"Oh?" Derek narrowed his eyes. He couldn't bear that a five-year-old brat said that. "You mean, you're crossed in love?"
Noticing the line on his phone, Derek took it over without being polite. He had a look and saw that it was the WhatsApp interface of that woman they met yesterday.
The man's eyes darkened as he looked at the last chat record between them.
Was that woman really with another man?
Derek suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he quickly shook his head. How could this be...
But a woman he just met who saved Easton's life. How could he have any wrong thoughts about her?
Derek's expression darkened, and then he explained his anomaly by saying that he didn't want his son to be unhappy.
Easton watched as the phone was snatched away helplessly. "Hey, dad, you're violating my privacy. Give me back my phone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Derek realized how strange his actions were, but he did not immediately return the phone to Easton.
Easton's bulging cheeks showed how unhappy he was. Derek saw that and persuaded, "Go out for breakfast and finish your milk, then I'll return your phone to you."
Easton is a picky eater, and he hates milk. Now Derek took hold of him, and his tone was an obvious threatening.
"You... You're amusing your power and bullying me!" Easton had no choice. He hated drinking milk all his life. He tried to escape every time, but this time he was caught in a vital position. He was almost wronged to death.
"Hmm? You don't want your phone anymore?" Derek ignored his little protest. "If you don't finish your breakfast, don't bother me."
As he spoke, he took Easton's precious cell phone with great ease, leaving him alone in front of the table to eat the vegetables and milk he did not like.
When he walked into the study, Derek called the head of the hospital directly and confirmed that the visitor was a woman. His gloomy expression eased a little.
His fingers moved on the screen. "It's a woman."
On the other side of the phone, Nora looked at the strange message. After thinking about it, she answered truthfully, "You're right. It's a friend of mine. It's a girl."
Seeing the message, Derek's tense lips relaxed a little. "You are alone there. Are you getting bored? Where's your family?"
Nora thought about it. She was in a special situation, and she didn't want to talk to a five-year-old child about it. "Well... My family is out of town. They can't come back. It's not a big deal anyway, so don't worry about them."
Derek was shocked to see that she was a little lonely in these few lines.
She was hurt, but she held on and didn't talk to her family. Should say that she was strong enough or didn't even dare to rely on others?
"If I have time, I'll go see you." Derek replied, "If there's anything you need right now, you can tell the staff over there directly. If someone neglects you, just tell me."
Nora looked at this long message in a daze, not sure if it was an illusion. She always felt that the tone did not sound like a five-year-old child. Although Easton usually liked to pretend to be an adult but he was not so overbearing.
Could it be Derek?
A second later, Nora shook her head vigorously. She had gone to check on Derek yesterday. He was a busy CEO. How could he have extra time to send text messages to a small potato like her?
After a while, Nora thought of a serious problem. "You'd better not come. What if you're in danger again? Your family can't afford to go through this."
