Chapter 1723 Let's Go Together
"Mr. Quirke, it's good to see you.”
As soon as he entered, Mrs. Zora greeted him, but she looked worried. "Little Lady and the little masters are
upstairs. I don't know what happened these two days, but the kids have been in a bad mood because Sir and Mrs.
Lawrence haven't returned home."
Andrius knew what she did not know.
After hearing this, he looked upstairs and felt distressed. He could not think of an excuse that could make them feel
better.
However, the clock was ticking, and he had no time to hesitate.
Andrius nodded at Mrs. Zora. 'TH go upstairs and take a look."
Mrs. Zora nodded.

The three little ones were sitting dejectedly in the bedroom.
"Lucian, I’m afraid."
Estelle looked at Lucian like a frightened little animal." What's happening to Mommy? Why isn’t she back home
yet?"
Lucian frowned and appeased her in his cute voice. "Don't be afraid. Mommy said she just has a fever, and Daddy
will
take good care of Mommy. Don't you trust Daddy?"
Estelle and Nox hesitated.
Of course, they believed Daddy, but...
Mommy did not look like she only suffered from a fever. Moreover, they had lost contact with her for a few days
before this...
Looking at his worried brother and sister, Lucian pursed his lips as he pondered.
He had promised Daddy that he would take good care of his brother and sister, physically and emotionally!
A knock came on the door when he was pondering.
When he got out of bed and opened the door, the little boy's heart sank when he saw the person at the door.
"What's the matter, Uncle Andrius?"
Andrius noticed the gloomy look in Lucian’s eyes. He felt sorry for him but tried to keep calm as he said, "I'm here
to pick you up because I need your help."
Lucian vaguely sensed it had something to do with Mommy and nodded as he headed out of the room.
"I want to follow."
Nox and Estelle also got out of bed and rushed toward the door.
Andrius seemed troubled and said, "You guys wait at home. I'm here to ask for Lucian's help."
Lucian also tried to convince them. 'Til be back soon. You guys wait for me at home. What if Mommy comes back

The little ones, however, were unconvinced and looked at them stubbornly.
"No! We’re going too! What if Lucian goes away and never returns like Mommy and Daddy?"
Andrius was taken aback and did not know how to reject them.
Lucian also frowned and waited for Andrius to say something.
Looking at the three pairs of innocent and cute eyes, Andrius could not reject them. He nodded helplessly. "Okay. I'll
bring all of you there."
He felt troubled deep down.
Hopefully, by the time they arrived, Byron would already be waiting at the institute.
Otherwise, he would not have the heart to tell the little ones the truth, much less to lie to them...
They headed downstairs and saw Mrs. Zora approaching them with insulated lunch boxes.
"Mr. Quirke, I've prepared some food. It's already so late. Take these and have it with Sir and Mrs. Lawrence."
Andrius was touched. He nodded silently and took over the lunch boxes.
