in the authed imag Sebastian, gazing at Hazel with a soft expression, perfectly embodied the essence of tender affection.

He furrowed his brow and suddenly felt a sense of tension.

Gabriel took out the new medication prescribed by the doctor from his drawer, and the bitter taste immediately brought him back to his senses.

Joshua, seeing that his father hadn’t replied, felt a little confused and distressed. He wondered if Gabriel hadn’t seen the photo.

Leila really liked Sebastian, who looked so bright when he smiled. She couldn’t help but smile back at him when their eyes met.

“Sebastian, pretty.”

The word “pretty” from Leila carried no sarcasm. She genuinely thought Sebastian was very handsome.

She tugged at her two little pigtails and then pointed at Sebastian’s casually tied hair behind his head.

With a grin, she said to him, “Leila has two.”

Sebastian gazed gently at Leila and said, “Well, you are pretty too.”

Leila, receiving the compliment, smiled so brightly and then focused seriously on her meal Seeing Jaxon peeling shrimp for Leila, Joshua followed suit, trying to peel shrimp as well His movements were a bit clumsy, but he was so pleased to see Leila’s happy smile that it gave him a deep sense of fulfillment as her elder brother.

Although, in the end, only a little bit of shrimp meat was left, this was already a big improvement for Joshua, who had always avoided doing anything.

“You guys eat it yourself. Leila can’t finish so much.”

Hazel said as she peeled two shrimp for Jazon and Joshua, rewarding them while also encouraging them to eat first.

Even though they were only six, the two brothers were eager to give everything to their sister. This was a scene she couldn’t have imagined the day she reunited with them in Nyack Jaxon and Joshua would also serve Hazel with the food.

While Leila, sitting in her children’s chair, said occasionally, “Mommy, please enjoy your meal Hazel’s eyes were full of motherly love.

Sebastian briefly lost his train of thought, only to be snapped back by Leila calling out to him. The vegetables that Leila loved to eat happened to be on Sebastian’s side. She tugged at his sleeve and said, “Sebastian, I want it.”

Sebastian was momentarily stunned but served her some vegetables.

Leila said politely, “Thank you.” Then she lowered her head and continued eating earnestly, her cheeks puffing out with each bite, which was incredibly cute.

Sebastian inexplicably thought of the summer after graduating from the third year of middle

school.

It was when he first saw Hazel.

That day, after playing basketball with his friends, he walked into the living room and immediately saw the quiet girl sitting on the sofa, her delicate features and slim figure making him wonder if she even ate regularly.

Over the next three years…

The thing he did most was check if she had meals regularly.

Later, when he saw Hazel become healthier, no longer looking malnourished, he felt happier than anyone else.
