Ethan opened the letter slowly.
Above the letters was the graceful yet slightly scribbled handwriting of the old lady. It was clear that when she wrote this letter, her hands must have been trembling.
“Thank you, young man. Although I know that you are not Vince, I can still feel his existence in you. Thank you for giving me this chance and allowing me to leave with no regrets. The girl named Shanny is very suitable for you. You should cherish her. And do not refuse me - I’ve decided to give the property under my name to you, because you deserve it...”
Ethan was moved after he read the letter. He looked at Shannon with softer emotions.
When Shannon woke up, she found a bowl of ginger decoction on the bedside cabinet and a note. Sleepy as she was, she got up and reached for the note:
“Wesley and Nancy can drink the milk powder. You can have a good rest.”
Signature, Mr. Yates.
Shannon felt a little happy.
At this time, the private doctor Cora came in. Shannon found herself lying in the room of Cora.
Cora smiled and poured a glass of water for her generously, “How do you feel? Are you all right?”
Shannon nodded, “Well, much better.”
The World Music Festival was being broadcast live on TV.
The man who flashed through the scene caused all the audience to scream and ignite.
It was Ethan.
With the sound of music, Ethan in a black windbreaker walked up to the stage in a straight posture.
The boisterous scene reached another apex.
“Ethan! Ethan!!”
Ethan waved to the fans and smiled warmly.
His delicate and profound contour was covered with softness under the illumination of the lights, but the aura did not diminish at all.
It was a pleasure to watch the charm of his gestures in the screen.
At the same time, his appearance also resolved the rumor of wedding in church during the daytime.
Cora saw Shannon staring at the TV and said to her, “Ms. Somers, do you know Mr. Yates is very concerned about you?”
Having heard this, Shannon concealed her inner panic and smiled lightly, “Because I am the nanny of Wesley and Nancy.”
Cora smiled knowingly, “It is smart of you to know your place. He is the king of music. A woman can admire him, even be infatuated with him. But she can’t dream of earning his love, because he does not belong to any woman.” Cora’s expression grew serious and her smile faded as she spoke.
Shannon felt uneasy all of a sudden. She replied slightly, “I’m just a nanny. And I never had that thought. You’ve misunderstood me.”
“Well, I’m sjust reminding you, Ms. Somers. Don’t get involved to his relationship. Otherwise, it would not only hurt you, but also him.”
Shannon nodded and got out of bed.
Cora urged her, “Just rest for now, and Coade will come here to pick you up when you feel better. Don’t worry about the two babies - they will be fine with the formula.”
“Thank you, but I feel better now.”
For the sake of safety, Cora took her temperature and found nothing wrong. So, she allowed Shannon to leave.
By then, Coade had already driven over. Shannon got in his car and headed back to the villa.
When Wesley and Nancy saw Shannon come back, they stretched out their little hands, wanting her to hold them.
Shannon walked over to the stroller, and gathered both of them into her arms.
The two babbling guys kissed on her face.
Shannon smiled happier, held them and started to amuse them.
“Coo…,” Nancy pointed at the curtain.
Shannon did not know what she was going to do, so she carried her toward the curtain.
Wesley also looked at the same direction curiously.
“What does our little Nancy want?” Shannon asked Nancy.
The little girl took a corner of the curtain, but covered it on her face.
Shannon suddenly understood.
“Well, Nancy. You and Wesley sat in the stroller first.”
Nancy nodded with pleasure and was put in the stroller. With a blank look, Wesley wanted to see what Shannon intended to do next.
Shannon hid behind the curtain, pinching her nose, and said, “You can’t see me because I’m invisible.”
Through a chink, Shannon saw Wesley and Nancy looking for her everywhere. She snickered in secret and drew aside the curtain, then smiled sweetly at the two babies, “Ha-ha, I am here.”
Wesley and Nancy suddenly laughed.
Shannon covered her head with the curtain again and then drew aside the curtain.
The two clapped their little hands. How happy they were!
“Bang!” The stroller fell to the ground. Wesley and Nancy also fell with a flop and then burst into tears.
Shannon ran over to them quickly.
The babies fell on their faces. Their noses and mouths got hurt on the floor with noticeable bruises!
Shannon was so upset to hold and comfort them. She took a towel to wipe their wounds.
“What happened?” Lillian and Coade came in hastily.
When they saw the wounds, they became scared all of a sudden.
“Shannon, what did you do? Why are there injuries on their faces?”
“Call the doctor Cora at once!”
Coade hurriedly dialed the landline in the room!
Shannon was very sorry. She kept holding and comforting the babies.
At this time, Susan and Amy came in and took away Wesley and Nancy from Shannon.
“I know you did this on purpose. They were safe and sound before. How could you get them hurt like this as long as you come back?” Susan kept blaming Shannon without a break.
