Chapter 206 I Will Stand By Her Gael crouched down in front of the kids and seized their shoulders, trying to persuade them. “Kids, would you mind knocking on the door? Mr. Fox’s hand is bleeding, and I’d like to patch him up. As soon as Gael finished his words, Stanley opened the door and showed up in front of everyone. “Come in.” It turned out that he had heard the children’s voices, and he didn’t want to worry them. “Daddy!” “Hey,” Stanley responded. The children had no idea that their mother was already gone, so they asked worriedly, “How did you get hurt, Daddy?” While some parts of the wound had already begun to scab, the gory opening was still scary to behold. Nevertheless, Stanley didn’t answer the kids’ questions as he retreated into the room. Then, Gael picked his first-aid kit and headed inside with the kids. up Soon, Stanley sat down on the couch with a gloomy look on his face, though he was already doing his best to pull himself together. Meanwhile, Gael crouched down beside him and opened his first-aid kit, whereupon he began to sterilize the wound on his joints and knuckles.novelxo.com fast update “I’ll do my best to ease up on the pressure, sir” Gael was sympathetic. “Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. Stanley puckered his lips. After all, the pain he was enduring in his heart was nothing compared to the one on his knuckles, At the same time, the children stood by his side and bravely held Stanley’s hand while watching Gael tend to his wound. “How did you end up with this wound, Daddy? Did you get into a fight?” Samuel looked up confusedly. “Why did you lose the fight?” “Nah, I didn’t get into a fight. It was nothing like that.” Stanley caressed the children’s heads and gently asked, “Do you know where your mom went?” Upon hearing his words, the children exchanged gazes each other, puzzled. “Is she gone?” Pamela asked. “That soon?” Samuel commented. Stanley gently raised his eyebrows, having a glimmer of hope that the children might know where Melinda was. They seem to know where she is. “Mommy went on a trip, answered Samuel, making it seem like it was nothing serious at all. “Mommy asked us which of you we wanted to be with if she went somewhere else far for a trip.” with She was already hinting at the kids back then. Stanley’s heart sank when he heard that. “What did you guys tell her?” he asked in a low voice. “We understand you’ve been exhausted over the years, so it’s time for you to relax, Mommy. In that case, we’re going to let you have your vacation in peace!” “Yeah, we want to be with you, Daddy! We want you to play withExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

If Samuel and Pamela chose to go on the so-called trip with their mother, they would have been long gone with her, wouldn’t they? After Gael tended to his wound and patched it up, Stanley looked at him and said, “Take the kids to their room and tell Sherry to put them to sleep.” “Good night, Daddy!” The siblings obediently left with the butler after that. Much to Stanley’s surprise, Max entered the room. “Close the door,” he ordered gently. “Mr. Fox.” Max closed the door and walked toward Stanley. When he saw his bandaged hand, he asked worriedly. “Are you alright, sir? How did you get hurt?” “I’m fine. Have you found anything?” “novelxo.com fast updateNot at the moment. There aren’t any suspicious flights or bus boarding records thus far. Also, the security cameras around Emerald Harbor seemed to be acting up.” It’s obvious that someone intentionally sabotaged the cameras around the area. Stanley’s eyes turned cold once again. “Keep investigating the matter. I don’t care if we have to search every street and area in Riverdale, but I must find Melinda. No matter how overwhelming her problem may be, I will stand by her and never leave her to face it alone.” “I’m working on it.” Max let out a sigh and said, “Mr. Fox, Miss Fox sent me here to accompany you. She seems worried about you.” Worried about me, huh? Stanley somehow found that laughable, but he was too reluctant to react to Max’s words
