After resting in the hospital for a few days, Elizabeth was discharged from the hospital.
Vicki would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha every month on the first and fifteen days of the lunar month. Elizabeth was weak and insisted on accompanying Vicki. She was good at playing the card of bitterness.
She knew very well that Vicki was her ultimate backer. As long as she coaxed Vicki well, she was not afraid that Baron would not compromise.
There were many people coming to worship the Buddha in the temple. After Vicki finished her worship, she just walked out of the temple. A strange man rushed out from nowhere, with a gun in his hand. He pointed the gun at Vicki without saying anything.
The pilgrims in the temple thought he was holding a toy gun, so they didn't care. When they heard a gunshot, they realized it was a real gun.
"Mom, watch out!" Elizabeth rushed up desperately to protect Vicki and then fell to the ground.
Seeing her lying in the blood, Vicki was frightened and shouted, "help! Help!"
The bodyguards quickly surrounded, two of whom went to chase the murderer, and the rest called an ambulance to send Elizabeth to the hospital.
Vicki was deeply touched by Elizabeth's action. She felt grateful that her daughter-in-law had saved her life, and Baron was grateful that she had saved his mother. So he didn't mention the divorce anymore.
Essie knew that things would turn out like this. It was Elizabeth who made up and acted as a shield. It was not the first time that she had done such a thing.
The most pathetic part was the gun player. He thought he could live a carefree life with the money, but he didn't expect to be crushed to death by a big truck on the way to escape. It was estimated that the truck was deliberately arranged by Elizabeth. Elizabeth had always been cruel and merciless. She wouldn't blink her eyes when killing people to keep her secrets.
Now there were two more people in the Xu Group. The first one was Alice. If she wanted to come back to work, of course Baron wouldn't refuse. Although he would be on guard, he could let her do something unimportant. The second person was Valery. As the second daughter of the Xu family, no one could object to her entering the Xu Group.
Essie had a vague feeling that after Baron woke up, the Xu Group's crisis would not be solved, but would get worse. Besides, she couldn't cut off the branches and leaves as generously as before.
In the villa of Phoenix Road, Hanson came, because Lucy asked him to have dinner at home.
Mili and Dot were very happy to see him. "Daddy Hanson, we miss you so much. You should come to see us often." Mili put her arms around his neck and stroked his face. She was really worried that her daddy Hanson would abandon them after her mommy and daddy made up.
Hanson lovingly kissed her red face and said, "you are my favorite babies. I will often come to see you."
Dot sighed and said, "if only we were the members of the Mosou."
"Yes." Mili took over his words and said, "then daddy Hanson and daddy can be together with mommy."
Essie was a little nervous. Children's wishes were always the purest and simplest. In terms of love, their relationship with Hanson was much deeper than that of Zac. They and Zac were just related by blood, so their relationship was not deep.
Lucy had cooked a lot of good dishes. Even if Hanson was not with her daughter now, she still treated him as her son-in-law. As for Zac, he was always an outsider. It was just that he was lucky to take his daughter away for the time being.
Before Essie came back, she had talked to Hanson for a long time, telling him not to give up. He had to be confident that she would help him get back Essie.
"Hanson, eat more. Come and see Essie whenever you have time." Lucy said with a smile while picking up food for him.
Hanson nodded and unconsciously glanced at Essie. He felt a little disappointed at the thought that she gave him to Ivy as a gift.
There was a slight smile on Essie's face.
There were usually two women in a man's life. One was a female confidant, and the other was the woman he loved most. The same thing happened to women. For her, Hanson was her confidant. She could trust him unconditionally and maintain friendship for a lifetime.
She picked up a roast duck leg for Hanson and said, "Hanson, I find that mom knows your taste very well. She knows what you like to eat."
"Both of you like spicy food. The two of them have the same taste. It's easy to know whether they match each other or not. Otherwise, they have to accommodate each other during the meal. It's too tired. " Lucy said vaguely.
Of course, Essie knew what she meant, but she didn't think it was a problem.
Zac had a light taste, but when they had dinner together, he always ordered her favorite dishes. As time went by, he also developed a taste bud that could bear the spicy taste.
"Mom, the spicy lobster is so delicious." She changed the topic quietly.
With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, Lucy said, "if you bring a son-in-law who doesn't share the same food habits with you, I have to prepare a few dishes for him alone."
Essie sighed in her heart. Her mother was dissatisfied with Zac now. She didn't even allow Zac to enter her family. It seemed to be difficult for her mother to accept Zac. She had subconsciously merged Zac with Mary.
After dinner, Zac came to pick up Essie and the children.
