"Why? You're my mommy and my daddy, of course, we're a family!" Kaiden pouted.
Savannah had no idea how to explain it to Kaiden. As he was about to burst into tears, she had to say, "even if we're a family, we don't have to live together. Anyway, I can't live with you now... I'm sorry."
She felt guilty that she had never taken on the role of his mother.
However, Kaiden picked up the keyword, and his eyes lit up. "You can't live with us now? You'll be back sooner or later, right? Never mind. I'll wait for you."
Savannah was silent. It was difficult for her to say anything to displease him.
A moment later, she felt sleepy again.
"Kaiden, I'm a little tired. Could you go back first?"
Kaiden got out of bed obediently. He was always told to be a considerate boy. When grandpa was sick, he also wanted more rest.
He nodded and said sweetly, "Mommy, can I come to see you again?" There was an anticipative look in his eyes.
Helplessly, she nodded, "all right. But don't bring your father."
With a cheer, Kaiden promised her quickly. He blew a kiss to Savannah before he bounced out of the ward.
In the corridor, Garwood walked over when he saw the young master coming out. "Oh, my little master, have you said good-bye to your mom?"
"Yeah. Where's my dad?" Kaiden took Garwood's hand and whispered with a glance at the closed door behind him.
"He's waiting for you in the car." Garwood sighed.
Today, Mr. Sterling came here with the young master. However, he was afraid that Miss Schultz would be too excited to see him. Instead of coming to see her himself, he asked the young master to visit her alone while he was waiting in the car.
Kaiden mimicked Garwood sighing with pity and sympathy for his dad. Then they left the inpatient department together.
In the Lamborghini out of the hospital, a man was looking up at the fourth-story window behind which Savannah stayed.
Garwood walked over and pulled open the back door of the car, placing Kaiden in the kid seat.
"Daddy!" Kaiden called with an air of complacency in his voice.
He had been hugged and kissed by his mommy in the ward, but his poor daddy couldn't even see her.
According to uncle Garwood, daddy seemed to have done something to upset mommy.
It was also daddy's fault that mommy had a fever and was sent to the hospital. Because of this, daddy did not dare to go in, afraid that mommy would get angry again if she saw him.
"How's she?" Dylan knitted his eyebrows at the triumph in his son's eyes.
"Mommy's fine. She hugged me and talked to me for a long time." Kaiden rolled his big watery eyes in exaltation.
Dylan's face relaxed a little. After a pause, he ordered Garwood to drive back to Beverly Hills.
"Don't you go in to see mommy?" Kaiden asked in surprise.
Dylan squinted at his clever son, shaking his head, "No."
He said no, but he still fixed his eyes on the window of that ward. Garwood sighed silently and drove off.
***
Since then, it had become the daily routine for Kaiden to visit Savannah in the hospital.
Every time he came, he would bring a lot of nutrients and flowers and stay for two or three hours.
If Savannah didn't ask him to leave, Kaiden would not leave until nightfall. Well, she was afraid that Dylan would come to pick his son if he stayed too late.
This evening, Kevin, who had just arrived at the hospital after work, met Kaiden in the corridor when the boy was about to leave.
Kevin pushed the door in, looking at the flowers and fruit baskets in the ward.
"Kaiden again?"
"Sorry, Kevin, I... I can't drive the boy away." Savannah cast down her eyes consciously.
Well, she had promised Kevin to cut off with the people and things before. She could give that man the cold shoulder or made a stranger of him, but she really could not treat Kaiden coldly.
He was her son. They were related by blood. How could she break off the relationship with her son so easily?
Kevin understood her, of course. Savannah was always a kind and unaffected girl.
"Don't worry. That man… Mr. Sterling didn't show up these days," Savannah added, "only Kaiden came to see me. I'm sure he won't pester me anymore."
Kevin was a little surprised that Dylan had not come since that morning.
Hopefully, the man could never bother her again after he learned of Savannah's situation.
Relieved at this thought, Kevin picked up an apple and smiled, "Those fruits came from Kaiden? I'll peel one for you."
"You're so nice," Savannah said sweetly.
Kevin took the apple to the tea room. Looking out of the window, he paused when he saw the familiar limousine at the gate of the hospital.
At the gate, the boy was carried into the car by Garwood.
The door was open, and a tall, familiar figure could be seen in the rear seat.
It was obvious that the luxury car had been waiting at the hospital gate for a long time.
So, Dylan accompanied Kaiden to the hospital every day?
However, he did not come in but silently waited outside...
Kevin's lips narrowed to a line. He never knew such a proud, and domineering man would have behaved so humbly.
Though that man was always powerful in the business area, he was more like a willful boy when it came to romantic affairs. He had been used to doing whatever he wanted to Savannah without considering her feelings.
But now, he changed his usual bossy manner, waiting quietly outside Savannah's ward, for fear of hurting her again.
Would he really let go of Savannah?
* * *
In the meantime, Kaiden took a peek at his father, who was fastening his seatbelt.
"Daddy, I saw mommy's pursuer when I just came out," Kaiden said as he studied Dylan's face, deliberately raising his voice.
He saw a young uncle coming to his mommy's ward before he left just now.
The uncle looked tall, handsome, and gentle. According to Garwood, this uncle was very close to mommy and had been accompanying her abroad for several years.
Is that uncle mommy's boyfriend?
