Ch. 2141..2150

Chapter 2141 All the giants in the medical field were distressed. In the end, everyone unanimously decided after deliberation and gave a diagnosis to Vireo, which was that he had some mental issues. He had already lost the ability to take responsibility for himself.

Not only that, but Vireo fell into a coma again and he did not wake up even after a long time.

A month later, vireo had been diagnosed to be in a vegetative state, but his mentor brought him back to South City. His mentor did not want to give up. He wanted to bet on everything that he had learned in his life to see if he could save such a doctor with so much potential. He wanted to let him wake up, return to the operating table, and treat and save lives. That was the life that vireo deserved to live.

vireo was still young and was only in his early thirties. He had been very diligent and studious his whole life. His life should not have ended like that. His mentor did not want to give up on him, so he performed an operation for vireo. However, the operation had failed. The mentor was very dejected. Vireo had died on the operating table. The mentor burst out crying in pain in the operating room. However, a young life still could not be saved. On the day that Vireo was sent to the crematorium for cremation, his mentor had fallen ill, so he did not go to send Vireo off. Truthfully, it was because the mentor did not wish to watch his beloved student be pushed into the cremation chamber and become some ashes in an urn from then on.

However, what the mentor had never expected was that right at that mention when vireo was pushed into the cremation chamber at the crematorium, Vireo's finger unexpectedly moved. Not only did his finger move, but he mumbled. His tightly shut and weak eyes also opened very slightly. Nobody knew that Vireo’s soul seemed to have wandered somewhere at that moment. Only vireo himself knew about it.

He was up in the mid-air and he saw that he was laying on his back and was about to be pushed into the large cremation chamber. Not only did he see himself, but he also saw another one of him inside the same crematorium. That person looked exactly like himself and he was also laying on his back. There was a huge hole in his chest and the blood around the hold had already turned black when Vireo saw that hole and that wound, he suddenly cried. He did not know why he cried, but he simply was very sad.

"What are you crying about?" someone asked him.

vireo looked back and saw himself. Yes, he saw himself as if he was looking into a mirror.

"Are you crying because of the bloody hole in my chest?" the man asked him.

vireo raised his hand and held that person's face. "You're very lonely, just like me, aren't you?"

"I was raised by my adoptive parents growing up. They had never cared about me. I have always wanted to have a family," said that man.

Vireo cried even harder. "I am just like you. I also want a family."

"Are you not me?" asked that man.

Vireo shook his head. "I am not you. I simply looked like you. This is nothing strange, where we come from, the majority of our facial features were rather flat and not that sharp, so there's a very good chance of looking similar to one another."

"I am not talking about appearances," that person said gently.

"Hmm?" vireo replied.

"Your last name is Payne. My last name is also Payne. You were a child raised by adoptive parents, so was I. You needed you.

You and I are the same. You desperately need a family and a place with flowers, plants, and a yard. You also needed to be surrounded by family. Isn't it?" asked that person.

It was as if that person had touched the deepest end of Vireo's heart. "How did you know?"

"That is why I said that I am you and you are me." That person smiled. His smile was very gentle as if he was vireo's biological brother but also as if he was truly vireo himself.

"My heart had been shot into smithereens and it had already stopped beating. I can no longer return to my body. You, however, have irreversible damage to your brain. I'll give my brain and my soul to you. Let's not separate from each other anymore. Let's combine the two of US into one, alright?" while that person was asking Vireo, he approached little by little at the same time. Vireo gradually lost his consciousness and he simply mumbled, "Alright, let's combine into one."

Chapter 2142 vireo vaguely saw him gradually merging with that person. They gradually merged. However, he heard a voice saying, "Live your life well. How great is it to be alive? Take care of them for me. My brother, his wife, my niece, and also...help me take good care of them. Those are the ones I cared about...take good care of them for me...take good care of them for me..."

That voice became softer and softer and also blurrier and blurrier.

"What is your name? You said that your last name is Payne, but what is your name?"

"Hol...Holden...my name is Holden, I am...the fourth child in the Payne family..."

That voice gradually disappeared.

