19.Eleanor Lee 7
After breakfast, Ellen accompanied her children to Florin Park, the biggest zoo in the capital. The children were excited and they kept jumping up and down.
The three walked holding hands, their bright eyes dazzling. They were dressed in matching outfits, white T-shirts with some floral designs and blue denim jeans.
Liam and Sherry had coaxed their Mingming uncle into buying the outfits while they were abroad for this particular day.
The scene of a very beautiful young woman with two stunning little children that looked like angels was spectacular. People threw all types of gazes to them; envious, admiration...
It was breathtaking. The kids were excited watching the little monkeys jumping up and down. Sherry was clapping her hands and laughing loudly. Even the cold Liam had a huge smile on his face.
They saw varieties of animals in the zoo. A staff was happily accompanying them showing them the different kinds of animals.
They were not VIP customers but the woman was beautiful and the little kids were too cute to be ignored. He was filled with joy interacting with them. He gladly answered every silly question they asked.
Sherry was deep in thought and then asked the staff whether the animals in the zoo were little orphans. She had heard in school that little children who were orphans lived in orphanages.
They had visited an orphanage a dozen of times because they had an uncle, Lucas Gray , who grew up in an orphanage. To Sherry, the zoo seemed like an orphanage.
The staff smiled warmly and answered her, " some animals got injured in the wild and are unable to survive on their own, but in the zoos they can live out the rest of their lives healthy and happy.
In here, they can also be used for research purposes and to entertain little babies like you. "
Sherry looked at the animals pitifully when she heard that they were probably injured. She felt like giving them a hug and some food. Her eyes twinkled at the idea but soon dulled when she remembered that eating was not allowed in a zoo.
She frowned and asked the reason. Liam looked at her gently and replied, "some violent animals might snatch and you might get hurt in the process. " He really cared for his little sister.
Sherry curved her mouth in an ' oh ' as realization dawned on her little face.
After having enough fun, they were about to head for lunch when Ellen's phone rang. She hanged up after a minute. " Change of plans, old Hua invited us for lunch. " She held the children's hands as they left the zoo.
" Grandpa Chen? When did he come back? " The children asked excitedly. They had a close relationship with the old man, Hua Chen. Although he was a native of Continent M, he rarely came back home.
He was a famous and established doctor in London. He was the owner of the famous Hua General Hospitals that were widespread in the whole country. He had also established hospitals back in his home country. The Hua General Hospitals which were also widespread in Continent M were the best and most prestigious hospitals in the country.
They served the rich and those of noble status in the country. Their medical fees were so expensive making it hard for the average people to afford treatment in them. Their services and expertise were topnotch making the extremely expensive medical fees reasonable.
Their doctors were highly trained and were top graduates from prestigious schools. Their medical equipments were also expensive and proficient. This made them first-rate hospitals.
" That old man is rather cunning, he must be up to something, since when was he this generous. " Ellen frowned in displeasure.
They boarded a taxi to the hotel address old Hua had sent her through a text message. They entered the Grand Hotel which was a five star hotel owned by the prestigious Li family.
Being the country's Royal family, the Li family were the most prominent and richest family in the country. The hotel was a high class restaurant where luxury exuded from every corner. Ellen gawked at the exquisite hotel and her lips twitched. ' Now this is more suspicious.'
She was walking towards the reception when someone called her. Her eyes shifted to the direction and saw two middle aged men. They seemed rich and were dressed in expensive suits.
" Miss, may I have your moment please..." One of the men asked Ellen. His eyes were glued to her and they were twinkling as if he found a very precious treasure. The other man frowned in confusion.
Ellen was uncomfortable with their gazes. She hesitated for a second then nodded indifferently. She was wondering what the hell they wanted. She was new in the capital thus only a handful of people knew her. She grew up in a different city until she moved to London 5 years ago.
The man was surprised by Ellen's indifference. He was a famous movie director and was used to people worshipping him wherever he appeared. He was used to people giving him respectful gazes full of admiration.
A lot of people appreciated his movies and a lot of actors and actresses died to be featured in one his movies or TV drama series.
The girl Infront of him had round eyes that were bright and languid. They were void of any emotions. She was not tall but she was excessively beautiful and cute. She was calmly scrutinizing him. Although she looked simple, she had a strong domineering aura.
She wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans that matched with the two cute little buddies on each of her side holding her hands. They were also scrutinizing him with serious expressions on their tiny faces. He chuckled inwardly,
' what an interesting trio.'
