Capter 23
The MPV continued to crawl along the congested highway after sending Courtney and her daughter home. Since it was the evening peak hour in Melrose Cily, there was a traffic jam on their way back.
Jordan would normally start to get a little agitated in such a situation, but he was oddly quiet that day. He held a crayon in his hand and was doodling on his tiny drawing board,
Meanwhile, Alexander was still in disbelief, he couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened at the
Japanese restaurant that afternoon. I guess it’s possible lor Jordan to take a liking toward Courtney because of how she had saved him once previously, but what about her daughter? Sure–that little girl may be lovable, but realso tried to get jordan to interact with my friends‘sons and daughters in the past, and he never seemed interested in any of them Right as he was caught up in his thoughts, Alexander felt a tug on his sleeve and quickly turned toward the children’s safety seat beside him. Jordan had lifted his drawing board up and turned it toward Alexander excitedly On the blank, while canvas he drew a man and woman holding the hands of a young child between them. The skies were blue, the grass was green, and the sun was a golden yellow color in the drawing; it was a beautiful sight to see

I wouldn’t have allowed to such a little life to be born alone in a scary world like this if I had known any better lot at people should know how important it is to have a complete and healthy family. With that thought in mind erst der gently stroked the young boy’s head. “Daddy’s going to find you a Mommy then.” Jordan’s eyes cu ved into a crescent, moon-like shape as he grinned joyfully.
“I took a look at the schools nearby, but their medical services aren’t that great None of the schools are close to a hospital either. I’m afraid that they might not be able to get help for Tina in time if she experiences an asthma attack” Courtney got on the phone with Cameron as soon as she arrived home. She had first met Cameron while overseas, and they shared the same, straightforward personalities. They got along extremely well, and Cameron even made Tina her goddaughter. Since Cameron was on a work trip abroad, Courtney asked if she could stay in Cameron’s house for the time being after she made the sudden decision to bring her daughter back to seek medical treatment.
On the other end of the phone, Cameron’s voice was filled with concern. “I‘ve looked it up as well; I have a distant relative who‘s working as a teacher in a private kindergarten, and the General Hospital is directly opposite their center. However, I didn’t tell you about this as their application procedure is extremely troublesome.”
“Is it really that troublesome?” Courtney asked. She was particular about the school’s medical services because of Tina’s illness-she was terrified of taking any risks as she was afraid that something bad might happen.
“Look, why don’t I send you their application brochure? You’ll know once you take a look at it, Cameron offered.
“Okayl“ Later that night, Courtney found hersell silently cursing in her heart as she stared at the brochure that just came out of her lax machine. This private kindergarten is so troublesome. Why do they need approval from the government authorities? Are all the kids in this school billionaires and celebrities? Courtney had a fitful night’s sleep over this matter, and she couldn’t stop yawning the whole afternoon while working at the hotel the next day.
“Come in Hearing the buzz of her intercom Courtney was a little surprised to see the person entering her room. It was Alexander’s assistant, Josh “What brings you here, Mr Reynolds?* Sunhill Enterprise was quite a distance away from the hotel that Courtney was working in, so it must have taken a while for Josh to travel over
“I had some work to do at the hotel and I thought I’d drop by to ask you about some stuff, Miss Hunter Josh sa d with a smile
“Go on”
