Chapter 89
“Uncle, can we go see Mommy?”
Aviva’s little face was full of worry. Faced with the little ones, my expression softened a lot. “Go ahead, your mommy is resting. Speak softly so as not to wake her up.”
The little ones nodded obediently and walked in a line, carefully entering the room. In the hospital room, Aimee was sound asleep. At first glance, she looked just like she did when she was unconscious.
Seeing her like this, the little ones were once again filled with fear. “Don’t be afraid, she’s just asleep. She’ll wake up tomorrow morning,”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
I reassured them before they could even speak. “Goodnight Mommy.” Cyrus suddenly tiptoed up and kissed Aimee on the cheek.
Aviva also followed suit, saying in a milky voice, “Mommy, you must wake up tomorrow morning!” Lundy was last in line, and he too lightly touched Aimee’s cheek.
“Ah…” The little one opened his mouth and suddenly stopped, but after a few seconds, he softly said, “Goodnight Mommy.”
After saying that, the little guy looked at me eagerly.
It’s the second time I’ve heard him call Aimee in just one night.
Looking at the little guy’s timid eyes, I frowned and couldn’t say anything.
I cleared my throat and said, “it’s getting late. You’d better go back and have a rest.”
The kids agreed obediently and followed me out of the ward.
After sending the kids to the next ward, I came back to guard Aimee
“Water…”
I’ve been tired all day. I was sleepy, but when I heard her voice, I woke up immediately. I got up and poured her a glass of water.
She wanted to stand up and take it, but I directly put the glass edge to her mouth and held her in my arms.
She took a few sips of water and pushed the glass again.
I put the glass aside and put her back.
After a while, Aimee fell asleep again.
I was afraid that she would wake up again. After hesitating for a moment, I reached out and took her hand that was exposed, and took a nap by her bedside. The next morning, when I woke up, Aimee was already awake. Looking at her empty palm and then at the person in front of me, I asked in a hoarse voice, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you call me?”
“I saw you sleeping soundly and I was already feeling better, so I didn’t call you. By the way, how are the children? ”
I said in a deep voice, “They’re next door. Since you’re awake, I’ll let them come over and take a look, and then have Bill take them back.”
She nodded.
I looked deeply at her, got up and went to the next room.
After chatting with the kids for a while, Penn asked Bill to send them to the kindergarten.
After the reexamination of experts, I’m basically fine. I just need to have a good rest.
Soon, there were only two people left in the room, Penn and me.
To hide my panic, I picked up the phone on the table and took a look at it.
As soon as I opened it, i saw nearly twenty missed calls on the screen.
Most of the calls were from Aviva and Cyrus, and the rest were from Dave.
“Did Dave come here yesterday?”
“I couldn’t help but ask.”
As soon as I spoke, I saw Penn’s face suddenly change color, and the pressure around him also lowered.
Seeing the man’s change, I was stunned, not knowing what I said wrong again.
“Is he so important to you? After recovering from a serious illness, besides caring for your children, all you think about is Dave?”
Penn looked at me with a heavy gaze and spoke, moving towards the hospital bed.
I was a bit confused by his sudden anger and furrowed my brows to explain, “I just saw that he called me several times, and when I was poisoned…”
Before I could finish my words, he interrupted me with a deep voice, “When you were unconscious, he was also by your side.”
I didn’t think much about it and nodded, recalling the scene at the time.
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but Penn’s words seem to have a deeper meaning.
“So, have you ever thought about why, when both of you inhaled poisonous gas, you were poisoned, with a serious symptom, but got nothing wrong?”
Penn stood beside the bed, looking at me from top to bottom, and his words were full of questioning.
When I heard this, I was stunned and realized what he meant.
Penn suspected that something was wrong with the experiment. It was Dave who did it!
Realizing this, I retorted without hesitation, “he has no reason to do so.”
With his eyes darkened, Penn said in a low voice, “you do trust him.”
I was startled by the sudden decrease in the atmosphere around him. Realizing that I was too anxious just now, I consciously slowed down my tone.
“It’s not that I don’t believe him. I just think that this project is led by his family, and he has also invested a lot in the project. Now the project has finally reached a new stage, and he has no reason to take action at all.”
Besides, I have been in charge of the research of the core technology of this project, and I have mastered it the most deeply.
If Dave really wants to hurt me, it means that he is going to give up this project.
But this project had involved so many people and had been made public. If Dave did this, it would do no good.
Penn’s face turned livid. “Really? Then tell me, who else would do such a thing except him? Dexter?”
“Mr. Finger won’t. We’ve worked together for a long time. I trust him.”
What’s more, the Dexter almost couldn’t touch the laboratory. During the few minutes he stayed on the laboratory, I had been staying beside him.
Even if the Dexter wanted to do it, he wouldn’t have the chance.
