Casey fell silent.
They had actually thought of names before – when they didn’t know if it would be a boy or girl – but now she couldn’t think of any names at all.
Suddenly an idea came to mind, “Perla Prince.”
“Perla,” Aimee repeated with approval. “That sounds nice.”
Casey smiled slightly and said, “Aimee, I miss my grandpa so much.”
“He misses us too,” Aimee replied comfortingly. “But he would want us to live happily and well.”
Casey nodded as she looked at Perla’s little face that was wrinkled up with discomfort. It broke Casey’s heart seeing how uncomfortable Perla was feeling right now.
Her daughter… she vowed silently that she would protect Perla with everything that she had in this world…
Soon after that conversation ended between them both, Casey drifted off back into sleep once again while Aimee left quietly so as not disturb or wake up anyone else.
She didn’t tell everyone that Casey had the named the baby girl, because she thought Casey should announce it herself..
Camdyn’s funeral was simple just like he wanted it to be. When they were sorting out his belongings in his room, they found his diary.
He made sure his wishes were known by writing them down inside his diary, which they found when cleaning out his belongings after he passed away.
On the day of his burial service though, there were dark clouds looming overhead, which only added more sadness onto everyone’s already heavy hearts. Despite trying their bests’ efforts in keeping things low-keyed and private for themselves during this difficult time period, many people still showed up uninvited along both sides of the road shouting out, “Mr. Hayden! Rest In Peace!” as they watched on somberly…
Afterwards when everything had been taken care off and everyone went home, the Hayden family remained under a cloud of grief for quite some time.
On the way back, Aimee was so tired that she fell asleep.
Patrick didn’t wake her up, but just carried her down.
Before going back to the room, Patrick said to Kelvin, “If there is something wrong with Casey, please work hard and let her sleep for a while.”
During this time, Aimee only slept for an hour or two every day, and Patrick was so distressed.
Kelvin said, “Don’t worry. You should also have a good rest.”
Patrick nodded, and carried Aimee back to the room.
April pushed Walter to rest for a while, and then went to the kitchen with Ivy to prepare food.
The two simply made some porridge and snacks, and made some side dishes to eat with the porridge, so that when everyone was hungry, they could fill their stomachs.
Though, these days, everyone had no appetite.
Walter went upstairs to take a shower, changed clothes and came down, walked over and asked, “Do you need help?”
April said, “No need, it’s already done.” In fact, what April didn’t say was that if Walter came to help, he would only make things worse.
Walter could tell what April was thinking and pinched her waist. “What did you make?” he asked.
“Porridge and snacks. What do you want to eat?” April asked back.
Walter buried his face in April’s neck and said, “Porridge.” He wasn’t really hungry. He was just tired.
April nodded and said, “Then go sit at the table first. I’ll serve you.”
“Let me do it,” Walter insisted.
He took a bowl of porridge and pulled April over to the table with him. The porridge tasted good but under normal circumstances Walter would have eaten two more bowls of it. Now though, he had no appetite whatsoever.
“Go take a nap later. Your eye sockets are black,” April suggested as she looked at his haggard appearance with great concern.
Walter agreed with a grunt and said, “Stay with me.”
April nodded softly in agreement. Whatever Walter wanted right now, she would oblige him without question.
After finishing one bowl of porridge, Walter couldn’t eat anymore. The two washed their dishes before returning to their room.
The Hayden family’s recent turmoil seemed to have finally subsided for now, but the sad atmosphere still lingered on. Everyone went back to their rooms but few were able to sleep soundly.

Alina had been locked up in the warehouse for half a month. She thought she’d be tortured but after being thrown inside, no one ever came back again.
Alina was both hungry and cold, and didn’t know how many times she fainted or woke up again.
Finally when Alina thought that death might come knocking once more, the door of the warehouse opened. Alina opened her eyes groggily, and saw a figure standing there, but couldn’t see who it was.
