Matthew barely drank a few mouthfuls of soup before he started shaking his head
Ada glanced at Wayne and said awkwardly, “Are you still not feeling well in your stomach? It’s okay t’ll leave the chicken soup here first. If you want to drink it later, I’ll feed you.”
Matthew shrank his shoulders as if he was a little afraid of her. He reached one hand out from under the covers and tugged on Wayne’s sleeve
Wayne took his hand and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Matthew shook his head, and then looked at the door was thinking and told him with a frown.
He didn’t know why Matthew was sick if it was because of food poisoning. But when he arrived at the hospital in the morning and saw Matthew lying weakly in bed with no one around, he felt a little angry.
Maybe she treated Matthew this way because he isn‘t her child. If it were her daughter lying in the hospital, she probably would have stayed with her all night.
After all, no one will leave such a little kid alone in the hospital.
As he was thinking, he heard Ada say, “I heard that Anna took Matthew to eat at a restaurant last night. Those restaurants are dirty and the food is not fresh. How can she take a child to eat in a place like that?”
Wayne had already heard the housekeeper say this, and Ada repeating it made him feel even more annoyed. He frowned with a look of displeasure.
When Matthew saw that his dad was unhappy, he immediately wrote on the drawing board, “It wasn’t Auntie Anna who wanted to take me there. Ryan chose the place.”
He said this so that they would not blame Anna again. To his surprise, Wayne looked even more upset after seeing the word ‘Ryan’.
Ada kept looking at them and snickered after seeing this expression on Wayne’s face. She rolled her eyes and then looked at Matthew. Her eyes became fierce but then returned to normal.
She knew that if she wanted to win Wayne back, she still had to please Matthew.
Although she felt that Matthew was in the way, he was the one person Wayne cared very much about after all.
After spending some time with Matthew, Wayne glanced at his phone and prepared to leave. He gave Matthew a hug before leaving, and Ada said she would take care of this little kid.
Wayne just walked out of the ward, then saw a familiar figure on the couch in the hallway by the door. She looked very haggard.
When she saw him come out, Anna stood up and looked at him, a little overwhelmed. Wayne frowned and asked coldly and politely, “When did you get here?”
Anna, carrying her lunchbox, said, “I just got here. I’m here to bring Matthew some breakfast. I saw you guys in there, so I didn’t bother you. Has Matthew finished his breakfast?”
Wayne took a quick look at the lunchbox in her hand and replied indifferently, “Yes.”
Anna was afraid to look Wayne in the eye. She lowered her head, and whispered, “I’m sorry. it’s my fault I will take good care of him until he recovers, and I’ve asked for a leave.”
The more sincere she apologized, the more it gave Wayne a feeling that she felt guilty for doing something wrong He was already upset, even though he didn’t know what was happening
“No, you‘re too busy taking care of your daughter, other people, and the people you picked up home from outside I know you don’t have time to take care of Matthew. Besides, someone else is already taking care of Matthew”
Anna clenched her fists Just as she looked up to say something for herself, Wayne was goneHe didn’t even give her a chance to defend herself.
She was also disappointed to find that she had nothing to defend herself.
Matthew had indeed been in the hospital because of her. She understood that Wayne was angry with her and even she herself was angry with herself.
She was well aware that Matthew had grown up around Wayne for many years and ate only the most refined foods. She didn’t know what she was thinking at the time and kept blaming herself.
Ada, who was in the hospital room with Matthew, clearly heard their conversation at the door.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Before opening the door, Ada put on her sunglasses mask to avoid being recognized.
“Where is the patient’s father?” After entering the door and looking around, the doctor did not see Wayne, so he asked Ada directly.
“Well, he just left. What can I do for you?” Ada asked. Her sunglasses covered most of her face, making her voice sound muffled.
The doctor did not recognize her and said expressionlessly, “The test results say that this child is not sick from food poisoning, but from a viral infection caused by fever. He can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon.”
Hearing this, Ada frowned slightly and clenched her fist. However, she put on a relieved look and said, “So, that’s great! I’ll tell his father later. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The doctor smiled lightly and left the ward.
Matthew covered the quilt tightly, only revealing a pair of somewhat dull eyes. As Ada moved closer to him, he shivered more and more violently.
“Matthew, did you just hear something?”
Ada’s voice was soft yet somewhat eerie, like a ghost. Her voice seemed to trigger the deepest fear in Matthew’s heart, making him pale, start sweating, and even almost faint.
He just shook his head.
Ada raised her hand and touched him on the head, and said, “Very good, good boy. You really didn’t hear anything just now. If you tell your dad the real cause of your sickness, I’d be mad. If you make me angry, you know what I’ll do to you.”
She ran her hand over Matthew’s head, causing him to shudder in horror. He was so shocked that tears almost fell from his eyes, and at that moment, it was as if he remembered something that had happened a long time ago. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn’t make a sound.
Ada seemed to be satisfied with his frightened expression. She looked at the weak creature, sneered disdainfully, and said, “Don’t worry, little Matthew. If I become your mommy, I will be good to you. Don’t be afraid.”
After leaving work that afternoon, Wayne immediately went to the hospital to discharge Matthew and take him home. Ada, who had been at the hospital with Matthew all day, also got in the car.
“The doctor said Matthew’s digestive system is not good. So, he can’t eat at some small restaurants with low hygiene standard.” Ada’s voice echoed in the car.
Lying in Wayne’s arms, Matthew secretly clenched his tiny fists but did not dare to speak.
Wayne nodded his head and said politely, “I know. Thank you.” “It’s okay. I really like Matthew, and I’d be sad if he gets sick.” Wayne listened to her absentmindedly and kept looking out the window.
After he said some unpleasant words to Anna in the morning, she didn’t come back to the hospital anymore. He thought maybe he had been too mean to her.
Two days later, it was Saturday. Wayne stayed at home to take care of Matthew.
Matthew had stopped throwing up and having diarrhea, but he was still suffering from a fever. Therefore, Wayne did not let him go out but rest at home.
Matthew was an energetic child. Even though he was sick, he kept begging Wayne to take him to visit Anna and Tammy When Matthew first said this, Wayne didn’t care.
Later, because Matthew had said it too many times, Wayne had trouble sleeping at night and had insomnia for several days,
Wayne was coaxing Matthew to eat breakfast when he heard a doorbell come from the door The sound echoed through the house,
The maid hurried to open the door. Wayne then heard the maid’s startled voice coming from the door
