“It’s nothing. Just rest well. I’lle see you again tomorrow,” Skr said hurriedly, eager to get back and talk to herwyer.

b“/bMommy, can you take me with you?” Adam looked at her with teary eyes. “Please, I’m begging you”

Skr couldn’t resist his pleading look and awkwardly avoided his gaze. “You’ll have to ask your

dad if he’ll allow it. If he agreesb, /bI’ll take byou /bbhome/b.

Yosef pondered. Having Adam with Skr meant two things: one, he could receive prompt treatment if he had an episode, and two, he could keep an beye /bon her and stay informed of her whereabouts.

To him, that was a win–win situation.

Yosef’s eyes flickered. He didn’t stop them. “If you want to go, just go. I’ll trouble Ms. Lambert to look after Adam.”

Skr hadn’t expected Yosef to agree so readily–she was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Mommy, you said if Daddy agreed, you’d take me home,” Adam said, holding his little head high and blinking his clear, bright eyes.

“Don’t worry, I keep my word.” Skr didn’t refuse. She liked Adam, too.

Besides, having him around would make it easier for her to monitor his health and catch any signs of trouble early.

Since she’d agreed to this, she would do it properly. After all, Yosef had paid a hefty sum–she had to deliver. She didn’t want himing after herter.

“I’ll have Adam’s things sent over,” said Yosef.

Skr nodded. “There’s no need to send too much, Mr. Campbell. If anything’s missing, I can just take him shopping.”

Yosef pulled out his wallet and handed her a ck card. “Use this.”

Outside, Elianna’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the card.

It was one of only three limited–edition ck cards in the world. With no spending limit, it wasn’t just ba /bcard–it was a symbol of status.

Two of the cards were with the Lambert family. The third was with Yosef.

She had always wanted that card, but he had never once offered it to her.

And inow/i, right in front of her, he handed it straight to Skr. To her, wasn’t that a p in the face?

Jealousy surged through Elianna like wildfire. She couldn’t hold back. Completely losing herposure, she lung the door open and walked in.

Yosef was still holding out the card, his face darkening. “Didn’t you leave?”

“If I had, I wouldn’t have caught this little scene,” Elianna said with a biting tone. “Yosefb, /bisn’t bit /ba bit inappropriate to give that ck card to her?”

“And why would it be inappropriate?” His itone /icarried a hint of anger. b“/bIt’s my card. I give it to whoever I want.”

Elianna’s eyes welled up. “You can’t give it to her.“/

Skr hadn’t nned on epting it. But with Elianna making such a fuss, even ring at her with such resentmentb, /bshe could no longer brefuse /bbto /bbenjoy /b

the drama.

“Well, thank you, Mr. Campbell,” she said, epting the card.

Elianna lunged to grab it, but Skr swiftly dodged and tucked it into her pocket.

Elianna was seething with rage. She wanted nothing more than to scratch that seductive face of Skr’s.

“What do you think you’re doing, Elianna?” Yosef snappo

Elianna snapped back to reality. “Yosef, this card is too important. If you give it to her so publicly, people might start gossiping–bit’ll /bbbe /bbad for bher /breputation.”

“bIt’s /bfor Adam,” Yosef reminded. “He’s too young to carry it himself so

Elianna forced a stiff smile. “Ah, I see…

I’m giving it to Skr.”
