Chapter 385 No Eavesdropping
Chapter 385 No Eavesdropping
Vivian leaned on the sofa sluggishly. The broadcaster’s ponderous voice from the TV made her sleepy.
She was not bothered, since her son was too smart to watch those noisy cartoons.
Roe slipped out of the sheets and took a glance at her.
“Mom, are you sleeping?” He whispered.
Vivian’s eyes snapped open. She seemed conscious. “What? Do you want to drink water or you want
to go to bathroom?”
Roe shook his head. Then he stretched his arms.
Vivian went over to him readily, held him in her arms, and leaned next to him.
“Mom, are you going to marry John?” Roe asked as he lied on his stomach, his wide-opened eyes
overwhelmed with curiosity and questions.
Vivian froze when she heard the question. Vivian found it difficult to answer the question as she looked
at his face, which was so similar to that of William.
Roe was just a child, not matter how smart he was. It was hard for him to comprehend the complicated
relationships between adults.
In his heart, he merely wanted his parents to be together.
Just like other children’s parents. However, it seemed not likely.
“Roe, a good boy would never eavesdrop. Next time when mommy is talking to him, you should know
what to do. Understand?” Vivian feigned anger.
The sound volume of television was turned up and the two were not sitting together. Vivian didn’t know
the little kid had such good hearing. He was just as elusive as William.
Roe shook his head. There was a slight shred of contempt in his eyes. He wondered if his mother was
trying to change the topic. He considered it obvious.
“Mom, you have not yet answered my question.”
Vivian had no choice but to rub his head. “Don’t you like him?”
Roe pursed his lips, “I didn’t mean that. John is nice to me, but he’s not dad.”
Vivian’s face dimmed slightly, “But your dad is already with Angie. You want to live with her?”
Roe pursed his lips tighter.
He remembered that bad lady.
How could he possibly want to live with that witch?
“Mom, Roe will always be with you. Wherever you go, I’ll follow you.” said the little boy decisively,
holding his mother tight.
He used to live a happy life without his dad, except that he could not see his mother quite often. But he
was her only child. He believed that she would never abandon him.
If he needed to leave his mother and live with that witch to be with his dad, he’d rather have John in his
life.
Holding the boy in her arms, Vivian’s eyes reddened.
She had never regretted giving birth to Roe, and she was always proud of this considerate child.
“Roe, mommy will make it better, so that you can live like other kids.” Vivian swore in a low voice.
In the ward next to theirs, the frowns on William’s forehead revealed his mood.
His voice sounded low. The black pupils in his squinting eyes were giving off a freezing vibe. Joe felt
like winter when he looked into William’s eyes.
Joe shivered and then he rubbed his nose. “It was my mistake. I swear that I will arrest Six-ears within
3 days. After that I’ll take my punishment.”
“Since you have it all planned, why do you come here?” William sneered.
He found his fellow very mischievous in normal circumstances, but very unreliable in crucial times.
He was surprised that they still failed to capture Six-ears after so many times. Now they even lost track
of him. It seemed that they were devoid of training during these years when he was not with them.
Joe’s head became lower.
He could care less about manners in normal times, since they were brothers. When it came to missions
and disciplines, there was no room for negotiation.
He knew well of his punishment.
He was here only to inform his boss.
“Boss, we still haven’t found Six-ears. Should we send more men to the hospital, in case of any
accident? I am afraid Six-ears will come for you.” He worried that Six-ears would look for William’s
weaknesses again, which meant that Six-ears might start with Vivian or Roe.
That would be worse than letting the man kill his boss.
William sneered, and then he spoke, “Not necessary. Find a place that is quiet and hard to trace. Roe
and I will move in.”
Of course, that woman was also included.
In that case, they would not be frequently visited by the irrelevant people.
Joe was confused, wondering if his boss was up to something.
“Yes, sir!”
“Keep an eye on Daniel and Eric. Find out the date of the trade. If possible, you can sneak into the
place where they will sign the contract. If you fail me again, you will spend another year in the base.”
William said with a stern voice.
Joe looked frightened. He felt a punch on his heart when he thought of that terrifying place.
“Yes sir!” He answered loudly. “You have three days. You said it yourself.” William reminded him.
Joe put on a wry smile and saluted, “Yes.”
“Now, get out of here!”
Joe took his exit immediately.
William stood up and rubbed the wound on his shoulder. The thing Six-ears hid almost pierced through
his shoulder.
However, as long as he was not dying, he would recover soon.
But he was impressed by Daniel.
He wondered what was so special about Six-ears that Daniel was so eager to protect this man, even
when he knew that he would be exposed.
William squinted, reviewing the information about Six-ears in his head. Then he connected it with what
happened in the Shen Family.
He tried to find any clue.
Meanwhile, in the house of the Shen Family.
“Brother, have you found any information about the kid Roe?” Daisy asked.
Yesterday she called the police in time when she was instructed to do so. However, except making a
statement in the police station, there was no further progress of the case. It was very late in the
evening when Daniel picked her. He said that he would help her on the case.
But she still didn’t know anything about that kid after one night.
Daisy felt guilty when thinking of the cute little kid. He suffered from ill health, and now he was
kidnapped.
If she had not taken him out for cakes, the little boy might not have been kidnapped.
She felt like it was all her fault.
Daniel raised his eyebrows. He felt helpless about his sister’s self-blame and worried about her.
“The kid had been found. You should stop worrying about him.” Daniel said.
Chapter 386 Feed Fishes in the Pool
Daisy never had any doubt about his brother’s words. Her eyes brightened instantly, amd then she
stood up.
