Chapter 73
Edmund’s POV
The two of us sat face to face on the sofa, staring at each other. Oarlan stood aside.
This little guy looked so familiar.
, innocent eyes looked exactly like Leanna’s, butyebrows and aquiline nose were like a copy of mine.
Wasn’t he Eugene’s child?
Why does he look like me so much?
I looked at the little guy and was about to speak when I heard a faint sigh. “Alas…”
I don’t know why he sighed and frowned slightly.
“Uncle, you are not father, are you?” He looked up at me and asked.
At this moment, I turned around to look at Oarlan. Oarlan explained, “when I saw this little guy, he kept saying that he wanted to see father, so I told him to take him to see father…”
I see.
No wonder he was taken to a strange place by strangers without crying.
“How do you know I’m not your father?” I asked curiously.
“Uncle, you are so handsome. If father were you, my Mommy would have taken me to you all the time. She likes handsome men. Every time she sees handsome men, her eyes will be full of stars.” Then he jumped off the sofa, crawled to me and sat down next to me. “Besides, you didn’t have an impulse to see me, nor did you hold me and cry… It’s not like this on TV…”
I’m curious about what TV he’s watching and why it happened.
Was it a family drama?
But when I think of Leanna’s style, I feel relieved.
“Uncle, do you know where father is?” He reached out his little hand and poked me gently.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Seeing this, Oarlan hurried forward and took him away. “Mr. President, let me take him to the lounge for a while.”
I waved my hand. I really need to be quiet now.
This child looks like me. If he is really my child, then Leanna, you are doomed!!
Leanna’s POV
At half past five in the afternoon, when I appeared at the entrance of the King group, I instantly attracted the security guards’ attention.
“Miss, who are you looking for?” The security guard looked at me and asked politely.
“Edmund.” Then I went straight to the door of the CEO’s exclusive elevator.
“Do you have an appointment?” The security guard hesitated.
“He must want to see me very much.” I said confidently and pressed the elevator button, waiting quietly for it to come down from the ninety-eight floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, I looked at the security guard who was standing aside and looking at me with a confused face. I gave him a faint smile and then pressed the button of the floor. The elevator door instantly closed and began to rise straight.
It was time to get off work. Edmund should still be in the company?
He asked Oarlan to take Cedric away. Did he doubt the origin of Cedric?
Or did he already know that I was the woman in the club that night?
I walked out of the elevator uneasily. When I saw Oarlan standing at the door of the CEO’s office, I was immediately surprised.
“Oarlan, nice to meet you…” I quickly walked up to Oarlan and greeted her.
“Miss Leanna… You… Hello…” he looked at me in a daze and responded in a daze.
“Is it in Edmund?”.
“I… i… I’m inside…” he nodded.
“Well… I’m going to look for him…” I said, pointing to the door, and then walked into the office.
When I walked in, I saw Edmund was busy with his work.
“What’s the matter?” He heard the door open and thought it was his secretary, so he asked without raising his head.
“It’s me.” I stood behind the closed door and didn’t dare to get close.
He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes slowly turned from surprise to coldness. He also took back his sight and threw the pen in his hand on the desk in front of him. He crossed his arms over his chest and lazily leaned against the back of the chair behind him, staring at me silently.
“I…” I opened my mouth but didn’t know what to say. I began to regret that I didn’t practice my opening remarks after seeing him before I came here. Now he just stared at me without saying anything, making me so nervous that I don’t know what to say.
Seeing that he didn’t open his mouth and just looked at me as if he was waiting to see a joke, I bit my lips, made up my mind and came straight to the point. “Where did you take my son?”
“Your son?”
He sneered sarcastically and tapped his right arm with his left hand across his chest, as if he was watching a big joke.
“Yes, I know you asked someone to take him away. Tell me, where did you take him?” I just want to know where the child is now. I don’t even dare to look into Edmund’s eyes. I’m afraid that he has already known the identity of Cedric.
“Do you think I will tell you?”
“What do you want?” I don’t think I will get Cedric back so easily this time, so I look at Edmund with some uneasiness in my eyes.
Although he and I have changed a lot in the past four years, when I see him again, I can clearly feel my heart beating.
“What do you think?”
I don’t know what he wants.
“Please give Cedric back to me. I beg you. He is sick and can’t stay outside all the time…” my tone was a little anxious, and my eyes were slightly red.
“Leanna, I’ll ask you for the last time. Who is that little guy’s father?” He had already stood up from his chair and walked straight to me. He looked down at me and asked coldly.
Sure enough, he still doubted Cedric’s background.
That’s right. Anyone could see how similar the two faces were.
“Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?”
“Oarlan!” He raised his head and shouted at the door.
Oarlan came in from the outside.
“Take her out.”
When I heard this, I was flustered. I reached out and grabbed his arm directly. “Please return the Cedric to me. Please.”
Edmund looked at me coldly and said, “let go.”
“No, I won’t. can you return the Cedric to me?” I shook my head and begged.
He grabbed my wrist and exerted a little strength. I frowned in pain and loosened my hand involuntarily.
“Oarlan, are you deaf? Take her out!”
Oarlan walked up to her and politely said, “Miss Leanna, please go back.”
”
How could I just leave like this? I was worried about Cedric’s health. In a hurry, I knelt down and begged, “Edmund, please. No matter how much you hate me, Cedric is innocent. He is really sick now. He is seriously ill. I have to take him back to the hospital.”
