“Vivi, I made this yummy cake especially for you.”
“I am not eating it now. I want to find someone to help Uncle Sebastian. He is sick.”
Vivian always loved to eat so it was unusual for her to refrain from munching on this fragrant dessert and go searching for Aunt Sabrina while hugging her doll.
Seeing this, Kira began to understand.
Is he sick?
He is probably showing withdrawal symptoms from his drug addiction.
She quickly gathered Vivian in her arms. “It’s all right. Your Uncle Sebastian can call the doctor from here. There’s a bell, you see? They’ll be here really quickly.”
“Is that so?”
The little girl looked at her doubtfully.
Kira did not try to explain further, but hugged her and waited there. After a few minutes, a doctor in a white coat really did come out of the elevator and rushed into the bedroom.
Only then did Kira look at the little girl again.
“Did you see that? Ms. Woods told you the truth.”
“Yeah!”
Vivian was finally convinced.
Then, she picked up the cake Kira had brought for her.
Sensing that it was a good opportunity, Kira started questioning, “By the way, Vivi, did you know Aunt Sabrina a long time ago?”
“Hmm?”
Even though she had brought the cake to her lips, Vivian stopped short of eating it.
Why is Ms. Woods asking this question?
Aunt Sabrina had told her that she must not tell anyone here that they are really relatives or say that they know each other.
With her big pretty eyes, the little girl gazed at this Ms. Woods who had come especially to bring her a snack.
“Oh, I don’t know her. I’ve never met her before.”
“Huh?”
Kira was waiting expectantly for the reply and so the reply she received was totally disappointing.
She gazed at her and asked again, “You really don’t know her? Then why did she pick you up from the airport?”
Vivian was speechless.
This Ms. Woods is really a bad person. She is a stalker who secretly watched us at the airport.
After having been warned by Aunt Sabrina, the yummy cake was suddenly no longer fragrant to the little girl.
“I don’t know, I really don’t know… Boo hoo hoo… I want my uncle, I want Uncle Sebastian!”
Suddenly she started bawling and her tears fell pitter-patter. Pushing away this bad Ms. Woods, she ran outside.
Kira was dumbfounded.
She wanted to go after her, catch her and find out the truth but it was too late. Sabrina who had heard the sound of Sebastian’s withdrawal symptoms had just come out of the lift.
“Kira, why are you here?”
Sabrina’s anger rose just as her pretty eyebrows were raised the moment she saw Kira squatting at the door with a cake on a plate when the elevator door opened.
Kira had not expected her to appear so suddenly.
In that moment of shock, she almost lost her balance.
“I-I heard that Dr. West’s daughter is here, so I made some snacks for her,” she explained anxiously.
Snacks?
Sabrina did not believe her at all.
However, at this moment, Vivian had returned to Daddy’s room and was crying outside as if her heart was breaking.
Seeing that, Sabrina glared angrily at Kira and warned her, “I’m warning you, leave the child alone or else, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that, she rushed to the child.
Kira was left there, motionless for a long time. She stared into the distance, seeing red!
Sabrina, you won’t be so proud for long!
Two hours passed by before Sebastian calmed down. Following that, Sabrina who was outside all the while came in bringing the child with her.
As Sabrina came in and saw the exhausted man lying in bed, she could not help asking with her voice full of worry, “Doctor, why did it take so long this time for him to calm down? He got over it quite quickly the last time.”
Yes, the last time, I had used Sasha’s singing to comfort him and he quietened down very quickly.
Why is it that this time…?
“I find it rather strange, too. These few days, his condition has been good. I don’t understand either why this time, it took so long. I’ll take a sample of his blood for testing.”
As the doctor spoke, he put a sample of Sebastian’s blood which he had drawn earlier into his bag.
Sabrina watched in silence.
“Aunt Sabrina, D-D-Dad… Uncle Sebastian is very sick, isn’t he? Is he going to die?”
The little girl in her arms suddenly spoke. She looked at Daddy with tears in her eyes, and her childish voice was full of sadness.
When she heard the child speak, Sabrina stopped talking to the doctor and turned to comfort her.
“No, no, Uncle Sebastian is sure to get well. You heard the doctor say he’s sick but after taking medicine and an injection, he’ll recover.”
“is that true?”
Vivian seemed to doubt her words.
If only Mommy is here. She is the most awesome doctor.
Vivian suddenly thought of this.
So, a few minutes later, when Sabrina went with the doctor to get the prescription, the little girl picked up the phone her Daddy left on the table.
Vivian was a smart little girl. The screen of the phone was locked. So, she brought it to the bed, grabbed Daddy’s big hand, and tried pressing his fingers on the phone, one by one.
When the screen was unlocked, she quickly called Mommy.
