Eight Kickass Uncle Sweet Spoil novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Will She Be Abandoned Again?

Andrew asked around, but none of the hospital staff seemed to know what was going on.

The Bishops were shivering in the cold, and the Murray family refused to see them. They felt extremely affronted.

Christine was the first to slip away. “I’m going to go visit Stacy…”

Stacy was also at this hospital, but in a separate wing for obstetric care.

Andrew and Jay couldn’t stand the cold either, but they didn’t dare to leave, so they could only stand in the hallway and wait…

Internally, both of them were complaining endlessly. Little did they know that this was only the beginning of their punishment!

Susie’s ears rang with the sound of machines beeping intermittently. She could distantly hear someone speaking, as if she were underwater.

But there was one voice she could hear very clearly-

[Susie, Susie… Hey, Susie!]

[Wake up, huh? If you don’t wake up, I’ll…]

This voice made a buzzing sensation in her ears as it spoke, and Susie felt like a swarm of bees was bustling around inside her eardrums. The noise was a little overwhelming.

Who was this strange voice?

Susie’s eyelashes fluttered, and she gradually opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the blank white wall of the hospital room.

The second thing she saw was a group of people gathered around her bed. Susie pursed her lips and looked around slowly.

Ryan was the most excited, and he was the first to speak. “Susie, you’ re awake! It’s me, your uncle Ryan…”

The rest of the Murray family didn’t dare to breathe. They all looked at Susie anxiously.

Susie’s head was spinning. “U- Uncle?”

There was no expression on her delicate little face. She looked numb, like a fragile porcelain doll. She sounded more like a parrot repeating back a phrase than a young girl reuniting with her long-lost uncle.

Craig’s mouth flattened into a straight line. Susie was very thin, and she looked tiny lying there in the big hospital bed.

Looking at her was so painful, he could hardly breathe.

Ryan forced himself to lower his voice and slow down. He said softly, “Susie, I’m your mom’s big brother. My name is Ryan Murray. You called me on the phone before, remember?”

Susie’s eyelashes trembled. After a long time, she finally hummed and

nodded slightly

She remembered…

She had called and called her uncle. But he had ignored her.

Didn’t he want her?

“Are you… Are you here to pick me up?” Susie asked quietly.

The big, burly men surrounding her hospital bed all nodded eagerly. Paul said, “Susie, I’m your second uncle, and we’re here to take you

home.”

Craig had a lump in his throat. He took a deep breath before saying, “Yes, take Susie home. In the future, we won’t let anyone bully you,

Susie. Anyone who lays a finger on you will have to answer to me.”

Susie looked around in confusion.

Home?

Susie wasn’t sure if she could trust them. Would these men just abandon her after taking her home?

Would they beat her? Would they starve her?

Seeing Susie’s quiet response, her uncles were worried. Most of them didn’t have any experience with children, so they all looked to Martin

and David, the oldest and second-oldest brothers. Martin was 40 years. old and David was 38, and they each had two children.

But although he was a father, Martin wasn’t sure how to deal with a situation like this. He hesitated and said, “Susie, do you have a problem with this arrangement?”

His voice was as curt and businesslike as usual, and the other brothers glared at him after he had finished speaking.
