"Okay! I'll find someone else who'd like to take me." Justin glanced over the room and finally settled on Duke, his eyes flashing a cunning smile.
"Justin, don't even think about it. Although I can provide the food you want, your mischievousness is unpredictable, I don't know what else you'll demand from me. You'd better go back to where you belong! I don't want my home to become the trial base for your destruction."
Duke made himself clear before Justin said anything. Duke wasn't an idle man who had time to find trouble for himself. He decided to keep a distance from the wicked boy immediately. He was already in trouble, he wasn't in the mood to deal with Justin now. Justin pursed his lips and sniffled, pretending to be hurt. He suddenly turned around and ran towards Edward. He threw himself into Edward's arms, regardless of everything. The cream on the corner of his mouth fell on Edward's black shirt as he cried bitterly, "Dad, they all hate me! Since you're my dad, promise that you won't abandon me like they did." Justin tucked his head on Edward's shoulder, rubbing his head like a spoiled child. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had irritated Edward earlier.
"You finally realize that I'm the best. But why did you help someone anger me earlier?" Edward frowned. He patted Justin's back in comfort while despairing of his new shirt that Justin had just ruined. When he mentioned "someone, " he glanced at Daisy.
"I'm sorry! Dad, you're the best father in the world. I promise I won't make you angry anymore." Everyone present thought that Justin was such a brown-noser. They wondered why such an intelligent man like Edward would accept such flattery. What a strange world! Daisy smiled. It surprised her to see Edward holding a grudge for such a trifling thing. She'd never seen this childish side of Edward before. She thought that an arrogant and noble man like Edward would always look superior and be cool about everything. But Daisy thought that Edward seemed narrow-minded by saying that.
While everybody was enjoying themselves, a piercing ringing suddenly filled the room. The creepy ringtone was the kind of music in the horror movies, shocking everyone into silence. They turned to the direction of the ringing.
When they finally pinpointed the person responsible, they were horrified. Wasn't he worried that such a ringtone would frighten the already fragile patients in the hospital? Or was he doing it on purpose so he could charge fees for saving them when they fainted? It was really a dirty business. This must be how they made money in hospital.
"Sorry, I have to take this call." Under the pressure of being the center of everyone's attention, Tom took out his phone from his pocket and pretended to look embarrassed. But when he saw the name on the screen, he unwittingly frowned and wondered why she was calling him so late.
Everyone shot him a disapproving look at his apology, but when they heard the name Tom spoke on the phone, they focused their attention on him again. Tom had to continue talking on the phone despite knowing that everyone was staring at him.
"Yes! Okay, I'll go there right now. Send me the address." Tom hung up the phone under everyone's prying eyes. At the same time, he hurriedly prepared to leave.
"What happened to Leena?" asked Duke who slavishly doted on his sister. Wasn't Kevin at home? Did anything bad happen to Leena? Duke looked deeply concerned.
"Her hand got burned during cooking, and it seems a little serious. You know that she can't stand the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. I have to go to her place myself. You enjoy yourselves. I'll take my leave." Tom explained hastily. Because he spoke to Kevin over the phone and not Leena herself, he had a feeling that Leena's condition might be a bit serious, otherwise she would've called him herself.
"What? Leena got burned? I'll go with you." As soon as Duke heard the news, he immediately stood up and was eager to see her. Although Leena married Kevin without his consent, he would always love and care about her. He got worried when he heard that Leena was hurt.
Let's go. We're coming with you, too." Edward said, standing up with Justin in his arms. Edward always treated Leena as a sister. He became restless when he heard about Leena's situation and wouldn't feel relieved until he was sure that Leena was okay.
So that's it for today. I'll go with you and visit Leena, Rain said. He got worried at the news. She used to be a popular woman among her male friends before she got married. Everyone felt flustered at the bad news. They wondered how Kevin would react when he saw so many people at his house. He would probably get very nervous. He only called for a doctor. He probably didn't expect his call to bring the most prestigious CEOs in S City to his house.
