Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 800:

When Lawrence woke up, his reaction was starkly different from Lindsay’s. He opened his eyes slowly, scanning the room with the calmness of an adult. Seeing Connor and Marissa, with Lindsay in her arms, he offered a small smile and let out a sigh of relief.

His resilience profoundly impressed Marissa and Connor, stirring a mix of admiration and pity within them. Though he usually mimicked Lindsay’s playful antics, this ordeal revealed Lawrence’s true character: a brave, clever, and formidable young boy.

Marissa put Lindsay into Connor’s arms and then sat beside Lawrence, checking his pulse and examining him with careful attention. Once reassured of his well-being, she whispered gently, “Lawrence, is your wound still painful?”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Lawrence replied faintly. “Mom, how’s Lindsay?”

Connor then sat beside Marissa, bringing Lindsay closer so Lawrence could see her easily. “Lindsay’s fine. She fell asleep after a little chat with us.”

Lawrence’s gaze fell on Lindsay, and his relief was palpable. “You’ve shown such bravery and wisdom, Lawrence. I’m so proud of you,” Marissa murmured, stroking his cheek.

“Mom, can Lindsay and I stop going to kindergarten?” Lawrence inquired. “I’m really scared that another bad guy might come and take us away. We want to stay close to you and Dad. We don’t want to be ZJ001 and ZJ002 anymore. At our old house, though Auntie was kind, there was a monster. It was quick to anger, shouting and striking. It hit both of us, and once, it threw Lindsay into the pool; she nearly drowned. That place was terrifying. We never want to go back!”

The children’s fears were identical; they dreaded being sent away from their parents to live as ZJ001 and ZJ002 again.

“You and your sister will never be taken away. I promise to protect you,” Marissa assured him. “From now on, you’ll stay home. Rita will teach you everything you need to know, so kindergarten isn’t necessary for now.”

Marissa had already decided this before Lawrence had awakened. With Rita protecting and taking care of the two children, she never worried about them, but she had not anticipated the danger that had infiltrated the kindergarten. Now, ensuring Rita’s constant presence with Lawrence and Lindsay was the only way to feel completely secure.

Rita, rich in knowledge, offered more than any kindergarten teacher could. She had initially sent the children to school to socialize and normalize their lives. Given the current risks, however, returning to kindergarten was no longer an option.

Reassured by his mother’s words, Lawrence, still weak, drifted off to sleep soon after. After a final check, Marissa turned to Connor. “Let’s take the children out of the hospital now. Lindsay is fine, and Lawrence can recuperate at home. I’ll handle his wound care myself.”

“Okay.” Connor immediately instructed Domenic to complete the discharge formalities. Then, each holding one of the children, Connor and Marissa exited the ward together.

Outside, to their surprise, stood Silver Fox and Burnet. Silver Fox had accompanied Marissa earlier and had decided to wait outside, choosing not to intrude while Marissa and Connor attended to the children, but she stayed nearby the entire time. Burnet had arrived later to keep Silver Fox company.

Until this moment, Marissa had been entirely absorbed with the children and hadn’t noticed Silver Fox or that Burnet was also present. When Silver Fox saw Marissa and Connor exiting the ward with the children, she immediately stood up. “Black Snake, how are the kids?”

“They’re doing well. We’re going to take them home,” Marissa responded. “You both should go back and rest. It troubles me that you’ve had to worry about us on the first day of your marriage.”

“As long as the children are alright,” Burnet replied, his smile warm. “Have you found out who’s behind this? Do you need any help from me?”noveldrama

“Thank you for offering. We’ve got it under control for now,” Marissa answered.

Burnet nodded respectfully, bid them a gentlemanly farewell, and left with Silver Fox. Marissa and Connor then returned to Daniels Manor with the children.

Once the children were comfortably settled, Marissa sent a message to Q. “What do you want from Tiffany’s children?”
