Robert stood, looking at Kevin in gentle agitation. His son looked more and more like him.
Kevin, however, avoided Robert's eager eyes and said drily, "thank you, Mr. Smith, for your help this time."
Robert's eyes clouded slightly when Kevin called him Mr. Smith. Taking a deep breath, he said to himself, it doesn't matter. Since Kevin would like to ask him for help, it showed that he didn't resent him so much. He couldn't force Kevin to call him father right now.
"You look tired. The doctor said Miss Schultz is fine. It's normal to wake up late from the anesthesia. Don't worry. You should also have a good rest yourself. If you make yourself ill, who will take care of her?" Robert said persuasively.
Kevin didn't say anything. He nodded slightly and kept on walking to the room next to the ward. It was cleared up by the nurse after Savannah, and the baby was sent here last night.
In order to be able to take care of Savannah at any time, he chose to stay next to the ward, Savannah was in.
"Kevin!" Robert called and stopped his son. He had few opportunities to talk with his son, and he was unwilling to leave so soon.
Kevin stopped at the door and looked at Robert.
Robert glanced at Savannah's ward and said, "you really care about Miss Schultz."
He heard about the relationship between Kevin and that girl and knew who she was.
The girl, his son, cared for so much was Dylan Sterling's woman.
The baby she just gave birth to was Dylan Sterling's son.
The Sterling family was one of the richest families in LA, and it was also influential in politics. Dylan's mother was from the Cavendish family, and Dylan was not only a simple businessman. He was very respected in the political circles. The Smith family also had a close relationship with the Sterling family.
Earlier, Robert had invited Dylan to enter politics, but Dylan turned down politely because he had no interest in the bureaucratic jungle.
Not long ago, Robert also received an invitation to Dylan's wedding. Later, old Sterling called to say that the wedding had to be postponed for some reason. Robert didn't care about it first, but he did not expect that Dylan's bride was his son's childhood sweetheart, and his son even took her and her baby away secretly.
If it was known by Dylan, the consequence would be severe. No man could not tolerate his wife and kid being taken away by another man without any reason, let alone the man from the Sterling family. How could he not be furious?
But Robert couldn't refuse Kevin's request. This was the first time his son asked him for help. How could he say no? He owed his son too much...
It was easy for the governor to arrange this. At least in the short term, it should be hard for Dylan to find here.
Kevin was a little surprised. Even if Robert knew Savannah was Dylan's woman, he did not hesitate to help them. He was willing to offend Dylan for him...
Although Robert was the governor, the background of the Sterling family was strong enough to influence his position in politics. It was no good to offend Dylan.
Kevin's face relaxed a little. He softened his tone and said directly, "she's the most important person in my life."
"I know you met at the orphanage..." Robert felt mildly guilty when he mentioned the orphanage. "But Dylan's tough. Now Miss Schultz disappeared with the baby, and I'm sure he'll turn LA upside turn to find her sooner or later. I can help you hide them for the time being, but I'm afraid..."
"I'll think another way. Anyway, sorry to cause you so much trouble these days."
"Never mind, I'm always on your side," Robert sighed. Since his son had determined, he did not say more. He had never been a father to his son, and now he just wanted to give him whatever he wanted. In this way, he could feel less guilty for him.
"Go to have a good rest," Robert said lovingly, "you haven't slept since last night. You must be exhausted. Go to bed now. I'll ask the guards to make you some soup, so you can drink it when you wake up."
"No, thanks. Mrs. Smith must be worried about you. I heard your cell phone vibrate several times. Don't bother to come again." Kevin glanced at the phone in Robert's pocket.
Robert gave a little laugh, looking at his son, and sighed, "Kevin, you still hate me, don't you? I know, I'm sorry for you. I didn't give you a normal life… sorry to let you live in the orphanage from childhood..."
Kevin's jaw clenched. He was just a bastard, born in a dark corner, like a rat. Resentment was gnawing all the time at his heart, but he had no right to complain at all.
"No, Mr. Smith, don't say sorry to me," after a pause, Kevin continued, his voice trembling slightly, "you should say sorry to my mother."
Robert's face turned red from shame.
The Smith family was a political family, in which several generations and multiple siblings were involved in politics. It was a big family, and of course, there were lots of servants working for the Smiths. Kevin's mother was the daughter of the butler of one of Robert's houses.
Mrs. Smith, Madison Jones, came from an official family. The two married because of the interests of the two families. Mrs. Smith was arrogant, and Robert was also young and overbearing. They had led a cat-and-dog life ever since they were married.
One day, the couple had another fierce quarrel. Robert was so angry that he rushed out of the house and lived in another villa, which was the house managed by Kevin's grandfather.
In a bad mood, Robert got drunk every day and eventually made a big mistake. He had sex with the butler's underage daughter under the influence of alcohol.
The girl was Kevin's mother. She was so young and so afraid that she didn't dare to tell anyone. But unfortunately, she got pregnant, and when her father found that, it was too late to have an abortion.
