"Yes." Luke nodded. He knew Old Master Crawford wanted to see photos of N. He slowly pulled out
his phone, "It''s a girl, and she looks a lot like Luca."
"There must be photos. Show me." Old Master Crawford''s eyes sparkled with excitement.
To him, having many children was a sign of a flourishing family.
Zachary only had two children. Old Master Crawford felt it was a little unfortunate for him. However,
Luke and Luca had brought good news now. They had already blessed him with three adorable
greatgrandkids.
After learning about the existence of the fourth child, Old Master Crawford was extremely excited. He
had been wanting to ask about the fourth child, but Luke had been busy. That was why he had not
seen the photos yet.
"Yes." Luke opened the photo album and handed his phone to the old master.
After Old Master Crawford took the phone from him, he looked at the photos. He felt his vision turn
slightly blurry. He picked up the reading sses beside him and wore them. He could finally see N''s
appearance clearly.
"Oh dear, such a beautiful child. She''s carved from the same mold as her mother. What a lovely child.
Once those features fully develop, she''s going to be a real beauty, just like Rainie."
Old Master Crawford eximed joyfully, gently stroking the phone screen as though he was caressing
the child.
Luke nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Their sons looked like him, and their daughters looked like her.
While people often said that sons resembled their mothers, their daughters looked like their mother and
their sons looked like him. All four children followed this pattern.
"Such a gorgeous child. Even though she takes after her mother, her nose is just like ours. It''s tall and
straight." Old Master Crawford, looking at the side profile of the child in the photo, noticed her nose and
could not help but smile.
Luke walked behind Old Master Crawford and looked at the photo of the child when he heard this.
He nodded in agreement.
Previously, he had only focused on the child''s overall appearance without paying attention to these
details. Now, when he looked at the photos closely, N''s nose did indeed resemble the Crawford
family''s.
"Grandpa, I''ll do everything in my power to bring this child back," Luke said in a low voice, which
sounded like a promise.
"Yes, make sure to bring our Crawford family''s child back. This child didn''t grow up in our family but in
that kind of environment. It must''ve been tough for her..." Old Master Crawford''s heart could not help
but ache at the thought of Luke''s fourth child growing up on the Ind of Despair.
A child would likely be frightened growing up in such an environment.
As he handed Luke''s phone back to him, Old Master Crawford added, "Ensure the child''s safety when
you''re doing things. We must be careful since we know the child is under the other party''s control. Got
it?"
"Yes, I understand." Luke''s eyes slightly darkened as he looked at the child''s smiling face in the photo.
He had to ensure the child''s safety.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
It would be much more difficult, but regardless of the challenges, he had to guarantee the child''s safety.
"I hope you bring the child back soon and reunite the family." Old Master Crawford let out a sigh.
Luke remained silent. His eyes showed even more determination.
He had to be extra cautious, but he also needed to act quickly. Only by fully mastering the Ind of
Despair could he rescue the child.
The Crawford family was enjoying a peaceful atmosphere.
On the other hand, the Mallory family was in a bit of turmoil.
Old Master Mallory sat in the living room, waiting for news. He did not get the information he was
waiting for, and Karen even came back.
As he watched Karen enter in a flurry, Old Master Mallory put a dull expression on his face. "Why are
you here at this hour?"
Karen was stunned for a moment. She had just moved out today, and Old Master Mallory was already
asking her such a question?
This ce had been her home for over 30 years. After being forced to move out for just half a day, Old
Master Mallory was questioning why she hade over?
Did moving out for half a day mean she was not part of the Mallory family anymore? Was she no longer
his daughter-inw?
What was Old Master Mallory trying to say?
"Father, why didn''t you tell me about it?" Karen did not have time to ask him what he meant by that
sentence. Instead, she questioned Old Master Mallory about why he had not informed her that Pierre
would be released today.
"What''s the big deal? He''s still in that hospital. What''s the fuss about a manageable injury?" asked Old
Master Mallory. Pierre was officially released today, so he no longer needed to stay in the hospital''s
detainment ward.
However, considering the superior medical standards at Central Hospital, Old Master Mallory had
arranged for him to be moved there.
After Pierre was sent out of the detainment ward, he was taken to the VIP ward at Central Hospital to
avoid unnecessary hassle.
"Of course, this is a big deal. Pierre leaving the detainment ward means everything''s resolved, no?"
Karen stamped her foot. She affirmed that Pierre was fine when the old master said so.
If she had known about this earlier, she would have gone to the hospital to wait for Pierre toe out
of the detainment ward.
"Things are resolved, but because of you, the Mallory family''s reputation has been tarnished," criticized
Old Master Mallory.
It was only after leaving Crawford Manor today that he learned Karen had pped Ss across his
face, which meant he would not be able to rify those online reports to the journalists.
The news of Karen''s past rtionships was still online.
While such reports would be overshadowed by subsequent inquiries into other celebrities, rification
was still necessary. The sooner it was done, the better.
If the rification came muchter, it would not only be hard to believe, but it would also stir up
memories among the public.
It would repeatedly deepen their impression of the matter, which would not be beneficial for the Mallory
family.
If Karen had not pped Ss, the news could have been rified today. However, they had to wait a
few more days just because she could not control her actions.
Old Master Mallory felt upset at the thought of this.
Karen wanted to argue, but considering what happened today and Pierre''s matter, she felt it was more
prudent to stay silent for now. She awkwardly asked, "Father, is Pierre out now?"
“Thewyer will only handle the procedures at five o''clock. How could it be so fast?" The phone on the
table rang as soon as Old Master Mallory finished his sentence.
Old Master Mallory did not answer but instead gave a meaningful look to Mr. Be.
Mr. Be picked up the phone. "Hello."
"Yes, yes. Okay, I got it. Thank you."
After ending the call, Mr. Be informed Old Master Mallory, "Old Master Mallory, Master Pierre has
been sent out of the detainment ward. As per your arrangement, he has been moved into the VIP
ward."
"Pierre is out!" Karen''s heart was filled with joy. Before Old Master Mallory could speak, the words
rushed out of her mouth.
Mr. Be nodded.
"I''m heading to the hospital now." Karen thought Pierre must have endured a lot during his time in the
detainment ward. She felt sorry for him and wanted to check on him immediately.
Mr. Be watched Karen leave and subconsciously shot a nce at Old Master Mallory.
The old master''s face was terribly gloomy.
After Karen left, Old Master Mallory finally uttered a few words. It was as though he was filled with
endless regret and helplessness. "I chose her as a wife for Daryl, but in the end, I made the wrong
choice."
