Byron saw something unusual in Maeve's attitude toward Theo. Their relationship seemed to go far beyond the boundaries of "godmother" and "godson." Theo's behavior

to Maeve. The only explanation was that the sorted this. He did not seem to miss his mother and was more considerate

were indeed mother and son.

Byron narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not enter the ward but turned around and left. He felt the baseless suspicions in his heart were meaningless unless he had concrete proof.

The attending doctor brought Theo to other departments for a thorough examination in the afternoon. "Mrs. Mcdaniel, Mr. Mcdaniel instructed us to do a checkup for you and your son."

Maeve was surprised. She guessed Byron feared something would happen to her and Will, so he made such arrangements. However, Maeve agreed since he had already given the order. 'It's not a bad thing to have a physical examination!'

The examination results came out in the evening. The good thing about First Hospital's VIP service was it had dedicated personnel to provide services, and the physical examination results came with suggestions from the attending physician. There was nothing wrong with Maeve's or her children's body. It was just that their values were not balanced. They all had small problems of gastric deficiency and malnutrition. Maeve, Theo, and WIII were looking at the result when suddenly, the ward door opened.

Seeing Byron come in, they hurriedly hid the results behind their backs. Byron glanced at them and said concisely, "Take it

out."

"Hey, you're off work early today. You used to only come back at half past six," Maeve said awkwardly, trying to divert his attention. "Don't make me repeat myself."

Hearing that, Maeve and her kids reluctantly took out the examination report. Theo, who usually liked to go against Byron, was no exception this time. When he got a high fever, he was unable to sleep. He saw Byron touching his forehead, changing his fever patch, and wiping his sweat with a towel. Theo admitted he was getting better as a person. Seeing Byron was good to Maeve and himself, he gradually acknowledged him as his father.

Byron took the medical reports from their hands and read them carefully. The more he looked, the deeper his frown became. Maeve felt something was not right.

"If I didn't know better, I would have thought you came to the hospital to collect stamps. You guys have gathered all the small ailments." Byron shook the report in his hand and said in a low voice, "Look at this. This report says that you guys are malnourished!" The room became tense. Everyone didn't know what Byron would do. Maeve and her sons could not help but hug eachNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

as usually easy to talk to. But every time this happened, even Maeve was afraid of him. other tightly and tremble. Byron

Being hugged tightly by his mother, Will felt he had to say something. He tried to persuade Byron. "Dad, calm down. The doctor said it's not a big problem. We can all be nursed back to health."

this? You'll never know the severity of a problem until it becomes a big problem!" "What do you know ab Immediately, Will shut up. Meanwhile, Theo pouted. "It's not like we want to get sick ourselves." Byron looked at him. "So, you never planned to grow those cavities in your

mouth?"

After Will had cavities in his mouth, Theo followed. Hence, The immediately shut up. Chapter 347-

'Shoot. He brings up cavities. This stinks!" :0.98%

Theo and Will were speechless. Meanwhile, Maeve looked at the disappointed Byron and could only bite the bullet. "We'll be careful in the future. Even if we don't, you'll be watching us, right? we'll be fine under your care." Byron's face softened, probably because Maeve acted like a Damsel in Distress. He sighed and said, "Pack your things and go home."

'Home. That word made Maeve's heart skip a beat, and her gaze softened.

While they were packing, the phone in Byron's pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was a message. He smirked before putting his phone back into his pocket. It was from Archer: [Mr. McDaniel, The samples have been sent for identification. The results will be out by tomorrow at the latest.] That night, Maeve and her sons began their new, healthier diet.

Will and Theo ate their food with ease. On the contrary, Maeve felt this was torture. She grew sick of eating bland, tasteless food for years living with Byron. However, because Byron was beside her, she could not complain.

After washing up, Maeve lay on the bed and took her phone to look at the messages. That night, Islaton's parents' group chat was quite lively. It was flooded with messages, and the parents were talking about Maeve.

"Sleeping Beauty" from Prerie Class won first place in the Arts and Theatrical Festival and even became a trending topic. It had more than a million likes, making it a pity for the parents of the children who did not participate in the play. Of course, they also knew this play might not be so outstanding without Maeve's costume.

As they chatted, a parent asked: [Is it possible for Ms. Reese to design the new school uniform for next year?]

[It depends on The Principal's decision, but I think the probability is very likely.]

[My child didn't participate in the play. When he watched from below the stage, he cried and demanded a set of that costume. I wonder if Ms. Reese is willing to accept the order.]

[The costume and the school uniform are not the same thing. She has no experience in that field. Can we trust her with such a responsibility?]

[Agreed. I still prefer Faye's design. There's no need to change it, right?]

[Like I said, it depends on The Principal's decision.]

'School uniform design?' Maeve looked at that sentence thoughtfully. She had heard of it before. Islaton's school uniform was changed annually and always designed by a famous designer. The school had the most distinctive school uniform design in all kindergartens. According to the parents in the group chat, Faye designed the school uniform last year. She might fight for it this year. Hence, Maeve thought briefly before sending a message to The Principal of Islaton. She was interested in designing the new school uniform.

The principal soon replied. She wanted ten parents responsible for the new school uniform design. She planned to hold a design competition. The winning designs would become the next school uniform. Of course, there would be a prize for the winner. They would receive a bonus of one hundred grand.

One hundred grand was almost equivalent to Isalanton's annual tuition fee. Thinking of this, Maeve's eyes lit up, and she immediately signed up. All thoughts of teaching Faye how to be a decent human flooded her mind. Beating her was even more satisfying than winning the prize money.

"What are you smiling at?" A deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Maeve was about to turn around when she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist. The warmth of his palm passed

through the thin fabric of her pajamas to her skin, making her body go weak.

"Stop messing around. You know I'm ticklish." Maeve chuckled, and her phone fell beside her pillow.

Byron grabbed her slender waist and dragged her over. With absolute strength, he lay before her. His dark eyes sparkled like the night sky. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
