Chapter 39 Give Dad A Chance
Once the little children arrived at the hospital, they immediately crossed paths with Otto and Nina.
The four children were surprised to meet each other in such an unexpected way and indeed, one of them couldn’t resist. the urge to ask about their mother’s condition.
“Otto, tell me quickly. What happened? Why did Mommy faint and was admitted to the hospital?” Lucas asked anxiously.
On the way here, he was so worried that Aunt Daisy would discover their secrets so he held back his urge to ask but now that they were all present with no one else around, he felt at ease.
Lyla was also worried that her brown eyes were red. “How is Mommy now? Is it serious? Is she sick? Can we go see her?” She asked in a small voice.
“I went to inquire just now. Mommy just fainted, and there is nothing serious about her health. But right now, Dad is in the ward, and we will be discovered if we go in there!” Otto said in a calm and gentle tone which soothed the siblings’ anxiety.
Lyla felt better. At such a time like this, some words of comfort were helpful. She blinked her watery eyes and said, “Really?”
“Really.” He nodded his head.
Seeing this, Nina breathed a sigh of relief and said again, “Now, can you tell me what happened?”
Otto nodded and recounted the event of Daddy and Mommy’s recent collaboration. “It was last night, and they were both in the elevator, working together on a project. Suddenly, the power went out, and the elevator stopped dead in its tracks!”
The others leaned in, their eyes wide with curiosity. “What happened next?” they asked in unison.
“Well, unfortunately, there were no cameras inside the elevator, so we don’t know exactly what went down,” Otto continued. “But when the power finally came back on, Mommy had passed out! Can you believe it?”
The others gasped in shock, and Otto’s voice grew quieter as he spoke. “It was really scary, you guys. We’re just lucky they were able to get out in time.”
After he finished speaking, he told them he was worried that the two of them might blame Daddy for this matter!
Nina was also very worried as she and Otto originally wanted to persuade them to match up with Daddy and Mommy. But before they could make their first move, their parents were involved in an accident and it made Lyla and Lucas grow more distant from their Daddy.
No one knew if Lucas and Lyla would deepen the misunderstanding of Daddy, Nina thought and took out her little spiral notebook. She wrote: Daddy doesn’t have the habit of beating people, so he probably wouldn’t do anything to Mommy.
Lucas glanced at the words and knew that Nina had misunderstood.
He patted her on the head and said with a smile, “I know it’s not his fault, it’s Mommy’s fault.”
Otto and Nina were a little puzzled after hearing him. They assumed he would blame Daddy.
Lyla spoke in her baby voice and explained childishly, “Mummy is very afraid of the dark. If she stays in a dark space, her mood will become unstable. This should be the cause of her fainting.”
Upon hearing this, the others became a little puzzled, but Otto understood right away!
This was probably a kind of mental illness their Mummy might be experiencing.
Before Nina came back after being kidnapped, she didn’t like to be in contact with people she didn’t know well.
The psychiatrist in charge of the treatment said that it was a psychological problem and in order to help her understand her problem, he showed her some examples of what happened if one was afraid of the dark.
“So that’s how it is.” Otto suddenly realized. “No wonder Mommy fainted!”
“Then what should we do now? Daddy is still in the ward, so we can’t visit Mommy.” Lucas frowned, not knowing what to do for a while.
“I came here in a hurry just now, and I was worried about Mommy in my heart, so I didn’t think too much about it!”
After pondering for a while, he finally spoke, “Since we’re near the ward, we should find a place to guard, wait for Mommy to wake up and make sure she’s all right, then make plans.”
The other three little ones nodded after listening.
“Agreed.”
Soon, the four of them came to the stairway next to Aletta’s ward and sat and waited.
Very few people took the stairs, so they were not worried about being discovered.
While waiting, Otto’s big eyes rolled and he took the opportunity to ask, “Lucas, Lyla, can I ask you a question?”
Lucas and Lyla looked at him and nodded. “What’s the problem? Tell us.”
Otto considered for a moment, and said, “You… have you ever thought about letting Daddy and Mommy get back together? Let our family be reunited?”
Lucas and Lyla were taken aback at the same time when they heard the words, and then asked Otto, “You… how come you have such an idea?”
“I’m thinking, if we become a family one day, we don’t need to meet in secret and we don’t need to hide here worrying about Mommy, not daring to show up.”
Otto’s face looked grim. “Nina and I really hope that Dad, Mom, Lucas, and Lyla can be together forever.”
Nina nodded her head beside him. Her expression was very solemn.
Lucas frowned. He remained silent for a moment and said, “Otto, I can understand what you and Nina are thinking, but sucher I’m afraid this matter is not that simple! First of all, Dad doesn’t like Momat all! Back then, he divorced Mom for Ms. Rogers made Mommy sad for a long time!,Secondly, Mommy doesn’t plan to get back together with Daddy right now. If we try to bring them together, it might make Mommy unhappy. I don’t want to do this…”
“Yes, Dad is bad and bullies Mummy! I can’t forgive him!” Lyla angrily seconded the proposal.
After listening to them, Otto’s gaze lowered. Lucas and Lyla really don’t like their Daddy!
Otto maintained his composure and said, “Lucas, Lyla, Dad did something wrong before! But, I think… he might not like Mommy. In fact, this time the two companies cooperated and it was because of Dad. He took the initiative! I heard it with my own ears when I passed by his study room last time. Also, he doesn’t like Ms. Rogers either! It’s Grandma who likes her and has always wanted to push her to Dad… Dad doesn’t even want to marry her!”
“Are you sure? He has no feelings for that woman?” Lucas didn’t seem to believe it.
Otto looked affirmative. “Yes! According to Dad’s temperament, if he really likes her, he would have married her a long time ago and wouldn’t delay the marriage! So… I want to ask you and Lyla to give Dad another opportunity! He hurt Mom before, let him make up for Mom slowly!
Before that, let’s create more opportunities for them to get along.”
Speaking of this, Otto paused and said, “Nina and I have never had a mommy since we were young, and we have always wanted one in our hearts. I think my brother and Lyla, like us, have always longed for a dad. Instead of letting people who don’t like us become our stepmothers and
stepfathers, it’s better to recognize the original ones! What do you think?”
As Lucas and Lyla listened, they fell into silence. As Otto said, they really longed for a daddy in their hearts.
In the past, when Lucas was abroad, he was often ridiculed by children of the same age as a wild child without a father. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Later, they found out about Daddy’s existence, and because they didn’t want to break Mom’s heart, they deliberately didn’t mention it.
In fact, they also wanted to have a normal family and someone who could protect and love her forever
“Lucas and Lyla, do you really hate your Dad that much?” Nina held up a small notebook and wrote the question.
Lucas and Lyla hesitated for a while, then shook their heads. “Actually…we don’t really hate him. We think he’s okay.”
Although they disliked him, they found him easily approachable and fun to get along with. He was not as disgusting as they thought.
Nina’s eyes lit up, and she immediately buried herself in her writing. “In this case, then give Dad a chance to see if he is qualified. And then decide whether to accept him, okay?”
She held up the notebook again and showed it to them.
Otto continued, “Lucas and Lyla, do you really want to watch Ms. Rogers marry Daddy?”
