you cut all these up by yourself?"
"Yup." Silvia nodded. "Some of them are not very nicely cut, I hope that you guys won't dislike it."
"No, you've cut it very well. I'm sure that it would be very sweet since you were the one who cut it. I must eat all of it." Levi had learned to talk like this from his mother, which was very effective in making girls happy.
"Eat slowly. If you want more, I can go prepare more for you." Silvia enjoyed talking to Levi. Whenever she heard Levi praising her, she really couldn't wait to do something to please them.
Ring...
Just as Silvia was thinking about what she could do, her mobile phone rang. When she saw that it was Audrey, she immediately answered the call, "What's up, Audrey?"
"I'm almost done here. If you come any later, you won't be able to learn anything, so are you still coming over?" Audrey's grumpy voice sounded from the phone.
"What are you talking about?" As soon as Silvia saw the two handsome boys, she had completely forgotten that she was supposed to go out with Audrey to learn how to flirt with men.
"Silvia Turner, did you hit your head or something?" However, Audrey suddenly realized that it could be possible that Young Master Carter was with Silvia at this moment, so Silvia did not dare to behave wantonly.
Audrey was a smart person, so she immediately changed her words. "I'm just joking with you. You don't always get a break like this, so you should go have fun with Young Master Carter. I won't bother the two of you anymore. Bye."
"Audrey... Do you have something to... Hey... hey?" Before Silvia could finish asking, Audrey had already hung up the phone. "What's wrong with her today?"
Levi came to Silvia’s side and asked thoughtfully, “Miss Silvia, do you have something else to attend to?"
"It‘s the weekend, so I have nothing to do at all. We'll start coming out with a plan to look for your brother after you've finished the fruits, okay? Silvia really treated the two boys just like any other children. She was not wary about them at all, but little did she know that these two boys were wicked.
CHAPTER 1222
Levi picked up a piece of apple and put it at Silvia's mouth. "You should eat some too, Miss Silvia."
"Aw, you're so sensible and you're so nice that you just make people like you. If you continue to be like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to let you go anymore." Silvia parted her lips and bit on the apple. The apple was not sweet, but she felt like her heart was dipped in honey.
Then, Levi picked up a piece of kiwi and fed it to Silvia. "Because I like you. I want to pursue you when I grow up, so I have to be good to you."
Silvia smiled and said, "Kid, I‘m afraid that you won't get the chance to do that in this life. But, I'll definitely wait for you in my next life."
Levi pouted his lips and said, "Miss Silvia, life is a long process, and anything is possible.“
Julien, on the other hand, who was eating the fruits without saying a word, was about to throw up when he heard that. He cleared his throat and reminded Levi that it was time to stop and they should start thinking of a way to find their brother.
However, Levi ignored Julien and continued to feed his beloved Miss Silvia. He had been thinking about how he could steal her away from her husband when he grew up.
The fruits on the plate were almost gone when Silvia finally remembered the reason why these two boys were here. "By the way, are you guys sure that your brother is staying in this area too?"
Levi shook his head and said, "No, we're not sure about that."
Silvia said with disappointment, "Ah... you aren't sure?"
"He was the one who said that Big Brother's house is in the West Side." Levi pointed at Julien. Anyway, it was Julien, this evil little guy, who asked him to follow him here.
"I'm 100% sure about that." In the face of a stranger, Julien kept his words simple, without showing any emotions.
Julien was so cold that Silvia could not help but be serious as she spoke to him. "Since you're sure that your brother lives here, then why don't you tell me his name? I will go over to the management office later and ask them to look for him. Then, we should be able to find him."
Levi said, "Miss Silvia, our brother's surname is also Carter."
Silvia reached out her hand to pinch his face and said with a smile, "Kid, of course I know your brother's surname is also Carter, but you have to tell me his full name. There are many people with this surname. The owner of this house is also a Carter."
Levi immediately asked, "Miss Silvia, aren't you the owner of this house?"
