Despite having seen countless beauties, Tara couldn’t help but be amazed when sheid eyes on Scarlett.
“Hey, gorgeous,” Tara greeted, unable to resist, her eyes practically glued <i>to </i>Scarlett.
Scarlett nodded slightly, “Hello, thank you for bringing my son back. I appreciate it.”
Tara quickly shook her head, “No problem, it’s a traditional virtue to help others.”
As Tara continued to stare at Scarlett, First cleared his throat, trying to break the spell.
Tara snapped back to reality, offering an apologetic smile, “Sorry, your mom is just so beautiful, I couldn’t help but stare.”
First simply sighed, “…”
“Now I understand why you’re so adorable; strong genes!” Tara marveled.
Usually, it’s the women who swoon over the men, but Tara’s unexpected admiration caught First off guard.
He chuckled and quickly ushered her away, “Kind sister, I’m at the hospital now. Thank you for your help, but you can go
home now.<i>” </i>
Ignoring him, Tara moved closer to Scarlett, “So, what do you do, beautiful?”
First was confused, “…???”
Scarlett replied casually, “Programmer.”
“A programmer… spending all day in front of aputer, yet your skin looks so good?” Tara asked, eyeing Scarlett with
envy.
“My mom blessed me with good genes!”
Tara seemed to ignore thement and looked at Scarlett, “Hey, can I add you as a contact?”
Seeing Tara pull out her phone, Scarlett lowered her gaze and after a moment, spoke softly, “Sorry, I was in a car ident

Tara thought for a second, “No problem, just tell me your number, and I’ll add you.”
“Hey, Tara!” First couldn’t help but call out to her.
Scarlett heard this and smiled, “It’s fine.” Then she shared her phone number.
Tara quickly added her, “Got it, just ept itter.”
Scarlett nodded, “Sure.”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.” Tara smiled, then looked at First, “Come on, walk me out, won’t you?”
First nced at Scarlett, who nodded, signaling him to go ahead and deliver the message. Only then did he follow her out.
Outside the door.
Tara looked at him, “Why do you call her ‘kind sister‘ when she’s clearly a pretty sister?”
First couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “Why did you add my mom as a contact?”
“To be friends, of course!” Tara replied, “Since I’m nning to stick around you, I need to get along with your mom!”
“What do you mean by sticking around me?” First asked.
“I’ve decided not to leave for a while. I’m going to enjoy my time here.”
First was speechless.
“Where do you live?”
“Why?”
“I’m thinking of renting a ce nearby so I can see you every day.”
“No way.” First refused and turned to leave.

inside.
First panicked.
He stopped her, “Tara!!!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make it look like a coincidence,” Tara assured him.
First still wasn’t happy about it.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to,” Tara said confidently. “I have a thousand ways to find out.”
First knew that if he didn’t speak up, Tara would keep pestering him.
After a moment of thought, he said, “I’ll send you the address.”
Tara wasn’t worried about being tricked. She smiled contentedly and leaned in to pinch First’s soft cheeks. “That’s a good
boy. I’ll head off now and start packing for the move!”
“Don’t touch my face!” First grumbled, rubbing the spot she pinched with annoyance.
He was old enough that having someone pinch his cheeks and call him cute was irritating!
Tara justughed it off. “If I didn’t know who you were, I might have given you a kiss.”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Want me to try?”
First immediately covered his face, looking at her with a guarded expression.
Usually, he acted all cool, but right now, he looked like a kid, and it was adorable.
“That’s better, you’re so cute when you act like a kid,” Tara said, ruffling his hair.
First was speechless.

Seeing his emotions nearing the breaking point, Tara decided to leave it at that. “I’m off, see <i>you </iter.” With that, she turned around and walked away with a confident stride.
Watching her disappear from view, Alex finally rubbed his face and turned to enter the hospital room.
Alex was ready for a “grilling,” but surprisingly, neither Scarlett <i>nor </i>William seemed inclined to question him.
Seeing the two of them chatting as if nothing had happened, Alex stepped forward and asked, “Grandpa, Scarlett, where
are Charlie and Sam?”
“They’ve already gone to school,” William replied. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Alex and said, “Alex,
you shouldn’t go off on your own anymore. What if you get lost?”
Alex stole a nce at Scarlett, and seeing she had no reaction, he nodded, “Got it.”
“Grandpa, you should go rest. You haven’t slept all night, your eyes are as red as a rabbit’s!” Scarlett said.
“Grandpa will go home, but only to make some soup for you,” William replied, then turned to Alex, “Alex, stay here with you
mom. I’ll be back with some soup, and no wandering off, okay?”
“Okay!” Alex nodded obediently.
Out of the three kids, Alex was the most worry–free and sensible, which reassured William greatly. He didn’t give too many
instructions but instead looked at Scarlett.
“Sweetheart, you rest well. I’ll be back soon.”
“Grandpa…”
“I know what you’re going to say. I’m aware of my health,” William said before hurriedly leaving.
Scarlett knew she couldn’t stop him, but the care he showed made her genuinely happy.

Chapter 89 First confessed,
<b>In </b><b>the </b>hospital room.
Only First and Scarlett were left.
“Mom, do you want some water?” First asked.
Scarlett looked at him directly and asked, “What’s going on with Hugo Hodges?<b>” </b>
“Uh?” First was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected his mom to ask about that.
After thinking for a moment, First decided to be honest. “Fourth added him as a contact, and I’ve seen him downstairs.
Plus, from your conversation with Grandpa, he knows you two are acquainted. Most importantly, he looks a lot like me.”
That resemnce pretty much confirmed Scarlett’s suspicions.
“And so?”
“He’s my dad, isn’t he?” First suddenly looked up at her and asked.
Scarlett was momentarily stunned.
First rarely expressed his emotions or questioned Scarlett about anything. He was always obedient and hever asked
about his dad or where he might be.
Just because he didn’t ask didn’t mean he wasn’t curious.
