Chapter 245

Estrella looked around the ward, noticing many fresh fruits and snacks beside the cabinet. She had a rough idea of what was going on.

Estrella walked calmly into the ward, and Jason looked up, greeting her with a “You’re here.”

In his arms, Isaac seemed oblivious to Estrella’s arrival, completely engrossed in playing with his Lego bricks.

Estrella let out a noncommittal ‘hmm’ in response to Jason just as her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was a call from Autumn.

“Mom,” Estrella called out, and Autumn’s voice came through, “Estrella, I took Isaac to see Jason at the hospital this afternoon and twisted my ankle. Isaac refused to leave, so after getting it treated, I headed back home. If you’re coming back from Glimmering Lake, could you pick Isaac up on your way?”

“I’m already here, I’ll take Isaac home soon,” Estrella replied after ending the call.

She noticed Isaac still hadn’t realized her presence, his attention fully captured by the Lego set. Estrella’s face was a picture of exasperation. Pocketing her phone, Estrella moved closer to the bedside and ruffled Isaac’s hair, “Jeez, kid, you’ve got toys and you wouldn’t even notice your mother.”

Jason chuckled as he got out of bed, “He’s really focused, smart kid. And Isaac has grown so much lately, looks more like a two-and-a-half-year-old than under two.”

Jason’s roundabout hints made Estrella give him a look before casually remarking, “My mom knows how to feed him well.”

It was only then that Isaac slightly snapped out of his Lego world, looking up at Estrella and cheerfully calling out, “Mommy!”

Estrella tousled his hair again, “Time to head home, kiddo. It’s getting dark.”