Trace ordered someone to smash open the glass surrounding Alina, and then lifted her out.
Alina screamed frantically, but her voice had already become so hoarse that it sounded particularly terrifying inside this warehouse.
“Let go of me!” She struggled like a little chick being carried away directly from its nest.
She was lifted into a car without knowing where they were taking her. At this moment, Alina didn’t even have enough strength left in herself to jump off if given an opportunity.
In fact, she even wished for death instead.
What Alina never expected though was that she was taken straight away into Bamboo Grove Villa
Clubhouse.
Alina was thrown into a room, and immediately the door was locked.
She didn’t know what was going on, but it made her even more afraid.
Looking around for a while, Alina’s eyes finally landed on the window, but she didn’t have the courage to approach it.
She wasn’t sure if she could run away. In fact, it was a stupid question, and the answer was so obvious
– she couldn’t run away at all.
Thinking of this, Alina just gave up.
Just when Alina was getting more and more frightened, finally, there was a sound in the room.
The TV screen was turned on, and on the screen was a face that Alina was familiar with.
Her pupils dilated instantly, and her whole body froze.
In the other room, Patrick, Walter, and Miles were all sitting on a sofa, and they could clearly see the situation in the two rooms.
“It seems that it is her.” Miles said.
Patrick’s face was so dark that she couldn’t look directly at it. If his left and right hands weren’t pinned down, he would have rushed over.
Hayden family.
Aimee came out of the nursery and looked around strangely, realizing that none of the three Hayden men were around. This was very strange to Aimee.
“Aimee, where are the brothers?” Casey asked strangely after coming out as well.
“I don’t know. They didn’t tell me,” Aimee frowned.
This was too strange because Patrick always told her everything he did. But Aimee wasn’t a clingy person and didn’t really care about it either way.
Casey stuck to Aimee’s side and hugged her shoulder, saying, “Aimee, have you noticed how quiet our house has become?”
Since Camdyn left, even though there were three little ones in the house now, it still felt so empty.
Aimee also felt uncomfortable but people always had to look forward. She said, “Casey, we have to move on. Grandpa would want us to be happy.”
Casey sniffed and said, “I know but I can’t help it. I just miss grandpa so much.”
When grandma left, she was still young and didn’t feel sad very deeply but this time Casey felt heartbroken deeply.
Aimee sighed silently feeling helpless as well, since she herself hadn’t had much feelings for family before. This was also the first time losing someone who held a place in her heart like family did for her now.
Casey rubbed against Aimee’s neck again, saying, “Aimee, I miss grandpa.”
Feeling helpless herself, Aimee thought of an old-fashioned solution, “I’ll cook noodles for you.”
“Okay,” Casey nodded, then ordered, “I want beef ball noodles.”
“Okay,” Aimee agreed while Casey stayed in the kitchen, not wanting Aimee leaving her alone.
When Matilda came over, she saw both girls in the kitchen, so she ordered a bowl of noodles too, asking about how their three little ones were doing.
“They eat then sleep, then sleep then eat. They’re happiest when they don’t understand anything,”
Casey replied.
Matilda said, “It’s good that they’re carefree right now, because when they grow up, who knows how many troubles will come their way?”
While slurping her noodles, Casey suddenly looked up at Matilda with wide eyes, asking, “Matilda, when are you going to have children with Miles?”
Matilda touched her stomach, saying, “I don’t know. I haven’t decided.”
Seeing these three little ones at home actually made Matilda start thinking about having children too.
However, for this kind of thing, it was completely necessary to let nature take its course and not be too urgent.
Casey said, “If you are also pregnant, it happens that they can grow up together.”
“Then you should also urge April by the way,” Matilda said.
Casey said, “And Tilly and Ivy, and Averi.”
“For Mikayla, it’s going to be a few years,” Casey said.
Aimee came out with a straight face and said, “That’s not necessarily the case. Maybe they will overtake.”
This statement made Matilda and Casey dumbfounded.
