Joshua leaned against the wall and said with a smile, “I don’t have the experience of caring for a child before, but I feel like I’ll be a great caretaker to

her.”

Xander looked at Winnie, hesitated for a while, and raised his hand. “I’ll go with Uncle Joshua.”

Joshua’s smile suddenly disappeared.

He mused, “Why did I get myself involved? If this goes on, how am I supposed to continue with my plan?”

On the other side, Xander calmly put down his hand and looked at Winnie seriously. “Mom, Dad didn’t mean to hide the matter regarding Laura from you. I am willing to atone for him. You should take good care of Laura and make sure she’s all right, okay? Please trust me.”

Winnie frowned, feeling slightly moved by Xander’s words.

However, it was only momentarily. She quickly regained her senses. “All right. Then you two will be in charge of that. I will discuss the compensation and accident–related matters with the production team now. Follow me, Robert.”

Robert touched Laura’s head worryingly before turning around to leave.

Winnie snapped at Antonio. “You are going with me too.”

Like an outcast, Antonio glanced at Laura quietly before walking off.

As soon as they came to the corridor, Winnie stated in a deep voice, “You saw it for yourself. She has been bullied by others all this while. Just because everyone thinks she is an orphan without wealth or power, her mere existence in our circle makes others think it’s okay to bully her. So I’ve made up my mind. After Laura recovers, I will officially hold a banquet for her and introduce her to upper–class society. Then I will declare that she is our child. The reason why she wasn’t here before this was that she lived overseas with her grandparents. You’re attending the banquet with me and will be known as her dad publicly. But privately, she will still refer to you as Mr. Smith.”

Antonio felt that it was harsh for Laura to call him “Mr. Smith.” He replied, “Winnie, I…”

Winnie raised her hand and looked at him mercilessly. “Antonio, you will never know how important Lilian is to me. I’m not only mad at you but at Louis too. I don’t have anything against you, okay? You must be sincere if you want me to forgive you for treating Laura fairly. Until the day you really think of her as your daughter and are willing to be her father, then we will discuss this issue again!”

Robert and Louis of the Yale family, with Xander and Everett had mixed feelings when they heard Winnie’s words as they walked over.

Winnie saw through them. “I know you guys think it’s humiliating for our family to have Laura as Lilian’s daughter! But to me, she is my only sister’s daughter. Zealyn lives on in her. I cannot imagine how you guys treated her when I didn’t know the truth!”

Louis frowned guiltily and wanted to say something.

Winnie raised her hand to stop him. “Don’t lie. I hate listening to lies.”

They were dumbfounded and lowered their heads guiltily.

Winnie looked at them sarcastically. “I will forgive you guys when you realize you were truly wrong. Of course, if you don’t care whether I forgive you or not, it doesn’t matter to me because I don’t need you guys either, just like you guys don’t need Lilian. I’m not one to be messed with!”

The others were stunned and said in horror, “Winnie!”

Louis said sadly, “We grew up together. We are your brothers!”

Winnie coldly turned her head away with tears in her eyes. “So what? It doesn’t matter whether we are biological siblings or have the same parents.

Lilian died because of us! Does that mean Lilian is not your biological sister?”

She held back her tears, continuing, “We are all responsible for Lilian’s death. Since I don’t have the chance to apologize to her, I will make sure I make up for my mistake by giving her daughter what she needs. If you guys lie to me again by using Laura as a shield, I will never talk to you people ever again!”

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.

Robert glanced at them. “To be honest, Laura is not that annoying. But don’t rush it. Take your time.”

He followed Winnie and left the hospital with her.

In a daze, Antonio stood in the corridor destitutely and watched Winnie walk away as if his soul had left his body. After a few moments, he followed her, taking a few big strides.

Three hours later, the people left the ward one after another. Zayn was the last to leave.

There were only three people left in the room.

Xander and Laura looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Laura grabbed the quilt awkwardly.

She didn’t understand why Xander stayed behind to take care of her when he didn’t like her to begin with.

Looking at her casually, Xander said awkwardly, “I’ll… get you something to eat!”

Laura nodded, lying on the bed with her chest facing down. After a while, drowsiness hit her, and she fell asleep.

Joshua sat on the couch with his leg crossed and suddenly put down the phone in his hand.

“Laura?” he called out.

Laura’s breath was steady, and there was no answer from her.

He stepped forward and shook her awake. “Lala, do you have a passport?”

A sleepy Laura couldn’t get her eyes open even though she knew Joshua was talking to her. She nodded her head in a blurred state. “Yes.”

Joshua probed, “Where is it?”

She murmured with her eyes closed, “It’s with Ms. Quinn.”

Joshua nodded, smiling wickedly. “Do you want to leave with me? I have a lot of pretty dresses. Go with me to a business discussion today, and I’ll bring you to see Sailor Moon at Rodunst tomorrow, okay?”

Laura was so sleepy that she simply nodded. “Okay…”

She thought, “I will agree to everything if he stops talking to me.”

Excitement filled Joshua as he helped Laura wear her shoes and clothes. He carried her and left.

When Xander returned after buying food, he found the ward empty, with some people tidying up the bedding.

Surprised, he asked, “Where’s the patient?”

The janitor replied, “This child has been discharged from the hospital. Her family has just handled the discharge procedures for her

Xander was confused.

He wondered, “Did Uncle Joshua run off with Laura while I was out getting fruit salad, snacks, pierogi, and grilled sausage? Oh my. Can he not cause more trouble?”

At this time, Joshua was excitedly running toward the underground garage with Laura in his embrace.

He mused, “Yays! She’s mine! She’s mine now! I’ve always hoped to have a fun playtime with a cute little girl, and now my wish hos though I ended up with Laura, who is not my favorite, at least she’s cute and will definitely meet my need to dress her up prettily of hers, I will definitely get the perfect dressed–up doll that I want. Hence, I’m going to bring her overseas with me for two days! He

Joshua rushed over to his car with Laura in his embrace. He was about to open the car door when a Maybach suddenly stopped before

He frowned vigilantly and touched his waist subconsciously.

However, the window on the opposite car slowly rolled down to reveal Zayn’s calm face.

“Mr. Joshua Yale, may I know where you are taking Laura sneakily?”
