Gabrielle suddenly felt sympathy for Tim.
Other people thought that Tim was apathetic, but no one knew that his affection for Nicole was so deep and insistent. However, in the end, Nicole didn't belong to him, and he was destined to end up lonely.
"Tim, you..."
"I agree. I'll go find Samuel."
Tim suddenly spoke.
Gabrielle knew that it was not easy for Tim to make such a decision.
"Think it over. It is..."
"I know. I'll go check on Nicole now. Don't tell her. She will know when Samuel returns."
After Tim finished speaking, he directly walked out.
Gabrielle looked at his back and sighed.
When Tim arrived at Nicole's room, Joseph was sitting quietly by the side of the bed, staring at Nicole, afraid that he would miss something.
Tim touched Joseph's head and said, "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."
"Really?"
Joseph raised his head and looked at Tim. He said worriedly, "You adults always like to lie to us children, thinking that we don't understand anything, but in fact, we know it all. Zoe doesn't really believe Mommy is just tired. She is just trying to make you feel at ease by pretending to be ignorant. Me too. I can see that Mommy doesn't seem to be in good shape. Are you all lying to us?"
"Nonsense!"
Tim patted Joseph's shoulder. Under Joseph's innocent gaze, Tim couldn't keep up the grinning.
"Your mommy is not well. That's true."
"Can you tell me what happened to her? Will my mommy die?"
Joseph had experienced the death of his own mother, so he was very sensitive to the word death. When Joseph said it, his voice was trembling.
Apart from Nicole, Tim thought he never cared about anyone else. But now, he actually felt a bit empathy for Joseph.
"No. Your mommy will enjoy a long life. However, there are some problems with her health. Don't worry, I'll make your mommy get better."
Somehow Joseph believed what Tim said.
"If Mommy really gets better, I'll take you as my teacher. Lucas once told me that a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. I will see you as if you were my daddy."
Tim didn't know how to react to Joseph's words.
However, Tim was not so against having another son. Tim knew that perhaps there was no hope of getting married in his lifetime, or he might not have his own children, so the more Tim looked at Joseph, the more he liked Joseph.
"Then you can't go back on your word! Although I'm a kid, don't fool me."
"I'm not fooling you. Let's pinkie promise!"
Joseph stretched out his pinkie, looking serious.
Tim hadn't done such a childish thing for so many years. He laughed, but he still extended his pinkie and hooked it tightly with Joseph.
"I promise. I will make sure your mommy gets better. As long as she is happy and healthy, I'm satisfied."
Joseph didn't quite follow Tim, but he could tell that it was for Mommy's good. Joseph smiled and said, "I'm waiting to be your student."
"Good boy! Now go accompany Zoe. I want to be alone with your mommy for a while. Is that OK?"
He actually asked for the opinion of a child and Tim himself also felt that it was strange. But Joseph could be considered as his kin son, so it made sense.
Joseph hesitated, but he still nodded and said, "If Mommy wakes up, you have to call me."
"Got it. Hurry up and go. I'll whisper sweet nothings to your mommy."
Joseph frowned slightly.
"It was Uncle Samuel and mommy who said those sweet words. You can't swoop in while Uncle Samuel is away."

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
