Chapter 1336 Life Can’t Get Any Better
Doris wondered if Waylon could be behind Lily’s disappearance. If it was him, then perhaps the thugs who had targeted her were sent by Lily. It seemed like a plausible theory.
Lily had always coveted Waylon. Now that he had suddenly married Doris, could it have infuriated Lily? If she was indeed enraged, her only way to vent her anger might be to seek revenge.
Doris shivered at the thought.
That said, she wasn’t worried about herself. After all, she had come out of the incident unscathed.
Her concern was for Lily.
Despite Waylon’s refined surface, he could be ruthless when it came to taking action. If Lily fell into his hands, who knew how he would handle her?!
With these worries in mind, Doris picked up her phone and called Waylon.
Waylon was currently at the Imperial Palace. The reconstruction project of the Imperial Palace was nearing completion, and the signboard had already been hung up. It bore the words “Adelmar Healthcare.”
When Waylon saw Doris’ call, he quickly answered, “Doris?”
“Waylon, have you locked Lily up?” Doris asked directly.
There was a slight pause on the other end before Waylon responded, “Don’t bother yourself with it.”
“So, you really have something to do with it?”
“I said, don’t bother yourself with it.”
“But, Waylon.” Doris grew increasingly anxious. “I don’t want you to get into trouble. Kidnapping is illegal! Besides, I’m fine now. Please release Ms. Thomas. I want our little family to live in peace.”
“Doris,” Waylon’s voice grew stern, “have you ever considered what might have happened that day if I hadn’t arrived in time?”
Doris hesitated, realizing that she might have faced a terrible fate at the hands of the criminal.
“Doris, sometimes being merciful doesn’t deter the other party. People like Lily, who dare to commit wrongdoing, need to be taught a lesson to prevent them from harming others in the future.”
“But, Waylon,” Doris said softly. “I’m worried about you.”
“You have nothing to worry about. I haven’t broken any laws, and the criminal has already confessed to Lily’s involvement. I just wanted her to experience some hardship before she goes to prison.”
Doris finally came around and nodded. “I understand, Waylon. I trust your judgment.”
“Alright.” Waylon said warmly. “Is your body still in pain?”
Doris blushed slightly and softly replied, “With your medication yesterday and a day’s rest. I feel much better today.”
“That’s good,” Waylon replied. “I’ll give you a maximum of three days of rest. I suggest you be on bed rest.”

“What? You…” Doris’ heart raced. She was so bashful that she couldn’t keep her head up anymore despite it being a phone call.
“My wife is too sweet,” Waylon said in a husky voice. “I’m already being very patient, giving you three days. Any longer, I’ll explode.”
“You scoundrel…” Doris whispered.
Waylon chuckled and ended the call happily.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Suddenly, the sweet voices of their son and daughter echoed from outside the door. The two little ones. could already walk and even speak simple words. They babbled every day, resembling adorable little angels, bringing immense joy to everyone.
The happiest part of Waylon’s day was coming home after finishing work to spend time with his wife and children.
Adelmar Healthcare would be fully established in a while. By then, he planned to bring Emmeline over to manage the operations while he would return to Adelmar Island with Doris and their twin children to enjoy life to the fullest.
Una and Nessa had already changed their surnames to Adelmar at this point.
Quoting Waylon, he wanted Doris to hurry up and get pregnant again and give him baby Adelmar number three and four. If he could have his way, he’d want ten children.
“Ten kids?! What am I, a breeding sow?!” Doris hit him playfully.
Waylon guffawed while spinning her around. With a wife and children, life couldn’t get any better.
“Coming!” Doris adjusted her loungewear and opened the bedroom door.
Una and Nessa rushed into her arms like two little penguins.
“Mommy, I want to play in the garden,” Nessa requested.
“Me too, Mommy,” Una echoed. “Take me and Nessa to the garden.”
“Ms. Doris,” Mrs. Flores smiled, “while Mr. Adelmar hasn’t returned yet, you should go out and enjoy the
sun too.”
Doris supported her slightly sore waist, her face blushing. “Let’s take Una and Nessa to the garden then.”
“Yay! Play in the garden!”
“The garden has flowers and fishies too!”
