Chapter 385: Dad Loves Mom or Me

…

“Don’t do such a dangerous thing anymore.”

Hilla carefully helped Halle out. Halle nodded with a smile, “OK. I will protect myself well.”

Originally, she wanted to call the police, but after arriving at the hospital, Titus strongly disagreed with that.

Considering that she had hurt him severely, she finally gave up.

Bruce glanced at Horton the Andersons and asked calmly, “Any thoughts?”

Horton withdrew his gaze from Titus and adjusted his coat. He replied expressionlessly, “I want to hit someone.”

If a problem can be solved with force, it’s best not to resort to the law. Bruce whispered with approval, “Then let’s do it together later.”

He was free recently, so he could exercise his muscles. Horton looked at him indifferently and said coldly, “No need.”

To be a man, he should resolve it by himself. How could he find helpers? Bruce put on a smile as if he was ridiculed Horton, “Can you do it yourself?”

Horton heard provocation in his tone and turned a little gloomy, “Just have a try. And then you will know the answer.”

It concerned a man’s dignity. He must make it.

Bruce coughed lightly and patted Horton’s shoulder. He warned, “Be careful. Don’t leave any evidence behind. It may destroy your reputation.”

Horton smiled and gave him a cold look, “I know. Don’t need to remind me.”

Bruce nodded, “But don’t be too gentle. Or someone won’t learn a lesson. ”

To be lenient towards scum was to be cruel to oneself. Bruce felt that Horton should understand.

However, Horton not only understood but also was accomplished to it.

Hilla and Halle left the hospital and were about to get in the car. Horton told Halle, “I have an operation in the afternoon. I can’t leave now.”

“It’s OK. Hilla will send me home. Don’t worry.”

Halle smiled gently.

It seemed that she did not care if Horton would accompany her and was even afraid that she would bother him.

“It’s because he has a special job. Otherwise, he should be by your side at this time.” Hilla sighed and muttered.

Although she felt sorry for Halle, she understood Horton. After all, it was the doctor’s duty to save people’s life. Halle was safe now. They should let him fulfill his duty.

Halle didn’t care a lot. It was lucky enough that the child in her belly was safe.

If she disturbed his work, other people would keep saying that…

She was not worthy of him…

“It doesn’t matter. If you have time, then accompany me for a while,” Halle held Hilla’s hand and spoke.

Halle knew that Hilla was worried about her and wouldn’t refuse.

With Hilla around, Horton would also be at ease and could work well.

“Of course, I have time. Right now, what I own is the only time,” Hilla complained, but her face was brimming with happiness.

As she spoke, she glanced at Bruce beside her.

Halle smiled at her because of her childish expression.

“Given that you have a lot of time, I will take it,” Halle said to Hilla and looked at Bruce.

Bruce awkwardly said, “Let’s go home.”

Halle pulled Hilla into the car, “It seems that I can’t let you stay with me tonight.”

Someone was obviously unwilling.

Hilla blushed. She hugged Halle’s arm, “If I spend the night with you, Horton won’t forgive me.”

Horton left with worry and unwillingness just now. It was clear that he was going to come back to accompany Halle immediately after finishing his ’work.’

Hilla was a sensible person. What had happened in the hotel of Toulon last time was embarrassing enough. She couldn’t allow it to happen again.

She hid in the room and did not dare to come out. So, embarrassing.

They chatted and laughed in the car. It seemed that the accident today did not affect them.

Halle still had a good appetite and ate much. Hilla was worried that she would be uncomfortable at night. So, she asked Halle to take a walk in the park to digest the food.

In the hospital.

It was silent. There was only the sound of footsteps in the corridor. But soon, a

greeting came out, “Time for meals.”

Family members or patients came out for their meals.

Titus twisted his body and wanted to get up.

“I’ll help you get food,” A low voice came from behind the curtain.

Titus was startled and quickly said gratefully, “Thank you so much.”

He thought that he stayed in this ward alone. With the curtain, he didn’t notice that there was someone else.

He couldn’t move now, and he would feel dizzy when he sat up.

To meet a kind-hearted friend, he was moved.

The staff who was serving the meal saw Horton and was surprised, “Director Hutt, aren’t you going to the canteen?”

Horton smiled gently.

He replied, “It’s time to get off work.”

“That’s good,” The staff responded and was about to say something. But Horton suddenly stretched out his hand, “Give me the food of the patient on the 13th bed.”

“Is he your relative?”

The staff became curious. It was said that Horton was from a prestigious family and was also the heir of a famous group.

She had never seen his relatives stay in a normal ward.

But she knew something about his wife, whose background was complicated but not that good.

She sighed in her heart. Excellent men all belong to others.

Aren’t they picky?

There were so many beautiful and knowledgeable doctors and nurses in the hospital. Why did Horton marry a divorced woman?

Horton smiled and took the food box, “He is my elder brother.”

Elder brother?

That playboy and gangster in the Hutt family?

The staff was stunned for a moment. She looked at Horton’s back and sighed regretfully.

Horton just was too kind!

Titus was watching TV. When I was about to get up, the curtain was pulled away and then pulled back.

A person in white walked to his side, placed the food box on the table, and helped him up.

“Thank you, doctor…”

Titus’s eyes fell on the man and suddenly stopped saying.

The man wore a mask covering his face, but his eyes were sharp. Titus could feel his ’smile’ from his bent eyes.

Horton looked down at Titus, who was increasingly uneasy. He leaned down and comforted, “Relax, we haven’t started.”

