Only Clayton and Lil Michael were left in the ward.
Clayton looked at Li Michael motionlessly. Lil Michael's heart instantly softened when he heard Clayton's words.
A feeling of adoration instantly surged, leaving his little head completely unguarded.
Michael went over with reddened eyes and took Clayton's hand.
"Daddy, you have to get better soon and take me out to eat delicious food!”
Although Clayton expressly forbade Michael from eating fried fast food, Clayton was also sympathetic to children's picky appetite and would take Michael out t o eat delicious food from time to time. He would not let Lil Michael suffer.
Lil Michael suddenly felt like he had gone too far.
It seemed like this KFC meal was a betrayal to Clayton.
Guilt arose spontaneously.
Clayton reached out and touched the boy's reddened eyes. His gaze was warm with a smile.
"I know. You were worried sick when Daddy was injured, right?”
Lil Michael froze for a second and nodded heavily.
That was right.
Clayton smiled. "For so many years, I've always taken care of you by myself. Although there were times when I wasn't considerate enough, I let you hand-pick your nanny and bodyguard to make up for it. The two o f us have been dependent on each other for so many years. Daddy always dotes on you the most. Don’t you have anything to say to me?"
Lil Michael did not expect Clayton to say something s o touching.
His reddened eyes spilled tears.
He wiped them away and hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.
"Okay, Daddy. I asked Pretty Lady to take me to KFC tonight, but it wasn't her idea. I was the one who insisted.”
Clayton's face stiffened. He held back a snicker, but he looked at Lil Michael intently.
Lil Michael raised his hand before Clayton could open his mouth to reprimand him.
"Daddy, it’s just this once. It won’t happen again. I promise I won't do it again."
Clayton reached out and stroked his head. His voice was clear and warm.
"I know you're a good boy who keeps his word, but..."
