Chapter 717: So Soft
Chapter 717: So Soft
When Amora finally got back to the ward, her eyes were downcast the entire time.
She didn't even dare to lift her eyes, afraid that Kane would chase both her and Vivian out of the room.
I know I have caused some blunders amid the panic.
I have intended to leave him with a good impression, but who would have known things would turn out this way.
"Mr.Ronin, I'm sorry for the mess.
Today is the weekend, so the school is closed.
And I have to bring Vivian with me.
I didn't expect the situation would turn into chaos.
I'm really sorry."
The frown on his face was still there since he returned to his ward, so she apologized again.
However, Kane didn't acknowledge her.
He didn't even spare her a glance. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
His gaze was fixed intently on the child in his lap.
Amora quickly shut her mouth.
"Get down."
"Why? Uncle Kane, did I accidentally touch your injured arm? I'll blow it for you.
You'll feel much better."
And so, Vivian, with drool hanging from her mouth, started blowing intently on Kane's bandaged arm.
Her cheeks were round like a pufferfish's as she did that.
Kane merely looked at her.
The corner of his eye twitched.
He was unwilling to admit that at that moment, the small child had melted a cold and hard corner of his heart into a puddle.
"Does it still hurt?"
asked Vivian as she raised her head, looking puzzledly at Kane, Her round cheeks tinged with soft pink gave her a beautiful doll-like appearance.
The corner of Kane's eye twitched again.
He had wanted to order her to get off him with saliva all over his body, but after seeing the child's adorably naive expression, he kept his mouth sealed.
Like mother, like daughter.
"Dr.West, your patient's medicine is ready.
Remember to pick it up."
"Sure!"
Amora replied as she worriedly watched the scene in front of her unfold.
This is an unexpected surprise.
I thought Kane would hate children even more due to that experience.
I was prepared to catch Vivian if he decided to fling her onto the floor.
Unexpectedly, the brave Vivian managed to settle him down.
"Mr.Ronin, could you please watch my child for a moment? I need to pick up your medication.
Thank you very much."
Amora rushed out the door as soon as the words were out of her mouth.
Kane couldn't manage to give her a response in time.
He felt a flicker of irritation.
His temple started to throb.
Vivian didnt notice Kane's mood change because her gaze was locked on the orange on the bedside table.
She was hungry as she hadn't eaten anything since she came back.
"What are you looking at?"
"Uncle Kane, I want to eat that"
Vivian tried her best to stretch out her arm to reach for the orange in the fruit basket.
Kane's heart softened at her trying so hard.
He remembered he didn't have a child.
But this soft and chubby child on his lap, with a baby voice and milk scent, was starting to melt his heart.
The rage and viciousness in him began to dim and slowly fade away.
"Don't move.
I'll get it for you."
Kane helped her grab the orange, even though his arm hurts from his injury.
Vivian was bursting with joy with the orange in hand.
Daddy still loves me.
He helped me grab the orange despite his arm still hurting.
Vivian then proceeded to peel the orange intently.
She offered Kane a peel of the orange with her chubby fingers.
"Uncle Kane, have some."
"I don't want it."
Kane rejected without a second of thought.
However, Vivian was a quirky girl.
Instead of feeling dejected, she stuffed the orange into his mouth when he rejected her.
Kane was dumbfounded at her action, with a piece of orange in his mouth.
"Teacher had taught us that good children will share their food with their friends."
Vivian continued to munch on the orange.
The orange is so sweet.
Kane stiffened.
As the sweetness of orange filled his entire mouth, he savored it.
The entire scene was heartwarming despite Kane not having any memory of Vivian being his daughter.
However, if one looked closely, his eyes had softened as though the sun's rays had finally shined their warmth into a dark and frozen land.
Even though his heart hadn't melted completely, but it was much better than how he used to be.
It was what Amora saw through the window when she came back from picking up his medication.
Suddenly, she felt her eyes were about to tear up, so she quickly turned around and covered her mouth as tears started streaming down her face.
I can finally see some hope.
How wonderful! After calming herself down, she left after one final glance at the father and daughter.
She didn't want to bother them and hoped they could be together for a little longer.
It would be beneficial for Kane if their relationship deepens.
