Kenny’s eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands to pick up Liora “Lia!I missed you so much! Where did you and Ty go? I have good news for you. We will be living together and get to see each other every day!”

Kenny’s remark sounded harsh to Noah.

“What do you mean by living together soon? Are you moving in with River? Is River letting G move in with her just because he helped her? Noah thought

Upon hearing the children, River quickly stood up. She hurried to the foyer and was surprised to see the three kids accompanied by Noah, who was dressed in a black trench coat.

Why did he suddenly come over with the children?

A moment later, River recovered from her surprise and said, “What brings you here?”

Tyler wore a meaningful smile. “Are you going to provide us with an explanation, Mommy?”

“Explanation? What explanation?” River was puzzled.

Tyler entered the house and pointed at Kenny with his chin “Uncle Kenny mentioned that he would be living with us earlier.”

River chuckled. “Ah. Uncle Kenny-”

“Oh, River” Kenny suddenly interrupted River and cast a look at her. “Let’s not discuss this topic in the presence of an outsider, shall we?”

Noah was rendered speechless when he was regarded as an outsider.

River glanced at Noah and figured that Kenny refused to disclose his personal matter due to pride, so she nodded. She caressed Tyler’s head and said, “That’s right. Uncle Kenny will be living here.”

Liora cocked her head. “Is Uncle Kenny going to be your boyfriend, Mommy?”

River was dumbfounded. “How-”

“Lia! Do you have any objections? Do you think that I’m not worthy of being your mother’s boyfriend?” Kenny asked.

‘Has Kenny lost his mind tonight? River wondered

All of a sudden. Noah’s mocking voice echoed from the door. “You do a pretty good job at networking Those who are of help to you end up in your bed.

River frowned due to Noah’s insinuation and stared at him. “My personal affairs are none of your business, Mr. De Marco.”

Noah sneered “Shouldn’t you set a good example as a mother?”

“I haven’t brought any negative influence to my children’s upbringing,” River refuted.

“No? According to my knowledge, Tyler and Liora are already aware of the two men close to you.”

River said, Tm single. My regular social interactions shouldn’t be a problem.”

Kenny chimed in. “I don’t think there’s any issue. River can have tens and hundreds of men close to her as long as she is happy, and I’ll be fine.”

River understood Kenny was standing up for her, but why did he sound so erratic tonight?

“Kenny, take the children to play in the living room,” River said.

Kenny was about to nod when he saw the tiny figure behind Noah

“Who’s that?” Kenny asked.

River followed Kenny’s gaze and spotted Axel standing quietly behind Noah Axel’s head was slightly peeking out.

River quickly stepped forward and said, “Axel?”

Axel obediently took a step closer, responding with a soft. “Hmm.”

Feeling a sense of compassion, River gently lifted Axel. “Come along with me.

She then looked at Noah, saying. “My house isn’t big, but you’re welcome to come in.

Noah walked confidently into the villa and headed straight for Kenny. His cold, hostile eyes sent shivers down Kenny’s spine.

Nervously, Kenny held Liora while gripping Tyler’s hand, all behind Noah

Noah sat on the sofa, scanned the surroundings, and asked, “Ts Ms. Smith here?”

Setting Axel down, River replied, “Ms. Smith is at the hospital.”

Noah’s brow furrowed. “Hospital?”

“Yes.” River nodded sadly. “She was badly hurt during the children’s abduction. She’s now in a vegetative state.”

Noah’s expression tightened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

River met his gaze. “What would be the use? Even Scott can’t do anything to help her. So, what purpose would telling you serve?”

Noah pulled out his phone and sent Reuben a text. Retrieve Ms. Smith’s medical record and transfer her to Grand East Hospital as soon as possible]

Noah stood up after putting away his phone. “I’ll leave the children to you, and I’ll be back to pick them up tomorrow.”

He left without waiting for River’s response,

Kenny looked at River in puzzlement after the door was shut. “He asked a question, and then he’s gone? Where did he go?”

River looked at the departing car and muttered, “I don’t know

The next morning, River sent the three children to the kindergarten.

She joined Kenny for an inspection at the factory afterward and returned to the company after confirming everything was fine.

Anne knocked and entered her office “Ms. Healy.”

River said while removing her jacket, “Go ahead”

Anne mumbled, ‘Ms. Healy, I didn’t manage to complete the task you assigned me the other day. Ms. Watson and Mr. Pierce were gone when I got out of the restroom.”