"No, I'm not." Thinking of how she became Andrew's wife, Silvia was still very embarrassed. "Just like you, I'm only living here temporarily."
"The owner of this house is a Carter too?" Levi looked at Julien. After receiving a look from Julien, he then asked, "Silvia, can you please tell us his name?"
Silvia smiled and said, "The owner of this house is Andrew Carter."
Andrew Carter! Andrew Carter! Andrew Carter!
This was the Big Brother whom they had come all the way for. All they really needed was luck. They had never expected that they would actually find their brother this way!
However, Andrew knew nothing about them running away from home at all, so they didn't know what he would do if he saw them!
The two boys exchanged glances and decided to hide their identities. They thought that they would act accordingly until they finally saw Andrew.
"Alright boys, you guys should tell me your Big Brother's name already, so I can help you find him." They have already found their brother, but Silvia had no idea about it at all. She was still worried about them, but little did she know she had been tricked by these two boys.
"Simon Carter. That's our brother's name." Levi did not want to lie to Silvia, but Julien was staring fiercely at him, so he had no choice but to come up with a random name.
"Okay, I’ll keep that in mind." Silvia ruffled Levi's hair and said, "James, Ronan, Auntie Cherry will bring you guys to the guest room now, so you guys can go get some rest while I help you find your brother."
"I'll go with you, Silvia." Levi felt sorry for Silvia because he knew that her effort would all go in vain.
"I'm just going over to the management office. You two don't have to follow me. You must be tired after looking around for the past three days, so you guys should go get some rest first. I‘ll be back soon." It was really a shame for Silvia, who had no idea about anything, to be thinking so much for these two boys.
.....................
In the guest room.
Standing at the balcony and seeing Silvia's receding figure, Levi felt guilty. "Julien, why did you want me to lie to her?"
Julien patted Levi's back and said with a sophisticated look, "I'm thinking what you were thinking."
Levi said sullenly, "I just thought that all of these might be too coincidental. We've been looking for Andrew for three whole days, but we couldn't find him at all. But now, we're actually in his house."
Julien said, “Things are just this coincidental sometimes."
Levi said, "Miss Silvia told us that she was married. Does that mean that her husband is Andrew?"
Julien continued to throw a wet blanket on him. "She might be just a nanny that Andrew had hired."
Levi said, "Wow, I wonder where Andrew had found such a beautiful nanny? I'll find one in the future too, but I won't let her do any of the housework. I'll just make her hangout with me."
Julien said. "You're so childish."
Levi retaliated. "So are you saying that you're not childish? If you're really not, then why did you run away from home?"
Julien returned the question, "Levi, weren't you the one who dragged me along when you ran away from home?"
It seemed like Levi was still too innocent. Even after Julien had tricked him for so many times, he still did not know the real reason why Julien had dragged him along to look for Andrew.
The reason why Julien dragged Levi along was not because he needed a companion, but because he needed a scapegoat. With Levi around, he could push all the blame on him if anything were to happen, then he would not be the one who would receive the punishment.
Levi realized that he had been set up again. His little face had already turned red when he said, "Julien, you've set me up again."
Julien said, "It's not the first time that I've set you up. Why are you so angry about it?"
Levi was at a loss for words.
It seemed like he was not as angry as he imagined he would. Did he actually get used to Julien setting him up? This was not a good habit at all. He must changeit.
Julien added, "I'm going to get some sleep first."
Levi stopped him and said, "Julien, since we've sneaked out like this, do you think that our family will be worried about us?"
Julien asked, "What do you think?"
Levi said, "My parents never really cared about me, but if I really happened to go missing, they will probably be worried about me. Why don't I give Mom a phone call?"
Julien said, "Levi, I know that you're not stupid, but you've always used up all your intelligence on those beautiful women, and you would never use that brain to think about your own stuff."
"What do you mean?" As soon as Levi asked, he immediately thought of something. "Do you mean that they know where we are? And they also know that we are here to look for Andrew?"
