Barry had put on fresh and clean clothes, and walked into Ray's ward.
His son had just woken up not long ago. Selah, who sat beside Ray, watched her son intently. "Ray, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your eyes?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Ray shook his head and looked away. As he did so, he saw Barry standing at the door of the ward. He opened his mouth and called in a weak voice, "Uncle..."
Before he fainted, he seemed to have heard his Uncle Barry say that he was his father. Was it real or did he just hear it wrong?
Selah followed Ray's gaze. When she saw Barry, she felt a little embarrassed, making her quickly stand up. "Mr. Gu."
Barry swallowed hard and nodded at her. "Hi. How is Ray?"
"He's fine."
"That's good then." Barry walked over and looked at his son with concerned expression. "Are your eyes okay? Can you see clearly?"
"Yes. I can see with no problem." Ray nodded. He intended to say something but stopped at the second thought.
"What's wrong?" Barry read Ray's expression and realized that something was bothering him at a glance. "What do you want to ask?"
"Are you really my father?"
Ray asked straightforwardly. Hearing that, Selah instinctively called Ray's name in embarrassment. "Ray! Why did you..."
"Yes, I am." Before Selah could even finish her question, Barry answered while nodding. "I... I'm your father."
Selah bit her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. Fate played a big joke on her. After going through so much, she did not know whether to be sad or moved by the scene in front of her.
"Are you truly my father? For real?" Ray propped himself up into sitting position and Selah quickly assisted him. "Mom, is Uncle... Is he telling the truth?"
She looked at Barry's facial expression for a long time before answering with a nod. "Yes, it's true."
"Then why didn't you tell me before? You have known it for a long time, haven't you?" The more Ray spoke, the angrier he became. "Why didn't yo
ut with curiosity. A flight of today. Selah Shen and Raymond Shen...
"Daddy Barry, what's wrong?" Alick asked when he noticed that Barry's expression had changed. Barry had already seemed happy a while ago, but his expression turned dark and gloomy again upon seeing the tickets.
"Nothing." He hastily took out the tickets and said to the boy in an urgent tone, "Alick, I have something to do. I'll be back." Without waiting for Alick's response, he rushed out of the ward.
He had just walked out of the room when he saw Selah walking towards him.
"Selah!" he shouted from afar, which made her stop walking immediately.
"Yes?" Stopped in tracks, she watched as Barry strode towards her.
"What's this?" He angrily held up the tickets and waved them on her face.
Selah's eyes widened in shock, and she was unable to utter an intelligible answer. "Well, I..."
"You want to take my son away?" Barry laughed sardonically and continued, "If nothing had happened today, would you have already left? "
Selah was stunned at Barry's audacity.
"Were you planning to take him away like this? Huh?! Answer me!" he asked again. As he spoke, his voice seemed angrier.
Selah nodded. All of a sudden, she finally felt the courage to yell back. "Or what? Let Ray know that you are his father and then watch you marry someone else? How could you be so mean?!"
She did not care about anything now. She was ready to face Barry's fury head on.
However, instead of arguing back, Barry just sighed helplessly. He looked at Selah in the eye and said slowly, "Let's... let's have a try, shall we?
"What do you mean?"
"I said, let's have a try. Let's try to be together." He turned his face away and said awkwardly, "We already have a son anyway. We might as well give it a try."
Hearing that, Selah covered her mouth to stop her from screaming. What Barry had said was an absolute shock for her. She stood in the hallway, petrified in spot, unable to move or speak.
