River was getting ready to make dinner for the kids when a young woman stepped out of the kitchen. She had a high ponytail and appeared to be around 20 years old. Her eyes lit up upon. seeing River. She flashed a smile, revealing her charming teeth, and said, “Hello, Ms. Healy! I’m Eira Snow, the nanny Mr. Xander hired
Neil came over from the living room as soon as Eira finished speaking. “You’re back, River.”
River was puzzled. “Neil…”
Neil chuckled and explained. “I hired a nanny to help you out, River. Eira is highly skilled, not just in cooking but also certified in various areas.”
“Certified? In what?” River was amazed.
Neil nodded toward Eira, who went to the foyer and retrieved a card pouch from her backpack. She respectfully handed it to River. “Please take a look, Ms. Healy.”
River took the pouch in astonishment and found multiple certification cards inside. Eira was multilingual, a certified teacher, proficient in cooking and nutrition, skilled in martial arts, and more. To River’s surprise, she was even certified in plumbing.
River looked at Neil and asked, “Where did you find this woman, Neil?”
Neil replied, “She’s actually an employee of my company, and she applied for the nanny position when she heard about it.”
“Uncle Neil, your company must have many talented employees. Are you good with computers?”
Tyler asked.
Eira’s eyes sparkled. “Absolutely!*
Tyler’s interest was piqued. “Can we play a game on the computer after dinner?”
“Tyler, you haven’t finished your homework, and Mommy is still here!” Liora said, hands on her hips.
Eira giggled and offered, “I can help you with your homework!”
River redirected the conversation, asking. “How much is my brother paying you, Eira?”
Eira held up a finger, “1,000 dollars.”
River was shocked. “Neil, you’re paying her so little when she’s so capable?”
“No, Ms. Healy! I requested that amount myself. I don’t need money because I earn income from these certifications,” explained Eira
Liora was curious. “Do you make a lot of money, miss?”
Eira shyly scratched her head. “It’s not that much, just a few thousand dollars.”
Liora was astonished. “Can you make that much money without doing much?”
River gently caressed Liora’s head. “The journey to achieve this wasn’t easy.”
“I want to be like you! I really like her, Mommy. Can we keep her, please?” Liora held River’s hand.
“Of course. Eira, I’ll add another thousand dollars to your salary as a small token of appreciation.”
Eira nodded. “In that case, you can leave tutoring the kids to me. I’ll start cooking now!”
River nodded and joined Neil in the dining room after Eira returned to the kitchen. They sat down, and River looked at Neil, asking, “Tell me, does Eira have feelings for you?”
Neil was taken aback. “What are you talking about?”
River teased, “Why would such an exceptional girl willingly work as my nanny if there isn’t something more?”
“She’s probably just here for the experience. I’m not looking for a girlfriend,” Neil replied, picking up an orange from the table.
River smiled, thinking, “Well, what can I say if he has already made up his mind?‘
“Oh, by the way, you’ll be at the Xanders on Christmas Eve, right?‘ River asked.
He handed her a peeled orange. “Yes, I will be. Why do you ask?”
River took a bite of the orange and said, “What do you think about me revealing Daniella’s identity on Christmas Eve?”
Neil assured River, “It’s all good. Do what you want. I’ll support you no matter what.”
River felt a warm sensation in her chest. “Alright, I’ll go ahead on Christmas Eve then.”
Neil added, “I’ll gather all the information on Daniella. You just need to be there.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, Eira washed the dishes and helped the kids with their studies.
River watched for a while, feeling relieved by their harmony Then, she went upstairs to her study and dialed Dr. Deric Dempsey from Grand Cast Hospital.
Deric answered, “Ms. Healy, we’ve been waiting for your call.”
River apologized, Tm sorry for the delay. I was unwell and hospitalized.”
Deric reassured her, “You can always reach out if you feel unwell. Please provide your email, and
I’ll send Ms. Smith’s surgery plan.”
