He looked to Calvin.
Calvin nodded, "Just do what daddy says, this competition will help Mommy's career and I don't want Mommy to give up on it because of us."
He knew Mommy.
If Mommy knew something like this happened to him and Arya, she would have given up the competition and come running back immediately.
Stanley rubbed Calvin's head, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Fraser answered and turned to leave.
"Dad, am I useless?" Suddenly, Calvin asked in a depressed mood.
Stanley looked at him, "Why would you say that?"
"I promised Mommy before that I would protect Arya well, but I didn't." Calvin's eyes reddened and he sobbed.
Stanley said with a gentle brow, "No, you did it and you did it well, you worked hard to protect Arya, didn't you? It was only because of your physical condition that you couldn't stop it, but you are already great."
"Really?" Calvin looked at him with teary eyes.
"Really."
Not only did Stanley nod, but Bella nodded as well, "Of course it's true, Calvin is great."
Calvin finally broke into a smile, "But I still can't do anything to protect Arya."
"Then try to get stronger and grow up faster." Stanley said as he stood up.
Those words were like a spark that ignited in Calvin's heart.
He squeezed his little fist and took a deep breath, his childish little face filled with determination, "Okay, I must grow up quickly and become stronger, Daddy, I want to learn sparring."
He wanted to learn this so that he could better protect Arya.
Even if he met an adult, he could use his skills to break his opponent instead of being powerless, like this time.
"Ok." Stanley nodded and agreed, "I'll arrange a teacher for you when Arya is well."
"Thank you, Dad." Calvin said gratefully.
Stanley smiled.
At that moment, the operating room opened and a nurse came out of it.
Bella stopped her in a hurry, "Nurse, how's the girl in there?"
The nurse looked at them and responded, "She has a broken arm and a lot of blood from a ruptured scalp, the arm has now been corrected and the head wound has been stitched up, but it needs blood transfusion, except that the child has RH negative blood. I'm about to go to the blood bank now to see if there's any of that blood."
"No need, take mine." Stanley said immediately.
He was of the RH negative blood. He had wanted to give Calvin transfusion when he was in the car accident.
But it was stopped by Violet, who chose Ivan in the end.
But now was not the time to be jealous, and Stanley took off his jacket and tossed it to Bella, unbuttoning the cufflinks of his shirt and pulling the sleeves up to reveal his sturdy arms.
The nurse saw that he was ready to draw blood, so naturally she couldn't refuse, but just in case, she asked, "What is the relationship between you and the child inside? If it's a parent-child relationship, you can't donate blood."
"I am her stepfather." Stanley replied in a deep voice.
The nurse was surprised, "Stepfather and daughter with the same blood type, so you're really related, come with me."
"Take good care of Calvin, I'll go first." Stanley said to Bella before following the nurse.
About ten minutes later, Stanley returned holding down a cotton swab, his face pale, and at a glance, a lot of blood had been drawn.
"Mr. Murphy, are you okay?" Bella helped him to sit down in a chair, which was next to Calvin.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy." Stanley shook his head, his voice hoarse as he answered.
Calvin looked at him and remembered something, pulling two candies out of his pocket and handing them over, "Here, Dad."
Stanley looked at the two candies and raised his eyebrows.
Calvin's eyes were bleak, "I put them in my pocket so that I can coax Arya, but Arya ......"
"Don't worry, Arya will be fine." Stanley stroked his head, then took the two candies and unwrapped them, eating one and giving the other to Calvin.
The two ate their candy and slowly calmed down.
Just then, Stanley's cell phone rang.
