Chapter 938: Chapter 932: Lawyer Brother 4

The hearts of the father and son from the Jules family seemed to leap into their throats, fearing that Keira might say something unfavorable to them.

She blinked, gazing dazedly at the white ceiling.

At this moment, Naomi Kirby, full of joy, held her little hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "Keira, you’re awake, do you feel better? Does your stomach still hurt?"

A series of caring inquiries rendered the little child speechless.

This kind of feeling was all too rare.

It seemed that once, long ago, her mother had asked her something similar, perhaps before she turned three...

After that, there was no more.

Her eyes turned red, tears overflowed, and then she cried out loud.

Seeing this, Naomi suddenly felt flustered, worried that her excitement might have frightened Keira.

At this time, Connor Jules seized a small opportunity, striding forward and pushing Naomi out of the way.

Because the force was strong, Naomi couldn’t steady herself in time.

The closest person, Isaac Ford, noticed and caught her.

Connor’s emotions were extremely intense at that moment, his face full of tension and heartache, and he angrily said, "I already said, my sister is afraid of strangers. Do you think she hasn’t suffered enough? Do you really want to make her suffer more? Now, I ask you to leave immediately."

If Tiana Thorne hadn’t previously explained this man’s heartlessness, he would have seemed, at this moment, like a person wholeheartedly protecting his sister.

Naomi believed there were many good people in this world, and in the past, there must have been those who wanted to help Keira, but they gave up because of Connor’s impressive acting skills.

This time, she trusted Tiana and what she saw with her own eyes.

Keira cried not because she feared strangers but because this long-lost concern made her think it was a dream.

At this moment, Connor displayed a deep brother-sister affection: "Keira, tell your brother who hurt you? How could you be so foolish? If anything were to happen to you, what would your brother and dad do?"

Keira said nothing, only cried.

Since her mother abandoned her, she hadn’t cried so freely for a long, long time.

Because she always knew that no matter how loudly she cried or how sad she was, no one would hear.

Now, it seemed different.

Three sisters, they could hear her.

Connor gently wiped her tears and said again, "Don’t cry, darling. If you’re scared, I’ll have them come to see you another day. You need to rest well after the surgery. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll go downstairs to buy it."

Watching this scene, Naomi frowned deeply.

Her ankle had twisted a bit, causing some pain.

Suppressing the pain, she thanked Isaac Ford, then walked over again.

She ignored Connor’s hostile expression and asked in the gentlest, calmest voice, "Keira, do you remember what Sister Naomi said to you at the cemetery?"

This one sentence seemed to have a special magic, and sure enough, Keira stopped crying. She opened her eyes, filled with grievance as she looked at Naomi.

Of course she remembered, answering full of anticipation, "Sister Naomi..."

At this time, Connor angrily interrupted, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble? Don’t you know my sister needs rest? In the end, all of you are outsiders. In Keira’s lifetime, it’s still going to be me and her dad; only we can ensure her safety and happiness."

Hearing this, Keira’s face was filled with fear, like someone trapped in darkness unable to find a way out.

Her mind buzzed, echoing with her brother’s voice.

"Only your brother and dad are your real family. Don’t talk nonsense with others. You will be my sister for life, you must live with us. If you dare to speak to outsiders, I’ll ruin you."

"You disrespectful girl, didn’t I tell you to behave? If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death."

"Aren’t you afraid of heights? As long as you dare to tell anyone what your dad and I did to you, I’ll hang you over a cliff."

"Others will only pity you for a moment. In the end, you’ll still be taken back by me and your dad. If you don’t want to suffer, then behave yourself."

The words her brother said before, those sounds of beating, haunted her like a nightmare, impossible to shake off.

Keira cried desperately, becoming more and more afraid, as if what Connor said was true, that she was afraid to see them.

Just as Connor was about to issue a third expulsion order, Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow and spoke: "Connor, don’t think that speaking like that disguises the violence in your words."

In the midst of her tears, Keira hesitated slightly, blinking as she looked at Tiana.

Tiana’s lazy and cold fox eyes narrowed slightly, and she continued: "You’re well aware of Theo Ford’s intentions. Tiana Thorne here will never allow Keira to live with you forever. Only Naomi Kirby can truly accompany Keira to grow up healthily."

Naomi’s eyes were full of sincerity, her smile warm: "Keira, at the cemetery, Sister’s words were sincere."

Keira gradually stopped crying and reached out toward Naomi.

This scene was truly moving.

The doctor and nurse exchanged glances, roughly understanding what was going on.

Naomi stepped past Connor, holding her small hand: "Keira."

With all the cautiousness in her eyes, she quietly asked, "Sister Naomi, is what Sister Tiana said true? Can I live with you?"

Naomi, seeing that Keira pinned all her hopes on her, suppressed the tearful ache in her eyes and gently nodded: "Yes."

James Jules frowned, in a moment of desperation, instinctively shouted angrily, "You still have the custody and don’t even think about leaving me!"

This shout frightened Keira, causing her to tremble.

Seeing this, Theo Ford looked at him with a cold gaze: "What you just said, I will inform the judge about it in court. James Jules, if I lose this case, I’ll leave the legal profession permanently."

James stumbled slightly, stepping back a bit.

That statement was ruthless.

Theo Ford glanced at him for a moment, then resumed his usual formal tone, saying softly, "The child wishes to live with Naomi; hence, I am now their representative, and you have no right to expel me unless you admit that you want me gone to continue abusing and threatening her."

Connor couldn’t continue opposing at this time. No matter how unwilling he felt internally, he could only nod.

After a moment of silence, he said, "My sister has always been happy living with us, but now suddenly like this, I have reasons to suspect Naomi, Tiana Thorne, and May Sloane have brainwashed her or threatened her in some way, so I must stay by her side. You don’t have the right to expel me, do you?"

Currently, James Jules and Connor are still Keira’s family, so it’s reasonable for them to stay.

Theo Ford: "Alright, but..."

He paused, walking towards Connor, each step closer increasing the coldness of his aura until he stopped in front of him.
