Chapter 155 The Kindhearted Man Is His Father
Stefan had seen him twice. Once they met at the airport; Another time in front of the Doyle Group'sBuilding. He remembered... At the airport, the child got in his way. At that moment, he felt a sense offamiliarity. It turned out that Jimmy was his child. At present, Stefan was filled with a myriad of thoughts and ideas. Jimmy, however, was bewildered. The kindhearted gentleman? Why was he here? Did he know of Jimmy's illness and come to see him? Jimmy looked up at Martha. When he was about to ask her something, the clever kid understoodsuddenly. It should be his father to come here... Was the kind-hearted gentleman his father? Martha noticed his bewilderment, nodded at him, and smiled resignedly. When Jimmy got the answer, the expectation faded from his eyes. He pursed his lips sullenly, and turned to bury his face in her bosom with his hand on her sleeve. Itwas as if he did not want to see Stefan. The gleam of expectation in Stefan's eyes had faded, too. He thought that the child might be familiar with him since they had met twice. However, the little boy was even unwilling to give him a glance. Stefan felt deeply hurt and stopped, losing his courage to step forward. Now, Jimmy remained silent and didn't look up. Martha sensed his depression and guessed Jimmy might be disappointed. Or. Perhaps he wasfrustrated that his father was someone he had seen before, and thus his pleasant surprise turned tofear.
But it was a fact. Whether Jimmy felt disappointed about it or not, Stefan was his real father. She patted Jimmy gently on the back and allowed him to adjust his mood. Stefan, who had stiffened, saw Martha comforting their child and realized that he should not standby. The boy was his child whom he felt extremely guilty for... But Stefan had scarcely taken a step forward when Martha gave him a cold glance, which evidentlymeant a warning not to come nearer. Jimmy was unwilling to accept it now, and she wanted him to calm down. The courage regained by Stefan collapsed. He was about to say something but failed to utter even a word. His child... was not willing to see him. Finally, he chose to keep a distance from Jimmy and obeyed Martha and left the ward. When the door was closed, Stefan leaned feebly against a wall; His face betrayed his dismay. He had seen Jimmy twice, but did not recognize his child. He... He ignored him each time, even leaving him alone in the police station. How ridiculous! He left his son, a four-year-old boy, alone. He thought he was really the scum! Stefan closed his eyes heavily. His son must hate him very much. In the ward -- Martha patted Jimmy's back and whispered, "Hey, Jimmy. He's left. Will you still act like an ostrich?" Jimmy stayed put for a while, and soon disengaged himself from his mother's embrace. Martha couldn't help but chuckle when she saw there were tears standing in Jimmy's eyes. It was as if he had just suffered a great grievance. "What's wrong? You are longing to see him, aren't you?" Jimmy shook his head repeatedly, pursed his lips, and said no more. Jimmy tried hard not to cry, which made Martha feel a bit heartache for him; At the same time, shefound it a bit funny. Oh, her little boy.
She stroked Jimmy's hair and asked softly, "Jimmy... are you disappointed?" novelbin
