Chapter 69: He Has a Son?!

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN:

He Has a Son?

--

The corridor of the hospital is cold and silent. The floor is cleaned like they were polishing a diamond, it even reflects the shine of the light coming out from the blubs embedded in the ceiling. There are sofas and chairs along the way, the doors of the rooms were closed tightly. Specks of lights are pouring out from the gaps of the door and the floor, and the glassed window. The hospital looks deserted if not for the group of five people- which consists of for adults and a 5-year-old kid- walking and passing the rooms.

"Uhm," Melanie tried her best to get their attention while whispering. The whole place is so quite that she felt bad about making noise. What if she wakes up the other patients in the hospital? And since there are nothing but silence surrounding them, the other three caught it. “I’m really sorry about this…”

Melanie’s eyes looked at Tyler who is carrying the little Kai in his arms. The boy is comfortably leaning on his shoulder with little snores coming out from him. He was fast asleep. They already explained things to him earlier before they head out, leaving Becca to look after Althea. Jack has classes tomorrow so he can’t accompany her, but he’ll come back in the hospital after his classes. It would be fortunate for all of them if her friend will come early and if Althea will regain her consciousness.

Kai did not even ask any more question after confirming that he will only be at their care for a short while until his mother wakes up. He is a smart kid, he understood very well. And it seems like it wasn’t the first time that he’s not under his mother’s care.

After their discussion, the forcedly woken up kid begun to get sleepy again, and that was when they decided to head out. Melanie will stop by her room tomorrow before setting out. She has to bring their clothes. She was worried about Becca freezing to death, but fortunately, they managed to request a pair of blanket and pillow. Now she only has to pray for that nothing else will happen.

Tyler adjusted the little boy’s position on his arms. He was slipping for a bit. Kai stirred, so to avoid making him wake up, he begun patting his back. He has no idea what he is doing. He never had taken care of any children ever. He just knows that rocking and patting them lightly will help them fall asleep. He doesn’t know if it works to a five-year-old kid though. Luckily, Kai went back to sleep, snuggling on the crook of his neck.

Feeling that the child’s body relax against his, like he was familiar to him and comfortable, Tyler can’t help but draw a smile on his face. He was glad that he wasn’t rejecting him. He thought that he will be like his mother, a polite one but despise him. He was even shocked when he accepted that he has to stay with him for a while. Tyler thought that he will reject the idea, but Kai did not even throw a fit.

Although it’s unexpected and he did not even plan it, he was glad that they will entrust Althea’s son to him. He also dislikes the idea of just entrusting him to anyone. It’s better to look after him himself.

“It’s okay,” Victoria was the one who answered Melanie’s worry. She gracefully flicked her hand on the air to let her know that she’s not even bothered. “Don’t worry about it. I’m pretty sure…” She briefly glanced at her own son and smirk at him before looking back at Melanie with a sweet and innocent expression. “My son will ‘thoroughly’ take care of him. You see, he really, really, likes children.”

“…” Tyler had nothing to say about her exaggeration. He sighed deeply before reassuring her again. “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

Melanie tried to find a hint of discomfort or any sign of being forced but there was none. Heaving a sigh of relieve, she finally smiled. “If you say so. I’ll thank you on behalf of Althea, you have done so much for her.”

Victoria chuckled, thinking of something not and at the same time, vicious. She waved her hand. “Don’t think deeply about it. We are just laying the foundation.”