“Huh… Hate you? Leanna, you take yourself too seriously.” Edmund sneered and looked down at me. “I won’t return the child to you. Just give up.”
“Miss Leanna, get up first. Let’s have a talk.” Oarlan persuaded.
“The baby… Is yours!” With tears in my eyes, I finally opened my mouth.
“Do you think I will believe you?” Edmund sneered.
“You can do a paternity test.” I know he won’t trust me so easily, so I said quickly.
“I will do the paternity test.” He said in a cold and hard tone, “since you said that the child is mine, I can’t let him go with you either.”
“Why? I have told you that he is your son. Why do you still…”
“Leanna, you’ve suffered a lot. Do you think I’ll give you another chance to take my son away?” He sneered sarcastically and said coldly.
“So, anyway, you won’t let me see the baby, will you?” I looked at him and suddenly realized that I seemed to have made a very stupid decision.
“Yes,!”
“What if I tell you that I’m pregnant with your baby?” I’m going all out. I showed my last card.
His expression froze for a moment. Then he sneered, “you are really something.”
At this time, Oarlan’s mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, took a look at it and walked aside to answer the phone. “What’s wrong? Call an ambulance right now…”
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at us in panic.
Hearing the words “ambulance”, the alarm rang in my head. I stood up and turned to Oarlan. “Is there anything wrong with Cedric? Where is he now? Tell me, please.”
“Well…” Oarlan was in a dilemma and looked at Edmund.
I was afraid that Edmund would refuse me again, so I quickly said, “only I know Cedric’s condition best. I have to go to the hospital with her, so that the doctor won’t be delayed.”
“Go to the hospital.” Without taking his coat, Edmund walked out of the room.
Seeing that he didn’t refuse her again, I quickly followed him and walked out of the office with Oarlan.
When we arrived at The Peace Hospital, the baby had been sent to the emergency room.
The doctor came out to ask about the family history. I immediately went forward and described Cedric’s condition in detail.
Edmund’s POV
When I heard that my son was diagnosed with leukemia, I almost couldn’t hold on.
After Leanna told the doctor the history of her disease, I stepped forward, grabbed her wrist and said in a cold voice, “Leanna, what did you do to my son? Why did he get that damn disease?”
Her tears fell down like broken beads, and her voice choked, “I don’t know, I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” I glared at her. “You took my son away and disappeared for four years. Now he is sick like this. Tell me, you don’t know why?”
“Yes, it was indeed wrong for me to leave with the child, but before I left, I told you that the child was yours. Do you believe me? If you don’t leave, will you let me give birth to the child?” She looked back at me and said word by word, not to be outdone.
Hearing this, my expression froze, and a trace of pain flashed through my eyes. After a long time, I laughed in anger.
‘Leanna, it turns out that in your eyes, I’m just such a cold-blooded and ruthless man who doesn’t respect life at all.
“Oarlan, take her away.” I said tiredly.
Cedric was out of danger after doctors’ rescue.
I have been staying in the garden of the in-patient department.
After knowing that Cedric is my son, I don’t know how to face this child.
I was unprepared and became a father.
Leanna has prepared a big surprise for me.
But I haven’t figured out how to be a father.
I hope I can leave a good impression on my child and make him like me.
After sending Leanna away, Oarlan came back and found me in the garden. “Mr. President, how’s the little Master?”
Hearing Oarlan’s voice, I looked up at him and asked, “did she leave?”
He nodded, “she used to live in the hospital. I asked her to take her luggage and send her to the club.”
I didn’t say anything more.
“Boss, is young Master… Okay?”
“Go to the ward with me.” I stood up and walked forward.
We get into the elevator, go upstairs, get out of it and go to the corridor where Cedric’s ward is.
As soon as we reached the door, I heard a clear child’s voice coming from in front of them. “Step back. Everyone, step back to the outside of the cordon. Please don’t exceed this line. The visiting fee is ten thousand dollars per person…”
At this moment, Cedric was squatting at the door of the ward, drawing circles on the ground with a pen. The place where he circled was an overturned baby carriage.
“Cedric, what are you doing here?” Oarlan walked up to him and asked with a smile.
“Sir, please step back. This is the scene of a traffic accident. Please don’t get in the way of the police.” With a serious look on his face, Cedric pushed Oarlan back. Following him, he soon found me standing behind Oarlan. In an instant, his eyes began to shine. He rushed to me, held my leg and shouted, “handsome uncle, you’re here too?”
I didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic when he saw me. For the time being, I haven’t completely adapted to my identity, so I don’t know how to face this little guy’s enthusiasm.
Oarlan immediately stepped forward, squatted down in front of Cedric, reached out to touch his fluffy head and said with a smile, “Cedric, he is not a handsome uncle. He is your father.”
“Dad?” Hearing this, Cedric looked at me with his beautiful big eyes. After a while, he suddenly covered his stomach and looked a little painful.
“Cedric, what’s wrong?” I sensed something wrong with him and asked nervously.
“I want to pee…” he said as his body bent slightly and his legs were tightly clamped together.
After I went back to his room, Cedric stood on the sofa, looked me up and down, and then stood in front of me and asked seriously, “are you really father?”
“Yes, ” I replied in a serious tone. This is the first time I have established a father son relationship with him. I hope Cedric can recognize me asFather.
Hearing this, he blinked his big eyes for a few times, reached out his hands and threw himself into my arms. He shouted excitedly, “Dad, Dad, I finally find my dad, waah…”
I didn’t expect him to be so shocked, but I’m glad that he recognizes me as father.