"If not what?" Julien knocked on Levi's head with his knuckles and said, "Why don't you stop thinking about those beautiful women and just take a moment to think about the things that we've gone through for the past three days? If it weren't for someone who had been helping us in the dark, do you really think that the security guards would actually let us enter the villa area just because we are well dressed and have a nice face?"
CHAPTER 1223
Upon hearing Julien's words, Levi suddenly understood something. "So you're saying that my parents knew of our every move?"
Julien smiled and said nothing.
With a hopeless look, Levi touched his butt and said plaintively, "Oh no... It's over! I'm doomed! I'm going to get kicked in the a’s again."
It was already difficult to deal with Angela, and now that Victor was on her side too, they would definitely beat Levi up together!
Boohoo! Levi lamented why was he born with Angela as a mother! Could Levi choose another family to reincarnate to?!
Perhaps it was possible because Victor and Angela would beat Levi to death, and so he would have a chance to reincarnate.
Just as Levi was fretting, Julien did not comfort him, and even decided to add fuel to the flames, "Hmm, why don't I tell Aunt Angela about what you did, so she could punish you for everything all at once?"
Levi was speechless.
If he could beat Julien in a fight, Levi would definitely tie him up now and give him a taste of his fists.
Julien was excited to finally meet the brother he missed for so long. Hence, he was in the mood to tease Levi. Otherwise, he would not even be bothered to do so.
Julien added, "If Miss Silvia is the girl whom Andrew likes, he's going to punish you badly when he finds out you confessed your love to her."
Levi's eyes widened in surprise. Did he inadvertently try to snatch Andrew's woman? "Didn't you say that Silvia was just a nanny?"
Julien chuckled and said, "You're a fool, and you don't admit it! Could a nanny bring guests home at her own will?"
Levi could not refute Julien's words.
"It's over! It's all over! I'm finished! The old man Victor, my mother, and now Andrew too. I'll probably get beaten to death!" Levi thought.
No way! He must do something so that he could avoid getting beaten up.
Levi thought for a while and then turned around to hug Julien. "Julien, I know you're the best buddy I have and you won't tell Andrew about it, right?"
Julien immediately put on a solemn face and said, "Get off me now."
Levi shook his head. "If you don't promise me that you'll not tell Andrew about it, I will never let you go."
Julien said, "I'll count to three. If you don't let go of me on the count of three, I'll give Aunt Angela a phone call right away."
Levi was at a loss for words.
How could Julien be so heartless? Levi was exasperated.
"Boys, are you guys not going to take a rest at all?" Auntie Cherry barged into their room without knocking on the door. Julien was displeased, so he raised his eyebrows and gave Levi a knowing look.
Levi knew what Julien meant, but why should Levi listen to a person who always bullied him?
Therefore, not only did Levi not drive Auntie Cherry away, he even spoke pleasantly, "Auntie Cherry, we were just about to get some rest."
"Then, would it be okay if you boys rest a little later?" Auntie Cherry smiled and said, "I have some questions that would like to ask the two of you."
"Just ask us, Auntie Cherry. I'll tell you everything I know." Levi was the master at sweet-talking. He was capable of making the others think that he was just an innocent little boy who knew nothing.
Auntie Cherry said, "Did you two really come here to look for your brother?"
Levi nodded. “Yes."
When Levi spoke, he would widen his eyes and look into Auntie Cherry's eyes. Looking at the innocent look on his face, Auntie Cherry could tell that he was not lying at all, so she was somewhat relieved.
Auntie Cherry added, "Miss Turner has already gone out to help you look for your brother. So, don't worry about it, okay? I believe that there will be news about your brother very soon."
Levi nodded his little head and said, "Yes, I believe in Miss Silvia and I believe in you too, Auntie Cherry. With both of your help, we'd definitely be able to find our brother soon."
This child was so eloquent and good looking too! With just a short conversation, Auntie Cherry had already fallen for Levi's charm.
