Chapter 70 My Dad Is Amazing
Draxton was shocked when he recalled everything that had happened just now. He remembered that he was bitten by a venomous snake when trying to save his daughter. Draxton thought that he would die because of that. To his surprise, he turned out fine.
However, Draxton was in a worried state of mind when he saw silver needles on his body.
Then Draxton heard some sounds, and the door opened slowly. Draxton did not dare to make a move, so he tilted his head to look over. He saw that his daughter was holding a bowl that was larger than her face. It was filled with black liquid that had a heavy bitter smell.
Draxton’s face turned pale. He tried to get up but found that he could not do it. Draxton assumed that those silver needles were on certain acupoints.
Draxton worriedly said, “Why are you carrying the medicine? Put it down now! Don’t burn yourself!”
Seeing his daughter do such a dangerous thing, Draxton was very anxious.
Betty looked at Draxton in disdain, replying, “Hey, do you look down on me? Do you think I can’t even carry a bowl?”
Draxton immediately denied, “No… No.”
Draxton did not say anything else because he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter’s self-esteem, However, he could not help looking at her hands and murmuring, “Such small hands are holding a big bowl of medicine. My heart ached.”
Betty placed the big bowl on the bedside table and walked to the bed. She reached out to those silver needles on Draxton’s body.
Draxton was shocked and hurriedly warned Betty, “Don’t touch it!”
Then Draxton realized that his tone may be too harsh and was worried that he would scare his daughter. Therefore, Draxton quickly explained in a soft voice, “I mean, you can’t casually touch these silver needles. Little cutie, can you find the person who put these needles on me to remove them?”
Hearing what Draxton said, Betty rolled her eyes at Draxton and raised her chin proudly, saying, “I am the one who set these needles!”
Draxton did not believe it, thinking, “It is impossible for this five-year-old girl to apply acupuncture no matter how smart this five-year-old child she is.
“If so, that will be insane.”
However, in the next minutes, Betty proved herself. She removed the needles from Draxton’s body so fast that Draxton did not even have time to react. Most importantly, it did not hurt at all.
When Betty was focusing on pulling out the needles, Draxton stared at Betty’s small hand. Draxton thought, “Betty’s hands are so cute. Those chubby fingers even have little swirls on them. Aww, my heart is melted for
them.”
To Draxton’s surprise, this pair of small hands could apply an acupuncture technique that Draxton had never
seen before.
Draxton was proud of Betty, but at the same time, he felt sorry for Betty.
Draxton thought, “Betty is at such a young age. How much hardship has she overcome to have this achievement?”
Draxton had asked Isabella about her and Ricky’s life over the past five years, but Isabella never told Draxton the details. Thus, Draxton did not ask her again.
Draxton somehow realized that the answer might carry too much information for him.
Draxton continued his thought, “If I hadn’t fallen in love with Isabella or had never seen Ricky, perhaps I could be stone-hearted.
“However, I was attracted to the mother and son when hearing them talking at the airport. The killing intent instantly disappeared when I found out that Isabella was the woman I met five years ago and that the cute kid was my son.
“I want them. I want them to be with me for the rest of the life.
“Now, I meet my daughter and finally have the courage to face that question. What kind of life have the three of them lived in the past five years?
“Why can a five-year-old child skillfully apply acupuncture?”
Noticing the indescribable expressions on Draxton’s face, Betty despised Draxton more, asking, “Did I hurt you? Hey, I can’t handle it if you cry.”
Betty was obviously mocking Draxton.
Draxton was happy that he had a daughter, but he also felt this little girl’s hostility toward him.
Draxton now understood why there were so many poisonous snakes in the previous house where he stayed. He thought, “It is probably this girl who set those snakes to scare me.”
Realizing this harsh fact, Draxton did not know whether to laugh or cry. He felt kind of sad.
Draxton said to himself, “It seems that this girl knows about my existence. If not, she won’t be so angry at me.”
Draxton was not angry when being treated like that by the girl. Instead, he felt sadder.
