These recent days are crucial for the wound to heal. But this man, as always, acts willfully and doesn't take his own body seriously at all, which makes Freya angry.

Seeing that admitting his mistake didn't work, Bradley could only pretend to be in pain and cried out, "It hurts, it hurts. Be gentle."

Sure enough, Freya became even more anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I wish it would hurt you to death!"

Although she said that, her actions became much gentler.

Bradley looked at her with a pitiful expression, "You can bear to... Ouch!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gasped in pain.

Then Freya pressed down hard on his wound and said angrily, "I really can bear to."

Xin Yao, who was lying in the baby crib, saw her parents flirting. She tilted her head and stared at them blankly. Suddenly, she started to say "b...a, b...a".

Bradley was startled. With the same stunned expression as his daughter, he looked at Freya and asked, "What did our daughter just say?"

Freya casually said, "b...a, b...a. She's calling you."

After saying that, she suddenly realized that her daughter could call "daddy" now.

In an instant, the anger in her eyes disappeared. She quickly picked up her daughter, pinched her chubby little face, and said excitedly, "Our Xin Yao can call daddy. You're so great."

The little one smiled cutely.

Bradley was also overjoyed. It was said that a child would always call "daddy" first when they started to speak. He had been looking forward to his daughter calling him, and unexpectedly, she had just done it.

He also wanted to hold his daughter, but Freya pouted and gave him a glare. The man quickly retracted his outstretched hand.

If he didn't behave himself, his wife wouldn't talk to him for three days and three nights.

"Xin Yao, call mommy." Bradley coaxed.

But the little girl, who was just learning to speak, kept repeating "daddy".

Freya pursed her lips. It was indeed true that a daughter was her father's little sweetheart in a past life.

Just as she was about to take her daughter out, Xin Yao suddenly said "m...a, m...a".

This made Freya so excited that she kissed her hard and said with a smile, "My little sweetheart, you're so good."

Bradley looked at the little woman's satisfied expression and smiled with full indulgence.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Gabriel just called again. He said that Xiaolan's condition has stabilized, and he will come back to Solterra tomorrow to arrange for Lan Xiaoling and the two children."

Freya then shifted her attention from her daughter and looked at him, asking, "Is he coming back to let the children recognize him?"

Bradley nodded, "It's about time. The two children need a father."

"That's good. Manman will be very happy if he knows his background."

Although Manman had been doted on by four daddies since he was a child, Freya believed that in Manman's heart, he still desperately longed for the protection of his biological father.

...

The next day.

Gabriel indeed returned to Solterra on schedule as expected.

The moment he got off the plane, instead of going to see his children first, he rushed to visit Bradley.

When the two brothers met, neither of them looked particularly good.

Bradley's face was pale due to his injury, and Gabriel's face also looked bad because he had been taking care of Xiaolan without rest.

"Are you okay?"

Gabriel sat in front of Bradley, leaning back in the chair with a tired look.

Bradley said, "Don't worry. I won't die from this injury."

They had gone through life and death together for so many years. They had experienced everything, and snatching people's lives from the hands of death was almost routine for them.

After Bradley finished speaking, seeing Gabriel constantly pinching the center of his brows, he asked in return, "What about you? What are you going to do next?"

Among the four brothers, Gabriel's love life had been the most bumpy. After all, he had to take care of two sons, his sister-in-law, and Xiaolan, who might have to lie in bed for the rest of her life, all while having lost his memory.

The burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy.

His love affair was destined not to be perfect.

Gabriel took a deep breath and said, "What else can I do? I should make up for the sins I've caused. So this time I'm back, I plan to take the two children and Lan Xiaoling away. Only in this way can I have more time to be with them and take care of Xiaolan at the same time."

He had been thinking about this issue for the past few days and finally made this decision last night.

He had too many sins on his hands. No matter what Xiaolan ended up like, as a man, he should make up for her and take care of her.

Bradley had expected this and didn't try to persuade him much. He agreed and said, "Okay. No matter what you want to do, your brother will support you."

Gabriel stood up and patted his shoulder, "Take good care of your injury. I'm going to see the children."

He didn't say much and turned to leave the master bedroom. Just as he stepped out of the door, he ran into Freya, who was carrying fruits.

Gabriel gave her a faint smile and then passed by her.

Even with just one glance, Freya could see the bloodshot eyes in Gabriel's eyes. He probably hadn't slept for days.

She was just about to ask him about Xiaolan's condition, but Gabriel walked quickly and disappeared down the corridor in a few steps.

"Freya, what are you standing there for? Come here." Bradley's voice came to her ears. Freya responded with an "oh" and walked in with the fruits.

"I think Mr. Lu doesn't look very well. Is he... okay?"

Bradley squinted at her several times before saying in a hoarse voice, "He's okay. He just came to tell me that he plans to take Yuanman, Yuanbao, and Lan Xiaoling to the headquarters. This way, while taking care of Xiaolan, he can also look after the two children.

Coincidentally, Gabriel used to be in charge of the Dark Web and knows everything about the headquarters very well. This time he goes back, he can also reorganize the Dark Web and take this opportunity to think carefully about his future and what path he should take."

Xu Yan had sent a message saying that Xiaolan's condition was even more serious than expected. Her legs had severe atrophy, and all her body organs were gradually degenerating, which was caused by long-term abuse and lack of exercise.

Even if she could be saved, she would probably have to lie in bed for the rest of her life, and there was a high possibility that she would become a vegetable.

Bradley didn't tell Freya this. After all, their top priority now was Zhou Minsheng, and he didn't want her to be distracted.

"That's good. It saves Mr. Lu from having to run back and forth, which is too tiring." Freya let out a deep sigh.

Even if Bradley didn't say it, as a doctor, how could she not guess Xiaolan's condition?

I'm afraid that the road ahead for Mr. Lu will be very difficult. After all, he has to take care of two children and a "lover" full of scars by himself. This is undoubtedly cruel to him.

Bradley stroked her hair and said, "We've all done our best. How to live in the future and what path to take can only be chosen by Gabriel himself. As outsiders, we can only watch."

Freya nodded and said, "I know."

Although she said that, in her heart, Freya still couldn't stop worrying about Xiaolan's illness.

She had originally planned to go to the headquarters to help after the matter of the Lady was settled. But now, with Zhou Minsheng's situation not looking good, she probably couldn't leave for a short time.
