One Night Surprise

Chapter 429 I’m Lawfully Your Mother

After checking up with all of the patients in the hospital during the entire noon, Courtney was invited to sit in to watch the operation of two pediatrics surgeries before she could even have lunch.

Although these surgeries weren’t really related to child psychology, it would be really helpful for her career in the pediatrics field in the future if she could have the comprehensive ability for these cases. With enough understanding of these cases, it could also help her with her research in child psychology as well.

At night, Courtney could smell the scent of cookies upon entering her house after coming back from work.

“Are you baking again?”

She leaned toward the kitchen to take a glance. As expected, the two children were busy running around the kitchen.

When Angie heard Courtney’s voice, she turned around. “You’re finally back. I thought that you’ll stay at the hospital and not care about us anymore.”

“Who else can take care of you guys besides me?” Courtney gave her a look. “I bet Elijah can’t keep you guys in check anymore.”

Right then, Angie looked taken aback. It seemed like she came to a realization before she quietly went behind the kitchen door.

“What? Are you afraid to admit what you’ve done?” Courtney changed into her house slippers before entering the house. “Are you planning to let me tell you about it, or are you going to come clean yourself?”

While there was no movement in the kitchen, Tina turned around before chiming in, “Mommy, I made some cranberry nougats, and you can bring some to the hospital for the patients.”

“Let’s talk about that tomorrow. I might have to send Angie to the airport later.”

“Airport?” Angie immediately emerged from the kitchen with an anxious look on her face. “I’m not going back to America.”
