âIâm in the middle of something right now. But Iâll check up on him once Iâm free. Bye now.â Sheila put down the phone abruptly.
Her reaction took Levant by surprise.
âWhy did you say that youâre occupied?â Levant asked nervously.
Sheila shrugged her shoulders. âIâm telling the truth. Look, Iâm not done eating, so Iâm not free!â She took another piece of fish and enjoyed the succulent delicacy.
Evan and Nicole understood Sheilaâs intention. Sheâs doing this on purpose. I guess she wants Levant to take care of his son at the hospital. After all, Levant is Lukeâs father.
At the same time, Sophia was well aware of Sheilaâs intention as well. She sighed, âIt pains me whenever children get sick. Theyâre so young and donât know how to express themselves. Hence, they could only cry when theyâre not feeling well. When Evan and Davin were young, they would cry their heart out whenever they were sick. Ah⦠thinking about that just makes me so upset!â
Sophiaâs statement allowed Levant to visualize the image of his son crying. The more he thought about his son crying, his heart gripped even tighter.
Davin added, âYeah! Iâve even heard about a sick child who cried until he lost his voice. Imagine the pain that the child went through!â
Similarly, Davinâs words erupted another wave of piercing pain in Levantâs heart.
Right then, Levant raised his eyebrow and looked at Sheila, âAre you not done yet? You should hurry up so you can check up on Luke at the hospital.â
However, Sheila pouted in response. âHeâs not my son, so why should I be in a hurry? Besides, youâre his father, and you donât look worried at all. If thatâs the case, why should I bother?â
âYouâ¦â Levant understood what she meant. Without further delay, he stood up and hurriedly left.
âNow, thatâs a surprise. It looks like he cares about his son after all,â Davin commented.
âAll parents care about their children. After all, blood is thicker than water.â Sophia sighed as she was able to resonate with Levantâs emotions.
Sheila then proceeded to ask, âDo you think that Levant and Tiffany will get back together?â
âThat depends. Levant is a stubborn person, and his arrogance chased Tiffany away. I donât think itâs that easy,â Sophia sighed yet again.
Not long after Levant left the Imperial Garden, he realized that he was unaware of Lukeâs location. As he left in a hurry, he didnât manage to enquire further about the hospital that Luke was admitted into.
He slammed the steering wheel in frustration. Be that as it may, he had to bite the bullet and eventually called Tiffany for answers.
Meanwhile, Tiffany was swamped with work in the office. When she noticed that the caller ID was Levant, she was utterly surprised.
Why is he calling me?
She hesitantly picked up the phone.
âWhatâs the matter?â Tiffany impatiently asked.
However, Levant was blunt with what he wanted to know. âWhich hospital is Luke in right now?â
Why is he asking about Luke? And how does he know that Luke is in the hospital? Right then, Tiffany recalled the phone call she made to Sheila a moment ago. Sheila must have told him.
Is Sheila busy? Is that the reason why she sent Levant?
âHey, Iâm asking a question!â Levant growled in frustration.
Tiffany returned to her senses and told him what he needed to know. After that, she ended the phone call instantly.
At the end of the day, Levant is still Lukeâs father. If he wants to visit Luke, then let him be. Since Luke is sick right now, itâs better to have another pair of hands to take care of him. This is timely as I am completely snowed under!
Levant was infuriated when Tiffany put down the phone abruptly. Following that, he took a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself down. How dare she put down the phone like that. She doesnât know how to take care of Luke, and she is unfit to be a mother. Crazy b****!
When Levant arrived at the hospital, he saw Luke lying down on the hospital bed. At the same time, Lukeâs big round eyes were staring at the ceiling. The nanny was sitting beside Luke and staring at the kid without taking her eyes off as if she were afraid that something bad would happen if she did.
Thank God Luke is not crying.
While he was on his way to the hospital, his mind kept replaying the conversation with Davin and Sophia. As a result, he was so worried that Luke would be crying his eyes out!