Holden? The fourth child of the Payne family?

vireo suddenly smiled bitterly. He was also the fourth child of the Payne family. He was also an adopted child. He needed the love from a family as well. How alike were they? Yes, they simply were the same person. He is him. He is also him.

vireo's muddled mind gradually came to his senses. After he had woken up, he suddenly felt that it was all a hallucination just now. It was a hallucination created by his brain disease. Just like that, he suddenly was not able to see himself anymore, where was he, himself who was still laying on the bed, earlier on? Where had he gone? Why was he not able to see himself anymore?

where was he at that moment? He had no idea where he was. He suddenly felt very sleepy and tired. He felt that he had no strength at all. He even felt that he was almost about to lose consciousness.

Was he dead? He did not want to! He did not want to die! He wanted to live his life well! He wanted to live for himself and not for anyone else. He still had people who cared for him such as his mentor and his college classmates. There was also such a wonderful city like South City waiting for him to showcase his skills as a doctor. He did not want to die. He wanted to live! He felt that scorching heat and he did not want to be sent into the furnace into ashes.

Vireo desperately fought with all his might and main, and he also shouted at the top of his lungs. "Help. Help. Help me..."

He exhausted all the strength he had and thought that his voice was very loud. However, his voice was very soft. Only he could hear himself. None of the people surrounding him could hear him. Later on, he desperately struggled for his life. He wanted to raise his hand and wave to prove that he was still alive. However, no matter how much he struggled, he could not raise his hand.

He did not wish to give up, so he fought hard over and over again as he wanted to raise and wave his hand. He did his very best and he was so tired that he was covered in sweat. He felt he could no longer carry on anymore. He was running out of strength.

However, he still held on.

Finally, someone suddenly said in surprise, "Hold on! Wait a minute! Wait a minute, you guys! I think I saw Doctor Payne's hand moving!' The crowd was startled. A few of them reflexively stumbled backward. Then, everyone looked at that body that was about to be pushed into the cremation chamber. The hand that was laid on the side was indeed moving. However, the movement was very small. Only a finger was moving extremely weakly. The movement was so small that it could not be seen if one was not watching carefully. Everyone held their breath and looked at the pair of hands. After a very long time, that finger moved again.

"It moved! It moved! It moved! I saw it! Doctor Payne's finger moved."

"I also saw it!"

"Gosh, that's great! Doctor Payne is not dead!"

"He is still alive!"

Chapter 2143 "Hurry! Quickly send him to the emergency room! Quick!"

vireo, who was struggling, truly had no strength left anymore. He almost wanted to give up. He did not want to fight anymore. He felt that no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from the hands of the Grim Reaper. However, right when he was about to give up, he heard noises coming from an extremely far away place. Those voices sounded far one moment and yet near in the next. They were indiscernible. However, Vireo was certain that it was not a voice from a single person, it was the voices of several people and that voice had a tinge of surprise. That was a voice with a human touch.

It was as if a surge of strength had been injected into Vireo'sbody. He took a deep breath and raised his hand with all his might and main! Immediately after that, someone saw that the movements of his fingers were very big. It was especially big. Also, it was two of his fingers that were bent a little at the same time.

Someone cried in surprise. "Doctor Payne truly is alive..."

Vireo hears that voice. It was very far away, but he heard it. Waves of surprises surged in his heart and all sorts of excitements appeared in his mind. He wanted to be alive. He had to be alive. It was as if he had people he cared about. He wanted to go and see those loved ones very badly. Was that true? Was he still dreaming? He was still struggling and battling death. He had to break through it. 1 In the commotion, Vireo was wheeled back to the hospital from the side of the large cremation chamber at the crematorium.

That was considered a miracle, but it was not considered one as well. That was because everyone had not had much confidence in his operation at that time as the nerves of the brain were already complex beyond imagination, to begin with, and had many uncertainties. Perhaps when the operation had just been completed, some of the nerves in his brain had not completely recovered and needed some time to do so. Everyone thought since his heart had stopped beating, he had died. However, slowly, his brain recovered and his heart also started to beat again. That meant that the operation had, in fact, been a success. There were far too many unpredictable unknowns in medicine. In short, that was a surprise.

The entire hospital was thrilled by that, vireo's mentor was even more excited that he was covered in tears. "This child...this child shouldn’t have died, to begin with. How excellent this child is."

After vireo's mentor and a few experts had carefully discussed it, all of them unanimously decided to issue a medical certificate for Vireo indicating that he could not be held criminally liable. Also, vireo's mentor personally explained vireo's situation to the police. The police also took the matter very seriously.

