She should not have run away.
She blamed herself and felt guilty, she strode across the mess and quickly followed Solomon. Then, she lifted him from the ground.
She could feel his soft body but it was scary cold.
Eloise realized that the air-conditioner was set at a low temperature.
Hector also realized that and turned off the air-conditioner instantly.
Eloise hugged Solomon and sat on the bed. She checked whether his body was hurt while got the blanket and wrapped his body.
Solomon did not move and allowed Eloise to turn him from side to side.
After everything was settled, Eloise squatted down in front of him and caressed his face with her hand.
“Dear, are you ok? Do you recognize me? I am Miss Eloise.”
Solomon did not talk. His eyelash, however, fluttered a few times to make a response.
Eloise could not help but to be nervous, she lifted him to sit on her leg and said, “What happened to you? Can you tell me?”
Solomon opened his eyes big and looked at her. After a while, his eyes reddened suddenly.
After Eloise saw it, she became nervous, “Why do you cry? Is it because I left you alone in the restaurant and ran away so you feel sad? I apologize to you.”
Solomon pouted, buried himself in Eloise’s arms and started to cry.
Eloise was shocked, she hugged him in a hurry and coaxed him gently, “Don’t cry, I’m sorry, sorry.”
Hector looked at them silently at the side and did not stop them. However, he was as if deep in thought when he looked at Solomon.
He still had some understanding of his own son.
Although he was sometimes naughty, he would not make trouble out of anything. He must have some reasons behind that he behaved unreasonably on that night.
When he went to see Eloise, his son behaved normally at that time. Then the problem must be triggered around the time when Hector brought him back.
When Eloise coaxed Solomon, Hector straight away opened the door and went out.
Rupert and Jensen waited outside, when they saw Hector, they asked instantly, “How? Does Solomon get hurt? Do you want to call a doctor?”
Hector simply closed the door and left Eloise and Solomon inside, said, “Don’t worry, nothing happened.”
Rupert was in a relief, he could finally stop worrying. Then, he heard his brother’s question, “Have you talked anything to Solomon when you came back tonight?”
Rupert stunned, “Huh? Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”
“Think carefully before you answer me.”
Hector alerted him.
Rupert worried again and said carefully, “I…I didn’t say anything. After you left, I brought Solomon back and spoke only a few sentences to him.”
“What have you spoken?” Hector asked.
Rupert frowned and recalled, “Nothing much, I just asked him what happened. Then, Solomon told me that Miss Thompson ran away. After that, I said, huh? She doesn’t want you anymore. Does your dad go and search for her…?”
When Rupert spoke that sentence, he stopped suddenly, he seemed like realized something and started to sweat.
Jensen glanced at him coldly and said, “We have been busy with it for the whole day, in fact, the problem is on you!”
Hector narrowed his eyes, stared at his brother with scary sights.
Rupert was shocked, quickly explained, “Brother, I don’t do it purposely, I just simply say at the time. I…I don’t expect that it affects Solomon so much…”
Hector kicked him relentlessly and reprimanded him, “Get lose and kneel in front of our ancestor. You are not allowed to get up before the dawn comes.”
After saying that, he did not let his brother argue anymore and entered the room.
Rupert rushed towards him, “Brother…” but Hector did not bother him.
