Chapter 436
Francine and Briar soon arrived at the hospital Renee was at.
Liam had to handle some matters regarding Azure Group, so Renee was the only one present in the
ward at the time. She was currently on a video call with her daughter. "Abby, is your brother still busy
with his research? Is that why he won't see Mommy?"
’Yes, Mommy. Adie is very focused on his research, so he can't have any distractions. You might not
see him for a while..."
'Not even for a second?" Renee poked Abby's adorable cheek on her screen, pouting. "Abby, please...
Just secretly point the camera at Adie, okay? Let Mommy see your brother for a bit!"
"No no!" Abby shook her head profusely, seemingly determined. "Abby pinky -promised Adie that I
won't let anyone see him before his research is successful! I want to keep my promises, or else my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnose will grow long like Pinocchio's!"
’Ah, okay then..." Renee sighed, as she had failed once again. Her heart always naturally melted in
front of her two babies, no matter how powerful and skilled she was.
The little ones had many ideas, and they were even more stubborn than she was. That was why she
wouldn't even be able to force them if they refused.
However, under Margeret's care, along with the isolation on Sun Island and the advanced security
system, she wasn't all that worried.
"Mommy, does your leg still hurt? Abby will give you kisses so you can get better soon..." Abby said
sweetly, blowing kisses at the camera.
"Oh my sweet Abby, how are you so cute! I think I'm completely cured now because of your kisses!'
Renee felt her heart melting, and she wished she could recover soon so she could bring her children
back to the city.
"Come here and give Mommy another kiss. Mwah mwah!" Renee puckered up her lips as well, kissing
her phone over and over again.
At the same time, Francine barged into the room with the bouquet of lilies in her hand, and seeing
Renee do that stunned her.
’You..." She gulped, her expression rather awkward. "Did I come at the wrong time?"
"Huh?" Renee held onto her phone, still maintaining her kissy face as her entire body stiffened. She
had never expected Francine to enter her ward!
"Mommy, who's there? Are you going to introduce them to Abby? Abby loves making new friends!"
On the other end of the line, the little girl, who was truly a social butterfly, begged for her mother to
introduce this new 'friend' to her.
"Bye for now, baby!" Renee quickly hung up and took a deep breath, remaining as calm as she could.
"It's been a while, Miss Milford."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrancine narrowed her eyes, staring at Renee's phone that she had just put down. "Who were you
calling? Why did I hear someone calling you Mommy?
'You must be getting old, Miss Milford. Your hearing must be deceiving you ... Were you hallucinating?"
"Impossible!" Francine seemed absolutely certain. "My hearing is completely fine! I'm sure I heard a
little girl calling you Mommy... Could you have given birth in secret when you disappeared four years
ago?"
"Uhm..."
Just as Renee was having trouble thinking of an excuse, Briar spoke up while standing next to
Francine.
"Miss Francine, you did mishear Miss Everheart! She was clearly talking to her friend just now. Don't
you know that it's a trend for girls to talk in sweet voices like that now? Am I right, Miss Everheart?