From the environment Vireo grew up in since childhood, his elementary to high school classmates, his neighbors, and all the way to his college, the police visited them all incomparably meticulously. The police realized that nobody had spoken ill of Vireo in their investigations from all directions. All of his playmates from his childhood said that Vireo was smart, studious, helpful, optimistic, and tolerating. Many girls in his middle school had a crush on him because he was very responsible. Needless to say, many of the elderly people, who were vireo’s neighbors, shed tears when they mentioned Vireo. There were also those patients who had once been treated by vireo. Some of them even got on their knees and pleaded for him. None of those patients at the hospital in the provincial capital and Vireo's neighbors from those years he lived in the provincial capital spoke ill of Vireo at all.

Many people, however, felt that vireo truly had suffered for marrying such a woman like Mira. That woman did not do any work and simply was just self-willed. In the end, she even lied to her husband and wanted him to help her raise the bastard she had with another man. That was nothing. When her former lover came back, he took away the woman and the child just like that.

Were there no laws anymore in the world? who could remain calm when he encountered such a thing?

At the end of the investigation, on top of that statement issued from the hospital, Vireo was found not guilty in the end.

At that time, vireo still had not woken up. It was after half a month that Vireo slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if he had fought a long hard battle and finally, he won. He broke free from death. He had woken up. He was very tired. However, he was very grateful. "I... where am I?"

Chapter 2144 vireo had woken up. His brain disease had been successfully cured. It seemed like he had an extremely long dream with many people in it. From his childhood to adulthood, from the county to his college days, from his college back to the county, and then from the county to the provincial capital. From his adoptive parents to his sisters and his wife. Also, those voices that seemed far at one moment but near in the next. Were they a hallucination? Was it a dream? It should have been a dream. It was a kind of dreamland that he had when he was on the verge of death.

He woke up and that dreamland got further and further away from him. Everything that he saw when he opened his eyes was real. The room was tidy and bright, and the nurse was smiling. He also saw his mentor who had a kind expression.

"Vireo, I have contacted a rehabilitation center abroad. Go there for rehabilitation for a year and in the meantime, gain and share academic knowledge there as well, when you come back, settle down in South City." The mentor's aged voice had a kind of unconcealable excitement.

vireo was so touched that tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

"My...my actions at that time were excessively aggressive. I didn't cause any actual harm, but I will still be held liable." vireo had always been a man who would take responsibility for his actions. 1 "It's in the past now. It's all in the past now, Vireo." The mentor's gaze was extremely gentle. "You have to believe in yourself. You are a person who treats and saves lives. If you were to spend the prime of your life in prison, how many people would have lost their lives because they could not be saved? Your mission is to treat and save lives. You have not done any harm to others. It was them! They were the ones who had harmed you!"

The mentor was simply biased towards his student. He was simply biased. So, what about it? He would risk his life to keep vireo safe!

Vireo was a very sensible and perceptive person. He instantly understood what his mentor meant, so he immediately said, "

Thank you, sir. After I've recovered in the future, if I can still hold a scalpel, I certainly will treat and cure many people."

The mentor nodded. "Promise me to bid farewell to the past! Be separated from it forever! Erase those things from your mind!"

"Mm-hmm! Bid farewell to the past!"

"I, vireo Payne, will never ever think about those things anymore! I will never think about them anymore!" said Vireo with a smile on his pale face. Just as he said that, he vaguely heard a voice coming from afar. 'Congratulations, vireo. You certainly will set the world on fire. Live your life well for yourself and also for me.' 1 Vireo was suddenly stunned. That voice. That was the voice. He listened carefully again, but that voice was gone. He could not even be sure if that voice was real or was that a hallucination that was created by him encouraging himself, vireo had no idea.

However, he was even more confident.

Through the arrangement by his mentor, Viero went to recuperate at the best rehabilitation center abroad. During that period, he was not idle as well and had been participating in academic discussions. He had thoroughly bid farewell to the past. He changed his phone, deleted all of the previous messages, and spent three years abroad. In those three years, he had been wholeheartedly studying issues in the field of medicine.

After spending three years abroad, he became more and more skilled as a doctor. The hospital abroad very much wanted to keep him there, but vireo did not intend to stay. He wanted to return to South City. It was his mentor who had given him a chance for a new life. He could not let his mentor down.

Three years later, Vireo, who had already been in a very good state, returned to South City and directly took a job at the South City Hospital. When he entered South city, he felt as if he had returned to his hometown and his mother's embrace. Mother? Did he have a mother? Putting aside his adoptive parents, Vireo still had no idea who his real parents were. He did not want to know either.

