I finished speaking, Essie and Roddy both nodded towards him.
Essie held his arm and said softly, “Anton, Daddy said he’s going to take us to set off fireworks on New Year’s Eve, will you come with us?”
Roddy continued, “And there’s also a reunion dinner. Madisyn said that on that day, all of us have to sit together and have a meal. I even prepared New Year gifts for Mom and Dad.”
“Anton, if you had come, I would have prepared a meal for you too.
Anton stared at them blankly, his eyes slowly welling up with tears.

He smiled at the two children and said, “Okay, then I’ll come over and spend New Year’s Eve with you.”
“Good job!”
The two children clapped their hands happily.
Anton asked the two children to play with toys on the side first, then he walked over to me and said, “Actually, I came here today to tell you something.”
I instinctively tensed up: “What’s the matter?”
Perhaps too many things have happened recently, and my heart is always in a state of confusion and unease. So when he said that, I panicked instinctively, afraid of what might be wrong.
Anton pursed his lips and said, “I went to see Vonnie today and

noticed a promising sign.”
My heart skipped a beat and I exclaimed excitedly, “Really? Is Vonnie going to wake up?”
“I’m not sure yet,” Anton said seriously, “I checked her body and found that all her functions are recovering, which means there is a good chance she will wake up.”
“Really?”
I was so excited that I was about to cry.
Anton nodded and said, “I have contacted an orthopedic professor I know, and I will have him take a look at Vonnie. So far, it seems that Vonnie’s physical functions are recovering, which is a very positive sign.”
I hurriedly asked, “When will the professor come over?”
“After the New Year, he was very busy at the end of the year and had to spend time with his family.”
“Okay,” I exclaimed, “It’s good that Vonnie has a chance to wake up.”
This is the only good news I have heard during this period.
Great, Vonnie finally had hope of waking up.
Anton looked at me, then suddenly hesitated, “In a couple of days, Johnathan’s case will be heard, do you… have any ideas on how to save him?”
Whenever Johnathan’s name is mentioned, my mood becomes heavy again.
I shook my head.

Anton pursed his lips and said nothing more.
When I entered the study, Reynaldo was on the phone. his expression was particularly cold, and he exuded an aura of hostility.
I stood at the door for a long time until he finished his call, and only then did I walk in with the sweet soup in hand.
When Reynaldo saw me, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
He smiled at me and asked, “How did you come up? Weren’t you down there talking to Anton?”
When he said this, the murderous aura all over his body had
completely faded away, and a touch of tenderness appeared between his eyebrows.
I gave him a cold look and said, “Do you want me to accompany him?”
Saying that, I walked over and placed the sweet soup on the desk.
He smiled and pulled me into his arms, kissed my lips, “Of course not.”
I circled his waist and looked up at him, “Just now, I invited Anton to come over on New Year’s Eve to celebrate with us.”
Reynaldo paused for a second, smiled and nodded, “Hmm.”
I looked at him in astonishment and said, “You’re not angry?”
