Chapter 180
At this thought, Alaric remembered the previous incident when he had added Nicole
and Nathan’s mother’s contact information. As he didn’t reply, they lost touch with
each other.
They wanted to avoid accepting the money he sent as a reward. Are they afraid I will
continue to send them money if they continue to live stream? So, they just stop live
streaming altogether? But what if… I gave them my card number?
Alaric indeed liked those two little kids. Although they didn’t live stream frequently,
they always managed to dispel the darkness in his life.
The two kids were adorable. Over the past year, watching them had become a habit
for Alaric.
He hadn’t found anything else that could replace them in relieving his mood. If they
stop live streaming because of this…
In an instant, various thoughts on how to resolve the situation crossed his mind.
However, before he could indulge in his wild thoughts for long, Nathan in the live
stream corrected Nicole.

“It’s not that we won’t live stream anymore in the future. It’s just that we’re moving,
so we won’t live stream until we’re settled in our new place.”
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded along. “We’re moving.”
After hearing that they were just moving and not discontinuing their live streams,
Alaric finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were just moving.
He clicked on their homepage to check their IP addresses and found out they were
abroad.
He was taken aback when he saw that the location matched his current
whereabouts.
He never specifically checked where these two kids lived before. This time, while on
a business trip abroad, he naturally didn’t realize that they were in the same area as
him.
However, they might not be in the same city considering the vast size of the country.
As a result, numerous people in the live stream were asking where they were
moving to. However, the two kids were clever and didn’t disclose their exact

address. They only mentioned that they might return to Corynthea.
Б
A thought flickered in his mind upon hearing they were returning to Corynthea. Their
native language was Corynthean, so there was no need to say much about where
they could be.
Strangely, Alaric had the fleeting thought that if they returned to Corynthea, he
could pick them up, but he quickly suppressed the thought as soon as it emerged.
To them, he was just an audience who sent them rewards online. If he randomly
offered to pick them up, they would probably consider him a weirdo or think that he
had mental issues.
The live stream had already ended when Terrance came to look for him. Alaric had
just put away his phone when he heard Terrance say, “Mr. Cadogan, it’s time for your
to take your medication.”
Alaric pursed his lips and ignored him.
After a moment of silence, Alaric still remained indifferent, so Terrance reminded
him again, “Mr. Cadogan, please take your medication.”
Finally, Alaric glanced at him reluctantly. “Do you have nothing better to do?”

“I’m busy.” Terrance walked up to him directly, opened the drawer, and took out the
gastric medicine from inside. He then poured a cup of warm water for Alaric. “But
right now, my top priority is to remind you to take your medication. Please take it.”
Alaric was dumbfounded.
He looked at Terrance, who was even more exasperating than Peter. He couldn’t
figure out why he had agreed to let Peter’s cousin become his assistant in the first
place.
“Mr. Cadogan? Mr. Cadogan, the water is warm. With this weather, if you leave it for
a while, you’ll have to drink cold water. Please take your medicine now. Your health
requires it.” Terrance’s mannerisms were such that he was about to force–feed the
medicine to Alaric.
He wouldn’t have dared to behave this way toward Alaric a few days ago.
However, Alaric’s mother got furious during the phone call when she heard that his
stomach ailment flared up when he was attending a conference.
“Terrance, starting today, I’ll double your salary. Your other job is to make sure Mr.
Cadogan takes his medication. Don’t worry. If he dares to have any objections
toward you, tell him it was my decision for you to do this. If he’s unhappy with you

asking him to take his medication, then he is unhappy with me too. Feel free to call
and complain to me.”
With Mary backing him up, what did Terrance have to fear? It was like borrowing the
tiger’s might to scare others. He had to make sure Mr. Cadogan took his medicine.
The best thing was he only had to remind him to take it and could receive double
the salary. Wasn’t this great?
“Mr. Cadogan, if you don’t take the medicine, it will be hard for me to explain when
Mrs. Cadogan calls.”
As soon as Terrance finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze and immediately felt a
chill down his spine.

It was at this moment that he realized that even with Mary’s support, Alaric was still
her son. If he became too arrogant and complacent, Terrance would undoubtedly be
the one to suffer in the end.
However, Terrance was pleasantly surprised by Alaric’s subsequent behavior. It was
because he took the medicine and even drank the cup of warm water that Terrance
had poured for him. He then placed the cup heavily on the table, making a loud
sound.

“Satisfied?”
6/8
Terrance quickly nodded and bowed. He then expressed his satisfaction and quickly
left.
After Terrance left, Alaric seemed to have thought of something and took out his
phone. He looked at the screen that showed the finished live stream and pursed his
thin lips.
He wondered when the next live stream would be and hoped it would be sooner
rather than later.
“Is the live stream over?” Victoria just finished packing some things into a bag when
she saw the two kids walking in with their phones.
“Yes, Mommy.” Nathan obediently handed the phone to her.
“Did you tell everyone that you won’t be live streaming for a while?”
“Yes, Mommy. We’ve told everyone.”