“Really? I should go to the hospital to visit him.”
“Wait!” Daniel felt a headache.
He wondered when his sister would be less impatient.
“Brother?” Daisy looked back, confused.
Daniel explained patiently, “We just found him. His family had just gone through a crisis. You should not
bother them.”
“But, Roe got kidnapped because of me...”“No. It’s because of his parents. Even if you had not taken
him out, it would happen anyway. Hence, it would be either you or others. Am I understood?” Daniel
said sternly.
He didn’t want Daisy to have any sympathy or affection for William’s son.
There would be a war between him and William sooner or later.
Daisy seemed to have understood. The usual mildness on his brother’s face was replaced by
sternness. It was a rare thing. So she didn’t say anything else. She nodded.
She stopped saying that she needed to pay that boy a visit. Daniel felt relieved and continued, “Six-
ears had left the hospital. He has something urgent to do. You don’t need to go to the hospital to look
for him.”
“What? How... How can it be so sudden? And he didn’t even tell me?” Daisy opened her eyes wide.
She felt hurt and found it hard to believe.
She thought they liked each other.
He could he leave without telling her?
Daniel squinted as he saw his sister like this. “Daisy, Six-ears is a grown-up man. He has his own thing
to do. You just met him. Perhaps he already has a family. I don’t want you to set your heart on
someone you shouldn’t.”
“No. He told me that he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He told me that... Brother...”
Daisy shook her head. She blushed as her eyes met Daniel’s.
Nothing had happened between them, but her brother made it sound like Six-ears was her boyfriend.
It was really shameless.
She lowered her head shyly, but she didn’t discover the cruelty and killing intention flashing through his
eyes.
Feeling embarrassed, Daisy thought of the slander Daniel cast upon Six-ears. She had to spoke in a
low voice, “Brother, he is a nice man and he’s always good to me. I’m a grown-up now. Can you stop
caring about things like this?”
“...Alright!” Daniel sighed.
But he inwardly decided that he would never let Six-ears show up in front of Daisy again.
Daisy felt delighted because she thought her brother was convinced.
After talking to Daniel for a while, she left jauntily.
The moment she left, Daniel summoned Bob and Kevin.
“Have you finished the thing about Six-ears.” His voice sounded a little bit cold.
Bob and Kevin traded a glance. Then they put on a flattering smile. “Please be assured, boss. We have
done it neatly, and no one would find any clue.”
“Good. I want Daisy to be well protected during these days. And you can never let her meet Six-ears.
I’ll consider about this when it is over...” Daniel sounded meaningful.
Bob and Kevin could not help shivering .They both knew that Six-ears would be tossed into a pool to
feed fishes when he became useless.
In the hospital, Vivian easily fell asleep on the bed, holding Roe in her arms.
When she opened her eyes, it was already noon. She was woken by the noise someone made.
She was dumbfounded when she saw the person clearly. “Alexander? Why are you here?”
It was Alexander.
Seemingly embarrassed, Alexander coughed with one hand covering his mouth. “Well, I’m here to
check on Roe. Sorry for waking you up. By the way, do you want to join me for lunch? I have brought
many things for boss. You should join us.”
Vivian knew well of his intentions. Smilingly, she shook her head. “Thanks, but not necessary. I can buy
some food later. I assume they need you there. You need to take care of him.”
Alexander had to leave with a sigh.
“Boss, it is not that I don’t want to help you. The beauty just won’t come.”
“William!” Vivian sneered.
“Mom.” Roe rubbed his eyes. He still seemed drowsy. One thread of his hair cocked up and kept
swaying, which seemed very cute.
Vivian could not help running her fingers through her son’s hair.
The touch was soft and cozy.
“Roe, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?” she asked.
She felt refreshed after a good sleep, but she was a little hungry, so was Roe.
Roe shook his head and murmured. “I want to eat the egg noodles mommy made.” He still sounded
drowsy.
Vivian was stunned for a moment.
She cooked for Roe occasionally. She had not expected that this boy would remember what she had
cooked for him.
Once again, Vivian felt guilty.
To be with William all these years, she owed her son a lot.
But it was impossible for her to cook a bowl of egg noodles now.
Vivian said awkwardly, “Roe, can I make it for you after we go home? What about I buy you some food
to eat now?”
It was not until then Roe was fully awakened. He looked at Vivian, seemingly understood her words. He
grinned instantly, “I will eat whatever mommy buys for me.”
Vivian felt bad upon hearing it.
She kissed his cheeks and got off bed. “Wait for mommy. I’ll bring the most delicisou food for you. The
nurse will be around soon. Don’t go around.”
Vivian still remembered yesterday’s incident. She would never leave Roe alone in a room.
Seemingly apologetic, Roe rubbed his nose and held Vivian’s palm.
“I’m sorry, mommy. I made you worried yesterday.”
Vivian let out a sigh, “Roe, I know that you don’t want to be in the hospital all day. But you are still a kid.
There is danger in this world and you can’t handle it now. You should stay by my side and let me
protect you. Do you know that now?”
Roe nodded, “yes, mommy.”
“Well, since you learned from the accident, you are still mommy’s good boy. Now just wait for the nurse Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
to come. Then mommy will bring you food.” Vivian felt relieved inwardly.
She knew that Roe was at the age when he was curious about the world. It was natural that he wanted
to see the world outside.
However, his body was in ill health. She didn’t want to blame him for what happened yesterday.
It was a good thing that they discussed about it now..
