Chapter 10

Even so, I still felt that my heart was beating fast. I was so nervous that I subconsciously glanced at Penn beside me.

My first reaction is that I'm afraid that Penn will know the existence of the two babies.

Penn's face was as dark as a pan, and his eyes were even colder.

Clayton smiled and said, "Aimee, are you married?"

I was in a mess and nodded casually.

Clayton sighed with a smile, "I can't believe that you even have a child."

"I'm sorry. I have to go out and answer the phone."

Then I walked out of the room without looking back at Penn.

When I came out of the room, I carefully lowered my voice and said to the two children on the other end of the line, "good girl, Mommy is still treating the patient. I have to go back later. You can play with godmother for a while."

The two kids agreed obediently.

Penn's POV

Lundy tried to grab Aimee's hand but failed. The word "mommy" repeated in my mind

No wonder she was so cold when I saw Lundy.

It turned out that this woman had been married and even had a child with another man!

That was why she abandoned her child!

I looked down at my son who was still standing there.

It was hard to hide the disappointment on the little guy's face, but when he saw the woman go out, he still raised his eyes and stared at the door, waiting for her to come back.

This scene stung my heart.

So what if she came back? That woman still wouldn't want a child!

I strode to Lundy and bent over to pick him up.

Lundy looked at me blankly and tugged at my collar to show that he didn't want to be held by me.

But I pretended that I didn't notice it. I said to Clayton coldly, "it's getting late. I'll take Lundy back first. If Mr. Sharp wakes up, tell me and I'll come to see him another day."

After saying that, he strode away with Lundy in his arms before Clayton could react.

As soon as they got into the car, Lundy anxiously wrote a series of words on his notebook and tugged at the corner of my clothes.

"I haven't talked to Auntie yet. Let's not go, okay?"

My heart was in a mess and I frowned slightly.

With concern in her eyes, Lundy wrote, "what's wrong with daddy? Why are you unhappy?

"What do you want to say to her? You'd better pretend that you don't know her and don't have any contact with her."

Since that woman doesn't want to admit her son, I will just do as she wishes!

Lundy was stunned for a few seconds before he reluctantly curled his lips and wrote on the notebook, "why?

Before I could answer, he quickly wrote, "I like Auntie very much. She is very nice and gentle to me. I want to be with her!"

The little boy's straightforward love made me feel sorry for him, but I had to face the reality. I said expressionlessly, "because she has her own child. She doesn't need to have one more child."

Lundy's eyes were full of confusion.

Seeing the little guy quiet down, I ordered my assistant to start the car and leave the Sharp's mansion.

On the way, my clothes were pulled.

I frowned and looked over.

"Then where is my mommy?"

Lundy looked at me with grievance and confusion.

The words stung my eyes. I looked away awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

Lundy asked me where his mother was.

I do know the answer.

But how could I tell him this cruel fact?

That woman had already had a new family. Even if her own son was in front of her, she had never thought of recognizing him

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I didn't say anything for a long time.

Looking at Lundy, who had been looking at me eagerly, I gritted my teeth and said unhappily, "I don't know. I don't know where she is. Don't ask this question again! It's enough that you have a daddy. You don't need Mommy!"

Lundy looked at me blankly for a few seconds before she slowly put away her notebook and lowered her head without saying anything.

He didn't talk to me until we got home.

Aimee's POV

After the phone call, I saw Penn leave with Lundy in his arms.

Clayton and I talked about Felton's condition for a while. It was about time for us to go to Felton's room. Erica followed them.

After the incense was burnt out, I checked the pulse of Felton and began to pack up my tools calmly.

Clayton and Erica two stood beside the bed, looking worried.

Soon, Felton's fingers curled up slightly.

The next second, Felton opened his eyes slowly and coughed weakly, frowning.

"Grandpa!"

Clayton quickly sat down and comforted old master. His eyes were full of shock and joy.

Erica was too shocked to speak.

"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Clayton asked with concern when Felton stopped coughing.

Felton nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "how long have I slept?"

Seeing that they were so excited, I packed up my things and walked over. "Mr. Sharp is in a bad condition now. It's not appropriate to talk too much. Let him have a good rest."

Hearing this, Clayton nodded and carefully let old master lie down.

Then he stood up and thanked me, "Aimee, thank you so much. We suspected you before. I apologize for our ignorance. It's our fault. We are short-sighted."

I took it calmly and then turned to warn him, "i old master's health is still not looking good. If he wants to completely recover, he needs to be treated at least six or seven times."

Clayton nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, I will make some other incense for old master to help him recover. After all, old master's health condition is too serious. Later treatment requires some physical strength, and I'm afraid he can't hold on."

I continued.

Clayton nodded and said, "don't worry. We will listen to you and cooperate with you in the treatment of my grandfather!"

I nodded slightly and said to Clayton, "I'll make the incense and send it to you later. You can have a lavender at noon and at night every day."

Then I picked up a pen and paper and wrote a prescription for him. "Take ten sets of the prescription back according to the amount of this prescription. Put them in the soup or porridge every day to cook, and make them into medicinal meals. Feed old master on time. It can speed up the recovery of old master."

Clayton replied, "Okay, we will abide by our will!"

Thinking that there were still two kids waiting at home, I stood up and said, "it's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll come back tomorrow. During this period, if old master feels uncomfortable, you can contact me."

Then she walked towards the door with her bag.

Clayton stopped me and said, "Aimee, apart from treating my grandfather, is there anything else you want to do here?"

Hearing this, I stopped and suddenly thought of the purpose of my trip.

But Felton didn't fully recover,

Clayton slowed down and said slowly, "don't you want to talk before you leave?"

What Clayton meant was obvious.

Although I didn't mention the supply of materials, he was very clear about my purpose and even wanted to talk to me.

But I didn't dare to hesitate to accept the salary.

After all, the Sharp family once said that the Felton would be sold at half price only after the old master was cured.
