Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 358: The twins learn that Melody’s eyes are blind...
As Adrian started to speak, the call was connected by Benjamin Parker.
Benjamin called out "Daddy," and suspiciously asked, "Do you know something else?"
Adrian smiled and spoke directly, "Darling, daddy was just talking to mommy."
With that sentence, the call fell silent.
On the other end of the call, Benjamin was stunned for a long while before he reacted, incredulous yet unable to contain his excitement, saying, "Daddy, what did you just say? Were you talking to mommy? Did I hear that right? Did you really find mommy?"
Hearing this string of questions, Melody Parker couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes.
She softly called into the phone, "Darling..."
"Mommy, it really is mommy!" Benjamin shouted excitedly, then turned to look at Daniel Davies, who had just woken up in the hospital bed, and shouted loudly, "Brother, it’s mommy! It’s mommy!"
Yes, when Adrian called, Daniel was sleeping.
But upon hearing Benjamin’s exclamation, "Mommy, it really is mommy!", Daniel, who was sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Listening to Benjamin’s excited voice, he sat up immediately from the hospital bed.
"Mommy, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Darling really misses you!" Benjamin asked tearfully, inquiring about Melody Parker’s condition, expressing his longing.
Melody laughed, but there was also a hint of tears in her laughter, "Darling, mommy is fine, not hurt. Your friend Kaleb saved mommy, and mommy misses you too!"
Meanwhile, Daniel had already turned over and gotten out of bed.
Seeing Daniel’s actions, Benjamin immediately exclaimed, "Brother, how did you..."
The rest of Benjamin’s words were left unsaid, as he received a signal from his brother: Don’t let mommy know I got hurt!
He closed his mouth but quickly moved towards Daniel.
Actually, when the phone rang, fearing to disturb Daniel’s rest, Benjamin had taken his small phone far away before answering the call.
He walked back while hoarsely saying, "Mommy, brother wants to talk to you."
Benjamin moved the phone away from his ear and directly pressed the speaker button, placing it in front of Daniel.
As the speaker was activated, Melody’s gentle voice came through the phone, "Daniel, it’s mommy. Mommy misses you both very much."
Daniel’s already reddened eyes immediately had tears rolling down, "Mommy..."
Melody cried even harder.
But she tried hard to suppress herself, not letting herself cry out loud, softly saying, "Be good, darling. Mommy is here, mommy is fine, you don’t need to worry."
Benjamin rubbed his eyes filled with tears and asked into the phone, "Mommy, when are you and daddy coming back?"
He really misses mommy, misses her very much.
This time, Adrian answered Benjamin’s question, "Daddy and mommy have some matters in Europe. Once things are sorted out here, we’ll come back immediately."
...
This call lasted a long time.
Melody chatted with her two darlings for a long time.
However, they all tacitly avoided mentioning things that would worry each other. Melody didn’t tell her darlings she was temporarily blind, and the darlings didn’t tell Melody that after she was taken away, Daniel suffered a gunshot wound.
Knowing all this, Adrian similarly didn’t want either party to know about the other’s injuries.
Melody remained in the dark, but Benjamin and Daniel might not be.
After ending the call with daddy and mommy, Benjamin and Daniel couldn’t rest easy.
Eventually, the brothers decided that Benjamin would contact Barrett Carter to find out the real situation of mommy.
Deciding quickly, Benjamin immediately sent Barrett a text message.
[Barrett, why didn’t you inform me immediately when you found mommy? Also, is mommy hurt? Remember, I want the truth!]
At that moment, Barrett was in the room, rubbing medicinal liquor.
Upon hearing the phone ring, he immediately picked up the phone to check.
Seeing the content, he realized he was just too happy, assuming Adrian would notify the darlings, so he hadn’t contacted them to let them know he’d found Melody.
Barrett stopped rubbing the medicinal liquor and replied to Benjamin’s message.
[Sorry, boss. It was my oversight; I thought Director Davies would inform you.]
Ping, Benjamin received the message.
Seeing Barrett avoiding the subject, his apprehension deepened.
He quickly typed out and sent a new message.
[I’m asking if mommy is hurt??? Speak the truth!!! Or else, you won’t call me boss again!!!]
Seeing Benjamin’s sent message, Barrett was stunned.
He hadn’t informed Benjamin about Melody because he thought she might temporarily not want the darlings to know about her injuries, which was partly why he hadn’t reached out to Benjamin earlier, fearing he’d ask about the situation and say something he shouldn’t. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
But it still couldn’t be avoided now.
Helpless, Barrett could only tell the truth tactfully.
[Miss was slightly hurt, but it’s temporary, and it’ll be cured soon.]
Just as the message was sent, a new message came in.
It was Benjamin’s follow-up question.
[What kind of small injury? No hiding!]
Barrett pondered over his wording and replied.
[Temporary blindness, and now Director Davies is having Dr. Tannis look into it; Miss’s eyes will be fine.]
Seeing this message, Benjamin understood everything.
No wonder during the call, when he suggested a video call with mommy, she changed the topic; she really was hurt.
Benjamin felt immense heartache.
He looked at Daniel and said with a frown, "Brother, mommy’s eyes are hurt; she’s blind."
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat, his little face furrowed as he said, "Daddy will cure mommy!"
"Yeah." Benjamin nodded, "He certainly will!"
After speaking, he looked at Daniel, "Brother, let’s go find daddy and mommy once you’re better."
...
Meanwhile, in Europe.
After ending the call with the darlings, Adrian lifted Melody for a meal downstairs.
Melody refused, "Adrian, I can walk myself."
"Melody, I like it when you call me Adrian." As he said this, Adrian disregarded Melody’s opposition and lifted her up, "Until you recover, I will be your eyes."
Melody wrapped her arms around Adrian’s neck, her cheeks unknowingly blushed, "But my legs are fine, I can walk."
Adrian carried Melody, walking steadily downstairs, "I like holding you; in this life, you are the only woman I will hold."
PS: Later on, Adrian would embarrass himself greatly, for not long in the future, he wouldn’t just hold Melody, he’d also hold another important person in his life. Oh, well, a little girl should be more precise.
