Chapter 11 Love At First Sight

Emmeline hailed a cab after leaving the hospital.

Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus were still in the Ryker home. She had to pick them up.

Alana claimed Adrien Ryker to be the father to her three children and that revelation was a tough pill to swallow.

She had to know who the father was no matter who he turned out to be.

What if Hesperus’s blood disorder relapsed?

Despite her status as the child’s biological mother, they were not a match.

The driver found the location of Ryker Mansion through Waze.

“There are two of them listed,” the driver started. “Landon or Lewis? Which one are you going to?”

“Lewis,” Emmeline answered.

Her assistant, Benjamin, had thoroughly investigated the Ryker family.

Abel had brought Timothy home fairly quickly.

All three children, Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus rushed up to him to greet him.

“Are you okay? You had us worried.”

“Your arm’s bruised. Does it hurt?”

“If Mommy were here, she would be heartbroken!”

“I met a really pretty lady today,” Timothy explained. “She looks like how I imagined Mommy to be!”

“She’s definitely nothing compared to our Mommy.”

“Our Mommy is pretty. She’s the prettiest woman alive!”

“Yeah! She’s the most beautiful person to walk on land.”

“But she wasn’t just beautiful. She could fight too,” Timothy argued. “She jumped and caught me. She’s a hero!”

“Our Mommy can fight too. She can jump from the second floor to the first like it’s nothing.”

“Are you sure you’re not talking about our Mommy, Timothy?”

“Huh?” Timothy puffed out his cheeks. “How would I know? I’ve never seen your Mommy.”

“Mommy will be here to pick us up soon. You can meet her in a bit.”
