Felicia said, "I'll cover their payment."

"Alright."

Before the plane landed, the employment notice had already been sent out.

With a considerable sum of money on the table, plenty of people were eager to take on the task. Ultimately, six individuals were chosen.

The maid replied, "Mr. Russell hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor says his condition is stable. The toxins are gradually dissipating. Aside from his blindness, his body is recovering well."

"That's good." Imogen let out a sigh of relief and instructed the maid to bring her child over.

Caleb Russell was well-behaved. After finishing his milk, he neither cried nor fussed. He just occasionally let out a few gurgles and blew some bubbles. His body exuded a milky scent.