Levi was such a lovely child, even the elderly Auntie Cherry could not withstand his charms. Hence, Silvia, who loved adorable things, fell at Levi's feet immediately.
Auntie Cherry instinctively reached out her hand to touch his head, but Levi nimbly avoided it.
He said in an innocent and lovely tone, "Auntie Cherry, my mother said that a man must not let anyone touch his head, only his future wife can touch it."
"Pfft..." Auntie Cherry could not help laughing and said, "Alright, you boys should get some rest now."
Auntie Cherry wanted to stroke Levi's head but he dodged it. It was supposed to be an awkward situation, but with a random excuse, not only did Levi resolve the embarrassment, he had also amused Auntie Cherry. It was undeniable that this little guy was indeed a social prodigy.
Auntie Cherry turned around and left. Julien, who had been keeping his silence the entire time, suddenly asked, "Auntie Cherry, how long have you been working here?"
"I started working here ever since my master had moved into this house. It has not been very long, but it's been more than three years now." Auntie Cherry did not suspect anything and answered with a smile, "Boys, you should get some rest now. If you need anything, feel free to let me know."
After listening to Auntie Cherry's answer, Julien stopped talking. However, it was very obvious that he was displeased.
Levi did not notice the look on Julien's face, and turned around to lay on the bed. "I wonder when Andrew would come home. I'm sure that he'd be very happy to see us here."
Julien said coldly, "How ignorant!"
"Julien, to be specific, I’m still your elder. You'd better change that attitude of yours when you speak to me. Stop saying that I'm stupid and ignorant. Otherwise, I'll really act as an elder and teach you a lesson."
Thinking of his identity in the family, Levi could only sigh with exasperation at the complexity of the matter.
Levi did not even know if Edwin Carter was considered his uncle, or his cousin!
To be precise, based on blood relations, Levi‘s father Victor was Edwin's Uncle. So that brat Julien, should be calling Levi as Uncle!
However, Levi's mother, Angela, who had been adopted by the Carters, requested for Levi to be identified based on her status in the family. Angela was Edwin's younger sister, hence her son, Levi, became the most junior member of the family, who was constantly bullied!
At times, Levi really couldn't understand why Victor would fall in love with Angela as she only did things her own way!
Julien sat beside and did not say a word. Julien was a reserved person and he would seldom speak, but Levi was sensitive enough to realize that Julien was displeased.
"Why are you upset all of a sudden? We will be meeting Andrew soon, shouldn't you be happy about it? Or are you worried that I will tell Andrew about the things that you've done?"
Julien looked at him with his cold eyes without uttering a word.
Therefore, Levi stopped talking. He knew Julien's character all too well. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Julien if he did not want to talk.
............
In West Side's management office.
"Are you sure that there's no such owner by the name of Simon Carter? Are you sure that there's only one owner with the surname Carter here in West Side?" Silvia had repeated these questions.
CHAPTER 1224
Silvia came to the management office in hopes that she could find 'Simon Carter, the brother of those adorable boys. However, all she got was the staff telling her that the only owner at West Side with the surname Carter was Andrew.
How could she not be dissapointed?
The pretty management office staff said patiently, "Miss Turner, even if you were to ask me for another hundred times, I only have the same answer. There's only one homeowner here with the surname Carter at West Side. There is no one by the name Simon Carter.“
"Are you sure about that?" Silvia stared at the young and beautiful staff and suddenly thought of something. "Oh... is it because the owner had asked you to keep his information confidential so you can't disclose it?"
The staff was completely speechless when she heard what Silvia had said. So, she explained, "Miss Turner, we are not trying to make things difficult for you, but there's really no Simon Carter here."
"Okay, okay... Since you said so, I'll just take it as it is then." Silvia could understand that it was their duty to keep the owner‘s information private, so she continued, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, but could you please secretly tell Simon that his two younger brothers had run away from home and they are looking for him now? If they can't find him, they'd be worried to death."
