The minute when Ezra went out of Julian's place, he was called away by Roman, who of course aimed at the child.
Ezra was barely in the ward when Roman asked earnestly, "How's it going? Has Maisie agreed?"
Ezra answered in a casual tone, "I don't know. I didn't ask her."
His father was so enraged that he inhaled several times to ease his anger and asked, "Then do you have any photo or video of my grandson? Let me see him."
Ezra said, "No. I didn't take any."
Roman couldn't help raising his voice, "Why? Why? You know I love the child. You are deliberately hindering me!"
He was so angry. The only photos Roman had at hand were sent by some anonymous account. God knew how eager he was to see the child in person. If it was not for his poor health, Roman would have flown to Grafstin a long time ago.
And Ezra spent several days in Grafstin, which meant he could have taken some photos so that his eagerness could be soothed.
But Ezra didn't. He didn't take any. Roman felt his anger was burning him to hell.
Ezra explained calmly, "I'm not used to taking photos."
Actually, Ezra had abundant videos and photos of the child. But showing them to his father was not something he wanted to do. If the child was a girl, who knew whether he would still be so eager?
Moreover, whenever he thought of the accident arranged by his father, Ezra felt his hatred toward Roman growing more than ever.
Now that Ezra had developed certain feelings for Maisie, it became even more unbearable for Ezra. How could he grant his father's wishes?
Roman said peremptorily, "Then you can video chat with her now. Let me see the child."
Ezra spread his hands, "I'm on the blacklist."
It was true that Ezra had once been on the blacklist, but Maisie had moved him out. He was deliberately lying to Roman.
Roman, feeling a huge wave of anger washing over him, scolded, "What have you done? How come you guys are not coming along? How should we bring up the kid thing to her?"
Ezra stood there in a desultory manner, completely ignoring his father.
Roman clenched his teeth, "If you cannot bring the kid back, I will do it myself."
Ezra raised his head up and glared at him.
"Then I'm going to make it clear today. If you dare to lay your hands on them, I will be the first to pull your oxygen tube out."
Actually, there were some worse things he did not utter, but his eyes had betrayed what was going on in his mind.
Roman certainly felt the hostility that was making him trembling all over. He wagged his finger at him but could not utter a word for quite a while.
