Chapter 85
Penn’s POV: I leaned against the door of the hospital room, looking through the window at the situation inside. Through the window, I could see that Aimee seemed to be talking to someone, her facial expression changing constantly.
I didn’t know what they were talking about, but the little woman suddenly looked up and glanced at the door. I instinctively furrowed my brow and avoided her gaze.
The three kids were leaning against the crack in the door, trying to see what was happening inside, but the door was closed tightly. “Uncle, how is Mommy?”
Cyrus tugged at my sleeve, and Aviva and Lundy also gave up peeking through the crack and looked up at me with hopeful eyes. Hearing the kids’ voices, I snapped out of my thoughts and patted their heads reassuringly. “The doctor is examining her and it seems like there’s nothing wrong.”
The kids stopped crying, but their eyes were still red. When they heard my answer, they smiled and bit their lips. Suddenly, I thought of something and looked at Lundy. Earlier, Lundy had called Aimee “Mommy” along with the other two kids, which shocked me deeply.
But at that time, I was more concerned about Aimee’s condition. Now that she has woken up, I couldn’t help but wonder what the little guy had felt at that time. After a while, the experts came out of the room.
As soon as the door opened, I looked up and asked, “How is she?” The lead expert smiled and nodded, “Miss Miller woke up so quickly, which was beyond our expectations. As long as she wakes up, there’s nothing major to worry about.
The subsequent treatment will be much simpler. During this time, just be careful not to stimulate her emotions.” I nodded in understanding and looked through the open door at the little woman inside.
Aimee had already lain back in bed, and seemed to have noticed my gaze. She turned her body to the other side, with her back facing the door. Seeing this, my eyes darkened.
“Mr. Carter, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now. You and the kids probably have a lot to say to Miss Miller. We won’t disturb you anymore.” The expert smiled and said. I nodded and stepped aside to let them leave. As soon as the experts entered the elevator, the three kids rushed in eagerly. “Mommy!” Aviva and Cyrus’s eyes lit up and they ran to Aimee, staring at her like two little puppies. Lundy followed behind them, opened his mouth, but didn’t dare to make a sound. I saw the little guy’s mouth movements, clearly still calling Aimee “Mommy” with the others. Seeing the timid look on the little guy’s face, I felt something strange in my heart.
Aimee’s POV
“Mommy, how are you feeling? Are you okay?” Aviva asked in a sweet voice.
I comforted, “Mommy is fine now. I’m sorry to make you worried. Are you afraid?”
The kids shook their heads vigorously. “No, we’re not afraid. We’re just worried about Mommy.”
But I can clearly see the timidity in their eyes.
Thinking of how the kids were feeling just now, my heart ached. “Mommy will be fine. I will accompany you and watch you grow up healthily.”
When I spoke, my heart was full of remorse.
I don’t know what happened to the gas in today’s experiment.
But when I thought back, i was too careless at that time.
I’m the only family member of Aviva and Cyrus. I have to protect myself
“I promise you that this will never happen again.” I smiled apologetically to the kids.
Aviva and Cyrus nodded obediently and comforted me, “Mommy, don’t worry. We will take good care of ourselves and you during this period of time!”
Hearing this, I was moved.
Cyrus seemed to think of something and suddenly turned to look at Penn, who was standing at the door of the ward. Then he turned around and said in a sweet voice, “thank you for taking care of Mommy. Otherwise, my brother and I don’t know what to do.”
“Uncle has been with mommy all the time. Mommy, uncle has really helped a lot.”
Aviva said seriously.
Lundy nodded in agreement.
Hearing that the kids were sure about Penn, my mood fluctuated again.
When those experts checked me up just now, they had already told me about it.
I didn’t know how to face it, so I interrupted stiffly.
But she didn’t expect that these kids would mention it again in just a few minutes.
This time, Penn was standing at the door and listening.
Even if I don’t want to face it, I have to face it.
Thinking of this, I braced myself and looked back at the person at the door. “Thank you, Mr. Carter. You’ve caused Mr. Carter trouble again today.”
I thought Penn would sneer at me or be open-minded as usual.
Unexpectedly, he nodded expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, “you really bring me a lot of trouble.”
Hearing this, I was stunned and didn’t know how to answer.
He walked to my bed.
Facing the man’s dark eyes without any emotion, my heart inexplicably tightened.
“When I got the news today, I was in an important meeting.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
He slowly stated what had happened today. “When Bill showed me his phone, I still couldn’t believe my eyes. Miss Miller has always been very powerful, hasn’t he? Why can’t he ensure his own safety during the research?”
I lowered my eyes with guilt, and my lips moved a few times, but I didn’t know how to answer.
“Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think about Aviva and Cyrus. They have no father now. Can they afford to lose their mother?”
Penn’s voice was full of questioning.
“I know Mr. Carter is worried about me.”