Although Silvia had been pestering her, the staff still maintained her politeness, "Miss Turner, there really is no Simon Carter here. If the children ran away from home, it would best if you could make a police report instead."
"Okay... If you say so." Silvia had been pestering the staff for nearly an hour, but the staff insisted that there was no Simon Carter. Perhaps, it was true.
However, the boys were so certain that their brother lived here. Could it be that they had made a mistake? Or maybe their brother did not register for the ownership of the house with his own name?
Alas, no matter how hard Silvia thought about it, she still could not figure it out. She could not accept this reality at all. How was she going to tell the two boys about it later?
If she told them that she could not find their brother, they would definitely be devastated and they might even be disappointed in her.
She did not want to leave a bad impression on them. She wanted to be a hero they could admire!
Ring...
Who was calling? It annoyed Silvia to received such an untimely call. Without glancing at her phone at all, Silvia immediately reached into her pocket and declined the call. "Don't disturb me now!"
Not long after declining the call, her mobile phone rang again. Silvia was annoyed. She was thinking about how to explain to the two boys, so she was not in the mood to talk to anyone else.
However, the phone kept on ringing. Therefore, Silvia had no choice but to take out her mobile phone. When she saw that it was Andrew calling, she felt like she had seen a savior. She was in high spirits at that instant. "Young Master Carter, you've called at the perfect timing. I need your advise on something."
When Silvia did not answer the phone during the first time he called her, Andrew thought that she was in a bad mood again. He did not expect that she would sound so happy when she answered the phone, so his voice had instinctively become a little higher, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Silvia went straight to the point. "I‘ve bumped into two little boys who came to Madison City to look for their brother earlier today, but they couldn't get through him and they weren't sure where he lives too. Do you have any ideas on how I can help them?"
Andrew said, "You should call the police and let the police help them."
Silvia waved her hand and said, "No, I can't call the police. Do you have any other options besides calling the police?"
“Then ask them if they have their brother's photo. If they do, you can post the photo online and ask netizens to help find him." Andrew did not question her on why they could not report this to the police. Instead, he immediately suggested a new idea. To him, Silvia never needed a solid reason for anything, as long as it was to her liking.
“That's right, simple yet effective! Why didn't I think of that?" He was indeed the almighty Young Master Carter. He had so many good ideas, and Silvia could rely on him to be her think tank!
Andrew smiled gently and said, "Silvia, you should think with your brain, and not with your stomach.“
Silvia pursed her lips and said, "Andrew, are you complaining that I’m eating too much? Or are you worried that you'll go broke feeding me? Just tell me frankly!"
Andrew chuckled, "Why would I complain that you're eating too much? It's just that I've unintentionally discovered something about you that would actually benefit me."
Silvia completely ignored Andrew's previous condemning remarks. She wanted to know what about her that could benefit Andrew so she said, "Tell me, what is it?"
Andrew's low and deep laughter sounded. "It's your stupidity. You're stupidity really accentuates my intelligence."
"Andrew Carter, let me tell you, people like you deserve to stay alone for the rest of your life. I hope that you won't be able to get a wife in your next life!" Silvia did not want to quarrel, but he was really annoying. If she did not scold him, he would think that she was an easy target.
What?! Her stupidity accentuated his intelligence? This conceited man was frustrating to converse with!
Silvia really wanted to trample him to death.
"I'm just kidding with you. Don't be angry, okay? By the way, it's lunch time now, make sure you eat your meals, alright?" Although Silvia would never forget her meals, Andrew would still give her a phone call to remind her on that. He wanted to tell her that although he was not in Madison City, he had always thought of her and cared about her.
"I don't have the time for you to tease me. I still have things to do, okay? Don't bother me if there's nothing urgent!" Silvia's priority was to help the two boys to find their brother, so she did not want to waste any more time with Andrew on the phone. Without saying goodbye, Silvia hung up.
Andrew was annoyed when he heard the disconnected tone. He called to show his concern for her, but all he got was her telling him not to bother her. On top of that, she had even hung up on him... It seemed like this silly woman needed him to teach her a lesson!