However, he had no idea where this feeling of his mother's embrace came from. Perhaps it was the care that his mentor had for him. 1 The operation that day was the first operation that Vireo was performing after he had started working and after he had taken over from his mentor. It was also his first operation at the South City Hospital as well. Before he entered the operating room, Vireo heard a voice. "Uncle."

Uncle? Was that voice calling for him?

Chapter 2145 It must not be. However, why did Vireo feel that he seemed to have heard that voice somewhere before? He was supposed to be a surgeon who should not be distracted by anything else. However, right at the moment as he was entering the operating room, he could not help but turn his head around and took a glance.

That was a little girl who had just grown up. She was very ugly. She had a face full of freckles, a flat nose, small eyes, and her nose was all red from crying, she just seemed like a little doll who could not find her home and had suddenly seen her family. Her eyes were all teared up and she was beaming with joy, then she ran to him with her arms wide open, who did she take him for?

At that moment, Vireo clearly felt that this little girl, who had just entered her twenties, seemed to have taken him as her father.

Father? No, she was addressing him as her uncle. That was right. She had taken him as her uncle, the person who was second only to her father.

Vireo had always wanted a child, but he never did. He had already been disheartened. He intended to put all of his energy for the remaining years of his life into the field of medicine. He had already completely bidden farewell to the past. However, this girl suddenly awakened his wish to be a father, which he had never gotten to fulfill.

Vireo was a sensible doctor. That operation that day was the first operation that he was going to perform. He could not be distracted and he could not have any diversions. That operation was incredibly important to him. Therefore, he decisively paid no attention to the little girl anymore, and decisively went into the sterile operating room. Right as he entered the room, all the distractions were pushed to the back of his mind, and he only thought of his patient after all.

The operation took six hours. He was full of vigor the moment he started operating. That was the occupation that he loved the most. It was his hobby to dedicate his life to saving lives. Every successful operation was like solving a complex puzzle. It was an enjoyable process that he was completely wrapped up in, and he very confidently solved the complex puzzle.

Six hours later, the operation was a great success. Right at the moment when he had completed stitching up the patient, vireo was so tired. His lips were all dried and chapped, both of his feet were numbed, and both of his arms were shaking from fatigue.

However, he was at ease. He was so relaxed that he had temporarily forgotten about that ugly yet super cute little girl, who was pitiful, had a red little nose, and was crying miserably.

After he had left the operating table, he dragged his extremely exhausted body out of the room. He simply just wanted to have a good sleep, and then bring some gifts to his mentor to sincerely thank him. It was his mentor who had given him the chance to live again. It was his mentor who let him have a successful beginning with the first operation at the largest hospital in South city. It was all because of his mentor. He wanted to thank his mentor.

In the end, right as he walked out of the sterile operating room with endless exhaustion still showing on his body and face, and when he was so exhausted that he did not even want to bat an eyelid, he saw the three girls. To be exact, it was a woman and two girls. To be even more precise, it was two women, one older and the other younger, as well as a half-grown child.

It was quite the contrast that the half-grown child was looking incomparably calmly at him while the most grown up woman among them was all covered in tears. Like the scalpel in Vireo's hand, those tear stains very quickly and accurately sliced up his heart and pierced through the deepest end of his heart. Those tears made him feel incredibly painful, so painful that his heart kept pounding. Vireo was instantly stunned. Immediately after that, he heard her calling a name. "Holden..."

Holden? A very long time ago, Vireo had an incomparably distant dream. In his dream, he had seen a man who looked exactly like himself. That man told him that his name was Holden, vireo instantly felt the turmoil in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling. Before he could clear his mind, that woman already recklessly ran into his arms with her face covered with tears, while crying, she called him over and over again. "Holden, don't leave me. Don't leave me anymore. Holden..."

At that moment, vireo became incredibly softhearted. "Alright."

Chapter 2146 As he sat in a restaurant near the South city Hospital, vireo spent more than an hour telling Sebastian all about his past. He did not know why he would talk so much in front of his mighty and powerful man before his eyes. He knew that he was the director of the Ford Group. However, he had never expected that an extremely ordinary doctor like himself would actually be able to cross paths with the most powerful man in South city one day. After he had taken a closer look, Vireo also made a significant discovery.

He learned that he looked very similar to Sebastian, what kind of fate was this?

