At this moment, their son was snuggled up in Graceâs arms. He blew on her neck, asking, âWill it stop hurting if I do this?â
Her sonâs actions melted Graceâs heart, and she nodded, âUh-huh, it doesnât hurt anymore.â
âIâll protect you from now on. Iâll beat up the bad guys so that you wonât get hurt again,â said Mick Reed.
Grace smiled and kissed her son on the cheek. The little one instantly blushed slightly, but he did not leave Graceâs arms. His two small arms wrapped themselves around Graceâs waist, and then he laid his face in her arms.
It was his motherâs smell. He was going to protect her!
Jason would have taken his son straight out of Graceâs arms if he were not injured and still had an IV drip attached to one hand.
The two wanted to spend the night at the hospital with their parents. Jasper even said she would take good care of her parents and not go to kindergarten until they were discharged from the hospital.
It took Grace a lot of explaining to dissuade the two young ones from spending the night in the hospital.
By the time Uncle Kwan went home with the two siblings, Grace felt like she had fought a tough battle.
In the evening, two more children came to the ward.
Only this time, it was Mason and Veronica Barlow.
Grace was surprised to see the two children who were caught and brought over by bodyguards.
When she heard that Veronica Barlow had snuck in and there were a bunch of reporters waiting at the hospitalâs entrance, Grace was worried about the two children.
âWhere are your parents? They didnât come to the hospital with you?â Grace asked Veronica Barlow.
After all, the two children were so young. The He familyâs house was also some distance away from the hospital.
âThey went out for a party, so I came here with Mason in a taxi!â said Veronica Barlow.
Grace broke into a sweat from fright for the two children. She was just glad they did not get into an illegal taxi.
âUncle Reed, aunt Cummins, Mason saw the news online and was worried about you. He wanted to see you,â said Veronica Barlow as she pushed Mason, who was standing behind her, a few steps forward. âDidnât you say you wanted to see them?â
Mason blinked, and his long black eyelashes started fluttering like fans. His eyes with an empty look in them stared at Jason and Grace. Moments later, he turned to Veronica Barlow and said, âIâve seen them.â
With that said, he shook Veronica Barlowâs hand, implying that they could go now.
The time he took to âseeâ them was so short it would leave one speechless.
Veronica Barlow seemed a little embarrassed. âWonât you see them a little longer?â
The little one blinked again and turned his head to look at Jason and Grace as if he was obediently doing what Veronica Barlow just mentioned.
It might be upsetting for ordinary children to be indifferent to their biological parents, but Grace was happy.