"Sir, this is the information that you've asked for," Eugene Elliot knocked on the door and entered. He handed the materials to Andrew and said, "Director Murphy has just arrived at the hotel. The negotiations will be carried out on time."
Andrew raised his hand and looked at the time. "Let's push the negotiation with Director Murphy's to 1 pm. Also, move the meeting tomorrow to this afternoon."
"But Sir, are you sure that you can cope with such a heavy schedule?" Eugene knew that Andrew was a workaholic, so it was common for him to work for more than 12 hours a day. However, after Andrew had gotten together with Silvia, he would rarely work such long hours anymore. So, why was he working overtime now?
"Do you think I can't handle such a light workload?" Andrew looked at Eugene with a faint smile. However, Eugene could not answer, so he hurriedly left the room to rearrange the meeting schedules.
As soon as Eugene left, Andrew thought of a woman and his lips were curled into a smile. How dare this silly woman start misbehaving just after a day he left?!
How dare she complain about him, and hang up on him? Thinking of this, Andrew decided to finish up his work quickly, so that he could go home earlier and teach the woman a lesson.
CHAPTER 1225
If she could get the two boys to give her a photo of their brother, then she could post it on the missing person website. As long as their brother was in Madison City, they could definitely find him.
Silvia ran back home while happily coming up with the entire plan. However, she was not paying attention to her steps, so she ended up tripping over something and fell on the ground. Her fall was even worse than what the thief had experienced earlier.
"F*ck! What the hell is going on?" Looking at the scratches on her elbows and the wound on her lips, she was on the verge of tears.
All she wanted to do was to help those two handsome boys find their brother. Did she do something wrong to deserve this? Why did God have to punish her like this?
"Miss Turner, what happened?" The moment Silvia tripped over, Auntie Cherry immediately came over to help her up. When she saw the wounds on Silvia's body, she was so worried that her eyes were full of tears. "Let's get into the house first. I‘ll call Dr. Thames to come over now."
“No, Auntie Cherry. You don't have to call Dr. Thames. These wounds aren't that serious. Could you please go get me some antiseptic cream for me instead? I'll be fine after applying it."
Dr. Thames was gentle and poised, but Silvia always felt that there was a hint of fancy in Dr. Thames's eyes when she gazed at Andrew. Hence, Silvia did not really like having Dr. Thames around.
"Miss Turner, just look at your elbows, it's all scraped now. How can you say that it's not serious?" Auntie Cherry must not take things lightly. For the first time ever, she disobeyed Silvia's wishes and picked up the phone to call the doctor.
However, Silvia did not say anything about it. Although she did not want to see Dr. Thames, if she happened to get an infection, she wouldn't be able to help those boys anymore, right?
As usual, Dr. Thames arrived in a flash. Minutes after the phone call, she was already at the house with her medical kit in hand.
While Dr. Thames was treating Silvia's wound, she said, "Miss Turner, these are just external injuries, and since you're still young, it would heal faster. In the next two days, they will start drying up and it will be all healed. But, only on the condition that you keep them dry at all times so that they won't get infected. Otherwise, it could be life-threatening."
"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." As much as Silvia disliked Dr. Thames, she still had to be polite to her, so she said, "Dr. Thames, so sorry for troubling you again."
Dr. Thames said, "Miss Turner, I'm afraid that you must have misunderstood about some things. I didn't come here voluntarily. I'm here because Master Andrew hired me, so it's my job and responsibility to do this. There's no such thing as troubling me at all."
"You're right. He was the one who hired you and I'm his wife, so it's reasonable for you to treat me." Although Dr. Thames's words were mean, Silvia could not deny it at all. Therefore, she accepted it.
However, Dr. Thames had unexpectedly exerted some force on her wound while she was applying the medicine, which made Silvia hiss in pain.
