Chapter 545 Stay for a Short While

“Don’t mention it,” said the officer. “May I ask about your relationship with the victim?”

Evan remained silent momentarily before answering, “I’m the father of her child.”

Evan believed that was the best way to introduce himself.

The police officer then asked, “Alright, what brought the victim here?”

At Bayview Villa.

Tyler and Liora anxiously watched the news on their phone. Liora’s red nose revealed she had been

crying. She asked, “What should we do? How’s Mommy?”

The pale–looking Tyler replied, “I don’t know. Let me call Uncle Neil.”

Liora nodded, watching as Tyler made the call.

After a long wait, Neil’s voice came through, sounding tired and hoarse. “Ty.”

Anxious, Tyler asked, “Where are you, Uncle Neil?”

Neil had anticipated the children’s call. “I’m at Fawn County Hospital.”

Tyler inquired, “Is Mommy hurt?”

Neil replied, “Yes, she’s injured, but don’t worry. Just be patient and wait for her return.”

Liora grabbed the phone. “Uncle Nell, I want to talk to Mommy, but she’s not answering her phone.”

“Lia, your mom needs rest right now,” Neil explained.

Perplexed, Liora asked, “Is she sleeping?”

Neil reassured her, “Yes, she is. I’ll make sure she calls you as soon as she wakes up, alright?”

“Okay. Take care, Uncle Neil,” Liora said.

‘I will.”

Even after the call, the children remained unconvinced.

Suddenly, Eira called from downstairs, “Lia!”

Liora hurried out of the room, asking. “What is it, Eira?”

“Dr. Wilson is here,” Eira replied.

Liora turned to Tyler. “Papa Wilson is here! Can we ask him to take us to see Mommy?”

Tyler’s eyes brightened, “That’s a great idea!”

After a brief discussion, the two children ran to meet Scott.

Liora immediately embraced him and pleaded with puppy dog eyes, “Please promise me something,

Papa Wilson!”

Feigning confusion, Scott said, “Tell me first. Lia.”

Liora frowned. “Don’t you know about Mommy’s condition, Papa Wilson?”

“I do. Do you want to see her?” Scott asked, crouching down.

Liora nodded eagerly. “Can you take Tyler and me to see her, Papa Wilson?”

Regrettably, Scott shook his head. “No.”

Tyler furrowed his brow. “Why not?”

Scott explained, “I believe Caroline doesn’t want you to know she’s hurt because she doesn’t want you

to

worry.”

Liora’s spirits sank. “But I’m really worried about Mommy. She must be in pain.”

Scott reassured, “She’s very strong. Let’s wait for her to come back.”

Concerned, Tyler asked, “When do you think Mommy will return, Papa Wilson?”

Scott answered, “I can’t be certain because I don’t know the extent of her injury yet. If it’s serious, It

might. take some time. There’s something called a critical stage. If it’s not serious, she should be back

in a few days

The children’s faces turned pale as they thought about the term ‘critical stage‘.

Scott stood up, held their hands, and said, “Come. I go upstairs with you.”

Disappointed, Tyler and Liora followed Scott upstairs.

Eira looked at them and asked, “Will you stay back for a little while, Dr. Wilson?”
