Jack was disappointed. He didn’t go to sleep obediently. Instead, he went downstairs to pour a glass of milk for Alice.
“Mommy.”
Alice smelled the fragrance of milk. She realized that Jack had sent her a cup of milk. She paused and then looked up at him. She found that he was staring at her eagerly at this time.
It seemed that Jack was lonely and he needed Alice to accompany him.
Alice had been busy with her works these days. She didn’t go to sleep until midnight. After getting up, she continued her works. She had ignored Jack’s feelings.
Thought of this, Alice felt guilty.
She didn’t take the cup. Instead, she saved the files and turned off the computer instantly. She looked at Jack and then she received the cup in his hand. She said, “I’m sorry, Jack. I have been busy these days and ignored you. I’m so sorry.”
Then she held Jack in her arms tightly.
Jack wrapped his hands around her neck and whispered, “Mommy, it doesn’t matter. I know you are busy. I won’t mind it.”
“But I care about your feelings. I should have thought of it earlier. I won’t work at night and I will spend more time with you.”
Although Jack said that he didn’t mind her ignorance, his eyes lit up when he heard Alice’s words. After all, he was a child. Children always needed the company of their parents.
He didn’t have a father. She must give him more love.
Alice handed him the milk and said, “I don’t need to drink milk. Since you poured it, you can drink it.”
Jack blinked and replied, “Mommy, I poured it for you.”
Because the milk was poured by himself, Alice didn’t want to reject him and she said, “Okay, I’ll drink it.”
After Alice finished drinking the milk, she returned to the bed with Jack in her arms. She said, “I won’t work tonight. Jack, do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?”
He nodded and said, “Okay, mommy, what is the story?”
“Well, let me think about it. I’ll tell you…”
“Once upon a time...”

The next day.
In the hospital.
When Annie sent porridge to Kennedy, she found that he had gotten all his things packed and he was about to put on his shoes.
“What are you doing?” Her face suddenly changed. Then she came to put porridge on the table.
Kennedy raised his eyes and glanced at her. He replied, “You’ve seen it.”
“Do you want to discharge yourself from the hospital?” Annie asked, “Have you finished your discharging formalities?”
At this time, Nathan, who had finished the discharge formalities, came back to the ward. When he saw Annie, he greeted her respectfully: “Miss Porter.”
Annie turned to look back at him and asked, “Did you go to go through the discharge formalities?”
Nathan paused, then he nodded and said, “Mr. Moore said he was fine, so I…”
“Then you believe his words?” Annie grabbed the medical document in his hand, and then stared at Kennedy. “Why do you decide it all by yourself? You just had a car accident. You can’t discharge from the hospital now.
Then Kennedy frowned unhappily and said coldly, “Even if it was a car accident, I was not seriously injured. It was an ordinary injury. I’m fine now.”
Annie was speechless.