Before Silvia could say anything, Dr. Thames spoke first, "Miss Turner, make sure that you pay extra attention to your wound for the upcoming days until they are fully healed. Make sure that you don't get to the wound like you just did."
Did she do anything just now? Why did she not know that she did something?
Silvia looked at Dr. Thames. There was a gentle smile on her face, but this smile made Silvia extremely uncomfortable.
Perhaps, it was just an illusion? It was probably because she had a prejudice against Dr. Thames, so she felt that Dr. Thames would do something bad to her?
If this happened in the past, Silvia would definitely voice her dissatisfaction. However, after having been through so many incidents, Silvia had learned to control her temper.
"Auntie Cherry, now that Master Andrew is not at home, you should take good care of this house and make sure that nothing happens. Otherwise, you will be the one to be blamed. No one would be responsible for it." That was what Dr. Thames had said to Auntie Cherry when she was leaving the house.
Silvia knew that Dr. Thames wanted Silvia to hear those words. It seems that Silvia regarding Dr. Thames as a rival had been reciprocated.
However, Silvia was not in the mood to deal with Dr. Thames. What she cared about the most at that moment was the two boys who were looking for their brother, so she said, "Auntie Cherry, I'll go up and check on the boys."
Auntie Cherry warned, "Miss Turner, you should slow down a little. Be careful not to fall down again."
Silvia smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, Auntie Cherry. It won't happen again."
It looked like these two boys were really exhausted after looking for their brother for so many days. They were sleeping so soundly on the bed that they did not even notice that someone was entering the room.
Levi's sleeping posture was just like his personality. He was lying on the bed with his arms spreading out on each side as if he was the only one on the bed.
"Little guy, you're so cute." Silvia pinched Levi's face. "You're so cute. I really wish that I could keep you two here."
Silvia took a look at Julien. He was sleeping like a soldier, with his body straight and his arms on the side of his body, just like how he was when he was awake. However, his expression looked much more relaxed. His cheeks were blushing, which made him look even more adorable.
When he was awake, Silvia did not dare to pinch his face. Now that he was asleep, Silvia had finally plucked up the courage to pinch his face.
His cheeks were very squishy. They were like marshmallows and it felt nice to touch them. However, before Silvia could take her hands off his cheeks, Julien slowly opened his eyes and stared at her with an indifferent look.
"Oh... you're awake, Ronan!" Silvia quickly let go of her hand and pretended that nothing had happened a while ago.
"Did you hurt yourself?" Not only did Julien not blame Silvia for pinching his face, he had even taken the initiative to ask about Silvia's injury. This was the first time that he had ever cared about someone whom he had only met twice.
"It's just a minor scratch. It's not a big deal." Silvia's heart was softened upon hearing Julien's thoughtful words. If Andrew were to make any requests to her now, she would not refuse any one of them at all.
In fact, she was not trying to comfort Julien at all when she said that her wounds were not a big deal. She had been involved in fights ever since she was a child, so she was used to getting injured. Therefore, as it went on, her skin had become relatively thicker and such a minor injury really would not bother her at all.
Hearing that it was just a minor injury, Julien did not ask any more questions.
"By the way, Ronan, do you have any photos of your brother?" As soon as she asked, Silvia could see that a wary look immediately appeared on Julien's face, so she hurriedly explained, "I went to the management office just now and they said that there was no one who goes by the name Simon Carter. The only owner with the surname Carter is the owner of this house. Since that is the case, I thought that I could post your brother's picture on the Internet and we could ask the netizens to help us to look for him. I believe that we will be able to find him way faster than just us going around looking for him."
"We don't have his photos though..." If Julien really gave Silvia Andrew's photos, they would be exposed at that instant. He was not that idiotic to do so.
However, he felt that this beautiful woman in front of him shared the same shortcomings with many other pretty women. They were beautiful yet foolish.
The staff at the management office had already told her that there was only one owner with the surname Carter. On top of that, both he and Levi also shared the same surname. How did she not get suspicious about it at all?
