Chapter 5
As Daniel saw the woman in his arms showing no response, he reluctantly believed that she had
indeed fainted.
He carefully lifted her in his arms and strode toward the ward.
While Daniel was walking toward the ward, Alice’s face was pressed against his chest. Her breath was
faint. It awakened something within him.
For some reason, his heart raced.
As Aidy and Coco looked at Daniel’s back, they puffed up their cheeks and looked at their own little
arms.
Their little faces bore the same expression as they thought, “Why are we so small? We can’t carry
Miss.”
By the time Alice opened her eyes again, the view outside the window had transitioned from daytime to
nighttime.
A faint scent of milk filled the air by the bedside. The soft lighting cast a gentle glow on Alice’s face,
making her feel even more relaxed.
However, the next moment, Alice tensed up all over due to a voice she heard.
“Hey, you’re awake,” Daniel said. “Your chronic enteritis is acting up. You didn’t know, huh?”
As Daniel questioned with a cold tone, a strong sense of oppression spread throughout the dull ward.
Instinctively, Alice clenched her fist. She immediately sat up and looked defensively in the direction of
the voice.
Standing beside the hospital bed was a man. The surrounding light highlighted his slender figure and
well-built physique.
His face was exquisitely handsome, yet it lacked warmth or liveliness.
Daniel seemed displeased with her reaction. He leaned forward. His deep and penetrating eyes were
cold. Unmistakably, he was looking straight at her.
This kind of gaze had no trace of warmth, making people feel uncomfortable.
Alice instinctively rubbed her arms. As she thought of the children, she quickly spoke up to inquire.
“Sir, did you see a fair little boy who looks like a honey bun and another chubby boy that looks like a
sugar bun?” Alice asked.
Daniel thought, “Honey Bun… Sugar Bun…
“Are my sons seen as food in her eyes?
“Humph, I wonder if she’s a true foodie or just pretending to be innocent.
“Well, she had better not be pretending to be innocent. Otherwise…”
As his gaze shifted, he lifted his eyebrows. He turned around to look at the sofa and asked coldly,
“You’re talking about them,
huh?”
Seeing the children sitting safely on the small sofa, Alice breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly asked,
“Aidy, how is Benny doing now?”
“Don’t worry, Miss,” Aidy said as he nodded obediently. “Benny has already fallen asleep.”
Alice patted her chest. After that, she directed her gaze back at the man who was beside her.
Daniel’s enigmatic gaze felt like a web. It engulfed Alice almost entirely.
The coldness emanating from him caused Alice to have goosebumps. She then coughed involuntarily. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
When Aidy saw Daniel looking coldly at Alice, he said with a reproachful look and an expression of
discontent, “Daddy, how can you be to harsh to Miss?”
Daniel furfowed his brow and looked at his sons’ little faces. He helplessly explained, “I wasn’t being
harsh.” Then, he thought, “I just don’t trust her, and I want to see through her intentions.”
However, Aidy and Coco did not believe his explanation. Their little faces were filled with displeasure.
Daniel felt helpless.
Seeing that their father was downright clumsy in caring for Alice, Aidy and Coco exchanged glances.
Then, they nodded at each other and started taking action.
Aldy could be seen opening the thermal container on the table and carefully pouring out a bowl of hot
cereal. Then, he
looked at Coco.
Coco immediately went to the bathroom and took out a warm towel Then he took off his shoes and
climbed onto the had
Without waiting for Alice to say anything, he held her large hand with his chubby little hand and knelt
beside her/Then, he attentively wiped her fingers, palms, and the back of her hand.
