The Barrister's Love in Town

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.
