Before Sidney peeled the sugar paper, a hand quickly grabbed the sugar in his hand, then Samuel's voice rang.
“Rebecca have secretly given you sugar.” He said.
Sidney's dark eyes fell to Samuel's hand with the sugar. He pouted, turned his head and said nothing.
Hmmm, he was angry.
He didn’t like Daddy anymore.
Samuel looked at Rebecca who was with begging vision. He felt it was funny and gave him the sugar back and said, “For the sake of Rebecca, you can have the last one.”
Sidney immediately took it over with a smile, stuffed it into mouth and said holding Rebecca, “Thank you, sister.”
Rebecca dottingly touched Sidney's head, and there was a smile on her pale little face.
At that moment, she looked like Matilda who bowed her head and smiled.
Samuel caught his breath.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Samuel got back to his senses and looked at his watch with doubt. The time for the doctors and nurses to check had not yet come, and no one in B City would know this ward. He recalled Laney’s twisted face when she was in the top floor of the hospital one year ago, and he became alert.
He motioned to Rebecca to pull Sidney to stand a little farther away and opened the door himself.
It was Aaron.
Samuel’s eyes darkened and then changed.
Behind Aaron stood Matilda.
Matilda did not look at Samuel, but pushed Samuel who was stiff away. Her eyes became bright when she saw Rebecca.
“Rebecca!” She pushed Samuel and hugged Rebecca.
Then Aaron stepped into the ward, but Samuel still kept the posture of opening the door motionless and his eyes got watery.
Over there Rebecca began to teach Sidney to call her Mommy. Samuel came back to sense, cleared his throat and said pretending nothing had happened, “Long time no see.”
As if she had not heard it, Matilda took out one by one the presents she had bought for her two children.
It was Aaron came over and said softly, “I didn't expect we would meet again.”
At this time, Samuel raised his eyes to see this man tall as he but had different temperament and said , “When you took Matilda away, I swore I would beat you when I see you.”
As soon as the words fell, a punch came up. Aaron failed to avoid it and got punched.
“What are you doing?” Matilda talking with Rebecca hurriedly stopped in front of two people, lowered her head to see the injury of Aaron.
Samuel was angry at that and he pointed to Aaron, “You still protect him! You know when --”
There was a lump in his throat and he couldn't speak.
Matilda checked Aaron to make sure that it was just a flesh wound before casually lifting up her eyelids and looking at Samuel. “What? I am here to see Rebecca not you.”
It was like a basin of cold water poured down, Samuel's heart was tight and painful.
For a long time, Matilda sat on the chair in daze.
So, was he depressed?
The match type was successful. When Matilda and the doctor was discussing the operation time, she was suddenly pulled by a force, interrupting her conversation with the doctor.
“What are you doing?” Matilda tried to throw Samuel's hand away, but he pressed her against the wall and she could only stare at him angrily.
Samuel's face was as cold as frost. He approached her and said, “You are still a patient. What are you doing?”
Matilda took a deep breath and said, “Let go of me. There are many people in the office.”
Samuel let go of her slightly and said to the doctors in the office, “I'm sorry, my wife is making a fool of herself. I'll communicate with her about the operation.”
Then regardless of Matilda's refusal, he took her hand and went out.
The doctors were confused. Samuel's wife? Didn't she die when she gave birth? What happened?
At this time, Matilda was pulled to the end of the hospital corridor.
“Let me go!” Matilda finally shook off his hand and stood still.
“Just say what you want to say, if you have nothing to say, I'll sign the agreement.” She said coldly.
Samuel let go of her hand, held her face and kissed it hard.
“Samuel, you are crazy.” Mercifully she slapped in his face. Samuel did not avoid it, but caught her lips, twittering, “Yes, I am crazy, I get crazy for missing you.”
