Chapter 122
Just then, Theresa’s mobile phone rang in the quiet bedroom. Charlie took a look at the phone she put beside
the pillow, reached for it, turned off the alarm and put it back.
Theresa slept for a while before she woke up. Without an alarm, she woke up with Leonard and Ben in her mind.
Then she was surprised to see Charlie here. “Didn’t you go to work?” Her throat was dry from the fever, and
her voice was hoarse.
Charlie handed her a glass of water. “Take the medicine.”
Theresa reached for the glass and water, took the medicine, and asked weakly, “What time is it?”

“What?!” Theresa hadn’t heard the alarm. She had thought there was plenty of time. After hearing Charlie’s
words, she quickly checked her phone. It was a quarter past four! She was in a sort of breakdown. “Why is it so
late? Didn’t my alarm ring?”
“It rang, and I turned it off for you.” Charlie said, “You should rest until you’re well, and don’t worry about
anything else.”
Theresa glanced at him. For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should thank him for his kindness”, “I have
something urgent.” Although it was too late now, she couldn’t wait to pick up the kids. She didn’t care about
anything else, and was about to get out of bed. Charlie reached out and pushed her back to the bed with great
determination. Theresa looked at him and said anxiously, “What are you doing? I really have something
to do!”
“Look at you. Where can you go now?” Charlie was a stickler. If he didn’t let her go, she couldn’t go anywhere. “I’m
going to pick up the children.”
“Give the address to Jonathan and have him go.”
She couldn’t have him go. What if Jonathan saw Leonard and Ben’s faces? She had worked hard to keep it from
being exposed to the public. She refused, “No, The kindergarten has a rule that parents have to get their
children. I usually pick them up by myself, and others can’t.”
“I’m the rule here. I’ll have Jonathan do it. Don’t worry! He won’t lose your children.”

Theresa was shocked at Charlie’s words. She certainly knew that Jonathan would not lose the children. Seeing
Charlie’s insistence, she could only find a reason, “Jonathan is not a relative of the children, but a stranger.
Could he be successful?”
“Why not?” Charlie calmly looked at Theresa and said, “Don’t worry, as one of my people, he can manage it.”
In this city, there was nothing that he, Charlie Calsis, couldn’t manage.
He said this just to make Theresa trust him. However, for Theresa, Charlie’s words, far from reassuring, set off an
alarm in her head. What Charlie could do, so could his family! She had thought that Leonard and Ben were
safe in the kindergarten. But now, she even began to worry about the safety of them. If one day the Calsises
really wanted to rob her of the children, would she have any chance of winning?
Seeing Theresa looking at him with wide eyes, Charlie said softly, “Go to sleep at ease.”
At ease? How could Theresa be at ease? Her heart was burning now, and there was only worry.
