Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 297

Slowly, Stanley narrowed his eyes as he looked at the little boy in front of him. What a protective child! Even though his childish voice didn't have much of a threat, it was still very nice of him to have the intention of protecting his sister.

Meanwhile, when Sadie saw it was her brother, she was overjoyed and asked, "Seamus, where is mom?"

However, the little boy glared at her. "You still remember your mother? She has been searching high and low for you, and she almost called the police to ask Uncle Han to come over!"

When the little girl heard her brother, she shrugged her shoulders and uttered, "I... I didn't mean to hide. Seamus, don't be angry..."

With her timid voice and teary eyes, the little girl seemed to be very pitiful. When the little boy saw that, he held back her anger. Then, he took the little girl's hand and said to her, "Then come with me, or Mommy will be anxious!"

"No, I don't want to go back..." Instantly, the little girl shook his hand away. "Seamus, the medicine tastes bitter. I don't want to go back." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Pft..."

The moment the assistant who stood at the side heard her words, he suddenly laughed. Only then did he understand why the little girl was here alone. It turned out that she was afraid of taking medicine, so she secretly went away to hide and somehow bumped into Mr. Warner.

For a moment, he really thought that she was Mr. Warner's illegitimate daughter!

Instantly, the little boy looked up and glared at him. "Why are you laughing?"

With dark and deep eyes, he was glaring at the assistant. Although the little boy was only around the age of three, when he stared at people with a stern face like that, he still looked a bit dignified. At that moment, the assistant took a step back, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything.

As an adult, he shouldn't try to pick a fight with a child.

After the little boy snorted, he took the little girl's hand and wanted to leave. "Sadie, don't be disobedient. Mommy almost cried when she was trying to look for you."

When the little girl heard that her mother was crying, she panicked. But when she remembered that she had to go back and take her medicine, she was so timid that she refused to leave, so she stood frozen for a while. At that moment, she did not know whether or not she should return, and she was confused. Finally, as if she figured something out, she turned and threw herself into the arms of Stanley and cried loudly, "Daddy, I don't want to take medicine. It is too bitter!"

Instantly, the little girl fell into his arms and cried her heart out. With a sigh, Stanley raised his hand to caress her head gently and said, "Okay. Your mother won't force you."

Once the little girl heard his words, she stopped crying and smiled. As soon as she broke away from his arms, she went to grab her brother's hand and said, "Seamus, let's go tell mom that Daddy is back."

When the little boy heard his sister's words, he raised his head to look at Stanley's face. Just now, he had been so focused on his sister that he didn't even notice anyone else. But now, he realized that his sister was hugging a stranger and addressing him as their father...

As far as he knew, their father had gone somewhere else a few years ago, and their mother had been looking for him since then, but she couldn't find him...

Earlier, he thought it was a bad guy who was trying to kidnap his sister. However, when he looked up and saw Stanley's face, his eyes lit up. Still a little uncertain, he asked, "Are you really our father?"

This stranger looked the same as their father in the photo that their mother showed them.

That question made Stanley raise his eyebrows slightly. At first, the little girl had mistaken him for their father, but now her brother was also acting the same?

But this little boy seemed to be much more mature and sensible than this little girl, and he didn't look like a child who would get the wrong person.

Could it be that... he really looked like their father?

After a moment of silence, Stanley lowered his head and looked at the two children, "Where are your parents?"

Just as the little girl was about to open her mouth to answer Stanley, the little boy pulled her over to him and looked at Stanley suspiciously, "Why should I tell you?"

The little boy was quite vigilant.

The corners of Stanley's lips curled up as he said, "Didn't you both said that I look like your father? Well, let me bring you back and hand you over to your mother. That way, I'll be more at ease."

Besides, the hospital was huge, and what if the two of them went back alone and got lost again?

Meanwhile, the little girl seemed very happy. "Okay, Daddy. I'm sure Mommy would be very happy to see you. You know, there were several times when I woke up at night and saw her secretly crying while she was holding your photo..." At the end of her words, her face turned sullen, as if she thought of something sad.

When Stanley heard her words, his gaze moved as he squatted down in front of the little girl and asked curiously, "Okay, tell me, what is your mother's name?"

Just as the little boy was about to stop her, she said loudly like she was presenting a treasure, "I know, my mother's name is Sharon Cruz, and I even know her cell phone number!"

Wait... so it really was her?

A look of surprise flashed across Stanley's eyes.

Instantly, the little boy educated his sister with a straight face. "Mother had told us so many times not to talk to strangers, and don't tell her number to strangers!"

"But, Daddy is not a stranger..." Innocently, she blinked her big eyes.

"He's not our father! He's just a man that looks like our father. Don't call him that!"

"Seamus, you are lying. This is Daddy!"

"Seamus! Sadie!"

The brother and sister duo were in a dispute when an anxious shout came from a distance.

Immediately, the little boy recognized the voice, and his eyes lit up. "Mommy is here."

However, the little girl suddenly thought of something and hid behind her brother as she was afraid. "If mommy knew that I went to hide because I refused to take medicine, she will definitely be mad at me. Seamus, I'm scared..."

"So now you're afraid?"

When Sharon walked to them and heard her daughter's words, the anger she had was gone. Then, she squatted down and got hold of Sadie, who was hiding behind her brother, and checked her from head to toe. When she saw that Sadie was fine, her heart was finally at ease.

At the same time, her face darkened. "Who taught you to sneak out and hide alone?

Sadie, are you trying to piss me off?"

It was the first time Sadie had ever seen her mother lose her temper like this. Although she lowered her eyes and wanted to cry, she didn't dare to do so. With her mouth pouted, she looked extremely pitiful.

Usually, Sharon would let her daughter go whenever she saw her pitiful face, but today, she almost worried to death. In fact, she had searched all the wards in the hospital, and she almost called the police while she was looking for her like a mad person. Unexpectedly, the little girl was hiding here.

The older brother had always doted on his little sister, so when he saw her red eyes, he stood up and said, "Mommy, Sadie didn't do it on purpose, so don't be angry with her. She's still having a cold."

However, this time, Sharon was truly scarred by Sadie's actions, so she pursed her lips tight and put on a serious look.

If she forgave Sadie so quickly, she knew for sure that this little girl would not remember her lesson. Who knew what she would do next time to scare her.

Just as Sharon intended to educate her, a deep male voice sounded above her head, "The child is still young. Don't scare her."

The voice was too familiar. In fact, it was so familiar that Sharon felt like she must have been hallucinating. Otherwise, why would Stanley's voice be here?

Slowly, she raised her head, and her gaze met a pair of dark and deep eyes. Immediately, Sharon stood up from the ground and pointed at the man in front of her, and stammered, "Why... Why are you here?"
