Chapter 1915: Carefully Consider Your Advice

"Never mind, just taking care of it will do," Joyce suddenly remembered something. "It's not good for us to go to the hospital empty-handed. Should we buy something?"

"I thought about that already. I had Aaron buy a lot of toys and fruits, and they're in the trunk," Luther couldn't help but tease Joyce, pinching her nose. "It's too late when you remember."

Joyce felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she hadn't thought about that aspect thoroughly enough, compared to Luther.

As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the hospital.

The children had all been transferred to the VIP ward.

Joyce and Luther were carrying bags of toys, and Anderson was holding a basket of fruits. The three of them took the elevator to the top floor.

Upon pushing the door open, they saw that there were two hospital beds in the room.

Westbrook lay on one of the beds, still in a deep sleep.

Kiki had already woken up and was sitting on the other bed. Torrance was on the sofa, peeling an orange for her.

Upon seeing the visitors, Torrance quickly stood up and greeted, "You've arrived. Thanks to your help, the children were rescued. I've never been through something like this before; I was at my wits' end."

Joyce smiled, "Eliminating OGW and rescuing the hostages was supposed to be our job. You don't need to be so polite."

Luther put the toys he had brought against the wall on the floor, "Bought some toys for the kids. They've had a fright today."

As Kiki looked up, she saw Anderson too. She became very excited, her eyes sparkling, "Anderson, did you come here specifically to see me?"

Anderson placed the basket of fruits he was carrying on the bedside table. Seeing the expectant look in Kiki's eyes, he felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat, "Um, I came to see both of you."

Kiki's emotions suddenly got the better of her, and she burst into tears in front of everyone.

"I was so scared, none of you came. I kept calling your name, Anderson, but you never came. I thought I'd never see you again, sob..."

Torrance quickly stood up to comfort Kiki, "It's okay, don't cry. You've been saved. You need to be strong and stop crying. Aren't you going to thank Aunt Joyce and Uncle Luther?"

While crying, Kiki said, "Thank you, thank you, Uncle and Auntie."

Joyce quickly waved her hand, "You don't need to be so polite. Don't be too hard on the child. She's the one who suffered the most today."

Joyce had just wanted to step forward to comfort Kiki, but unexpectedly, Anderson spoke first, "Kiki, don't be afraid. I was also kidnapped before, and the situation was much worse for me. It left a deep shadow in my heart. But after overcoming my inner fear, I realized that every experience is just a part of life. After that, when I encountered similar situations, I was much calmer. I believe that after experiencing this danger, you won't be afraid of anything in the future."

Anderson's words were more effective. Kiki stopped crying, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes. You're right, I need to be strong! I won't let Mommy down!"

Anderson glanced at Westbrook, "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"He was kicked in the head by a bad woman. I saw his head hit the wall, and there was a lot of blood. I was so scared. He was trying to protect me, that's why the bad woman hit him," Kiki explained. As she spoke, recalling Athena's madness, Kiki shuddered again.

Torrance quickly pulled Kiki into her arms, patting her gently on the back, "It's okay, it's all in the past. That bad woman is gone; she won't harm you anymore."

"Yeah," Kiki nodded vigorously.

Joyce and Luther exchanged a glance.

At this moment, Torrance looked at them seriously, "Originally, the Tanaka family's affairs, we never wanted to get involved again. I think you might have some understanding of the feud between the Bryant family and the Tanaka family. My sister is still being kept in a mental hospital by the Tanakas. That crazy woman, I know she and Clint were in cahoots. I never thought she would target my daughter. After this incident, it's a reminder for me. Until the struggle for the Rohomes throne is over, I plan to take Kiki abroad to avoid any threats to her safety."

Joyce thought for a moment, "True, in about six months, this matter will be settled. Until then, you going away can also relieve Reuben'spressure."

"But I don't want to go," Kiki peeked out from Torrance's embrace. "Mom, I don't want to go. I still want to go to school."

"What do you understand? It's an adult matter; you shouldn't interrupt. You'll do as I say. Do you want to scare me again? Do you know how scared I was? My heart nearly stopped!" Torrance said sternly. She was particularly strict with Kiki, perhaps because Kiki was conceived through artificial insemination, and she didn't have the complete experience of being a mother, lacking a certain tenderness. Kiki lowered her head in sadness.

At this point, Anderson spoke up, "Aunt Sito, can I say something?"

Torrance looked at Anderson, she had never seen such a mature child before. Every word and action of his was like that of an adult. "Alright, Anderson, go ahead."

"My personal advice is that running away is not the solution. If you've been frightened, choosing to leave the area might help you forget over time. However, the fear will linger long-term, and the psychological shadow will never disappear. This is from my personal experience. Only by choosing to stay and face it together, waiting for the matter to come to a final resolution, will you overcome long-term psychological fear. So, if possible, there's no need to leave," Anderson spoke convincingly. "You've all heard a saying. 'Where you stumble, there lies your treasure."

Torrance was shocked; she had never expected such profound words from such a young child. Surely Anderson had been through even more brutal experiences to have such insight.

Torrance was silent for a moment. "Alright, I will carefully consider your advice."

Kiki breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Anderson a thumbs-up.

"Has the doctor mentioned when you can leave the hospital?" Luther asked at this moment, skillfully changing the subject. "I can see that Kiki is in good spirits; there's no need for her to stay overnight in the hospital. It's better to go back home tonight."

"Yes, the doctor said we can leave. I waited here for you to come over so that I could thank you in person," Torrance nodded solemnly. "I really appreciate what you've done today."

"Don't mention it, it's only natural," Joyce replied with a smile.

"I'll take Kiki home first," Torrance lifted Kiki, a rare moment for her to hold a child.

Kiki obediently snuggled against her mother and waved to them, "Anderson, we're going home now. Let me know when Westbrook wakes up, okay?"

"Okay," Anderson nodded.
