Chapter 404
Gale was still expressionless. He glanced at the petite shadow lying on the table, and his heart softened for no reason.

He rubbed the armrest of his seat with his palm and casually instructed the butler, “Get her a blanket. Don’t let her illness get worse. It’ll be a waste of my medicine.”
The butler’s smile widened. “Yes.”
The butler covered the sleeping Maeve with a blanket. He accidentally saw a small crescent birthmark on the exposed half of her neck.
It was very shallow. It looked like a mark that had been accidentally pressed out. One could not see it clearly at a glance.
The butler was stunned.
He remembered that Gale seemed to have a similar birthmark on the back of his neck, but the color was darker. ‘It was probably… a coincidence.
When the yacht docked, Maeve was still unconscious.

For some reason, Gale did not ask anyone to wake her up. It was as if he wanted to see how long she could sleep.
Of course, he couldn’t see it.
Byron brought his men up. His slender legs took swift and fierce steps, and the corner of his shirt was slightly lifted by the sea breeze. He looked as imposing as an emperor on a tour.
The sunglasses covered his eyes, but it made his cold face even more
unfathomable.
Gale had been in a high position for a long time and was used to seeing all kinds of people. His eyesight was also quite sharp.
This was the first time he realized that he could not see
through the young
man in front of him.
Just like the sea under the night sky.
On the surface, the waves were calm, but no one
knew what turbulent undercurrents
were
hidden beneath.
“Thank you, Mr. Soar, for saving my girlfriend. I’ll definitely thank you another day,” Byron said calmly. “I’ll bring Maeve back.”
Gale nodded. “There’s no need to thank me. Hurry up
and take her away.”
Byron nodded slightly and walked to Maeve, who was still sleeping soundly. He wrapped her body with his windbreaker, picked her up horizontally, and strode out.
Gale caught his unnatural movements and couldn’t help but look into his eyes.
His own eyes were not very good, so he was more sensitive in this aspect.
Therefore, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Byron’s eyes. He did not show it on his face. However, he was thinking that if she was his daughter, he would never let her be with a young man with bad eyesight. After they left, the butler felt that Gale’s mood seemed to have returned to normal. He asked, “Mr. Soar, are we going back?”
Gale pressed the corners of his eyes and looked uninterested. “Let’s
go
back.”

“Yes,” the butler looked at the spot where Maeve was originally sitting and suggested carefully, “Mr. Soar, Ms. Reese still has half of the fish left in the kitchen. Do you think we should send back to Ms. Reese?”
“She didn’t even take a few bites of the sashimi. Isn’t it a waste to send it back to her?” Gale said reluctantly. “Change it to crabs or lobsters and send her a box.”
When the butler heard that they were all seafood that Maeve had picked up the most, he immediately smiled. “Yes.”
After a few seconds, Gale frowned and went back on his word. “Forget it. Why would a girl eat so much cold food?”
“What about something like gifts?”
“Do as you see fit.”
In the First Hospital.
Maeve was in such a deep sleep that she did not wake up even after the physical examination.
The doctor repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body, and there were no knockout drugs in her body. She was only unconscious because she was weak during her menstrual period and had suffered a cold.
The two little ones couldn’t take it anymore, but what happened today frightened them too. They stuck close to Maeve and refused to move away even when they were asleep.
Byron picked up Maeve and placed a pillow between the two little ones. Then, he placed her on his bed.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her cheeks were cold.
Byron lay down and pulled her into his arms. He used his body temperature to expel the coldness from her body and placed his heating palm on her abdomen to warm her up.
It was not a comfortable experience to soak in the water during her menstrual period. Maeve did not expect that she would still have the energy to fish when she was just saved out of the water.
That was why she dared to eat the seafood banquet without worry.
In the end, just as she finished eating, retribution came.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, she did not feel very uncomfortable, but she was cold, everywhere of her body.
It wasn’t until she felt a big stove approaching that her hands, feet, and stomach slowly warmed up. The omnipresent cold air was imperceptibly dispelled a lot.
While Maeve was unconscious, Theo finally extracted the essence of the medicine. He wanted to take advantage of the weekend to treat Byron’s eyes.
When Maeve woke up,
she heard the two little ones bargaining with Byron.
“I usually don’t ask for a fee when treating people. It’s all based on how much the other party thinks they’re worth.” The little Theo stroked his chin in an old–fashioned manner. “I’ll contribute a little no matter how much you give me. After all, we’re not related. Our relationship isn’t that good that I can work for you for free, right?”
He was just short of sticking two pieces of beard on himself and saying herself as an old doctor.
Will naturally helped him. “Dad, Theo went through all the medical books to treat your eyes. He spent a lot of effort. It’s really tough.”

The implication was that it was not easy to work. Please give me more.
Byron wanted to laugh when he heard this. A little sesame glutinous rice ball was blatantly making money from him, while the other side was helping him ask for money from his biological father. Could it be that he could bully children?
Byron took out his checkbook and wrote a string of numbers on it. Then he pushed it onto the table. “Is this enough?”
When he saw the number on the check, Theo’s round eyes turned into stars. On the surface, he pretended to be reserved. “That’s all. When my mommy wakes up, I’ll treat you…”
“Mommy’s awake!” Will saw Maeve’s expression of standing by and ran over in surprise.
Theo crawled off the sofa and handed the check to Maeve. “Mommy, look! Baby has so much money again! Baby will take care of you in the future!”
Maeve was overjoyed. “Didn’t you work hard to earn this? You will give it all to Mommy?”
“Yes! Buy Mommy beautiful dresses! Dress up beautifully and find me a gentle daddy!” Theo emphasized the word ‘gentle‘ and stuffed the check into his mommy’s hand. “It’s enough for Mommy to find ten!”
As soon as he said this, Byron’s ambiguous voice came from behind. “Ten stepfathers. I wonder if your little butt is enough for them to hit. Tsk.”
Theo suddenly felt a chill on his buttocks and silently tiptoed.
Maeve glanced at him and smirked.
When it came to his own professional field, Theo was still very reliable.
He and Will went home to get their things. Only Maeve and Byron were left in the ward.
The aftermath of yesterday’s conversation had yet to subside, so the atmosphere at this moment was strange.
Maeve looked down at the snow–white blanket and did not know what to say.
Byron did not speak either. He leaned his head against the sofa and seemed to be resting.
