You're The Best Medicine For Me

In the past years, in order to exact revenge, she had spent much time on the blending of fragrance and learning psychological skills. She forgot that these two children of hers needed an adult's love and care. She didn't even notice anything unusual about them.

This was all because of her carelessness as a mother.

Despite still feeling angry, most of her fury had evaporated thanks to this little kid's words.

It seemed that Bryan hadn't suspected their identities yet. Coupled with the fact that their faces had all those stickers, Shirley felt like she could put herself at ease.

"We are going home now!" She got some tissue papers from the table to clean Emma's moist cheeks.

Then, she looked at Jacob.

Jacob looked up to meet her eyes while his hand was fidgeting with a toy gun. Then, he jumped down from the chair and put back the toy gun on the table before jogging towards Shirley.

They knew very well that Shirley didn't have it easy to survive till this day, and it could be said that both his and his sister's life were saved by her.

They would never resort to rebelling and throwing tantrum against their mother.

Jacob pulled Shirley's hand and said, "Mummy, let's go home."

Shirley tightened her grip on his hand, and she turned around to leave.

Before she could move away, Bryan caught up to him. He stood in their way with the toy gun in his hand, "This toy gun is a gift for Jacob."

Shirley frowned at him, and she still felt a frustration at him. However, she needed private space to have a talk with him.

She put Emma on the ground and announced, "We need to talk."

Bryan was very cooperative. He called Jordan to summon him. Jordan came in and took the children away. When they were leaving, he shoved the toy gun into Jacob's hands. "Let's sit." He pulled a chair on the side in a gentlemanly gesture.

However, Shirley didn't sit down on that chair. She directly pulled another chair nearer to her and sat down.

She never once allowed her gaze to connect with him.

She didn't dare to do that, as if once she did that, the things from her past would all resurface.

Bryan's expression darkened as his grip on the chair became tensed. He went back to his chair while saying, "You have scared the children."

"Mr. Moore, this job..."

"You're trying to forsake your duty, aren't you?" Before she could finish, Bryan interrupted her menacingly.

She looked up abruptly and saw the man's bloodshot eyes.

She had seen many stubborn and weird patients, but Bryan was the one and only patient who had intruded into her private life thus far. The most important part of this was that he was the two children's biological father.

Although she was being selfish, she still wanted to hide the children away to the point that it would be best if he never learnt of the existence of his two children.

"I'm not trying to resign. This time, I want to make it clear to you that your personal antics have troubled me greatly. I plan to book an early flight tomorrow morning to go back to America. You can look for another psychologist." Besides this, there was nothing more she wanted to tell him.

She stood up looking like she was about to leave.

Bryan lashed out and grabbed her wrist, "I just brought them out to have fun. Why are you making me look like I'm trying to take your children away? The way you are behaving, I am starting to suspect whethe those two are my flesh and blood."

Immediately after he said this, he was stunned by his own words.

How could this be?

Six years ago, he only had an intimate relationship with Sabina. If he really had a child out there, he would have known who the mother was.

However, Shirley was so spooked that her body had gone cold. She was even stammering, "You... How could you... be the children's father? You're one crazy bastard who sees other's children as yours." When Bryan noticed something unusual with her facial expression, he tightened his grip on her wrist and took a big step forward. His sharp gaze met her eyes, "You look like you are guilty about something. So those children are mine?"

"Impossible." Shirley intuitively placed her palm against his chest and pushed him.

"Ugh!" Bryan's face changed, and he also let go of her hand. He clutched his chest while collapsing to a chair.

Shirley was shocked by his reaction and she was immediately concerned out of habit, "You... What's wrong with you..."

"I have two broken rib bones, so what do you think... is happening?" His chest felt like someone had hammered him. Bryan was sunken into a frown.

Cold sweat trickled down his face and his lips started to turn white.

Shirley was shocked to see his lips draining of colour. Just a moment ago, she had pushed him without thinking because she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

And she happened to push him where he was most hurt.

She gritted her teeth as she lamented this man for not knowing how to protect himself. Despite the injuries, he was still out there loitering.

"I am going to call your assistant here. Wait for a while."

"Don't go!"

He reached out, wanting to hold her hand, but Shirley had left his side without looking back at the restaurant.

Bryan clenched his fists and landed a strong one on the table.

This damned woman, she hadn't answered him yet.

Why did she always have that fearful expression whenever she saw him together with her children? Based on her reaction, it was as if she was afraid that he would take them away. However, that fateful night six years ago, the one he had slept with was Sabina. If he were to have children, they would be born from Sabina's womb. He couldn't recall sleeping with anyone other than Sabina. After all, after that night, he had ramped up his cautious nature against all women. He was very sure that aside from Sabina, he never allowed any woman to get close to him.

After Shirley had left, Jordan came in.

"Mr. Moore."

"Where are they?"

He was natural referring to Shirley and the kids.

Jordan replied, "Dr. Thomas came out just now to call me in. She then left with the kids first. Mr. Moore, let me send you to the hospital."

Bryan tried to move his body, but he realized that his left ribs were hurting crazily.

"How did she get here?"

"I was the one who sent her here."

This meant that she didn't come here in her own vehicle. "Send her back now."

"But, Mr. Moore..."

"Summon the medical staffs here." He slowly straightened his body and placed his weight on the back of the chair. He titled his head and shut his eyes.

His mind once again replayed the words of that woman. His lips trembled and spoke again, "Call the ambulance from Thea Hospital; I need to be admitted to the hospital. Tell that woman that she has to run he plan starting tomorrow. Move all the necessary documents to the hospital from the company."

Jordan was stunned at his words. True, Scarlett might be right. Dr. Thomas was an exception to Mr. Moore.

"Roger."

After Jordan had settled the matters here, he drove around to scour for Shirley and the kids. He finally saw them by a road outside the swimming pool.

He stopped the car five meters away from them and got off it. He walked to the front of Shirley and offered, "Dr. Thomas, please get in."

The two kids both stared at her without making a sound.

Shirley frowned and complained, "What about you, Mr. Moore? Are you going to leave him alone in that place?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
