Chapter 781 Are You Scared?
Alain and Louis walked out of Mr. Berger's chamber side by side, and Alain broke the silence first.
"Are you going back?"
"Does King Ducasse need me for something?" Louis glanced at Alain with a clear question in hisblue eyes.
Alain shook his head slightly; his magnetic voice coming from lips. "No, I'm afraid your peace will bedisturbed if you go back."
"In that case, can I stay at your place for a few days?" Louis remembered the phone call from hismother today and rubbed his forehead irritably. She knew he was back and was probably alreadyhome. If he went back now, there would surely be some trouble.
It would be better to stay in the palace and say that King Ducasse needed him for something.
Thinking this way, Louis sighed helplessly without saying anything.
Alain nodded. "Okay then. Since you're my buddy, I'll arrange for you to stay in the West Wing. I'lltake care of everything else."
He couldn't marry the woman he loved but could help his buddy find happiness instead.
Louis looked gratefully at Alain.
"Thank you, King Ducasse."
"We don't need to say these things between us," said Alain calmly before they started talking aboutother things again.
...
Nighttime in Odonstin.
Jane was feeding Vivian inside their hospital room.
She hadn't seen Louis all day except for earlier this morning; she didn't know where he went butknew that he made arrangements for her which were very well thought out.
There were over ten people guarding each exit outside their room just so Vivian wouldn't get tooagitated again.
In addition to this, three meals were delivered daily by someone, all exquisite dishes worth quite abit of money.
Vivian smiled as she sipped on pork rib soup while squinting her eyes closed with enjoyment."Mommy! This soup is really good! You should try it!"
"All right then," Jane patiently coaxed Vivian into eating more food because she believed eatingmore might make Vivian feel better physically.
From the panic of waking up earlier to now, Vivian was completely convinced that her mommywouldn't leave her anymore.
She just wanted her mommy to stay with her.
Soon, Vivian touched her little belly and smiled, "Mommy, look! I am full."
"Then it's my turn to eat. Vivian, do you want to continue drawing or watch TV?"
Jane's voice was gentle and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Vivian looked at her mommy and reached out a small hand, tugging on Jane's sleeve in an attemptto please her.
"Mommy, can I feed you?"
"Feed me?"
Jane looked shocked at the still pale little girl on the bed and asked in confusion.
Vivian nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Usually, you feed me. But today, I want to try feedingyou and see how it feels."
When Jane heard this, she softened again.
"Well then. Today you will feed me."
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this. She eagerly picked up the small spoon from the shelfand scooped some soup before feeding it to Jane.
After successfully eating some food, Jane closed her eyes contentedly.
"Mmm... The food that Vivian fed me is really delicious."
Vivian looked at Jane with shining eyes happily saying, "Then I'll feed you more often from now on!"
"That sounds good," replied Jane gently as she let Vivian continue feeding her.
In the past, for treatment fees for Vivian's illness, she spent very little time each day focused solelyon Vivian.
But things were different now; all of Jane's attention was devoted entirely towards taking care ofVivian. She wanted nothing more than being by Vivian's side all day long without going anywhereelse.
As for Vivian's illness, she believed Louis would do what he promised .
At this moment, even Jane herself didn't know why she trusted Louis so much...
...
Time slipped away. Two days passed in a blink.novelbin
Two days later, Louis successfully brought Mr. Berger over Odonstin .
When they both came in, Jane was telling stories to Vivian.
"This big lion..."
Jane stopped talking abruptly when Louis walked in.
When Vivian saw Louis, her eyes brightened up and she exclaimed excitedly, "Uncle Louis!"
At first, she was afraid that Uncle Louis would take Mommy away and abandon her. But afterspending these past few days together, the little girl was sure that Mommy wouldn't leave her.
And Uncle Louis had been bringing them all sorts of delicious food these past few days, so shethought he was very nice, better than the other uncles who were pursuing Mommy.
When Louis heard the little girl's soft voice, his emotions became complicated for a moment. After awhile, he suppressed his complex feelings and responded in a deep voice, "Hmm."
Mr. Berger, who was following behind Louis, couldn't help but glance at Louis before turning to lookat the child.
He clearly felt that Louis didn't like this child very much. But strangely enough, Louis had come tohim because of this child. Why?
Just as Mr. Berger was puzzled, Vivian's confused gaze fell on him.
Why did this old man come with Uncle Louis?
Jane immediately stood up when she realized what was happening and looked at Louis withreddened ears. "You're back."
"Hmm, this is Mr. Berger," said Louis as he looked at Jane softly; it was completely different fromhow he faced Vivian earlier.
Standing next to him, Mr. Berger saw everything clearly and understood why Louis had asked himto save an unrelated child. Louis must have fallen for the child's mother.
But Louis was a count. If he married a divorced woman with a daughter, his mother would raisestrong objections.
Mr. Berger thought about this and smiled meaningfully.
He knew Louis was not someone who easily compromised.
In the next second, Mr. Berger's thoughts were interrupted by Jane. "Mr. Berger, would you likesome water?"
"No need," replied Mr. Berger kindly. He smiled and walked towards Vivian.
Vivian noticed the old man staring at her and shrank back timidly, calling out sweetly, "Hello, Mr.Berger. My name is Vivian."
"Don't be afraid, Vivian. I'm not a bad person," Mr. Berger said with a kind smile.
Vivian didn't know why the old man kept staring at her, but out of politeness, she nodded gently andsmiled brightly.
"Mr. Berger, you're very cute. I'm not scared," she said.
Mr. Berger was slightly taken aback by the little girl's compliment. He never expected to be calledcute by a four-year-old girl. However, this little girl seemed interesting to him.
"You're also very cute. I haven't met someone as adorable as you in a long time," he replied withdelight.
Louis saw this scene unfold and his eyes widened in surprise. He never expected Vivian to win overMr. Berger's heart so quickly but it was good news because that meant there was hope for her yet.
His Jane wouldn't have to worry about Vivian anymore either.
Just then, Jane walked up to Louis, looking puzzled and whispered softly into his ear, "Is Mr. Bergeryour dad?"
As soon as she finished speaking those words, Mr. Berger who had been sitting nearby snortedbefore saying irritably, "I don't have such an unfilial son like him."
If that were his son, he would've been pissed off already!
He preferred Vivian, a lively and lovely little girl!
Louis coughed awkwardly before explaining in a low voice, "Mr. Berger is Z Country's best doctor; Iinvited him here to treat Vivian."
Jane's mind exploded when she heard this explanation; for a moment she stood there, stunned, notknowing what to do next.
Just then, Mr. Berger turned around, smiling warmly at Jane and asking teasingly, "What? Are youscared?"
Before Jane could reply, Vivian anxiously asked, "Mr. Berger, can my illness be cured?"
