Chapter 16 Haley was speechless
In fact, Jason had said it as politely as he could, probably because Haley cut her wrist in order to save Roy last night.
If it had been in the past, he would probably have said it more horribly.
‘Yes, what qualifications do I have to see Roy?
He was hurt the first time I abandoned him.
If I go to meet him again and tell him that I’m his mommy and I’m not dead but I had to abandon him at that time, won’t it cause more harm to him?’
“Mrs. Black, when you said that Mr. Black doesn’t want children, it’s not true. Mr. Black has been really kind to Roy over the years.
He does everything for Roy himself. Do you know why he brought Roy with him when he went to your hospital for treatment?
It’s because Roy is frail and his blood type is rare. Mr. Black is afraid that Roy will be in danger if he leaves for a long time, so he has Roy with him all the time.”
Haley was speechless.
After a long time, Haley raised her head stiffly to ask, “Is Roy’s blood type… Rare?”
Martin nodded, replying, “Yes, like you, he has relatively rare Rh negative blood.
Back then, Roy was in critical condition in a premature birth and the hospital was short of the Rh blood. In order to save Roy, Mr. Black took him to the Imperial City Hospital by helicopter overnight and finally succeeded.
Therefore, Mrs. Black, there is no need for you to worry that Mr. Black will be bad to Roy or abandon him.”
Martin said it sincerely.
The moment Haley heard that, her throat was blocked and she didn’t know what to say.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Her expression became particularly sullen and gloomy as if being hit by the frost.
“I see. You can leave now. Thank you for what you did last night. By the way, don’t… Don’t call me Mrs. Black anymore because I’m not anymore, lest Mr. Black be unhappy.”
Martin didn’t reply.
Although he wanted to say something, he sighed in the end and turned around to leave.
Haley didn’t go to Roy again, and stayed in the cabin to concentrate on recuperating.
When Jason found she was obedient, he didn’t let anyone lock her anymore and gave her enough freedom.
However, although they had reached an agreement not to meet Roy, neither of them expected Roy to suddenly come to Haley on the day when the ship was about to arrive at its destination.
“Why are you still locked up?”
Roy came to the fence to play with the drone that day, so it couldn’t be said that he took the initiative to come to Haley.
However, Haley couldn’t control herself when seeing him.
“Why… Why did you come here, Roy? Did you run out alone? Didn’t your daddy keep an eye on you?”
“Why should he do that?”
Roy replied impatiently and turned around to walk away with the drone controller.
‘Roy is completely different from Ian.
When Ian talks to me, he’ll definitely give me the attitude. He is warm, polite and lively.
But what about Roy?
There is an air of indifference and gloom surrounding him. He’s only five years old, but he is exactly the same as his father.’
As Haley thought, she felt distressed again.
Then She quickly followed Ray and stood beside him cautiously, saying, “I’m sorry, Roy, I misunderstood you. Wow, you’re good at flying the drone. It flies so high.”
Haley tried to talk to Roy.
Since Martin told her about that, she was a little afraid to face Roy, for fear that she would say something to offend Roy and that she would keep guilty when facing him.
Moreover, she even didn’t have the courage to look at him.
Sure enough, Roy simply ignored her when she spoke.
He came to the edge of the fence and started to fly the drone, looking so cold as if he completely ignored Haley.
Haley felt her heart sour again, looking up at the drone.
“By the way, Roy, I forgot to tell you that if you add a little tinfoil to its tail, you can fly it higher and control the direction better.”
As soon as she said these words, finally, Roy looked at her with an indifferent face.
Haley was instantly very happy, “It’s true. If you don’t believe me, I can try it for you.”
Then Haley immediately went to find the tinfoil.
She had learnt it from Ian. Although Ian and Roy had never met each other, their hobbies were surprisingly similar.
When Roy liked to fly the drone, she also had bought quite a few for Ian.
Therefore, she had occasionally seen Ian flying the drone before.
Not long after, Haley retrieved several empty cigarette packs from the ship and ran back to Roy.
” Look, Roy, it’s the tinfoil. Wait for me to get it out.”
Then she squatted in front of Roy while panting, tore open the empty cigarette packs and took out the wrapping paper inside, ready to peel off the tinfoil.
Roy hadn’t taken it seriously at first.
However, he was a child, after all. After seeing Haley squatting there and really peeling off a whole piece of tinfoil, he became curious and looked at her seriously.
“Have you ever gotten this tinfoil, Roy?”
Roy didn’t say anything.
Although he was standing by her side, he was reluctant to talk to her because of his withdrawn temperament.
When Haley saw that, she didn’t force him and patiently took out the cigarette pack paper, scratching it on her knees.
Soon, a very complete piece of tinfoil was peeled off by her.
“Roy, look! ”
Roy still kept silent.
Despite that, Haley could clearly see his eyes, which had been dimmed before, lit up.
Therefore, she wondered if Roy was attracted to her.
In surprise, she took the opportunity to hand one of the cigarette packs to Roy.
“Come on, try it. There seems to be a lot of tinfoil here, so please help me. Let’s do it together so that we can finish it early, okay?”
“Um…”
Roy finally nodded, took the cigarette pack paper handed over by Haley, and then squatted down, too.
‘Awesome!’ Haley thought.