Just within a day, his life seemed to have moved from one earth to another. The difference was that he already had no loved ones on the original earth, but on the other earth, he was surrounded by loved ones.

"Mister Ford, T...I am simply a doctor who had just come to the South City Hospital. I had first come to South city more than twenty years ago and had done my seven-year combined program here. It was only recently that I intended to settle down in South City. I had never expected that just after I came to South city, I...I met your loved ones," while saying that, Vireo looked at Aino. "Is this...the apple of your eye?"

Sebastian nodded slightly. He smiled as he looked at vireo.

Actually, it had hardly ever smiled, whether it was in the company and on any other occasions, Sebastian was not a man who liked to smile. It was only in front of his family that he would show his gentle side. However, he smiled in front of Vireo. Vireo had used nearly two hours telling his life story and disclosing all the miseries in his life. He also made Sebastian see his positive and motivated disposition, as well as his generous and forgiving character.

vireo was very similar to Sebastian's brother. Not only did they look similar in appearance, but also in demeanor. However, his temperament was gentler than Holden's, and he was more forgiving than Holden. Holden's character was a little bit like a spoiled child. Not only that, but Holden's character was gloomier. Also, Holden was very vindictive. He was just as merciless as his brother when it came to killing people. However, vireo was different.

The man in front of Sebastian, who looked just like his brother, made Sebastian instantly feel a sense of kinship. For some reason, he treated the man as his brother. Both of their last names were Payne. They shared the same experience of being adopted. Both of them longed to have a home, a family, and warmth in their hearts. That was already enough.

"My brother's body had been sent to be cremated at the same crematorium as yours. I am an atheist, but I feel that there are some mysteries beyond our imagination for everything in this world. I think that voice that you heard in your distant and vague dreamland may truly be my brother's voice. You remembered that he told you in that dream that his name was Hold-my brother's name is Holden. You see, this is fate. Are you...willing to be my brother?" Sebastian asked affectionately.

"Mister Ford, what did you say?" Vireo asked.

He absolutely could not believe it. The mighty King of South city was going to take him, an ordinary doctor, as his brother?"

"Be my younger brother?" said Sebastian with a smile.

Right after he said that, the little beauty, Aino, opposite them smiled and said, "Uncle, there's a lot of benefits to being my father's younger father. Firstly, you could get half of the Ford Group's properties. This way all of those people who had once oppressed you would never dare to do it anymore. Hurry up and say yes. If you agree, then you will be my uncle."

vireo was speechless.

Was that a great deal that had just fallen out of the sky? This deal was simply too great. It was so great that it could have crushed him. His gaze wavered as he looked at Sebastian, Aino and also Sebastian's wife. The Ford family of three were all smiling at him. Their intention was very clear and they were very sincere, vireo felt dizzy. However, he had always been sensible.

Chapter 2147 Vireo had always known what should and should not be taken.

Could a few hundred million dollars even be enough to measure the value of half of the Ford family's empire? Besides, the reason the Ford family was so powerful that it became world-renowned was all Sebastian’s efforts in the last decade. It was Sebastian who made the Ford family's assets increase tenfold. Vireo was an outsider, so what right did he have to take other people's assets for nothing? He did not want that. He only wanted a family's love, and that would be enough.

Vireo smiled very faintly. His deep voice was very therapeutic. "It's alright, Mister Ford. Actually, there's no need for a lot of money. It's best that it's just enough to spend and use. I am a surgeon at the best hospital in South city. My salary every month is also considered at a medium to a high range in this city. I think it'll just be enough for me to have a house in South City to raise a family."

After saying that, Vireo looked at Isadora and also Minerva. He knew that Isadora had taken him for Holden. In fact, he himself had taken him for Holden. If it was before he had met Isadora and Minerva, he would have thought that that distant dreamland was simply just a dream. When he saw Isadora and Minerva, he knew that it must have been an effect created by some mystery in this universe that had yet to be explored. For example, resurrection? Had he been resurrected? As a modern medical practitioner, vireo did not believe in that very much. However, he had also very sincerely accepted it. His brain was damaged and it was irreversibly damaged. At that moment, his brain was not his own. There was another soul living in his brain. That person's name was Holden Payne.

Holden wanted to support his niece's college education. He did not want to let that woman who loved him be sad. Therefore, the thing that Holden wanted to do the most was to marry Isadora and let this woman, who had been wandering since childhood, also have a home, and maybe they would even have many children in the future. There was Minerva as well. He would pay for all the expenses needed for her college. In the future, after she had graduated, he would pass on all of his superb skills as a doctor to her. He was thinking that he could fulfill all that with his own abilities.

