You're The Best Medicine For Me

Chapter 16: The Two Babies Were United

Shirley narrowed her eyes when she had caught sight of Jacob, and she swiftly marched towards him

while taking Emma by her hand.

The children stared into each other’s eyes as they knew what was going to happen next.

Their Mommy was extremely intelligent, so it would be impossible to bluff their way out of this.

Jacob had decided to strike the first blow as he laid out his reasons, “Don’t ask me about it, Mommy.

I’ve promised you that I won’t simply mess around, so it means that I’m not acting recklessly this time. I

just couldn’t bear the sight of those bad guys bullying you, Mommy, and Emma has felt this way too.

She has even almost run out to go to you due to anxiousness after knowing that you’ve been

victimized.”

Shirley was taken aback by his preemptive strike. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Emma immediately raised her head and stared at her with her teary eyes as she added, “Don’t blame

Jacob, Mommy. It’s me whom has missed you, so that’s why I’ve asked him to do that.”

“A man must bear the consequences of his own acts, so the incident today is on me. I’ve done it

because Mildred has told us the truth.” Jacob straightened his back and put on an unsmiling face as he

uttered with dignity.

Emma pulled her hand away and quickly ran to his side, and she said determinedly while grabbing his

hand, “I’m also involved in this, Mommy. If you are going to punish us for what we’ve done, you have to

do it to both of us.”

Emma’s tears were like a running tap as they kept rolling down her cheeks as she proclaimed.

She was very concerned about her mother as she had to work hard to support them while dealing with

those damned wretches on the side which had made her heart ache.

If Daddy could be gentler to Mommy and rush to her side to protect her in the first place all the time like

today, she would not have to be bullied by those evildoers.

Shirley had originally wanted to discipline Jacob for the mess that he had created, but the sight of him

keeping a straight face while waiting to be ‘put to death’ determinedly and Emma blubbering had

tugged at her heartstrings all of a sudden.

In the end, she stooped down and wrapped them in her arms while gently patting their backs with both

her hands as she said, “Don’t cry anymore, Mommy won’t blame the both of you.”

“Are you really not upset with Jacob and me?” Emma grabbed her clothes and buried her face into

Shirley’s embrace as she rubbed off her tears on her clothes.

Shirley’s heart was moved by their intention to protect her, and she proceeded to caress Emma’s head

as she replied, “No, I’m not. We must act on principles and behave with dignity, so we should not do

things that will bring harm to others. However, if someone intends to do harm to us, why should we

stand by and let them have their way? Both of you have done a great job today.”

She must say that she was indeed immensely gratified when she was watching that video.

Jacob raised his head and stared at Shirley in astonishment, “You’re really… not blaming me,

Mommy?”

Shirley turned to him and shot him a solemn gaze, “What has Mildred said to you?”

“This…” Jacob lowered his gaze as his eyes swirled around, and he replied after shooting a glance at

Emma, “We both know the story between you and Daddy, and what you have been through, Mommy.”

Shirley’s face had turned ghastly at that moment.

She had never thought that this unreliable Mildred would even divulge her past to her two babies.

“Don’t blame Mildred. It’s Emma whom has used your fragrance to hypnotize her to disclose your

secret.”

“How could you tell on me, Jacob!” Emma glared at him with utter disbelief displaying on her face, and

she promptly raised her hand to scratch his body while Jacob tried to defend himself from her attack.

Shirley rose to her feet and proceeded to rub her throbbing temples after the truth had come to light.

How could she forget that Emma had secretly learnt all those psychological tactics behind her back to

be able to pull off something like this? Furthermore, her hypnosis skill was also exceptional.

It seemed that she had to lock the laptop and the fragrance away from now on so that they won’t be

able to get their hands on them.

Cameron was completely mystified by their conversation as he listened on while standing beside them.

After he had watched the two children making their way into the villa while still fighting against each

other, he quickly walked up to Shirley and asked, “Are you still going to visit the Moore family tonight,

Shirley?”

“No. I’ll cook dinner tonight.” She had dug into Bryan’s profile when she had returned from overseas,

and it seemed like he was an obsessive workaholic whom could sustain his work mode for twenty-four

hours per day unwearyingly like a robot. In order for someone like him to willingly obey the daily

schedule that she had wanted him to follow, she had decided to let him endure for some more time…

She was confident that the Moore family would ask for her again in no time!
