Chapter 177
Zach ordered some bread and a cup of milk. When the restaurant owner served the food, he brought some pickles, saying it was free.
Elvira took the fork from the side and handed it to Zach. Seeing him looking at the food hesitantly, she could not help but laugh. “You’re not used to it, are you?”
“It’s alright.” Zach took the fork and was about to wipe it when Elvira picked up a dumpling and ate it.
The soft skin and the sauce–flavored minced meat increased ones appetite. Elvira ate a dumpling and picked up some pickles to cat. Then, she picked up the soy milk and had a taste.
Seeing his wife relish the food, Zach smiled and realized he was little picky. Then, he also started eating.
Seeing him eat a dumpling in just one gulp, Elvira gave him a thumbs up. “Mr. Gilbert, you look so down–to–earth now.”
“My wife is down–to–earth. Of course, I need to be down–to–earth too. I’ll always keep up with you.” Zach picked up some pickles and put them in is mouth.
He was a little surprised. It was not that the pickles were stunning, but they were much more delicious than he had expected, especially the cabbage inside. It was salty and delicious, and it actually tasted quite good.
Elvira imitated him and ate a dumpling in just one gulp. She said happily, “I’m even happier eating in this way.”
If you like it, we can often have dumplings here when we have time.” Realizing that she liked it, Zach wanted to come with her more often.
“Forget it. We can eat somewhere else,” Elvira replied with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After dinner, Elvira paid and the two of them went home.
It was only six o’clock when they got home. Elvira suggested sleeping for two hours before going to work. Zach readily agreed. He was very happy to sleep with his wife in his arms.
The couple washed up and went to bed. Elvira hugged Zach and asked, “Have you told Carmen about her daughter?”
“Not yet. I plan to tell her the truth today. I can’t always hide it from her.” Zach sighed with resignation. He felt bad at the mention of this.
He really hoped that the child was not dead. If he could help Carmen find the child and then help them escape the Miller family’s control, he would be able to repay Carmen for her kindness. Now that the child was gone, he was unsure what Carmen was going to do in the rest of her life.
“Mmm, it’s time to tell her. Go to sleep. I’m tired.” Elvira yawned and slept with her face against his chest.
Zach did not think too much about it. When he hugged his wife, he did not want to think about anything bad. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep while smelling Elvira’s scent.
After Zach arrived at the hospital, Carmen was receiving treatment from several specialists. After the recent treatment, she had recovered a lot and looked better.
Nina had been keeping a close eye on her. Zach could barely communicate with Carmen alone.
Today, Zach was annoyed. After the medical staff left, he stood up and walked up behind Nina, raised his hand, and knocked
her out.

After knocking her out, Zael quickly took a few steps back. Nina fell to the ground with a thud. Just listening to that sound, Carmen felt pain.
Carmen looked at Zach in surprise. Zach looked at her and said. She’s too annoying. Better to knock her out.”
“Guards, take her out,” Zach ordered. The bodyguards quickly came in and dragged Nina away.
When she was dragged out, she looked like a dead dog.
“Mr. Gilbert, is there news about my daughter? Where is she?” Carmen looked at him with anticipation and asked carefull. She had placed all her hopes on Zach, hoping that he could bring her daughter back to her side.
As long as her daughter could return to her, Carmen would not mind anything. She would beg Zach to send the mother and daughter away from here. She would even be willing to live in a remote town as long as she could be with her daughter.
“Carmen, I’ve already investigated. Your daughter… has passed away.” Zach told her the bad news with resignation.
Carmen looked at him as if she didn’t understand. She twitched her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter anything. Tears streamed out of her eyes. She wanted to make a sound, but she couldn’t make any as if she had been poisoned and become mate. Slowly, she looked extremely painful, and she still couldn’t make a sound.
She looked like she would die in the next second.
Zach was shocked and quickly called for a doctor. When the doctor came over, Carmen fainted completely. Zach watched the medical staff save Carmen with a heavy heart. He hated the Miller family very much. Carmen fainted from crying again after being rescued. This cycle seemed to never end.
In the end, Carmen completely fell asleep and did not wake up again. The doctor said that she was too sad and temporarily fell asleep. With her physical condition, it was unsure how long it would take for her to wake up.
Zach sent a large number of bodyguards to guard Carmen and ordered the Millers not to approach her again. He then went to deal with his own matters first and asked the bodyguards to call him when Carmen woke up.
At noon, Elvira and Cheryl had lunch together. Cheryl was obviously much better than before and looked much more cheerful. In addition, Elvira had asked someone to help Cheryl with skin management recently. Cheryl’s skin was so fair that it looked stunning and tender, especially suitable for the female lead.
“Miss Willis, I’ve always wanted to see you. I just wanted to thank you personally.” Cheryl raised wine in front of her to toast Elvira.
“Don’t mention it. I reached out to you just because you are highly discussed in public discourse. It will be helpful for my drama,” Elvira said honestly.
“Miss Willis, are you kidding me? People can barely recognize me when I go out. How can I be highly discussed in public discourse? You won’t lose money just because you hired me, right?” Cheryl looked at her nervously, too embarrassed to eat
anymore.
Elvira could not help but laugh when she saw Cheryl’s nervous look. She reached out and rubbed the top of Cheryl’s head. “You’ll have influence, but remember that no matter how others scold you, you can’t be discouraged. You haven’t done anything wrong, so you can face the world calmly. Do you understand?”
Cheryl was confused. She didn’t understand the meaning behind Elvira’s words. How could a forgotten celebrity like her have any popularity?
“Miss Willis, I’ll always obey you anyway. I’ll do whatever you say, I won’t believe anything you don’t tell me. I’ll believe in you for the rest of my life.” Cheryl looked at Elvira firmly and promised.

“Alright, I promise your that won’t cheat you.” Elvira also wanted to give her a sense of security.

Cheryl smiled happily. While the two of them were eating, someone suddenly barged in. When she saw Cheryl sitting opposite Elvira, she covered her mouth and laughed.
“I heard that you got two lousy actors to act. I thought it was a misunderstanding. I didn’t expect you to really hire such a small potato. Doesn’t that mean you’re going to lose very badly? Judy was wearing a gown and a fur shawl. Ever since she controlled Willis Group, she had become even more arrogant.
