Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 538

Indeed, that was what Bill was thinking. However, he was suddenly bereft of words upon seeing Veronique's pale and thin face.

“To tell you the truth, Dad, I've been thinking of leaving Justin. Mrs. Xuereb was right. I'm dying, and Zephyr's condition is unstable. Hence, I shouldn't cling stubbornly to Justin.”

He sighed as he reached out and stroked her head. His distress was evident on his face. “The two of you weren't destined to be together. You'll only end up hurting each other if you insist on staying together. Since it wasn't meant to be, it'll be better to let go now. You need to get lots of rest now. Having the Xuereb family coming to kick a fuss every few days also won't do your health any favors. If you've thought it through, then come home with me.”

She nodded and replied in a tearful voice, “Okay, Dad. I'll do what you think is best.”

Shooting her a satisfied smile, he patted her head before slowly getting to his feet. “I'm going to speak to Justin. If he doesn't agree to it, I'll just have to take you home by force.”

Bill was heading toward the door when a female assistant opened it and walked in. She said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Revelle, Mr. Xuereb received a call asking him to return home as something came up. He just left the medical base and instructed me to let the two of you know.”

“All right. Got it.” He watched the assistant leave, then turned toward Veronique. “See? Justin rushes off at the slightest hint of trouble at home, so he's not the type of man who would prioritize a woman over his parents. Given a choice between you and his parents, he'd probably pick them.”

Hearing that, she could not help laughing. “I've already agreed to go with you, so you don't have to provoke me anymore. I'm not a fool, Dad. I know how to weigh the pros and cons. You'd better go and arrange for someone to pick us up. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave after Justin comes back.”

“Right. I'll make the arrangements now.”

At the Xuereb residence, the sound of people sobbing bitterly could be heard coming from the living room.

One of them was Olivia, while the cries of the other sounded unfamiliar. Nonetheless, someone who would weep with Olivia had to be a relative or a close family friend.

Olivia sprang up from the couch, hurried up to him, and fell to