"I would treat you as my own brother. I don't have any family in my life. I'm very happy to have a brother, a sister-in-law, as well as a niece and a nephew. I truly have many loved ones all of a sudden," said vireo with a smile.

When Vireo looked at Sabrina, there was a kind of feeling that he had known her in the past and present in his gaze. It was an indescribable feeling. He simply felt very affectionate. When he saw Sabrina smile, he would feel that his life was given to him by Sabrina. As Vireo, he had never met Sabrina before. However, he knew that certainly must be the memory that was left behind in Holden's mind. Therefore, Vireo said very solemnly, "In the future, I simply am Holden Payne." 1 Hearing Holden saying that, Sabrina instantly had tears welled up in her eyes and she immediately said, "You must have been quite tired after that operation. After you've finished your meal, go and first take a rest. After you're well-rested, we'll take you to...your mother's grave to take a look."

Mother? His mother's grave? He suddenly wanted it very badly.

"Sure, alright," Vireo gladly agreed.

He took a look at the time and it was indeed time for him to return. The house that he rented still needed a little tidying before he could officially move in. After he got up, vireo said goodbye to everyone present. "Sebastian, Sabrina, my little niece and nephew, I had performed an operation that lasted a few hours, so I am indeed a little tired. I'll first return to the place I'm staying in to tidy it up. I'll invite you to my house another day. I'll first take my leave." 1 After that, he got up with a smile and wanted to leave.

"Holden...," Isadora, who had not been saying anything, got up and called out to Holden. She already knew that the man in front of him was not Holden. However, she still wanted to call him "Holden. II Holden turned his head around and looked at Isadora gently. " Isadora?"

"I..." Isadora's face suddenly became thoroughly flushed.

However, she did not back down, she lifted her flushed cheeks and looked at Holden with a brave gaze. "Holden, I... I want to follow you home. I want to go back to your home."

Vireo was speechless.

Chapter 2148 Isadora had absolute trust in Vireo. What she felt for him was not considered as love at first sight. Rather, it was a kind of longing in her bones, she was missing Holden with every fiber of her being. The person in front of her was either vireo or Holden.

"Holden, I want...to follow you home." The woman in her thirties actually had no experience at all when it came to relationships.

Therefore, when she was facing vireo, she was like a little girl when she spoke.

She was helpless, had expectations, was pitiful, and was pure.

Holden's heart instantly melted. Perhaps the woman in front of him was not as fashionable, knowledgeable, and lady-like as Mira.

She was also not as beautiful as Mira. However, Isadora was able to awaken Vireo's heart which had long been thoroughly disappointed. Vireo was even willing to protect this pitiful woman with his life. Without giving it a thought at all, he gently smiled. "

Alright, follow me home then. That's your home from now on."

"Mm-hmm." Isadora instantly cried, she asked while crying. "I'll have a home in the future?"

"Yes, you'll have a home in the future."

"I will no longer be lonely anymore?"

"Yes, you'll no longer be lonely anymore."

"Nobody will bully me?"

"Nobody will ever bully you again."

"I don't have to wander everywhere anymore?"

"You no longer have to wander everywhere anymore. You simply have to watch dramas at home and go to a spa. If you're still bored, you can give me a call, but you have to be a little bit well-behaved because I'm very busy at work, especially when I am operating on someone. One operation may take a few hours. If you call me at that time, my phone will usually be switched off, so you can't be sad."

Isadora suddenly burst out crying. She did not care that there were still many people present and she just rushed into vireo's arms.

"I will not be so unreasonable. I will clean and tidy the house very thoroughly. I will plant many flowers on the balcony. I will wait for you to come home every day. No, no, no, I will also have a job. I will make money to raise the family with you," said Isadora, crying.

"Come on, let's go home. Don't cry hard. Your eyes will hurt," said Vireo.

"Mm-hmm." Isadora nodded.

Her gaze was affixed to Vireo's face. At that moment, Isadora had nobody else in her eyes. Everything in her surroundings had nothing to do with her. She only saw Vireo, who was Holden in her eyes. She looked at vireo and both of her arms were wrapped around vireo's elbow. After taking a few steps along with vireo, Vireo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Isadora asked, "What's the matter, Holden?"

