Chapter 486
Once they reached the restaurant, Olivia pushed the menu up to him and asked, “Order whatever you want.”
He glanced down. “Just order the cheapest ones, Lady. I can eat anything.”
With that said, he looked down sheepishly. His ears reddened slightly as he looked a little reserved.
Scared that he did not understand the menu, Olivia did not pursue it. She turned to look at the waiter. “Seafood pasta, steak, fries, beef burger, and cola.”
The waiter nodded, poured a glass of water for both of them, and turned away.
“You needn’t be so reserved. I’m not a bad person.” With that said, Olivia clicked on Lyla’s photo and showed it to him. “Look, I have a daughter. Isn’t she cute?”
He nodded dully, looking out of the window from time to time.
Olivia then remembered that she seemed to have kidnapped someone’s child.
“Are you
afraid your family won’t be able to find you? Do you have your mom’s or your dad’s number?”
He shook his head.
“Who did you come to the hospital with? Are you here to visit your family? Or are you here to see a doctor?”
Olivia thought the child was thin. His long hair covered his forehead, obscuring his gaze from her.
There was a momentary pause before he finally spoke.
“My uncle is ill and hospitalized.”
“Where are your parents?”
“No.”
Olivia froze. “No?”
“Yes, I have no mother.”
Olivia felt a tightness in her chest as if she could not breathe.
Seeing that she looked ill, he asked cautiously, “Lady, are you okay? Are you sick too?”
