After breakfast, Violette dropped the two kids off at kindergarten.
It was Ian who suggested that he and his sister go to kindergarten together. That way, mom wouldn't have to pick them up and drop them off.
Albina's death seemed to have changed nothing, yet at the same time, everything had changed.
"Violette, winter's over," Mike said, driving onto the main road. "All the bad stuff is behind us! Starting today, we'll have nothing but good luck every day."
Violette stared at him blankly, "Can you speak like a normal person?"
Mike cleared his throat, "I know you're still gonna be sad for a long time, but we have to focus on the future. There are more good things and people waiting for you."
Violette said, "Just drive."
Mike turned on the car stereo.
Violette thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mike, thank you."
"Huh?" Mike turned off the music.
"Thanks for helping me take care of the kids during this time." Violette said.
"Why are you being so polite all of a sudden? Your kids are my kids too. Even if your mom wasn't here, or even if you weren't here, I'd still raise them well!" Mike said passionately.
Violette looked at him meaningfully.
He explained further, "You know what I mean."
Violette hummed.
Meanwhile, at the Bourne family home.
"What do you mean 'as long as I'm happy'? That's your son!" Grace said/
"Did you ever get my permission to give birth to him?" Elijah's expression was cold, "I don't want to hurt anyone, but that doesn't mean you can hurt me without restraint."
The photo in Grace's hand suddenly fell to the floor.
An hour later, his mother was driven away by the chauffeur.
The house was silent.
Elijah glanced at the time, it was almost noon. At that moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from the family doctor, "Elijah! Do you know Kylee?! Two years ago, he was paralyzed and unconscious due to a performance accident. But now, miraculously, he's recovered!"
Elijah's heart raced, his voice trembling, "Who cured him?! Do you know who his doctor is?!"