Vireo suddenly turned his head around and he saw Minerva. She was smiling and looking at the two of them.

"Uncle Holden and Aunt Isadora?" Minerva called out.

In any case, Vireo had already taken Sebastian as his brother, which meant that he was Minerva's uncle. Since he was Minerva's uncle, then it was only natural that Isadora would be her aunt. Isadora instantly blushed.

vireo did not feel anything. "Minera. You're Minerva, right?"

"Mm-hmm. That’s how my Uncle Holden called me in the past."

"Come on," said Vireo.

"Hmm?" Minerva replied.

"Follow me home."

Minerva was speechless.

"Come on. Follow me home. My house is a duplex. There are three bedrooms and two living spaces downstairs, and there are also rooms upstairs. There's enough space for you. I don't feel at ease if you stay outside," said vireo incomparably seriously.

There was nothing wrong with what he said to Minerva. The only difference was that when her true Uncle Holden spoke to her, his tone was unpleasant and was often harsh.

Chapter 2149 Even if he was giving her money, he had never been nice to her. He basically always was very fierce to her and was annoyed at her. However, this Uncle Holden was very gentle to her. Minerva suddenly smiled.

"Uncle Holden, for so many years, I have always been able to take great care of myself. Compared to that Uncle Holden of mine, you knew how to take care of me more. That uncle had never been bothered to ask me where I was staying. He would only tell me fiercely, 'Don't spend other people's money! Not even a single penny! If you dare to fool around out there, I'll breakyour legs!

If you want to spend money, I'll give you the money no matter how much!' That's basically how he talked to me."

"Then, I'll also keep an eye on you more in the future as well. If you dare to not study well, I will beat you up!" vireo immediately said with a stern expression.

"Hahaha. Uncle Holden..." Minerva was happy.

"What about...what about me?" A half-grown little child behind Vireo looked at him eagerly.

Vireo looked at Aino with a stern expression. "Aino! I am your uncle! If your grades are not good, your dad may love you too much and can't bear to smack you, but I will take a ruler and smack your little hands until it's swollen. Let's see if you dare to not study well." 1 "Hahaha. Don't worry, Uncle Holden. I have always been placing first in my entire grade!" Aino said proudly.

"If that is the case, then I will never have a chance to smack you anymore," said vireo, looking slightly dejected.

"Hahaha. Uncle Holden, you're too funny. Of course, I will never give you a chance to smack me. However, I have a few younger brothers. You can smack them." While Aino was bragging about herself, she sold her brothers out to the man she had just accepted to be her uncle.

"You're a little smarty-pants!" vireo said.

"Uncle Holden, you'll be bringing Aunt Isadora home, right? I am looking forward to you guys giving me a few more younger brothers. No, I have too many brothers. I want a sister." Aino made her request in passing as well. 1 When Isadora heard those words, she instantly blushed again.

At that moment, Sabrina saved her from the embarrassment. " Hurry up and go back. Doctor Payne is tired and needs to rest.

Doctor Payne, if you're short of anything at home, just give me a call. I'll help you guys prepare for it."

"Alright," said Vireo gently. 1 After saying goodbye to Sabrina, Sebastian, Aino, and Minerva, vireo took Isadora back to his house. Throughout the journey, he was driving while Isadora sat in the front passenger seat. She did not feel distant with him at all. She simply felt that she had known Holden in the past and present, vireo was very focused while driving. She also did not disturbed him and simply looked at him the whole way.

When they got to a traffic light, Vireo stopped the car, and then gently looked at Isadora. "We'll be home in another half an hour.

Are you tired?"

Isadora shook her head. "I'm not tired, Holden." "Alright." The light turned green and the car drove on.

At the next traffic light, he turned to her again. "In another twenty -five minutes, we'll be home."

He had been soothing her gently throughout the whole journey. She had also been as good as a six-year-old little girl. This kind of absolute trust without a single ounce of doubt gave vireo a sense of purpose. He absolutely had to take care of this woman, who had a miserable life, very well. He would take it as making up for the huge hole of lost affection in his heart.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the neighborhood. The neighborhood was not as high-end and luxurious as the neighborhood that Sebastian lived in, but it was also an environmentally friendly neighborhood that was considered above average in all aspects. Also, vireo's house was located in an area with high-end properties and it was all duplex there. It appeared to be quiet and grand, so it automatically was giving out a sense of luxury yet low profile. After the car was parked, vireo led Isadora out of the car. 1 "The house is a little messy, but I will tidy it up later. You can just sit on the couch and watch television," said vireo.

