"You should go with her! It's fine. Don't worry, it won't take long." Edward felt a little odd. He wondered, why his little boy wasn't scared of anyone except Leena? Leena was sweet and adorable. Then why was she so frightening in Justin's eyes?
"But… Fine!" Justin had no alternative but to let go of Edward's hand. He pouted to show his reluctance. He took a look at everyone but failed to find anyone who was about to save him from the impending misery. He felt very disappointed. He looked down gloomily and gave an unflinching expression.
"Let's go! Little buddy. I won't bite you. What's more, I'm not interested in human flesh, let alone your flesh which is probably mixed with ink." Leena moved her eyebrows at Justin complacently. Justin was not the only option she had. She insisted on taking Justin with her because no one else would offer to accompany her now that she had asked Justin to go with her. After all, they doted on her so much that they would never allow her to go alone. But she would be unwilling to be with anyone else now. So she had to pick someone in advance instead of waiting for their offer. Otherwise, she would be really annoyed if someone of them accompanied her.
Justin twitched the corners of his mouth. Finally, he decided not to say anything in response. Any normal person would not be interested in human flesh unless he had lost his mind. So should he respond her, no matter what he said as the response, it seemed that there would be only one conclusion; he was not a human being. Come on! He hadn't lost his mind! He was clever and he would never fall into her trap.
"Tell me! Why do you want me to go with you? And please don't say its because you like me. It's not convincing at all." As soon as they walked out of the ward, Justin asked about it. He didn't believe that the little witch had suddenly changed her evil ways and stopped digging a pit for him.
"Hey, little pal. You're just a baby boy! Why do you always think you might fall into some sort of a trap? Is it because the world seems too dark to you now? Or perhaps you are evil?" Leena reached out her finger and lightly tapped on Justin's head. It's not such a bad thing that this child was smart and sensible. But he would be not that cute and delightful if he was too wise. That would also make him less interesting, wouldn't it?
"Don't touch my hair. You're spoiling my hairstyle." Justin moved away to escape her reach. He was not a pet and he certainly didn't like being treated like one by Leena.
"So what! Your hair looks just like a messed up seaweed. You call this a hairstyle? Well, I beg to differ!" Leena sneered at him belittlingly. She found it really difficult to understand why her little nephew acted so cool. He was just a little kid! But his words and actions seemed too mature for his age.
Seaweed? How do you figure? What is the connection between my hair and seaweed? If I remember right, seaweed is green in color! I don't have a wife. Anyone with a decent vision can see that there's a vast difference between my hair color and the color of seaweed. Okay?" He, of course, knew what green hair meant. People would say a man was wearing a green hat when they knew he was being cheated on by his wife. Though he was a little boy, he was not foolish and got to know all of this from the shows on the TV. So there was no way Leena could make fun of him. No way!
Ur… Well... Puff…" Leena paused a little on hearing his words. Then she realized what he was talking about and she could not help bursting into laughter. She wasn't expecting that such a little boy would be so smart that he would be able to associate seaweed with green hat. He even knew what green hat meant. He really seemed like a grownup.
Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Justin felt a little embarrassed by her roaring laughter. He didn't know why Leena laughed and thought maybe he misquoted something to make her laugh like this. Perhaps, that's why she giggled so loudly that every passer-by looked at her with a weird expression on their face. But she didn't care about them and continued laughing. Her behavior was totally inconsistent with her ladylike dress.
"Ha-ha! Come on. I meant your hair is just like the short seaweed. It isn't long enough to form a hairstyle! I didn't think that our great visionary Justin is so imaginative that he'll figure out some deeper meaning hidden behind my words."
Leena struggled to stop her laughter. But she failed to hold back at the sight of Justin who looked like an old pedant. She didn't understand how he got to know all these grownup stuff. Wasn't he afraid that he might lose the innocence of a child if he knew too much about the adult world?
You deliberately misguided me! Huh! I know it, you have some cruel intentions behind asking me here. I can see the truth now!" Justin sharply moved forward with anger. He wanted to keep a safe distance from Leena so that she would not see his embarrassed face.
Hey! Buddy! Walk slowly! And why are you lowering your head almost to the ground? You will bump into somebody. That would be terrible." Fine! It was quite late! Justin had already bumped into someone in his mad rush. The man was none other than the man they were looking for, President Tom Qin.
Watch out. Why are you so careless?
Where are you going in su h a hurry? Tom reached out and caught Justin who was about to fall when they hit each other. Tom frown slightly and warned him in a low voice. He didn't mean to blame Justin ;he was just worried that Justin might hurt himself.
Sorry, Uncle Tom! We were looking for you. Justin was still in a state of mad fury. He decided not to accompany his evil aunt to do something anymore. Otherwise, he would again get teased by her.
Me? Why? What's the matter? Tom frown slightly. He remembered that he didn't apply any medicine on Daisy's face and he was thinking about what corrective measures he could take. Hopefully, Edward wouldn't find out that Daisy was slapped in the face in his hospital. Tom was worried that even if he could erase inflammation on Daisy's face now, it was still too late and Edward had already got mad.
