Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 148

Priscilla gripped him even tighter, her eyes full of fear and anxiety. “Do you really promise?”

She was afraid he would go back on his word.

Afraid this was all just a dream.

After all, that morning he hadn’t even been willing to walk her part of the way, leaving so coldly.

Wesley let out a laugh of exasperation. He wanted to say something sharp, but when he met her tear–filled eyes, his heart suddenly softened.

Forget it.

Why bother arguing with a woman?

Wesley comforted himself and said calmly, “Come with me.”

Priscilla immediately stood up. She instructed the nanny to take good care of Noah and followed Wesley out.

Wesley went to find the doctor and said he was willing to donate bone marrow to save Noah.

The doctor immediately had Wesley sign the forms and arranged a series of tests.

Throughout the whole process, Priscilla stayed by Wesley’s

side.

If Wesley showed even a hint of impatience, her eyes would fill with tears.

She looked rather pitiful.

After the tests, everything was fine except for the items that needed more time for results.

The doctor reminded them, “The child just had an episode and still needs some time to recover and be evaluated. Mr. Carlton, try not to stay up late, smoke, or drink during this period.”

“Understood,” Wesley nodded.

Leaving the doctor’s office, the two of them walked one after

the other.

Wesley turned around. “You…”

Priscilla was lost in thought and didn’t notice, bumping straight into his hard chest.

She let out an “Ah” and covered her forehead with her hand.

Wesley was both annoyed and amused. He took her hand away, revealing a red mark on her forehead.

“I’m fine,” Priscilla said, covering her forehead again.

The white shirt perfectly hid his muscular body, making him look tall and slender, not particularly muscular.

But she knew that he was solidly built all over.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After so many arguments, it seemed neither of them knew how to communicate normally anymore.

Until Priscilla hurriedly said, “I’ll go check on Noah.”

She left quickly.

Wesley watched her back, his eyes clouded with unreadable emotions.

He called Elijah.

“Look into the fire from three years ago.”

“I want to know the whole truth.”

Three years ago, a flower shop in Baritel that had been open for ten years caught fire in the middle of the night, killing two people.

One was the owner of the flower shop, Ms. Wilkinson, a woman in her fifties who was said to have come to Baritel specifically to retire.

The other was a woman who had just given birth not long before, Ms. Wilkinson’s adopted daughter.

The fire started quickly and burned fiercely. Since it broke out in the latter half of the night, by the time it was discovered, it was already too late to save anyone.

In the end, it was the friendly neighbors who took care of the funeral arrangements for the poor mother and daughter.

She sat in a daze for a while, then went to wash her face, her mind gradually becoming clear.

She stood for a bit longer, pushing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, before finally stepping out.

Luciano was standing by the bed, checking on their son.

“Did Wesley agree?” he asked, his expression complicated,

The doctor had called to inform him of the situation, and he had rushed back immediately.

Priscilla nodded.

Luciano felt conflicted. Priscilla was not Noah’s biological mother; she really didn’t have to do all this.

“Priscilla, did you agree to some condition of his again?”

Priscilla lowered her eyes and replied softly, “I just agreed to be with him, that’s all.”

Luciano thought it was cruel, because Priscilla had always tried to leave Wesley, yet now she was forced to be with him again.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you still love him?”

Love?

Priscilla silently repeated the word in her heart.

She gave a bitter smile.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Priscilla didn’t want to talk about this topic. She asked Luciano, “Do you have time? I want to take you to see Grandma”

“She and Lare very close, Grandma treats her like her own granddaughter” Priscilla added, “Just don’t mention Noah’s #ness Grandma doesn’t know yet”

Luciano agreed.

He instructed the nanny to take good care of Noah, then left. with Priscilla.

Out in the corridor, Wesley was just about to come in.

The two men ran into each other, both recalling their previous fight, and their expressions soured.

But thinking of his son, Luciano lowered his head first. “Thank you.”

Those two simple words carried all the gratitude of a father.
