Together Apart: Her White Moonlight Has Returned Too-Chapter 204: Love Your Third Uncle the Most

Vera Yves looked calm, "We’re divorced, why keep it around if it just bothers us?"

Winston Valentine sneered lightly, "I knew you’d be so heartless."

"Think about it, what does divorce mean? Who else would be so twisted to keep wedding photos in the room after divorcing?" Vera glanced at the wedding photo on the wall, "Doesn’t it bother you?"

"What’s there to be bothered about?"

Could it be more bothersome than the wedding photos of her and Miles Monroe?

"But honestly, I don’t look handsome enough here. Maybe we should find a time to take another set."

Vera moved his hand away, "I have something serious to discuss with you."

"I don’t want to hear it."

Vera: ...

"Toby is sick."

Winston looked at her somewhat surprised, "You hesitated for so long just to tell me this?"

"What else?" Thinking about Theo Hughes’ condition, Vera’s expression darkened, "Toby’s condition seems to be very serious. I wanted you to remind your elder sister to take Toby for a thorough check-up."

Winston’s expression also darkened, "How serious is it?"

Vera looked at him, hesitated and said, "He might have leukemia."

Winston was silent for a while, "I’ll tell her tomorrow morning."

Vera nodded and gently hugged him.

Chelsea Valentine’s biological mother passed away early, so she matured quickly and took care of her siblings, while Winston had a somewhat withdrawn personality from a young age, so Chelsea had always looked after him.

Since Vera married into The Valentine Family, she had little interaction with Chelsea, but Chelsea did not look down on her like the other members of The Valentines.

Early the next morning, Chelsea was surprised to hear Winston telling her to take Theo to the hospital for a check-up.

She hesitated before speaking, "Actually, when I took Toby for a physical before, I already knew he was ill, but Jasper Hughes wouldn’t allow treatment for Toby, so I tried every possible way to divorce him."

Vera was a bit puzzled, "Why won’t Jasper Hughes allow treatment for Toby?"

Toby was the only child of two people, and the Hughes Family wasn’t short on money, they could provide excellent medical conditions for Toby.

Chelsea clenched her palm tightly and finally closed her eyes lightly, "He’s not Toby’s biological father."

Vera and Winston were both taken aback.

Winston asked expressionlessly, "Do the Hughes Family know?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Chelsea shook her head, "Only Jasper Hughes knows, he won’t allow me to treat Toby, nor let me seek a bone marrow match for Toby, he wants Toby to just die like this."

"So you tried everything to divorce him?"

"His father is a man who values face, I made such a fuss that even if he doesn’t want to divorce, his father would make him do it. And as for my dad, even if he doesn’t want to, he has no position to refuse />

As long as she divorces Jasper Hughes and gets custody of Toby, she can treat Toby.

At the breakfast table, Theo Hughes had no appetite and looked at Chelsea Valentine eagerly, "Mom, when can I go to kindergarten?"

"Didn’t Mom tell you? The kindergarten is being renovated. Once it is finished, I’ll take you there."

"What about Dad? When will he take us home?" Theo Hughes looked upset, "He hasn’t lifted me high for a long time. Does Dad not love me anymore?"

Chelsea Valentine tenderly ruffled his hair, "Dad... of course, he loves you, but he’s on a business trip now, so he can’t come to take us."

"You’re lying!" Theo was angry and snorted, "You clearly said he’d be back this weekend and you both would take me to the amusement park!"

"Your Dad is really busy."

After learning Toby wasn’t his biological son, Jasper Hughes came to detest Toby deeply, never smiled at him, and never got close to him again.

"Do you want to go to the amusement park with Uncle and Aunt?" Winston Valentine looked at Theo Hughes, smiling gently, "Uncle will buy you toys."

Theo Hughes’ face instantly lit up, "Yes, I want to play, I want lots and lots of toys!"

Chelsea Valentine still had wounds on her body, making it inconvenient to go out.

After eating, Winston Valentine and Vera Yves took Theo Hughes out together.

The little guy liked Vera Yves a lot, hugging her and acting cutely all the way. Seeing the little guy keep burrowing into Vera’s arms, Winston Valentine couldn’t help but pull him away.

"Keep away from my wife."

Vera gave him a sideways glance, who is your wife?

"I like Aunt, I want Aunt to hold me." Theo Hughes struggled to get back into Vera’s arms.

Winston Valentine directly picked him up in his arms, "Come on, love your third uncle."

Winston Valentine usually had a stern face, Theo Hughes was a bit afraid of him all along. Seeing his face up close, the little guy was instantly frightened and burst into tears.

Vera Yves looked speechless as she took Theo Hughes over, soothing him with a gentle voice, "Toby, be good, don’t cry, Aunt will hold you, won’t let Uncle touch you, okay?"

The little guy couldn’t listen, and his cries were still earth-shattering.

Vera could only gently stroke his little head to calm him.

Winston Valentine’s face looked darker. Was he that terrifying?

His gaze swept over them, seeing Vera’s face with such tenderness it seemed like water could drip from it, Winston’s heart softened instantly.

If they had a child in the future, she would definitely be a great mother.

Unable to stop himself, he thought of the child they never had, and Winston’s heart filled with a sour feeling. Fortunately, everything could still be restarted.

Reaching the amusement park, Winston Valentine asked the driver to buy toys, before coaxing the little guy out of Vera’s arms.

Winston Valentine tried hard to muster an amiable smile, but seeing the little guy about to pout again, he straightforwardly lifted him onto his shoulders.

The little guy’s vision opened wide, and he yelled happily, "Riding a great horse! Giddy-up, giddy-up!"

Theo Hughes’ joyful shout drew quite a few eyes around.

Winston Valentine’s face was flushed with embarrassment, noticing Vera laughing at him secretly, he tapped her nose, "What’s so funny?"

And held her hand in the process.

"If you get tired, I can hold him for a while." Vera’s eyes still carried a smile, "It’ll be uncomfortable for your nape to be under constant pressure."

Winston Valentine tightened his grip on her hand, "It’s not a problem, he’s so small."

"This is our first time at an amusement park." Winston Valentine looked around, "What do you want to play? I can accompany you."

"Have you been here before?"

Winston Valentine’s expression was calm, "I’ve been here, but I never played."

He recalled when he was in elementary school, every time the weekend passed, kids would discuss where their parents had taken them.

Amusement parks, zoos, water parks, so many places, under the kids’ exaggerated descriptions, those places seemed so enticing.

One time he came home and saw Tristan Valentine was also there.

He remembered one child saying, if parents didn’t want to accompany them, acting cute or even crying was very useful.

So he gathered himself and walked to Tristan Valentine, shook his big hand, "Dad, can you and mom take me to the amusement park this weekend?"

Afraid Tristan Valentine would refuse, he kept shaking his hand, "Dad, I really want to go to the amusement park. Please say yes."

Tristan Valentine withdrew his hand and patted his head, "Alright."

That single "alright" left him sleeplessly excited for days, but when the weekend came, only Leo Grant took him to the amusement park.

Looking at the attractions he had only heard about from other kids, he wasn’t interested at all.

He asked Leo Grant why his dad didn’t come.

Leo Grant only looked at him sympathetically, "President Valentine had an urgent business trip."

He didn’t even bother to make a more believable excuse.

Vera Yves shook Winston Valentine’s hand, "What’s up?"

Winston Valentine snapped back to reality, "Have you been here before?"

Vera’s eyes paused briefly, "Yes."

Winston Valentine gripped her hand tighter, "Perfect, let’s play everything you played before again."
