Alistair smacked his lips and drooled while staring at the roast duck.
"Okay!"
Anthony calmly wrapped the roast duck, his tone mixed with indulgence.
Mavis was fed throughout the entire process.
She wanted to do it herself, but the father and son didn't give her a chance. But surprisingly, it felt quite comfortable not having to do anything for meals.
After having a satisfying meal and drinks, she felt guilty and wanted to go next door to check on Moore. However, the little guy seemed to have guessed her intentions and stopped her directly.
"Mommy, I also prepared green tea. Great-grandmother said that a cup of tea after meal can help remove oil."
Without giving her any time to react, Alistair had already led her to sit on the nearby small sofa.
As she was sipping tea and feeling the warm sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, it was a rare and pleasant afternoon.
Remembering something, Mavis set down her teacup and casually said, "On my way to the hospital cafeteria at noon, I saw Bryleigh."
At the sound, Anthony on the sickbed turned his head and gave her a sidelong glance, which meant he was asking a question.
Mavis continued, "I originally thought she came to visit you since she is your ex-girlfriend after all. It's only natural for her to visit you in the hospital. But what's strange is that it seems like she came to visit Moore instead."
Anthony suddenly frowned and his expression turned serious. "Did you see her in Moore's ward?" he asked.
"No, it's just that I smelled the scent that belongs to Bryleigh in Moore's ward," she thought for a moment and then shook her head, "It must be my imagination. After all, the two rooms are so close together and she probably came to see you. After all, she has feelings for you, right?"
Anthony's handsome face was solemn, and he remained silent.
Whether Bryleigh liked him or not, he knew it best in his heart.
That woman only loved money, was materialistic and vain. She only wanted to be with him in the first place because her family was facing a serious financial crisis and she hoped to get help from the Callahan family.
She was warned by him last time and had been behaving herself for a while, not appearing in front of him to cause trouble. How could she suddenly come to the hospital and appear in Moore's ward?
Anthony was lost in thought, carefully considering the matter at hand. He then picked up his phone from the bedside table and sent a message to Chad.
Mavis looked at him from a distance and saw that he didn't refute her words. She thought she had hit the nail on the head and Bryleigh was indeed here to visit him.
"The doctor said that Moore is going to have a check-up this afternoon. I'll go and see him."
As she was about to get up, a little hand next to her grabbed her arm and Alistair said, "Mommy, can you spend more time with Daddy? I think he is so poor."
Alistair took the opportunity to please his father.
Mavis's mouth twitched.
Poor Anthony?
Not really.
With billions of dollars, a life of luxury, no worries about food or clothing, and respected and liked by others, if he were a widower, he would definitely be a hot commodity. There was nothing poor about him.
Mavis didn't believe that this word could be used to describe Anthony at all.
"My dear Alistair, you can't use 'poor' like that."
"Oh right. Daddy is fine. Daddy just almost had a heart attack and died. Daddy is okay though! Right Daddy?"
Anthony furrowed his brow tightly and clutched his chest as if suddenly struck by pain too unbearable to bear.
"Don't pretend." Mavis ruthlessly exposed him.
"Mommy look! Daddy really hurts! If you don't care about him and go see Uncle Moore instead, Daddy will hurt even more!"
Alistair tried to reason with her with righteousness but ended up sounding unreasonable himself.
