Chapter 8
Sharon recovered. Her heart was beating hard, and her ears were warm. She quickly lowered her head and bit her lips. She felt annoyed.
Simon felt a pinch in his heart when he saw her in such a state. Once again, he managed to catch hold of the scent from her body that he had wanted to smell all this while.
His gaze that was on her changed to a more meticulous one.
The atmosphere between them was not like how it used to be. All of a sudden, there were footsteps approaching them.
"Shar, have you gotten the medication?" Riley and Sebastian had been waiting in the ward for some time, and thus, Riley decided to look for Sharon after noticing the latter had not returned for some time.
Sharon suppressed the emotions dwelling within her. 'This is terrible, how could I forget about my son?'
"Yeah, I got it. How's Sebastian?"
"He's slightly better, but the doctor said he still needs to consume the medication." Riley looked at the tall and cold man beside her. Her eyes began to gleam with excitement, "Isn't this your boss, Shar? Why is he here as well?"
'I wasn't expecting Simon to be so much more handsome than how he looks on television. However, this man gives off a vibe that makes it hard for anyone to approach him.'
Sharon was not in a position to continue speaking to Simon. Thus, she said politely, "President Zachary, I guess I'll head back to look at my son."
Subsequently, she left the scene with Riley.
The man said surprisingly, "I'll come and take a look at him."
Sharon was stunned. "That... that's not necessary." It was a given that she would find it weird.
'Isn't he being too kind?'
It was as if he had not heard her reject him as he raised his long legs and began striding forward. "Which ward?" he asked in a posture that did not permit any rejection.
Sharon bit her lips. "President Zachary, don't you have anything else to do?"
"The doctor is attending to my father, so I have some spare time," he said casually.
Only then did Sharon come to know his reason for visiting the hospital. While she was hesitant, Riley, on the other hand, displayed a friendly front and led the way. "Simply take a turn straight ahead. Just follow us."
Riley said before she pulled Sharon and walked forward.
Sharon glanced at her and whispered, "Don't do anything stupid, Riley."
Riley was not bothered by it. "Why are you so nervous? Just take it as a superior being concerned about his underlings."
Sharon could not reject him. In the end, she led Simon to the ward.
Sebastian was frowning and was laying on the hospital bed. The moment he saw that his mother had returned, his eyes began to gleam lively. "Mommy, you're finally back."
Additionally, when he saw Simon, who had come in from behind, his gloomy expression became even more lively. "Hmm? Why is bad uncle here as well?"
He had knocked into Simon at the airport that day. Back then, the latter had worn a cold and expressionless look when faced with them. Hence, the little kid greeted him as bad uncle.
Sharon wore an awkward expression. She looked at the man, whom no one could make out his emotions, and said to her son, "Sebastian, this uncle is my boss. You should call him uncle Zachary."
Sebastian glanced at the bad uncle whose face still did not have any expression, "Such a coincidence? What's he doing here then?"
Simon strolled over toward the hospital bed and said in a way that seemed very gentle, "I heard that you weren't feeling well. So, I came here to visit you." He looked at the boy before him with a sharp gaze. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt. Moreover, the suspicion within him merely grew stronger.
Sebastian glanced at him, unbelieving that he was that kind. 'It must be because I stained his pants with ice cream that day and made him unhappy. Hence, he's here on purpose to make fun of me.'
"I'm fine. I don't need any visitors." The little kid purposely put on an unsatisfied look. He even sat up straight as if he wanted to prove he was alright.
However, next instance, the little kid's stomach growled. Consequently, his little face could no longer hold in his emotions.
Nevertheless, in order not to be made fun of, he continued to wear a serious look.
Simon's lips curled upward when he saw his expression. "Just say so if you're not feeling well. I won't make fun of you." He could see through the mind of the little kid. After he was done talking, he tapped Sebastian's shoulder intentionally.
"I... I'm not feeling uncomfortable!" Sebastian's face turned bright pink. He was determined not to admit defeat. He would not allow anyone to make fun of him! Sharon sighed to herself when she saw her son behaving in such a manner. 'I wonder whose temper he got?'
"For the time being, eat the medicine." Sharon handed some medicine and a cup of water in front of the little kid.
Sebastian immediately took the medicine and swallowed it before washing it down with a big mouthful of water.
"Slow down." Sharon gently tapped his back.
Simon stood beside them and smiled without saying a word.
Riley looked at the three of them and developed an illusion. 'They are a family of three!'
Not to mention, she noticed that Sebastian and Simon looked really alike!noveldrama
After the little kid had eaten the medicine, Sharon made him lie down to get some rest.
She turned around and realized that Simon was staring at her son. She was unsure of his expression, and it made her heart feel as if it was being clenched.
At that moment, someone came rushing in. "Uncle, how's my grandpa?"
Sharon frowned. 'Is it Howard?'
