That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

After much deliberation, Lily fumbled for her phone and called Emma.

On the other end, Emma picked up. “Emma, what’s wrong?”

Emma’s voice was filled with unease. “Madam, could you come over? My arm hurts terribly, and I’m really scared…”

Lily immediately agreed. “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”

With that, she got up, changed clothes, and strode out the door.

After getting into the car, she suddenly realized that Victor should be with Emma at this moment, yet Emma had called her instead.

“Where’s Victor? Isn’t he with you?” Lily asked, puzzled.

Emma’s voice sounded a bit aggrieved. “I don’t know. Maybe he’s working overtime. I was afraid to disturb him, so I didn’t call. My parents aren’t answering either, so I had to trouble you.”

Lily reassured her repeatedly. “It’s okay. You got hurt saving me, so it’s only right that I take care of you. Wait at the hospital, I’ll be there soon.”

Emma agreed.

After hanging up, Lily coldly dialed Victor’s number.

It was so late, she didn’t believe Victor was still working.

Victor had just finished talking with Sophia and had seen her to her room. As he stepped out, he received Lily’s call.

“Where are you? Still not off work?” Lily’s voice carried a hint of probing.

Victor almost immediately guessed the reason for her call and rubbed his temples in frustration. “I’m off work. Sophia wasn’t feeling well today, so I’m staying with her.”

Hearing that Sophia was unwell, Lily’s tone softened considerably. “How is Sophia now?”

Victor replied, “Much better than this afternoon. She just fell asleep.”

Lily pressed on, “Hasn’t she been fine these past few days? What happened today?”

Thinking about what had upset Sophia, Victor was silent for a few seconds before giving a perfunctory answer. “Maybe it’s just a relapse.”

He then added in a serious tone, “Dr. Everett said Sophia needs parental companionship right now. So I can’t go to the hospital. If needed, I can hire a top-notch caregiver for her.”

Lily frowned in disapproval. “In that case, why not bring Sophia to the hospital to bond with Emma? Emma, as a woman, is more sensitive to children’s emotions and would take better care of her.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Victor’s voice turned cold. “Sophia doesn’t need to bond with Emma, and the hospital environment isn’t good for her mental health.”

He thought he had made it clear last time at the cafe that he wouldn’t marry Emma.

Yet, despite his clear stance, Lily still hadn’t given up.

Feeling slightly irritated, Victor furrowed his brow and, before Lily could respond, said coldly, “Emma’s injury has mostly healed. I’ll send a caregiver tomorrow. If you want to oversee things yourself, I have no objections.”

Lily was taken aback by his icy tone and opened her mouth to retort but hadn’t managed to say anything when Victor’s voice came again.

“Sophia just woke up, I need to check on her. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Without waiting for her response, the line went dead with a busy signal.
