My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Cooper decided not to go and stayed by Amanda's side instead.

Steven subsequently dropped by.

It was just as Cooper had imagined. There were no surveillance cameras in the stairwell, while the one beside the freight elevator had been shut off. There was just no way they could find Amanda's kidnappers.

Steven asked softly, “If they really wanted to hurt Mandy, why did they take the trouble to throw her into the freight elevator?”

Cooper was just as confused as Steven was.

He would rather believe that a mentally unsound patient had accidentally run into Amanda and locked her in the freight elevator as a prank.

If the perpetrator had ill intentions, they could have made a move when Amanda was in the stairwell, and she would have lost her life.

Once Amanda had gotten enough sleep, Cooper helped her get changed.

Sally, who had been standing outside the ward, stood at attention and looked at Cooper when the latter emerged from the ward with Steven.

Unfortunately, Cooper didn't spare her a glance as he walked past her with Amanda in his arms.

“Aunt Sally.” Leaning against Cooper's shoulder, Amanda turned around to look at Sally. “We're going over to my aunt's place for a meal. Why don't you come with us?”

“She'll be eating somewhere else. There's no need to worry about her,” Cooper flatly replied as he quickened his pace.

Watching them enter the elevator, Sally couldn't help but feel unsettled.

She didn't blame Cooper for being angry at her, for she had indeed made a mistake. If they hadn't searched the freight elevator, Amanda would have died in there without anyone knowing.

After failing to protect Genevieve, she had now let Cooper down a second time.

Meanwhile, as everyone had to take turns taking care of Herbert, all of them stayed at the Zeigler residence.

Even though many in the family were married, few of them had kids.

Thus, when the adorable and sweet-smiling Amanda arrived, she brightened up the mood in the home instantly.

Even though members of the Zeigler family knew about what had happened with Armand and Genevieve, all of them acted normally in front of the two children.

By the time dinner was over, it was already past eight. Cooper and two children subsequently spent the night there.

The weather was beautiful the next day, and Cooper remembered that Amanda had wanted to go to Disneyland. Therefore, he planned to get Steven to go with them after breakfast.

However, Amanda suggested, “Mr. Sullivan has to take care of Granddad at the hospital. Why don't you get Aunt Sally to come with us instead?”

“In that case, we'll just get Mr. Sullivan to switch with Uncle Yuvan,” Cooper replied.

“But I want Aunt Sally to come with us.” Amanda tugged his hand and shook it. “It has already been one night, Uncle Cooper. Stop being angry at Aunt Sally. It really isn't her fault.”

Cooper stared intently at her. “I'm your real uncle. Why are you siding with an outsider?”

“She's not an outsider. She's my aunt.” Amanda added, “Even if she's at fault, I forgive her. Will that do? Uncle Cooper, it would make me happy if you invited Aunt Sally to join us. How about that?”

Amanda, proficient at acting cute, stared at Cooper with her big innocent eyes. They were capable of melting anyone's heart and dissipating the anger one harbored.
