Chapter 21: Come Here Little lan
Chapter 21: Come Here Little lan
Her face turned pale.
Seeing that she had stabbed herself with the knife without any hesitation to save the child, Kane's words weren't as hurtful as compared to what he would say in the past. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He was right; she didn't have the right to see lan because she had abandoned him once.
If she were to meet him as his mother and tell him the truth, wouldn't that be doing him more harm? "Madam, it's not true when you stated that Mr.Ronin did not want this child.All these years, he has been treating lan very well and is very involved in his life.Do you know why he always accompanies lan for treatments? It's because lan's physically weak and has a rare blood type.Mr.Ronin worries that if he is gone for too long, something bad might happen to lan.That's why he's always by his side."
It took quite a while before Amora lifted her head and asked, "Rare...blood type?"
Kylo nodded.
"Yes.Same as you, his blood type is RH negative.That year, after his premature birth, Mr.Ronin flew him to Dartford Hospital that very night to save him.Madam, there's really no need for you to doubt if his capability as a father."
Kylo told her everything earnestly.After hearing that, Amora was speechless.Her expression darkened suddenly.She felt as if Kylo's words had shaken her to the core.
"I understand.You can go now.Thank you for last night.And, you should...stop calling me "Madam" from now on.That's not my position anymore, lest your president becomes upset if he hears it."
Kylo seemed as if he had something else to say, but he let out a sigh, turned around, and left the room.
Amora did not go to lan again.
She remained in her cabin to focus on her recovery.
After witnessing her honesty, Kane had also stopped locking her up and gave her the freedom to roam around.
One day, out of the blue, despite Kane and Amora's agreement for not letting lan meet her, the boy suddenly appeared at her cabin just when the boat was about to arrive at their destination.
"Why are you still cooped up?"
That day, lan was playing with his drone around the fenced area, so he wasn't exactly looking for her.
However, the moment Amora saw him, she couldn't hold herself back that instance.
"Little lan, what...what brought you here? Did you run out on your own? Isn't your daddy watching over you?"
"Why would he watch over me?"
He turned around impatiently and walked away with his drone controller in his hands.
lan's personality greatly differed from Matteo's.
Whenever the latter spoke to Amora, he was always cheerful and polite.
As for lan, there was a cold and dark aura hanging over him.
He was exactly like his father, even though he was only five years old.
Amora's heart ached at the thought.
Immediately, she followed him from behind and stood next to him while uttering cautiously, "I'm sorry, Little lan.It was a misunderstanding.Woah! You're very good at flying the drone, it's so high up in the sky."
She was trying to create a conversation with him.
After Kylo spoke to her that night, she couldn't muster the courage to face the boy anymore.
She was either afraid of saying the wrong things or feeling utterly guilty whenever she was with him.
She didn't even dare to look straight into his eyes.
As a matter of fact, the child completely ignored her words.
He walked towards the fenced area and started flying his drone with the controller while he pretended Amora wasn't there.
Her heart shrank once more as she looked at the drone.
"By the way, Little lan, I've forgotten to tell you that if you add a little tinfoil on the tail of the drone, it can fly even higher and you'll be able to control its direction better."
Finally, after hearing that, the aloof child looked in her direction.
Amora was thrilled.
"It's true.If you don't believe me, I can show you."
She immediately set out to look for tinfoil.
She had learned that method from Matteo.
Even though the two brothers had never met, their hobbies were shockingly identical.
lan liked to play with drones, while her family bought a few similar ones for Matteo as well.
Based on her occasional observations when Matteo flew his drones in the past, he would use the same method, too.
In a short while, Amora retrieved a few empty cigarette boxes on the boat and ran back to the little boy.
"Little lan, look! Give me a minute while I removed the foil."
Panting and squatting in front of the child, she ripped it open and removed the wrapper that was inside the cigarette box.
After that, she was ready to peel the foil.
Initially, lan didn't take her words seriously.
However, as a child, his curiosity spiked after seeing Amora peeled off an entire sheet of tinfoil in front of him.
"Little lan, have you tried using tinfoil like this before?"
No one answered.
Even though lan was standing next to her, he wasn't willing to speak to her because of his eccentric temper.
