Chapter 1260

The whistle came from the gate of the courtyard.

Before long, several figures resembling bodyguards emerged in the darkness.

The one who blew the whistle, I recognized at a glance, was the bodyguard who was following Matthew yesterday.

As soon as those people appeared, the Tibetan Mastiff ran towards them, obediently rubbing against their legs like a Ha Ba dog.

The whistle stopped, and the bodyguard took it, smiling at me, and saying, “Ms. Duffy, this is the second gift from Mr. Galatea to Mr. Roderick and Miss Estelle, surprise?”

I tightly grasped the hand beside me and asked coldly, “What does he want to do?”

The bodyguard smiled and said, “Ms. Duffy, you can call and ask him yourself.”

I gritted my teeth in anger.

Matthew was so mean and despicable that he actually released a Tibetan Mastiff to scare my Essie and Roddy.

Matthew avoided Reynaldo and instead deliberately targeted me and the children. It was clear that he was trying to provoke Reynaldo using me and the children.

I stared heavily at the few people at the door.

The leading bodyguard smiled at me and said, “Mr. Galatea mentioned that he deliberately brought his beloved pet to play with Mr. Roderick and Miss Estelle, but Ms. Duffy doesn’t seem to like it very much.”

Mr. Galatea also said that if Ms. Duffy did not like this second gift, then he would prepare a third gift for Mr. Roderick and Miss Estelle. Ms. Duffy was told to ‘please look forward to it.’”

“Get lost!” I coldly muttered.

The bodyguard smiled and then disappeared into the night with his men and the Tibetan Mastiff.

As soon as they left, the bodyguards in the yard quickly closed the courtyard gate.

My tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and I quickly checked on the condition of the two children.

Roddy was fine, although he was scared; his face was very pale, but he remained calm.

But Essie was really scared; she cried in my arms, her voice getting quieter, and her whole spirit starting to wilt.

I panicked, afraid that her illness had recurred, so I quickly picked her up and rushed into the house.

Madisyn saw the situation and quickly called the family doctor to come over.

The bodyguard told me that Essie and Roddy were originally playing games in the yard when, suddenly, a Tibetan Mastiff rushed out from somewhere and headed straight for Essie.

Although the bodyguards in the yard quickly grabbed weapons to stop it, the Tibetan Mastiff did not reach Essie.

But because the Tibetan Mastiff was closest to Essie at that time, Essie was so scared that she fell to the ground and cried out in terror.

Listening to the bodyguards’ descriptions, I felt a tightness in my heart.

I sat on the edge of the bed holding Roddy, gently stroking Essie’s forehead with heartache.

Before long, Essie’s forehead started to feel hot.

Realizing that Essie might have developed a high fever due to being scared, I panicked even more and quickly asked Madisyn to call the doctor.

Essie was almost incoherent now, with her eyes closed, her little head constantly shaking from side to side, and a continuous whimper of fear coming from her mouth.

Her small body kept trembling.

Roddy tightly held Essie’s hand and anxiously asked me, “Mommy, will Essie be okay?”

I shook my head and said firmly, “Yes, the doctor will be here soon, Essie will be fine.”

Roddy pursed his lips, didn’t ask anything else, just climbed down from me, then got into bed and held Essie in his arms.