"No!" Isadora refused.

"Hmm?"

"I want to do the chores together with you!" said Isadora. 1 A sense of warmth suddenly surged in Vireo's heart. To do the chores together with him. How down to earth and full of the simplicity of life was that?

"Alright," Vireo gladly agreed.

Just as they were going upstairs, his phone rang. After he picked up the call and was about to speak, he already heard the voice of the other party. At the same time, he was stunned. Immediately after that, he asked coldly, "How did you know my number?"

Chapter 2150 The voice from the other end was a voice that vireo wanted to forget and had already forgotten. However, it was a voice that would make him feel incomparably disgusted when he heard it again. That was Mira's voice. 1 On the other end of the call, Mira still addressed him as she did in the past. "Hubby..."

"I’m sorry, madam. You seemed to have forgotten that we already had no relations with each other anymore. I'm hanging up now," Vireo immediately said coldly.

After saying that, he immediately hung up the call.

He and Mira had already been divorced. They would never have any relations with each other anymore in the future. Everything was already in the past. He did not want to hate, much less mention it. He was someone who wanted to thoroughly bid farewell to the past. His focus in the future would be in South city. The woman that he wanted to care for in the future was the girl in front of him named Isadora.

"Holden, who was it who called?" Isadora asked him gently.

"My ex-wife, but all the papers for US had already been done and delivered. No matter if it's money or real estate, there are no disputes between US, so there's no need for US to be in contact," Holden said very honestly.

Isadora nodded. "Mm-hmm. You'll have me in the future, so you can only have me in your heart."

"Alright." As he said that, he wrapped a hand around Isadora and got into the elevator with her.

In just half a day, vireo no longer felt that Isadora was a stranger to him. In fact, he had an innate state of mind that he cared for Isadora. Isadora felt the same as Vireo as well. Her eyes and heart were filled with him. They then got into the elevator and entered Vireo's new house.

To be more precise, even Vireo was not very familiar with this house. All the cookware and utensils that had just been moved in were still in a messy state. However, as soon as Isadora entered the house, she did not feel restrained at all. she was very excited.

She smiled. "Holden, laydown on the couch. You're tired. I'll tidy the place up. After I'm done tidying, I'll cook something for you.

Do you have anything in the fridge that I can cook?"

Holden was stunned at first. "Yes. It's something that I had bought to stuff in the fridge when I was out shopping that day."

In fact, he was alone and had never intended to cook and whatnot. However, he was a person who liked the nitty-gritty things of life. When he was at the store the day before, he also bought some ingredients, as well as some utensils, at the same time. He only bought that at that time because he wanted to have the nitty-gritty things in life. In his real life, if he was by himself, he did not intend to cook. However, in hindsight, it was truly all destined. It seemed like when he bought the ingredients and the utensils the day before, he had already predicted that the lady of the house was going to move in that day. 1 "That would be best," Isadora said with a smile.

She was already in her thirties, but the way she spoke and acted was like a simple girl who was twenty years old. She pushed Vireo to the living room and let him sit on the couch. The plastic films on the couch had not even been torn off yet. she simply tore off the film, and then she pushed Holden down to the couch.

"Have a good rest. First, close your eyes and sleep, and when you wake up, I will have already tidied up the place."

Vireo looked at Isadora in a daze. He was not quite used to it. Since childhood, he had always been the one to serve others. He had to do labor intensive work since he was a very young child. He had even done more labor intensive work than his three sisters. Later on, after he had gotten married, everything was managed by vireo. Mira had never even cooked once, let alone taken care of the household matters, of course, when he was in the provincial capital, the chores were all done by maids.

However, those maids were like robots. They came in and out without making a sound at all.

In fact, what Vireo wanted to see the most was having a wife who was busy around the house. She would be wearing an apron, having messy hair, walking around and tidying while wearing cotton slippers. The kitchen, on the other hand, would have soups boiling and would be filled with the amora of delicious dishes. How great would that be? Was such a fantasy finally going to be fulfilled? Vireo suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

He truly was very tired as well. He actually fell asleep after he laid on the couch for a short while. That was the first operation that he had performed after returning to the country, so he had been incomparably focused. No one knew how nervous he was. He could only succeed and not fail. It was fortunate that the operation was successful. His skill in wielding a scalpel had not deteriorated at all.
