"She's my biological niece. I'll definitely treat her well." Liam waved his hand.
"... Alright." Catherine nodded as she understood her daughter's intention. "I'll get you some good food tomorrow."
When Catherine left with Lucas, she saw Liam entertaining Suzie who looked delighted.
She could not help but recall the time when Suzie was just born. Suzie had always cried and disliked anyone else carrying her except for Catherine.
However, when Liam came back to visit Suzie and carried her, she would stop crying. She also enjoyed clinging to Liam in particular.
Perhaps this was the exemplification of the saying ' blood is thicker than water', or perhaps, it was because Liam bore a passing resemblance to Shaun. The child could actually feel it. i
When Suzie was in Liam's arms at night, she suddenly whispered to him, "Uncle Liam, is my scummy dad friendly like you when he deals with kids?"
Liam was stunned. At the sight of the cute child whose face was pale because of her injuries, he could not help but say, "If he sees such a cutie like you, he’ll surely be friendly to you. Are you keen on having... dad?"
"I don’t know." All of a sudden, Suzie pouted as her eyes reddened. "When those people barged in that night, I was really scared. I was thinking... how nice it would’ve been if Daddy was around, but I didn't tell Mommy about it. I was afraid she'd be upset."
"You're such a good kid, Suzie." Liam let out a long sigh.
Shaun must have been hit by karma. If Liam had such an adorable kid, he would certainly pamper her like a princess. "If there's anything, you can look for me.
Just treat me as your dad.”
"Mm."
Suzie slowly fell asleep as she leaned on Liam.
The next morning, a nurse reminded Liam to bring Suzie to the fourth floor for a CT brain scan by 8:00 a.m.
Liam asked Suzie to wear her mask properly as ordered by Catherine when they walked there.
