S31 83. Time’s Up

“Then wait in the corner over there. Don’t approach the door until I call you,” Turner stated.

“All right! Thanks, Turner.” Emily walked while moving her hips.

“Woohoo! We’re going to eat deliciously,” Louis exclaimed, jumping up and down in the direction Turner was pointing.

Shaking his head in disbelief, Turner opened the door. With a tired look, he brought the trolleys in one by one.

“Wow, that one is so pretty,” Emily sighed as she stood on her tiptoes.

“That one looks delicious. That one too. Turner, have you eaten yet?” Louis said, adding to Turner’s annoyance.

“Don’t cause trouble. Just eat!”

The twins walked with teasing expressions. “How about you eat with us? You haven’t eaten in a while. You must be hungry.”

“Yes, there’s a lot of food here. You can choose one plate, but not this one.” Emily took her selection to the table.

“And this one, my favorite.” Louis took another plate. “Your friends. who are on guard outside can also take food if they want.”

Turner was stunned. Confusion froze his mind. What kind of children was he taking care of?

“Don’t try to influence me! Just eat. Don’t ask around.”

“Okay, don’t regret it when the food runs out. We were kind enough to invite you, but you refused.” Louis climbed onto the chair. Meanwhile, Emily was going to the bathroom door.

“Louis, wash your hands first.”

Louis’ eyebrows arched upward. “Oh right. I almost forgot.”

He followed Emily. “Don’t steal our food, Turner!” he exclaimed before the sound of splashing water echoed.

A bland laugh escaped Turner’s mouth. His hand subconsciously clutched his stomach. “How could they be so skilled at intimidating others? They can’t be four years old. They are small old men.”

Steeling himself, Turner exited the suite. However, the twins’ invitation to eat together kept ringing in his mind.

“Those children…. They are actually sweet children. It’s really unfortunate that they have to face Victor Moore. Can they survive until the end?”

Half an hour passed, Turner was still contemplating. When the sound of footsteps was heard, he straightened his back and widened his eyes. “Mr. and Mrs. Moore?”

“How are the children?”

Turner swallowed hard. However, before he had time to answer, Patricia moved her fingers twice. Turner couldn’t help but step asid

One step from the door, Patricia almost hit the trolleys. Seeing the many empty plates piled up there, her jaw dropped. “Oh my! What the

hell?”

Meanwhile, Victor’s gaze fell on the two toddlers on the bed. They both lay on their backs and closed their eyes. Their faces looked peaceful and cute because their tiny mouths were slightly open.

“Can they still sleep?” he sighed in disbelief.

“Sorry, Sir. They were hungry and called food service. I was also surprised when the waiters came to take their order.” Turner bowed

his head deeply. His voice was heavy.

“You guys let the children make a call?”

Patricia’s voice made Turner flinch. “Sorry, Ma’am. We already unplugged the phone. We didn’t expect the kids to be so smart.”

While Patricia snorted, the twins started to move around. After a while, they sat with still withered eyes.

“Mr. Moore?” Louis rubbed his eyes. “Is it already an hour?”

Emily turned to look at the clock on the wall with one eye slightly opened. “We fell asleep, Louis.”

“You guys just had fun, huh?” Victor raised an eyebrow.

Sorry, Mr. Moore. We were hungry If you mind giving us free food, just tell us how much we need to pay. I’ll transfer it when I get home.”

“Home, you say?” Patricia’s voice broke. “Don’t ever think you guys can go home as long as Frank Harper hasn’t made amends.”

The twins pursed their lips. However, before they could protest, Victor asked, “So, have you finished discussing? Who should be sacrificed if your father is late in carrying out his duties?”

The twins didn’t move. They forgot to prepare an answer. Seeing tha Patricia smiled cynically. She glanced at her husband.

“Frank Harper has ruined our daughter’s reputation, Darling. How about we repay him in kind? Let’s sacrifice her daughter.”

Emily’s eyes spontaneously widened. Her chest felt tight and her lips. began to tremble. “You want to throw me into the sea?” she asked in a small, heart-rending voice.

“Wait a minute!” Louis furrowed his brows. “You can’t cheat, Mr. Moore. You asked us to discuss it. So, we are the ones who have the right to decide who should make the sacrifice, not you or Mrs. Moore.”

While the Moore couple listened, Louis took his younger sister’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, Emily. I won’t let them throw you overboard.”

A second later, Louis looked back at Victor. “I’ve decided. I’m the one who has to sacrifice first.”

“Louis, why did you say that?” Emily shook his hand.

“It’s okay, Emily. I’m much stronger than you. My chances of surviving in the sea are greater than yours. Remember, I can already swim.”

“But, what if you can’t survive? I don’t want you to die, especially not to save me. If that happens, I will definitely regret it and feel lonely. I won’t be able to sleep every night. I won’t stop crying all day long.”

However, Louis remained firm. “It’s okay, Emily. I’ve lived a few minutes longer than you. Besides, Daddy and Mommy asked me to look after you. Even if I die, I will feel proud. I can join Grandpa in heaven. You don’t need to feel guilty”

Emily shook her head in disagreement. “No, Louis. I don’t want you to sacrifice for me.”

While pouting, the little girl glanced at Victor. “Can’t you reconside your decision, Mr. Moore? Louis and I are still so young. We have lot of dreams to fulfill.”

Patricia snorted. She was sick of seeing the twins. “There’s no point in complaining. Did your father think about our daughter’s fate before taking his action?”

Shaking her head slowly, Patricia muttered, “No. He didn’t hesitate at all when he published the video. Therefore, we won’t hesitate to reply either. Frank Harper’s daughter must atone for her father’s sins.”

Emily looked down, holding back her fear. Her hand gripped Louis tighter. “Then,” she peeked at Victor from the corner of her eye, “I’ll just make the sacrifice.”

After a blink, Emily looked at her brother. “Louis, when I’m gone,

I

please tell Mommy and Daddy that love them very much. I hope you don’t mind making the clothes I designed. It would be a shame if they weren’t sold. I’ve taken great pains to design them. And please look after Yemon for me. If you miss me, just hug him. He would also be very sad if I couldn’t play with him anymore.”

Louis pouted too. “Don’t say that, Emily. I’m your older brother. It’s natural for me to protect you. Besides, if you die, don’t you feel sorry for Cayden? You promised to meet again later. What if he keeps waiting for you but you’re gone? He must be suffering so much.”

Victor sighed in disbelief when he heard that. “Enough! Let’s shorten the time. Since your discussion has not resulted in a decision, let me decide. In an hour, you will know the answer. Only if your father

denies it.”
