Chapter 1382 Drawing Board

“What a precious gift, Joy! Thank you so much!”

“Joy is such a thoughtful kid. Speaking of which, I’ve asked her if she had prepared any gifts for you on the way earlier, but she didn’t tell me anything. Oh, Joy. If you’d told me back then, I would’ve brought you to a place where you could buy a much bigger crystal for your mother.”

Upon hearing that, Joy chuckled and responded, “Well, since I have a tiny stature, giving her this crystal is most suitable. She loves it as well.”

“Exactly, Joy. Your mother will love anything you give, regardless of the size,” uttered Evan. He then carried his adorable daughter in his arms and planted a kiss on her fair cheeks.

Looking at his cheeky sister, Juan exclaimed, “You’ve stolen all the limelight today, Joy. Who would’ve thought? Your gift has utterly outshone the flowers we’ve prepared.”

“The flowers are delightful too! The world will be a beautiful garden as long as everyone has a pure heart like a fragrant flower. Look at the hospital! It looks so wonderful with these flowers.” Joy glanced at the flowers while giggling.

“Your sweet-talking skills are off the charts, Joy. Come here. Let me give you a warm hug.” Juan hugged Joy after hearing those words and scrutinized her. “Since you’re so smart, I want to reward you. Sounds good?”

“What reward?” Joy questioned while blinking her bright eyes.

“Do you have anything in mind?”

“Hmm, I want a gigantic drawing board.”

“No problem. I’ll give you a drawing board as a gift.”

In response, Joy nodded enthusiastically with glee. Simultaneously, Zayden scratched his head before asking Juan, “Can you give me a drawing board as well, Juan?”

“Sure! One for each of you, then!”

“Yay! Now then, let’s go and purchase the drawing boards!” Zayden spoke passionately.

Pondering for a few seconds, Juan decided to accompany them for a while, since Nicole did not need any assistance from him at the moment. “All right. Let’s go!”

As soon as they arrived at a shopping mall opposite the hospital, they browsed around to find the drawing boards. After picking the ones they liked the most, Zayden and Joy returned to the hospital along with Juan.

“Stay here for a while. I have to go outside and check whether my help is needed.”

“Okay. Go ahead, Juan,” Joy replied in a mellifluous voice.

“We’ll behave ourselves.” Zayden gave Juan his word.

“Glad to hear that. I’ll treat you both to a delicious meal when I come back.”

“Okay!” Zayden and Joy nodded in unison.

“I have a new drawing board now. What should be my first drawing? I got it! I’ll draw Mommy’s hospital!”

“I have a new one as well. I want to draw that too.” Zayden unwrapped the drawing board as Joy did.

“Eh? Why is my drawing board red? Didn’t I choose the green one?” Zayden stared at the frame of the drawing board in perplexity.

With a matter-of-fact demeanor, Joy told him, “No, you chose the red one.”

“You’re wrong. I chose the green one.” Immediately after saying that, Zayden shot a glance at Joy’s drawing board and shouted, “Hey! That’s mine!”

“This drawing board is mine, not yours. We’ve been holding the drawing boards we picked respectively in our hands all this while. The one with me is mine without question. How is it yours, then?”

“Nonsense! That drawing board is mine!” Zayden roared as he concluded that Joy must have swapped the drawing boards secretly.

“No! I’ve chosen the green one! This drawing board is mine!”

“The green one is mine!”

“It’s mine!”

Zayden widened his eyes in anger while Joy placed her hands on her hips furiously. Their quarrel was increasingly intense.

Subsequently, Zayden made up his mind to snatch the drawing board from Joy directly, as he realized he could never out-talk her. “Give it to me! That’s mine!”

“I’ll bite you if you persist on snatching away what’s mine, Zayden!”

“Bite me? I’ll hit you in return!”
