Erika walked out of the study with the phone. Then she dialed Lukas’s number from memory.
The call was answered before long, and a familiar and gentle voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, who’s that?"
"It’s me, Lukas!" Erika said at once, "It’s me, Erika. I’ve been taken back to someone else’s house by mistake. Come and pick me up."
"Erika?" Lukas frowned in confusion. "Aren’t you in the operating room?"
What?
Erika blinked and caught on immediately. She wasn’t in the operating room, while that little girl who was mistaken for her was in the operating room.
That would make everything easier. As long as Erika went to the hospital, everything would get back on track.
Then Erika asked Lukas about the name of the hospital. After she got the answer, she hung up the phone.
"Handsome daddy!" Hands on her stomach, Erika ran back to the study with a grimace. "My tummy hurts. I need to go to hospital now. Can you take me there?"
Sebastian cast a look at her and snapped his fingers with an expressionless face.
The next moment, a family doctor in a white coat showed up at the door of the study and called respectfully, "Mr. Grant."
"Come and check on her." Sebastian raised his chin at Erika.
The family doctor walked up to Erika with a medicine box.
Erika’s heart skipped a beat. She never expected a family doctor to turn up so quickly in a wealthy family.
But if she got well at home, how would she go to hospital?
Just as the family doctor was still in puzzlement, Sebastian said in a low voice, "Excuse me." Then he picked up the little girl on the ground and walked outside.
Sebastian was a tall man, and he would almost bang his head on the door-frame. Now that he was holding Erika against his shoulder, she ducked her head immediately and held his neck in a hurry.
The two looked very close.
"What are you doing?" Erika asked warily.
Sebastian kept walking downstairs and growled, "Don’t you want to go to hospital?"
"Great!" Erika beamed a smile at once. "Let’s go to the St Mary's Hospital. You’re so good to me, daddy. You’re so handsome, daddy. You’re the most powerful man in the world!"
The family doctor couldn’t help but think to himself, "Didn’t you call him 'bad dad' a while ago? Why do you suddenly suck up to him?"
