Amora was not aware that her careless mistake that night had put her at risk of exposure.
That night, she and the children had a ball during the time spent together.
The next day.
She had to go to work, so she woke the kids up early in the morning and sent them to preschool.
"Mommy, are you picking us up later in the afternoon?"
"Of course."
At the preschool entrance, Amora gently squatted down in front of her children.
She straightened out their clothes and caps to prevent them from catching a cold.
The three children were delighted to hear that their mommy would be picking them up after school.
lan asked, "Is Daddy coming?"
The question stunned Amora.
"What?"
Why does he mention Daddy all of a sudden? Does he want Daddy to fetch them? Amora looked at her eldest son quizzically.
Just then, Matteo interrupted.
"Oh! Mommy, what lan means is, can Daddy come to our house for dinner? We're not in Frontier Bay anymore.He'll be so lonely at home.He might even lose his appetite."
Amora tried to process what she had just heard.
For a while, she said nothing as she turned to look at Matteo.
His palm-sized face was flushed red all the way from the base of his ears.
These two scoundrels...
In the end, she agreed.
She promised her children that if their father came, she would not drive him away.
The kids strolled happily into the preschool after hearing that.
Once inside, they discussed among themselves.
Later in the afternoon, when school was out, lan would call Daddy first.
He would make up an excuse to get him to fetch them from preschool.
They were so smart! Half an hour later, at the hospital.
"Dr.Esme, you're here.You weren't on duty yesterday.There are several special cases waiting for you."
"Alright, I'm coming."
As Amora went into her consultation room to change into her uniform, she let the nurse who followed her inside place the medical records on the table.
Due to her good reputation, the hospital has made great efforts to promote her services to the public ever since her arrival.
After joining the team, she had treated quite a number of patients too.
So, gradually, many more of them had specifically requested to see her.
Amora put on her white coat and, after washing her hands, sat down at her desk.
"Wait a minute, who are you? You need an appointment to see Dr.Esme.You can't simply barge in here!"
She picked up the first medical record and was about to read it when, suddenly, she heard a quarrel coming from outside.
What's happening? She whipped her head around to see what was going on.
