Take My Breath Away

Erica felt a bit guilty upon hearing what Chantel had said. "To be honest, if I had known that I had four babies in my belly when I was still in Y City, I wouldn't have run away from home no matter what," she said. But when she had found that she was pregnant with four babies, she had already left Y City, so there was no turning back anymore. Left with no choice, she had to bite the bullet and move on.

Since the other two babies, who were Colman and Damian now, were too small to be seen in the ultrasound, she was already six months pregnant when they were detected.

No wonder her belly at that time was unusually big. She even wondered if her babies were giant. It turned out there were four of them inside her belly.

When Colman and Damian were born, the doctors needed to incubate them for half a month. Colman's health then relatively improved, but Damian took a longer time. Among the four of them, he had the weakest physical health.

"Fortunately, it's all over now. Erica, don't ever run away from home again," Tessie said with a sigh.

She couldn't help wondering, if all of Erica's sufferings were rewarded, how about her? The whole Su family had left Y City for good. If she returned, where would she go? She knew that Erica wouldn't need her to take care of the four children anymore because they were all doing well with Matthew's parents.

"No, I won't ever run away from home again. I don't want to live in an old-fashioned village that has no Internet access. I even have to fight with other people here most of the time. Life in this village sucks. I want to have my life back in Y City. I will find a stable job, be a good wife to my husband, and a kind mother to my children." She giggled in excitement as she imagined the kind of new life she would have with her family. It was such a beautiful life that everyone was yearning.

Looking at her daydreaming, Chantel chuckled and shook her head helplessly.

Two days later, what Erica had been afraid to happen came.

Since Erica was afraid that she would never have the chance to come back to Tow Village again, she ran around to take photos of the whole place.

On the second day, she came home to have dinner with Tessie. She excitedly put a mouthful of noodles into her mouth, and chewed them leisurely. But before she could even swallow them, she heard a loud noise outside. Bang! Someone kicked their wooden gate from the outside.

The force was strong enough to leave the gate lying on the ground.

he garden with his water gun.

When the boy heard the sound of the car, he looked over and put away his water gun immediately. With a smile on his face, he ran over happily and called out, "Grandpa!"

Erica knew that the boy was Hugo, Chantel's son. She had seen his pictures on her phone countless times.

Her tied hands excitedly patted Wesley's shoulder as she exclaimed, "Dad, that's my nephew, Hugo!"

Wesley didn't even bother to look at her when he replied, "I'm not blind." Of course, he knew that it was his grandson, Hugo, who grew up with them.

'I'm not blind, either. It's my first time to see my nephew in person. Can't I be excited?' she complained inwardly.

The car stopped just right in time that Blair, who fetched a glass of water for Hugo inside the villa, walked out. When she saw the car, her eyes filled with joy.

She knew that Wesley would bring Erica back.

That was the reason why she kept the door of the villa open, and she stayed outside with Hugo. She had been eagerly waiting for her daughter to come back.

"Grandma, is Aunt Rika back?" Hugo asked. Although he hadn't seen Erica personally, he had heard about her many times.

"Yes," Blair answered. Her face showed complicated emotions. She was angry that Erica had run away for too long, but she couldn't also help feeling happy now that she finally came back.

Even if Blair was angry, Erica was still her daughter. Besides, Erica was now a mother to four kids.

Wesley got out of the car first and opened the back door for Erica.

Without minding her tied hands, Erica immediately ran out of the car and threw herself into Blair's arms. "Mom, I'm back."
