"Never mind, just taking care of it will do," Joyce suddenly remembered something. "It's not good for us to go to the hospital empty-handed. Should we buy something?"
"I thought about that already. I had Aaron buy a lot of toys and fruits, and they're in the trunk," Luther couldn't help but tease Joyce, pinching her nose. "It's too late when you remember."
Joyce felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she hadn't thought about that aspect thoroughly enough, compared to Luther.
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the hospital.
The children had all been transferred to the VIP ward.
Joyce and Luther were carrying bags of toys, and Anderson was holding a basket of fruits. The three of them took the elevator to the top floor.
Upon pushing the door open, they saw that there were two hospital beds in the room.
Westbrook lay on one of the beds, still in a deep sleep.
Kiki had already woken up and was sitting on the other bed. Torrance was on the sofa, peeling an orange for her.
Upon seeing the visitors, Torrance quickly stood up and greeted, "You've arrived. Thanks to your help, the children were rescued. I've never been through something like this before; I was at my wits' end."
Joyce smiled, "Eliminating OGW and rescuing the hostages was supposed to be our job. You don't need to be so polite."
Luther put the toys he had brought against the wall on the floor, "Bought some toys for the kids. They've had a fright today."
As Kiki looked up, she saw Anderson too. She became very excited, her eyes sparkling, "Anderson, did you come here specifically to see me?"
Anderson placed the basket of fruits he was carrying on the bedside table. Seeing the expectant look in Kiki's eyes, he felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat, "Um, I came to see both of you."
Kiki's emotions suddenly got the better of her, and she burst into tears in front of everyone.
"I was so scared, none of you came. I kept calling your name, Anderson, but you never came. I thought I'd never see you again, sob..."
Torrance quickly stood up to comfort Kiki, "It's okay, don't cry. You've been saved. You need to be strong and stop crying. Aren't you going to thank Aunt Joyce and Uncle Luther?"
While crying, Kiki said, "Thank you, thank you, Uncle and Auntie."
Joyce quickly waved her hand, "You don't need to be so polite. Don't be too hard on the child. She's the one who suffered the most today."
Joyce had just wanted to step forward to comfort Kiki, but unexpectedly, Anderson spoke first, "Kiki, don't be afraid. I was also kidnapped before, and the situation was much worse for me. It left a deep shadow in my heart. But after overcoming my inner fear, I realized that every experience is just a part of life. After that, when I encountered similar situations, I was much calmer. I believe that after experiencing this danger, you won't be afraid of anything in the future."
Anderson's words were more effective. Kiki stopped crying, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes. You're right, I need to be strong! I won't let Mommy down!"
Anderson glanced at Westbrook, "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
