My Four Miraculous Treasures

Willow could only think of them as being willful.noveldrama

Willow took a cab back to the new home Rachel had rented for them.

It was a walk-up apartment building in a district called Lerstone.

The unit was on the sixth floor and the rent was cheap since there were no elevators in the building.

Willow headed straight home after arriving at Lerstone.

She missed her children so much after not seeing them for two days.

She wanted to kiss each of their soft tiny cheeks and take a whiff of their milky scent. She missed them so badly.

When Willow reached the sixth floor, she realized she didn't have the keys to her new home, so she knocked on the door.

"Coming!" Rachel called from inside.

Willow only had to wait for a little while for the door to open.

Rachel said happily, "You're finally home, Ms. Busy Bee. We were just having a celebration for Hailey since she won first place."

"It is indeed worth celebrating." Willow nodded and hurried inside.

The four toddlers were huddled around the dining table, sticking candles into a huge cake on the table.

Willow hurried over to them. "Sweethearts, I'm home."

"Mommy!" The children cried out in unison.

Their eyes lit up happily as they tossed down the decorations in their hands and rushed to her. Now wasn't the time to be decorating the cake.

Willow squatted down and pulled them into her embrace. "Mommy missed you all so much. Muah, muah, muah, muah..."

Overflowing with motherly love, Willow kissed each of them on their soft cheeks.

The children's milky scent was so delightful and therapeutic!

"Mommy, I saw you just now." Hailey was grinning. She had seen her mother earlier during the contest.

"Yeah."

"Oh, I was at school so I didn't see Mommy," Lilith said dejectedly.

"I didn't see Mommy either," Julian echoed.

"Mommy, what happened to your head?" Tristan asked worriedly after noticing the bandage on Willow's head.

"Mommy, are you hurt? Is it painful? Let me blow it for you. Pain, pain, go away!" Now that Julian saw it too, he stood on tiptoes and puckered his lips to blow on Willow's forehead.

"What? Willow is hurt?" Lara hurried out of the kitchen upon hearing them. Sure enough, Willow looked severely hurt with bandageso wrapped around her head.

Despite her heart aching, she nagged instead, "What were you doing? Why did you get yourself hurt? What are the children and I to do if you fall ill? You have to take better care of yourself for our family's sake."

Willow kept nodding as her mother nagged. "I got it, Mom. I'll take better care of

myself. This was just an accident."

"What accident?" Lara asked.

"A car accident," Willow answered.

Lara almost fainted from shock upon hearing that it was a car accident.

"Is it related to Jasper?" Lara asked anxiously.

Tristan and Julian watched Willow nervously with seriousness and worry in their young eyes.

Willow gently patted her mother's arm and comforted her, saying, "Mom, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury, so calm down."

"Wills, you call a concussion a minor injury? You'll go stupid if you don't get

enough rest, and in worst cases, you'll die," Rachel said.

"Your boss is ruthlessly exploiting his employees. To think he's making you work

even when you're hurt," Rachel complained.

"What? A concussion?" Lara's chest further tightened with worry.
