Natalie nodded. “Indeed. It's a meaningful gift.”
“That's right,” Lina agreed. “As for Anders, since Anders is physically weaker, I've
designed a small crystal sculpture of the goddess of love as a pendant. Even though it's
not as special as Connor's, this is the best thing for Anders. I hope Anders will recover so
he can be a normal kid like the others.”
Natalie's heart melted, and her eyes even turned red. “Thank you so much, Lina.”
“Hey,” Lina started with a huff. “I just reminded you that I'm their godmother. Why are you
thanking me for this?”
At Lina's deliberate gesture of impatience, Natalie shook her head and smiled again.
“Okay, okay. I won't thank you anymore.”
“That's more like it,” Lina said in satisfaction.
After tossing the empty coffee can into a nearby bin, Natalie told her, “And I was
wondering why you were going out so frequently lately. You were so vague when I asked
you about it. So that's because you were preparing gifts for my kids.”

to head out to the studios to rent their machines to make their gifts.”
“It must have been tiring.”
“It's nothing.” Lina shrugged. “It's not hard labor anyway, and I do like this. Moreover, I'm
doing this for the kids I like, so it's nothing tiring for me. Everything's worth it as long as
they like their presents.”
“Don't worry. They definitely will,” Natalie reassured.
Anders was still young, so he would not be able to give Lina an answer.
However, Natalie was certain that her two other children were children who would cherish
presents given to them by others.
“I'm glad to hear that,” Lina told her as she stretched.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The host of the competition appeared and went
on stage.
The chattering people immediately fell silent at that.
They knew that the appearance of the host meant the official start of the competition.
Indeed, once the host was on stage, he announced the start of the competition. Then, the
theme was displayed on the screen above.
The moment the participants took in the theme, they began making preparations.
In the meantime, Shane's private jet had landed at the exclusive apron at the airport.
Dozens of people came down the plane.
The two leading men were bodyguards.
Behind the bodyguards was Shane.
He was not holding the hands of the two children like he always did as he came down from
the plane. Instead, he was carrying a child, who was tightly swathed in fabric.
That child was none other than Anders.
If Natalie were there—if she saw that Anders was not in the incubator and was in Shane's
arms instead—she would have burst into tears on the spot, for that meant that Anders
could finally be out of the incubator. It meant that he could live as a healthy child under

However, Natalie was not there; she was at the competition.
“Daddy.” Right then, a child's voice sounded from behind Shane.
When he turned his head, he realized it was Sharon.
Shane was holding Silas' hand and looking at him. “Daddy, how is Anders? He's not airsick
like I am, right?” she asked in concern.
Shane gently answered, “No, Anders is fine.”
Sharon sighed in relief. “That's good to hear. I'm glad. I'm so scared that Anders will be
sick. Both you and Mommy get so worried when Anders gets sick.”
“No worries. Anders won't be sick from now on,” Shane told her as he looked at the boy in
his arms.
Sharon nodded. “Okay, I'm glad.”
“Sharon, you're a good sister,” Shane praised as he reached out to pat Sharon's head.
Connor quickly chimed in. “Me too. I'm a good brother too. I was scared that Anders would
get cold on the plane, so I kept asking the air stewardess to hand Anders some blankets.”