River walked to the office table and said, “Why are you only telling me now?”

Anne was avoidant. L. I forgot.”

River looked at her coldly. “Anne, it’s important to understand your duties as a secretary.

Whenever your superior assigns you a task, you must report on it immediately, no matter how serious it is. I’m unsure if your behavior might cause issues in the future. Therefore, please go to the finance department to collect your three months‘ salary and then resign from your position

Anne’s eyes widened in shock, and she vigorously shook her head. “No, please. Give me another chance, Ms. Healy!”

River responded. “I’m not being unfair, but how you handle tasks can impact the company. Since the company is in its initial phase, I need all my team members to be extremely careful.”

With teary eyes, Anne asked, “Are you really letting me go, Ms. Healy?”

“If you can adjust your approach positively and handle things more effectively, you can return after showing improvement. I wish you the best.”

Anne’s head drooped in disappointment, and she murmured, I understand, Ms. Healy. I appreciate everything you’ve taught me during this time.”

River grew uneasy watching Anne depart. She once believed Noah was too strict with his team, but now, she understood managing was challenging.

Being too easy on her subordinates could breed laziness, yet they might hesitate to speak up due to respect

River held a meeting with the production team in the afternoon. They estimated they could finish the first batch of clothes after ten days.

This duration had exceeded River’s expectations

She reminded the head of the production team, “The production speed is important, but there aren’t many workers in the factory now. Please, don’t make them work overtime.”

She would not blindly pursue speed. She wanted nothing but the quality of the clothes and her employees‘ physical and mental health,

The head of the production team replied, “Understood, Ms. Healy. I’ll obey your rule and let them get off work on time. The factory won’t operate at night.”

River nodded. She then said to Naomi Lynch, the recently promoted secretary, “Naomi, order the security department to keep an eye on the factory. Ask them to be on guard ”

Naomi was a woman in her early 30s. Her short hair made her look very capable.

River had chosen her because her serious facial features made River recall her past self.

When Naomi received River’s order, she nodded seriously. “Okay, Ms. Healy”

It was time to get off work after the meeting ended.

River was unsure if Noah would come to pick up his children, so she wanted to get to the kindergarten first.

When she stepped out of the company, a black elongated Maybach suddenly stopped before her.

Reuben got out of the driver’s seat and went to River to open the door for her. “Ms. Healy, Mr.

De Marco would like to invite you to go to a place with him.”

River looked at the handsome but aloof man in the back seat before she refused.

“No, the kids will be out of the kindergarten soon. I need to pick them up.”

Noah looked up. “I asked someone else to do that. Just get into the car and go with me.”

River frowned and asked, “Where are you taking me to?”

“I’m taking you to see Lily,” Noah answered directly.

River laughed. “Lily’s in Novamere Hospital. I can see her anytime I want. I don’t have to go with you.

Noah said, “Go on if you think you can still see Lily at Novamere Hospital.”

River’s smile stiffened. “What do you mean?”

Noah replied slowly, “Just the literal meaning. Of course, you can turn me down.”

“Did you transfer her to another hospital without my permission? River hurriedly asked.

“Lily isn’t out of danger for such a long time. Why did you do that? If anything happens to Lily.

you bear the consequences?”

Noah’s face sank. Did she see him and Daniella as villains?

He felt a pang, so his voice turned colder. “I did this because I could guarantee her safety. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not!”

River clenched her fists tightly. Given his character, he would never tell her where Lily was if she refused to go today.

Thus, she suppressed her anger and got into the car for Lily’s sake.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at Grand East Hospital’s entrance.

River stepped out of the car and observed the vast hospital building. She couldn’t remember seeing a hospital like this in Novamere.

Turning her attention to Noah, she asked with concern, “When was this hospital constructed? Can you tell me about the doctors working here?”

Noah gave her a quick glance but didn’t explain. He simply headed toward the hospital entrance.

Reuben offered an explanation, “Ms. Healy, Mr. De Marco established this hospital, but he didn’t make it public.

“He carefully selected all the doctors, recruiting the best ones from around the world. You can trust their medical expertise.”

River was taken aback. “He wasn’t involved in this industry before, right?”

Reuben replied gloomily, “After hearing about your passing, he decided to build a hospital because he felt that all doctors in Novamere City were useless.”

River was left without words

Regrettably, his belated care was worthless.