River shared her email, and Deric promptly sent the plan. As she read it on her laptop, the medical jargon baffled her. She forwarded it to Scott and waited for his call.
When Scott rang, River asked, “Have you reviewed the surgery plan?”
“Yes, the craniotomy technology is advanced, and the risk is low. You should go for it.”
River made her decision. “Alright. I’ll schedule it with the doctor.”
“Great, make sure to eat. I have surgery too.”
“Sure, take care. Goodbye.”
River then called Deric and scheduled the surgery for 2:00 p.m. the next day. Deric then informed Noah.

Noah was in Axel’s room and responded casually. “Be careful during the surgery and do your best to wake Lily up.”
Deric acknowledged. “Of course, Mr. De Marco.”
Noah glanced at Axel, lying on the bed with his back turned “How long will you keep this up?”
Axel’s voice sounded weak. “I don’t have an appetite.”
Noah’s tone grew serious. “If you’re on a hunger strike because of your mother, don’t even think about seeing her again. If I can transfer you to a new school once, I can do it again.”
Axel’s hand tightened on his chest, not because of hunger strike but due to his food aversion. However, he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the school where he shared classes with his siblings and saw his mother after class.
Gritting his teeth, Axel forced himself upright. Til eat,” he muttered.
“Joy made your favorite beef stew. Finish your meal,” Noah said.
Axel got out of bed and nodded. He then walked downstairs, where the nanny, Joy, served the hot stew.
Axel felt queasy at the sight of the beef chunks.
Noticing his discomfort, Joy inquired. “Are you feeling unwell, Axel?”
Axel turned away, replying, “I’m fine.”
He picked up a spoon and forced the beef stew into his mouth, battling the nausea that threatened to overwhelm him.
Joy looked at Axel with concern. “Can I make you something else if you don’t like this?”
Axel’s eyes were red from discomfort. “Don’t worry about me.”
Joy nodded, turned, and headed into the kitchen to do the dishes.
Axel dropped his spoon and hurried into the bathroom.
Once he reached the toilet, he vomited all the food. He knelt by the toilet bowl, trembling. After he finished throwing up, he propped himself up with heavy breathing. However, his legs were so sore that he lost his balance and fell. He felt a sharp pain in his knee and noticed it was scraped, with bright red blood flowing from the wound
Axel grabbed a tissue and pressed it against the bleeding wound, but it didn’t seem to stop.
“Axel?” Joy’s voice suddenly echoed
Axel quickly replied, Tm in the bathroom.”
“Ah, okay.” Joy replied, leaving Axel to frown at his persistent bleeding wound.
He realized he must be sick. Nosebleeds, body aches, weakness, and red spots covered his body.
‘How do I tell Daddy if I’m really sick? Will he think I can’t take care of myself? Will he turn to drinking and smoking out of worry?”
Axel weakly leaned against the wall, lost in his thoughts.
At the hospital, Daniella dozed off on the sofa.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a nurse entered to remove Casey’s intravenous line.
Daniella sat up groggily and asked, “Has his fever gone down?”
“Yes. Please pick up his medication. The nurse handed Daniella a prescription after removing the
IV line.
Daniella took it, stood up, and said, “Alright.”
As Daniella reached the stairway to the second floor of the outpatient building, she overheard two
“Are you certain? Is he really the son of MK’s CEO?”
“Yes, I checked online. His name is Axel De Marco.”
“What a shame. Has no one in his family realized he has leukemia? It was only discovered during the school’s physical examination.”
“I can’t say for sure, but let’s avoid discussing it further to prevent any criticism.”
Daniella was shocked by what she had overheard.
‘Axel has leukemia? Does Noah not know? If he did, these doctors wouldn’t be talking about it.”
Daniella chuckled ‘What a turn of events. I can use this information
As Daniella slowly climbed to the second floor, she schemed and devised a plan. By the time she reached the final flight of stairs, she had a comprehensive strategy in mind. She aimed to use this information to gain Casey’s trust and make Noah remember her kindness.