Amy also said, “We should tell Madam Yates about your negligence! How dare you not take your work seriously and hurt the young master and princess like this! You’re not worth staying here at all.”
“Sorry, I didn’t expect the stroller to fall over. And please give Wesley and Nancy back to me. They need me.” Shannon saw Wesley and Nancy reaching for her. Her heart ached.
But Susan and Amy did not listen to her.
After a while, Cora came over with two doctors, wrapping the wounds for Wesley and Nancy and doing disinfects processing.
Shannon wanted to help, but she was excluded by the people here. Through this incident, they dared not let her stay with Wesley and Nancy.
Shannon was distressed and helpless. She blamed herself for her negligence, which caused the little ones to get hurt.
The stroller was firm at ordinary times. Why did it suddenly drop a wheel?
Shannon doubted that it might not be an accident. Thinking of this, she went to the room to check the stroller.
The wheel was derailed from its original parts indeed, but the latter two wheels were very firm, there was no sign of derailment at all. Shannon found another clue. The screw on the wheel was removed and got lost. If it was only loosened, the screw would remain in its original place...
Who on earth wanted to hurt the two babies?
What was the purpose?
At this time, the door was opened.
Shannon saw a pair of black leather shoes first. Squatting under the stroller, she looked up along the shoes and found Ethan standing there.
Ethan frowned and looked at her with a face of inquiry.
It seemed as if she’s a criminal suspect, while he’s the presiding judge.
Shannon was a little nervous.
Coade, Bill, Ken and Uncle John came in. Amy and Susan also followed behind, holding Wesley and Nancy, who was still crying.
“Mr. Yates, the wheels did not drop automatically. Someone did this on purpose.” Shannon told him her suspicions.
Ethan seemed contemplative, looking at the stroller, “You admit you did it on purpose?”
“No, no, I dearly love Wesley and Nancy. How can I hurt them deliberately? I mean someone must have damaged it before I came back.” Shannon explained patiently.
Ethan chose to believe her when he saw her sincere and frank gaze. He just thought the woman was a little silly to say that. Wasn’t it a good excuse for others to frame her?
As he expected, what he guessed was right. Susan behind him blamed Shannon fiercely, “Of course, it’s artificial. However, there’s nobody else in the room but you, so it’s you who did it.”
“She did it, Mr. Yates. She had a tendency to abuse children. I’ve already told Madam Yates about what Shannon did. Madam Yates asked me to tell you that Shannon must be dismissed for the safety of the young master and princess!” Amy said indignantly.
Ethan was impatient and glanced at Coade.
Coade said obediently, “Yes, Mr. Yates. Madam Yates also called me and said that Shannon should be dismissed.”
Ethan finally fixed his gaze on Shannon, “I make my own decisions. Coade, bring me the stroller that I selected last time.”
Coade went away.
Ethan turned at Susan and Amy, his expression cold, “Put Wesley and Nancy on the bed, and then leave.”
Susan and Amy looked at each other, but continued holding the babies indifferently.
“Mr. Yates, Madam Yates hired us to take care of the babies.” Susan took it for granted.
“Well, I don’t want you to be here when I come back. The babies stay and you go out.”
Hearing this, Susan and Amy were a little afraid. They put Wesley and Nancy in the cradle hastily and left.
Shannon stepped forward and looked at Ethan, “I am not a sadist. I would never hurt Wesley and Nancy. However, they are still injured because of my negligence. How do you want to deal with me? I accept any punishment.”
“I believe you.” Ethan comforted the babbling two babies on the bed, and said slowly, “But I still wish you to be more careful when looking after them later. I know sometimes you get distracted.”
“I...” Her voice faltered, but this time, she hadn’t been distracted at all. She had genuinely been entertaining Wesley and Nancy, not expected the wheels to come off.
“Given this incident, I won’t allow you to be alone with the babies. You go back to the room and rest. Coade will call you if anything concerned.”
Shannon knew there was a barrier between them. She was very upset about it.
When Shannon was stepping out of the room, she heard Ethan’s phone ring.
Staying for a moment, Shannon heard him saying “Dayle” in a low voice.
Ethan did not dismiss Shannon but continued to ask her to breastfeed the two babies. However, when Shannon was together with Wesley and Nancy, there must be other people present.
“Mr. Yates really thought highly of her. Though Madam Yates and Mrs. Yates insisted, he still did not dismiss her. Did she sleep with Mr. Yates?”
“Huh, Mr. Yates likes her? Such a humble look! She was not worthy even to shine Mr. Yates’s shoes! In my opinion, she stayed just because she has enough breast milk. The babies are growing up, they have to keep up with nutrition.”
Shannon heard Susan and Amy talk in the garden below the balcony when she was hanging out the clothes above them.
