Chapter 34 He Picks Locks Jessica returned the handkerchief to Lina, taking a deep breath.
âWell, about thatââ Lina stopped herself halfway and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Just like that, Jessica was left alone in the master bedroom. There were many rooms in the VIP room, but she did not want to move.
She feared facing Trevor and Lina.
After having the oatmeal Lina brought over for lunch, she fell into a deep sleep.
After some time, amidst her drowsiness, she felt a pair of small hands pushing her.
She opened her eyes and turned over to see who it was, only to be surprised by the sight before her.
âAsher, Bennett, Emery, Faye? What are you four doing here?â she asked.
âHow did they get into such a place? Wouldnât they be stopped?â she pondered.
âMommy, are you okay? You havenât gone home for two days, and we were all worried about you. We had no choice but to come here to look for you. I tracked your location and found that youâre at the hospital. So, I brought them here. Since Bennet knows how to cure sicknesses, I brought him along to cure you. Emery knows how to pick open locks. With him around, we can go anywhere. Well, as for Faye, she canât do anything, but sheâs cute. She can make you happy.â As the eldest brother, Asher had divided the duties clearly.
âBennett can cure sicknesses? Emery knows how to pick open locks?â Jessica frowned, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The fact that Asher could use the computer so skillfully was already shocking news. Never did she expect her other two children to be so incredible.
âYes!â Asher nodded, blinking earnestly. âBennett can cure sicknesses, Caleb can throw darts, Dylan can sing, and Emery can pick locks. Only Faye doesnât know how to do anything. All she can do is to make others happy.â
âMommy, Asher always bullies me.â Faye pouted, nuzzling into Jessicaâs embrace. She looked extremely cute with the two pigtails hanging down her pink dress.
âYouâre a good girl, Faye. Asherâs the one whoâs wrong. Asher, apologize to your sister now,â said Jessica, pretending to be angry. Hearing that, Asher pursed his lips and apologized reluctantly, âIâm sorry.
Donât be angry, Faye.â
âHmph. Iâll forgive you this time.â Faye shot Asher a mischievous look and climbed into Jessicaâs embrace.
Right then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
âUhâ¦â Lina, who entered with the food, was taken aback when she saw the children.
Then, she asked without thinking, âAre these Mr. Gullifordâs children?â
They looked a lot like Trevor when he was younger. After all, Lina had taken care of Trevor since young.
âNo, no.â Jessica quickly waved her hands. âYouâve misunderstood it. These are my friendâs children, not Trevorâs.â
âIf Lina finds out about this, sheâll definitely tell Trevor about it. If that happens, I wonât be able to keep them a secret anymore,â she mused.
âOh, they look a lot like Mr. Gulliford. Anyway, are you hungry, children? Do you want to have some food?â Lina asked gently, gazing at the children, feeling as if she was looking at a younger version of Trevor from ten years ago.
âBe good, okay? Iâll get Monica to send all of you home.â Feeling helpless, Jessica pulled out her phone to make the arrangements. She really wanted to leave with them, but if she were to escape, Trevor would definitely harm the Queen family.
For the sake of the Queen family, she could not leave.
Faye leaned to Jessicaâs ear and muttered softly, âMommy, I donât want to leave. Can I stay here with you?â
