The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 I Want Daddy

However, when they entered the ward, it was empty.

Elias frowned and stood silently in the room.

Just then, a nurse happened to pass by the room, and Yacob called out to her, asking, "Miss, may I ask where the patient in this room is? The child with a high fever and was receiving an IV drip."

"Oh," the nurse replied. "The child's mother took him home. The child woke up and couldn't find his father. He cried and refused to cooperate, so we prescribed some fever-reducing medication for them to take home."

Worry filled Elias' eyes upon hearing that. Was he asking for me when he woke up?

He suddenly turned around, preparing to go directly to Northern No. 1 to visit Aiden.

Yacob also had a hunch about Elias' intentions and followed him without hesitation.

…

After returning to Northern No. 1, Amanda poured a glass of water and prepared to trick little Aiden into taking the fever-reducing medicine. However, the little boy kept crying and insisted on wanting his father. He seemed to still have a fever and was somewhat delirious, speaking incoherently.

"Daddy… I want Daddy. Daddy…" Aiden curled up on the couch as tears clung to his long lashes, looking very pitiful.

Amanda felt helpless and decided to stick a fever patch on Aiden's forehead first. "Daddy is busy with work. He'll come and visit you later. Let's take your medicine first, okay? Be a good boy…"

The little one was never this clingy to Elias, but for some reason, he kept wanting his father this time.

"I'll wait for Daddy to come back before taking my medicine, then," said the little guy obstinately. "I want to wait for him."

Amanda didn't know what to do at this point. She looked back at Selina, and both of them were at a loss. However, asking her to call Elias and beg him to keep the child company was impossible now.

She grew increasingly pissed at the thought of how Elias left without ever looking back after receiving Stephanie's call.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have told Aiden from the beginning that his father was dead and that he didn't have a father. That way, they wouldn't be in this situation now.

She had only recently made up her mind for the child to recognize Elias, but now, she regretted it because that sc*m of a man didn't deserve to be Aiden's father.

Selina also noticed Amanda and Elias' strained relationship back at the hospital, sensing some resentment.

Though she didn't know what had happened between them, she suggested, "Why don't we have Mr. Winters come over and accompany Aiden? As busy as he is, Aiden is important too…"

However, before Selina could finish her words, Amanda scoffed. "Him? Busy with work? Huh, more like busy preparing for the engagement with his new fiancée. He has no time for his ex-wife's child."

"What? Is Mr. Winters getting married? I thought he wanted to reconcile with you and raise Aiden!"

"Don't mention this ever again. Just hearing it makes me sick, and I will never reconcile with him. Let him marry whomever he wants. My child doesn't need his company. He was never around in the past four years, from the first pregnancy test to the prenatal check-ups to childbirth. I survived just fine without him. What use is he?!"

Resentment filled and surged within Amanda, and her anger wasn't directed only at Elias but also at herself. She was angry at her own weakness, for she was repeatedly hurt by this sc*m of a man. However, looking at her feverish baby, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Suddenly, a certain someone popped into her head, and Amanda gently suggested to Aiden, "Baby, Daddy is really busy right now, and we don't know when he'll come. How about I ask Mr. Simon to come and keep you company?"
