After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099 Feigning Illness is Deception

Mavis, who was once again criticized, couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a glare.

He averted his gaze, his breath cold and did not meet her eyes.

Both of them seemed to be awkward, but they didn't know what was making each other feel awkward.

The freshly peeled oranges were cleaned thoroughly, even the orange fibers were removed.

Mavis got up and stuffed the peeled orange into his hand, then picked up a chair and sat far away, casually picking up a book to read.

It was obvious that she was reluctantly guarding him.

Full of impatience, all expressed in silence.

She would rather read a book to pass the time than find a topic to chat with Anthony.

The atmosphere in the ward was eerie and extremely oppressive.

Anthony remained silent and stopped nitpicking. He picked up a piece of orange and savored it in his mouth.

The orange was very sweet, but his expression was unpleasant and gloomy.

Kane stood by for a while, feeling suffocated by the damn atmosphere. He quickly found an excuse to slip away, leaving his iPad and laptop for Anthony to handle work when he was bored.

For a whole afternoon, no one spoke in the ward, breaking the silence.

Until 8 pm, the Callahan family's driver brought Alistair.

Little Alistair's bouncing and jumping made the entire ward feel different as soon as he entered.

There was a new light in Mavis's eyes as she hugged and kissed her precious son, rubbing his little face.

Alistair pouted and whined, "Mommy, if you keep pinching my cheeks like this, my face will become as round as a peach."

Mavis couldn't help but smile, "Peach is adorable and it suits you very well."

Without Paloma, Anthony completely withdrew from their conversation, which allowed the mother and son to have a rare moment of laughter and playfulness.

After Alistair and Mavis had enough conversation, Mavis left the ward and went to talk to the nurse about dispensing medicine at night.

The little one climbed onto the hospital bed and moved over to sit next to Anthony's left leg, which was in a cast.

Tap it with his little hand and pinch it, with a curious yet fearful expression on the face.

"Daddy, is this an injury from falling? Does it hurt?"

He was terrified in his heart. The trauma of falling from the rooftop was still there. He always dreamed that he broke a bone when he fell, and his whole body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, and his hands and feet were put in plaster, so he couldn't move.

It was really scary. Just thinking about it made him shiver all over.

Anthony could see that his face was pale, which showed he was really frightened by the plaster leg, and directly in front of him, his left leg moved in the air.

"Not painful."

Alistair widened his eyes in shock.

When he came over, Paloma told him to be careful not to touch Anthony's injured leg, so as not to worsen the injury.

But Anthony not only looked good, his leg seemed to be able to move well too.

Alistair wasn't stupid and quickly figured it out. "I know. You're naughty! You're faking it!"

Anthony put a finger to his lips, motioning for Alistair to be quiet.

Alistair pouted and couldn't understand. "Daddy, you said that faking an illness is the same as lying and can make loved ones worry unnecessarily. I missed my taekwondo class because I faked a stomach ache before, and you almost spanked me for it. Why can you do something that I can't? It's not fair at all."

It was unfair; very unfair indeed.

If daddy made a mistake, he should also get punished.

The more Alistair thought about it, the angrier he got. He stood with hands on hips and declared indignantly, "Hmph! I will go tell mommy and great-grandma!"

"Waaah!"

Anthony stood up quickly and moved fast towards him. Before Alistair could react, Anthony had grabbed him by the earlobe.

Although it didn't hurt much, the force behind it was intimidating enough to scare him into submission.
