Chapter 378 You Have A Guest

“Daddy’s sick, so we want to take care of him” Lucas blinked innocently.

“We took care of you when you were sick, too,” Camila chimed in to express her agreement.

Christina was baffled, not knowing how to explain the situation to the children. “It’s different. Daddy’s condition is more serious. I’d be worried if you two fell ill, too.”

Lucas and Camila fell silent immediately because their mother had a point.

The two children considered awhile before uttering in unison, “We’ll leave the responsibility of caring for Daddy to you, then.”

“Huh?” Christina almost choked. She carried the children to their room and said, “I can just leave him to Raymond and Mr. Taggart. I still need to take care of you two.”

“That won’t do. Daddy’s a part of our family. It’s only right for family members to take care of him. Mommy, why do you not want to take care of Daddy?” questioned Lucas with his arms crossed like an adult.

Camila’s lips were pursed into a line as she pinned a dubious gaze on her mother. “Do you not see Daddy as one of us?”

Christina was amused by their persistent questions.

“It was you who said family members should love one another. Was it all a lie?” Lucas pressed on with his head tilted, appearing confused.

“No. Mommy never lies,” Camila stated confidently.

Their conversation dumbfounded Christina. They won’t stop if I don’t go over to take care of Nathaniel today. Given no choice, she agreed, “All right. I promise to go over to take care of him.”

It was not until they heard Christina’s promise did they feel at ease. With that, the children followed the housekeeper to take their showers.

Christina was in no hurry to visit the study. Instead, she returned to her room after leaving the children’s

It was not until she had taken a shower and changed into her pajamas did she head to the study. Nathaniel was in an unconscious state. The weight loss made his charming features look more chiseled.

The way Christina saw it, he was like an injured lion that would attack her even if she approached him with good intentions.
