Elissa replied, gently caressing Brantley's head.

Raphael was rendered speechless by this statement.

Meanwhile, Leyla, who was playing with her toys at the Evans mansion, seemed to have sensed something, and she suddenly sneezed.

Leyla had caught a cold.

She was in Edwin's study where there was a small pink fort for her.

Myrna used to crawl in there to play with her dolls when she was little, but now, it was Leyla's spot.

The moment he noticed that the girl seemed under the weather, Edwin put aside his files and went over to her side. “What's wrong, Leyla?" he asked in concern. “Are you ill?"

Leyla quickly ran towards him.

Her eyes were moist and her nose red, giving her a rather pitiful look. Perhaps she had caught the cold while playing in the yard the previous night.

Picking her up in his arms, Edwin went down the stairs with her.

Apart from the domestic staff, only the two of them were in the villa. So, he tried his best to comfort her. "Let's see if Nancy has some medicine for cold. You'll be fine after taking the medicine, okay?"

Leyla nodded, with the pitiful look still on her face.

She reminded Edwin so much of Olivia when she was little. When Olivia was Leyla's age, she looked so small and delicate.

By now, Nancy the servant had caught sight of Edwin coming down the stairs with Leyla.

Immediately, her heart skipped a beat!

Even though he was at home, Edwin was dressed properly with a white shirt and a pair of black casual trousers, making him look smart and handsome. And the way he was carrying Leyla in his arms... oh, what a sweet man he was!

"Nancy, do we have anything like Theraflu?" Edwin asked her. "I think Leyla has a cold."

This question knocked Nancy back to reality.

“Oh, poor thing," she moaned in pity. “Don't worry. I'll get it right away."

Everyone in the family loved and cherished Leyla. Nancy even treated her like her own child. As a result, she not only prepared the medicine for Leyla, she also brought some candy along, fearing that the little girl wouldn't be able to bear the bitter taste of the medicine.

After Leyla had been seated on Edwin's lap, she was given the medicine. Grabbing the glass with both hands, she took sips of the medicine obediently. Occasionally, her delicate face was squeezed involuntarily as a result of the bitter taste.

Meanwhile, Edwin took out his phone to check on his files.

His company had just released a project recently.

But it wasn't something big. In fact, the profit they were hoping to make from it was just about three to four million dollars.
