Chapter 40
When Angela and Charlic po
to the hospital, Carmine was hooked up to an IV.
Danielle stayed by the bed, her normally cheerful face now somber.
Carmine was softly reassuring Danielle.
Danielle saw Angela and Charlie’s sad faces and burst into tears.
“Mom, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to that seafood place. I shouldn’t have always tried to get a bargain.”
Danuelle sobbed and blamed herself for everything.
Angela picked her up, wiped her tears with a tissue, and comforted her gently. “It’s not your fault, sweetie. The restaurant put shrimp in the soup”
But Danielle kept crying, “But Carmine’s face looked like a smashed pumpkin! He’s so ugly and in so much pain.
Angela tried not to laugh. At this moment. Danielle was still fussing about Carmine’s looks.
She looked over at Carmine, who was laughing and crying at the same time. His head wound was bandaged, and the swelling from the allergies had gone down a lot, making his breathing easy.
Angela didn’t ugly”

depressing, nor did she want Danielle to keep feeling guilty. So she joked, “Carmine, Danielle says you’re
Carmine quickly grabbed his phone, opened the front camera, and looked at himself carefully. Then he said to Danielle, “No way, I’m so handsome that I love myself!”
Carmine’s choppy accent finally made Danielle stop crying. She sniffled and corrected him to speak it right.
“Oh, Carmine said, as if he had realized it. “I’ve learned something new again!”
The mood became lighter.
Angela then asked Carmine how he was feeling, if his head wound had been stitched up.
Charlie had been sitting quietly by the bed the whole time, but now he spoke up, “Carmine, are you still hurting?”
Carmine shook his head and said, “Everything is OK, I even don’t need to stay in the hospital”
Danielle, however, said in Angela’s arms, “Carmine is lying! The doctor said he has to stay in the hospital for observation today and have a brain
scan tomorrow.”
Carmine was helpless. He loathed being in the hospital. He couldn’t stand the scent of disinfectant that filled the hospital.
But Danielle was really on top of things and remembered the doctor’s instructions. He tried to tb but was caught in the act.
Angela understood Carmine’s feelings. No one wants to stay in the hospital, including herself.
But head injuries are serious, so she decided to convince Carmine to stay.
Charlie pulled on Angela’s sleeve, “Mom, can I take Danielle to wash her face?”
Angela looked at the dirty face of Danielle in her arms and put her down. “Okay, wash your face and play nearby. Don’t wander off too far The two little ones promised and went out hand in hand.
Only then did Angela ask Carmine, “You didn’t tell Mr. List that you came to Darsonas this ti

Carmine got caught again.
He covered his head and yelled, “Oh, my head hurts-”
Angela
was startled by him and said anxiously, “Are you okay! I’ll call a doctor for you!”
When Carmine heard that Angela had to call a doctor, he had to let go of his hands and said somewhat sheepishly. “Angela, no need to call a doctor 1. I’m okay.”
“Well then, Carmine, you actually lied to me! Tell me, why did you sneak away from Mr. Lin?”
Angel pretended to be stem.

Carmine’s eyes were a bit shafty, but he said. ‘I missed you guys and was afraid he wouldn’t agree. So I just snuck out”
Actually, he wanted to say more than that,
Charlie felt blue as he waited in the DNA testing center.
His small face was tight and expressionless.
Danielle also sensed something was wrong with Charlie and changed from chatty to standing quietly next to him
The machine at the testing center printed out the thin testing report, and two chubby little hands reached for it at the same time.
Charlie picked up the testing report and went straight to the last column. The biological relationship between sample one and sample two wi
99.99%
He crumpled the report into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Danielle became anxious. “Charlie, I haven’t finished reading it yet! Is Pierre our dad?”
Charlie said calmly, “No.”
He didn’t want that kind of man as his dad: Just now, at the restaurant, his biological dad even helped that bad woman bully his mom!
Unaware of the situation, Danielle was a bit disappointed. “Ah? Not him! But I really like Wilfred and Mrs. Louise.”
Charlie comforted her, “Liking them has nothing to do with Pierre”
He thought of Danielle’s hope for a dad and continued, “Danielle, why don’t we find mom a husband: Then we’ll have a dad too.”
Danielle thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay, Charlie. But what if this dad doesn’t like us?”
“Those who aren’t into us are barking up the wrong tree. They don’t stand a chance to be our dad
Not even the biological father!
Charlie said coldly without expression, his grip on Danielle’s hand unconsciously tightening
Danielle looked up at Charlie with admiration in her eyes, feeling a mix of awe and respect. He was so awesome!
Meanwhile, hearing that two of his grandkids had been picked up by their mom, Wilfred’s face turned sour in Sunny Kindergarten
Didn’t Angela know that kindergarten was a boarding school?
What was Ms. Kendrick thinking? Did she not care about the school’s rules and regulations? How could she let someone get away with the kids so smoothly?
Ms. Kendrick was sweating bullets, foreseeing a potential custody battle brewing
Ah, the troubles of the elite.
Although those two little rascals had promised to call Wilfred, she couldn’t punish them for breaking their words and could only simply have to let it slide.
Ms. Kendrick was breathless with anxiety.
Pierre was the only one Kimberly could see at the restaurant. She affectionately gazed at him with a tender smile.

Kimberly knew that her uncle was only the nominal head of the restaurant, while her mom was the real boss.
Pierre’s presence was most likely due to her mom’s influence.
Mr. Hardy was even more obsequious, trying to please everyone.
But Pierre simply replied. “No need

Kimberly immediately sent her cousin to check which room Pierre was in. She was determined to make her presence known and propose a toast to

that
Mr. Lautner saw that he had no further business there and left with his men. He couldn’t help but believe now that Mr. Hardy’s previous claim th Pierre was his cousin–in–law was true.
At the very least, Mr. Hardy’s cousin had some kind o
of relationship with the most powerful man in Tervais
But had he offended Mr. Hardy with his actions today? He felt uneasy
In Room 218, a man with thick black–rimmed glasses greeted Pierre warmly as they sat down to eat.
“Nice to meet you again, Mr. Louise”
After a quick chat, they seated themselves, and the dishes started to appear.
The man with glasses held up his glass and toasted. Thank you, Mr. Louise, for your kindness at the Dusone auction“”
“A gentleman doesn’t take someone else’s love,” Pierre replied, raising his own glass.
He
e then added casually, “As far as I know, the Galaxy belongs to its rightful owner now, doesn’t it!”
