Chapter 898 - 924: Irreplaceable (2)
Maeve turned her head to glance at him, then suddenly hopped off him.
Caiden Ward only then noticed that his pants were smeared with dirt, and he smiled helplessly, "I’m used to this."
"But you can’t spoil her too much." Mia Ginger raised her hand to pull Maeve’s wrist, pulling her into her arms, and smiled lightly, "Once in first grade, you’re a big kid, you can’t just snuggle in someone’s arms all the time."
"Fine." Maeve pouted, "Then put the flower crown on me."
Mia Ginger smiled and placed the flower crown on her head.
Clinging to her arm and nestled in her embrace, Maeve asked Caiden Ward expectantly, "Is it pretty?"
"Pretty!" Caiden Ward nodded seriously with a smile.
Maeve giggled, "Hehe, I think this flower crown is so pretty too. Sister Mia made it, I love it."
Caiden Ward: "..."
A flower crown?
His gaze wasn’t on the flower crown at all, he just thought the little girl was beautiful.
However—
The girl he raised, could she not be beautiful?
Caiden Ward relaxed as he leaned back on the sofa, loosened his collar, and gazed up at the drifting white clouds in the sky, feeling at ease.
Maeve couldn’t sit still for long and ran off to play with the Chancellor again.
Watching her run away, Caiden Ward finally turned to Mia Ginger and said, "Odin Myres got into a car accident, I saw him at the hospital, the situation looks grim, Louis Cox probably doesn’t have time to come pick up the girl, I’ll take her with me later."
Mia Ginger was stunned, "A car accident?"
"It’s not all from the car accident." Caiden Ward frowned, thinking as he spoke, "It looks like he was shot in the abdomen, his head was injured, and one arm and a leg were broken, covered in blood."
"Is his life in danger?" Mia Ginger asked softly.
"When the ambulance got to the hospital, the kid was still awake, I ran into my cousin, he’ll probably be involved in the surgery, saving his life shouldn’t be a problem."
"Saving his life?" Mia Ginger chewed on his words.
"Yeah." Caiden Ward nodded, "His right foot is shattered."
Mia Ginger felt a jolt inside, and fell silent.
The scene of meeting Odin Myres last time floated into her mind, making her feel sad.
Such a pretty, delicate child, only twelve years old, already carrying such a heavy burden, what will he do next?
She rambled in her thoughts, overcome with pity.
Before long, Caiden Ward left with a tired Maeve.
Mia Ginger took out her phone to check the time and called Louis Cox.
Louis Cox answered quickly, his voice low, "Hello, what’s up?"
"I just wanted to ask how Odin is doing?" Mia Ginger pressed her lips together and said.
"He’s in surgery." Louis Cox’s voice was relatively calm, but Mia Ginger could feel his repressed anger. After a while, she gently consoled, "Blessed are those with a destiny, Odin should be fine."
Louis Cox sighed, "Caiden Ward took Maeve away?"
"Yeah."
"That’s good." Louis Cox fell silent.
Mia Ginger didn’t know what to say, hesitated for a long time, then said, "You take care."
"Mia?" Louis Cox suddenly called her.
Mia Ginger was stunned, holding the phone, and said softly, "I haven’t hung up yet."
"If," Louis Cox furrowed his brows, his voice low and slow, "If I got married, would you cut off contact with me?"
Mia Ginger: "..."
"Would you?" Louis Cox asked her again.
"Are you planning to get married? You didn’t mention it before." Mia Ginger smiled lightly, trying to appear relaxed.
