When Ann returned to the apartment with Nikki in her arms, Nikki was already asleep.
After crying all the way, Nikki's eyes and nose were red, and her face was full of tears. Even in her sleep, she was still sobbing, and her little body trembled.
Ann couldn't bear it, but she was helpless.
Phillip would never be Mo Nikki's daddy, nor could he be.
Ann placed Nikki on the bed and helped her take off her dirty clothes. She took a wet towel to wipe Nikki's face.
Just as she was about to go to the bathroom to wash the dirty clothes,
Nikki in her dreams was grabbing forward with her tiny hands. Her long eyelashes were wet with tears, and her pink lips were curled up as she let out low cries.
"Daddy..."
Ann's heart tightened as she bit her lips.
It was as if something had occurred to her that the scenes when she was with Phillip in the past suddenly seemed like a movie that had been played. Every expression and movement of his was visible.
She didn't want to cry, but her eyes were like a flood that had opened a floodgate, and tears kept flowing down.
Afraid of waking up Nikki, Ann turned around and went into the bathroom, leaning against the cold wall of the bathroom, sobbing.
Phillip's car stopped downstairs of the apartment for a long time. Until the two kids in the back seat could not help but take a nap, he turned the steering wheel and left.
...
That night, Nikki had a high fever, and Ann was in a hurry to take a taxi to take Nikki to the hospital.
On the way, Nikki grabbed Ann's clothes and kept calling for daddy.
Ann's heart was in a mess. Several times, she could not help but want to call Phillip. Thinking of the relationship between them, she could only hold back.
If Nikki knew in the future that the daddy she referred to was... it was the greatest harm to her.
Because there was no vacant single bed in the hospital, she could only let Nikki lean on the chair in the infusion room.
Ann was also standing by the side.
It was 4 or 5 in the morning, and the sun began to rise.
Ann kept watching for the entire night, and she couldn't hold on any longer as she leaned back in his chair, falling asleep.
Her fever had already subsided, but she felt something and opened her eyes.
When she saw the person standing in front of her, her eyes lit up and she was about to shout but she was stopped.
The big black grape-like eyes blinked and Nikki was confused.
Phillip took a blanket and covered it for Ann before bending down to pick up Nikki.
Ann was tired and just frowned, but she didn't wake up.
Phillip pursed his lips and carried Nikki out of the infusion room. He sat down on a bench in the corridor outside.
Nikki's hand wrapped around Phillip's neck as she looked up at him. After a long while, she puffed up her little face in grievance and was about to cry again.
Phillip touched Nikki's forehead with his forehead and felt that the fever had indeed subsided. The wrinkles between his eyebrows spread out.
"Are you angry with daddy?" he asked, staring at her aggrieved face.
Nikki pouted, "I called Daddy, but Daddy ignored me. The other children said that I was a bastard without a daddy. Mommy also said that I am not Daddy's child and that I couldn't call you Daddy anymore..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Phillip with large eyes.
"Daddy doesn't want me anymore? In the future, can't I be with Daddy again?"
Phillip looked at the pitiful kid in his arms, and the coldness in his eyes faded.
Her large hand wiped away the tears on her small face as he said in a gentle voice,