…

A miserable cry came out from a ward in the hospital.

The people on the nurse stand subconsciously looked over. Someone wanted to walk over but was stopped by others.

“The director just told us that it is his relative. It is none of our business.”

“His relative?”

But the patient’s surname was not Hutt.

The nurse curled her lips and said disdainfully, “I heard that it was his wife’s ex-husband. The director even said that it was his elder brother.”

“What? His wife’s ex-husband…”

But she couldn’t finish her words as she saw Horton walking out of the ward.

The nurse quickly lowered her head, pretending to be busy with her work.

So, it turned out to be the rival of Horton. No wonder he became so ruthless.

Thinking about the miserable scream just now, the nurses felt a chill. They just watched Horton walk calmly past.

At this time, they should pretend that they know nothing so as not to be silenced!

“Hey, should we go inside and take a look?”

The nurse secretly pulled the colleague on duty and whispered.

The other shook his head forcefully and reminded, “Our lives are more important.”

They looked at each other in tacit agreement.

What could be more important than their lives at this time?

They had seen nothing and didn’t know anything.

A few more painful moans came out. And then the bell began ringing.

Only then did the two reluctantly go to the ward.

Halle sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at Emily beside her. With a gentle smile on her face, she was doing the handwork assigned by the kindergarten teacher today with Emily.

“Mom, why isn’t Dad back yet? I am hungry.”

Emily looked at the rabbit lamp in her hand, but there was no joy on her face.

She put on an expression of grievances.

She had not seen Horton for several days. He was so busy with work. Every time he came back at night, she was already asleep. And when she went to kindergarten in

the morning, he had left earlier.

She was so pitiful. She had a father, but she could not see him often.

Halle said that he would come back today. But now Emily had finished her homework and still couldn’t see him.

Emily was anxious. She thought that Horton didn’t want to come back again.

A classmate in the kindergarten said that his father also came back very late and then never came back.

She was going to be a child without a father.

Emily felt wronged, and her eyes could not help but turn red.

“Mom, you said that Dad will come back for dinner, but I can’t see him now. Does Dad abandon us?

“Is there something wrong with me? Am I not cute?”

Halle was a little surprised. She did not expect that Emily would be so emotional.

Horton had always been busy, and he came back late at night. So, the time that they spent together was actually very little.

Halle didn’t pay attention to it before. Thinking carefully, last month, Emily and Horton went fishing together.

It turned out that they had not been together for over a month.

“Emily, don’t be angry. Dad loves you and me so much. How can he abandon us?

“He is just too busy. Let’s have dinner first. When we go back to the bed after dinner, Dad will be back.”

“Mom, you are lying. Every time I lie on the bed, I quickly fall asleep. When I woke up the next morning, I didn’t see Dad. It must be that dad didn’t want us. I am a child without a father.”

Halle became nervous when she looked at Emily’s sad face.

She went forward to comfort her, but Emily turned around angrily.

“I miss Dad. I want to eat with Dad.”

“Didn’t I tell you before? Eat with Mom, okay?”

Halle patiently comforted Emily, her face not showing any unhappiness.

She understood Emily. Her uneasiness was the source of her emotion.

“No. I am not hungry.”

Halle knew Emily was in a fit of madness, and she could not help but smile.

“Then can Emily eat with me? I am so hungry!”

“You are an adult. Will adults still be hungry?” Emily asked seriously.

Halle smiled and nodded, “Of course. I made delicious braised meat and chicken wings. All are your taste.”

Emily licked her lips and said hesitantly, “But I have to wait for Dad. I am not hungry.”

Emily rubbed her little hands and stayed there feeling wronged.

Halle stood up and sighed regretfully, “There is so much delicious food, but Emily doesn’t eat them. Then I can only eat them alone. A good girl won’t waste food.”

Before Halle reached the dining table, the door was suddenly opened.

Emily’s eyes lit up. She quickly jumped off the sofa and ran over.

“Dad!”

Emily cheered and threw herself at Horton, hugging his thigh.

Horton dragged Emily into his arms and kissed her tender little face.

“Dad, why are you back so late? I am hungry,” Emily acted like a spoiled child.

Horton’s heart softened, and his gaze became gentler.

Halle walked forward and whispered, “Emily, come down quickly. Dad is tired from work.”

“Dad, can I massage your shoulders?”

Hearing Halle’s words, Emily turned to look at Horton, blinked her big crystal eyes, and spoke obediently.

Her cute appearance melted Horton’s heart.

When Horton was a child, a family he had been looking forward to was like this. Every day, he would look at the door and wait for his father. Then, he would jump into his arms with a proud and happy face.

Unfortunately, he had waited for so many years, and in the end, he had become a father.

He wanted to give Emily the best love in the world.

Emily was his daughter, the person he was closest to in this world by blood.

He did not have to be alone anymore. He had a daughter, a wife, and a family.

“Emily, let Dad go wash his hands first.”

Halle saw that Horton didn’t intend to put Emily down, so she took Emily out of his arms.

Emily was reluctant. Halle reminded her, “Didn’t you want to have dinner with Dad? Dad is very hungry.”

“Dad, Mom made braised meat and chicken wings. All are your favorite!” It was her who loved those dishes.

Horton smiled and looked at Halle with tenderness and affection. Halle was a little embarrassed, “Are you hungry?”

Horton said in mind, ’I am so hungry. But dinner was not enough for me.’
