Chapter 436
"You're awake. You're finally fine." Vania was glad that he was well.
"How long have I been sleeping?" As Jude tried to recall what had happened, all of it felt like a dream to him. It was
like a dream about what had happened to him the past few years. When he saw how heartbroken Vania looked, he
felt guilty. "Mommy, you must have been very worried about me."
"You have indeed been sleeping for a long time, but everything is fine now," she answered softly.
Hanson walked over and caressed his head to comfort him. He then looked over at April and asked, "Do you need to
perform any more checkups after this?"
Hearing that, April waved his hand and said, "Jude is in good condition. You can bring him home." He then patted
Hanson's shoulder and said, "All of you must have gone through a lot. Get some rest after this."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHanson nodded and thanked him, which startled April as he was more used to the cold and straight-faced Hanson.
"Larry, you can take the week off."
Lary left the hospital delightedly after seeing that Jude had recovered and that Hanson had given him time off from
work. Vania also gave Linda time off from work since they had been a great help along the way. Finally, only their
family remained in the ward.
Vania then held Lily's hand and introduced her to Jude, "This is your new sister, Lily."
"This is your brother, Jude."
After both children greeted each other, Jude was aware that she wasn't the daughter that Vania had been
searching for. However, he felt close to her. He valued her even more, especially after finding out that she had
saved his life.
"Let's go home," Hanson suggested, as he wanted to celebrate this moment now that everything was back to
normal.
Meanwhile, in Haling Villa, Theresa had prepared dinner for the family. She was overjoyed and cried tears of joy
when she saw that all of them were safe and sound.
"Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord," she mumbled incessantly.
Lily, however, had mixed feelings when she saw the scene in front of her. During dinner, Vania told them about
everything they had encountered along the way and introduced everyone in the family to Lily. Everyone got along
well.
"Miss Vania, can I ask for a favor from you?" She looked at her with anticipation. "Can you help me to look for my
birth parents?" Lily had longed to have a family like theirs.
"Sure, I'll promise you that. However, if we don't manage to do so, I'll treat you as my daughter and have you stay
by my side." Vania was one with a sense of responsibility.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing that, Lily looked at her and nodded.
Six of the boys who were seated in front of Lily comforted her, saying, "No matter what happens, we are your
brother, and we will keep you safe."
"Thank you." She smiled at them.
Just then, Hanson, who was seated at the side, craved attention too. "What about me? Shouldn't you change how
you address me?" Four of the children were still calling him by his name.
Four of them replied to him unexpectedly, "What do you want us to call you by?" Hearing that, Hanson raised his
eyebrows as he didn't think that they would agree to his request. He didn't expect them to be agreeable today.
"Would you be willing to address me how I wanted you to?" Hanson purposely didn't mention how he wanted them
to address him.
Just then, Jack looked at him proudly and said, "Didn't you want us to call you Daddy?"
The other three boys seemed arrogant too. From their expression, it seemed to show that it was not a big deal to
address Hanson as Daddy.
Noticing that, Hanson smiled. "So, do you all agree to it?" He was glad that the tough boys were finally going to
accept him.
