Justin asked solemnly, "What happened?"
Lawrence explained, "A guest fainted in the lobby. According to the lobby manager, he's not breathing anymore. They've already dialed 911. A doctor happened to be nearby, so they are currently giving him first aid."
Hotel Finest's guests were either rich or enjoyed a high social standing.
The hotel would also be held responsible if something were to happen, so Justin immediately instructed, "Go and take a look."
"Yes, sir."
After Lawrence went out, Justin walked out of the study and found that his son was not in the living room. He asked, "Where's Pete?"
The nanny replied, "He went next door."
Justin was puzzled.
A foreboding feeling arose in him.
In the suite next door.
Chester pointed to the mountain of clothes piled up on the sofa and announced, "These are for you!"
Cherry exclaimed, "All of them?!"
"Yep, I went to a few children's wear stores and got them to give me one of each design in your size!" Chester circled around her a few times and asked, "Can you scold me a little less in the game in the future?"
Cherry looked at her poor uncle and blinked. "I'll try!" Whenever she started playing, she would immediately transform uncontrollably into a little ogre. This really wasn't her fault, though, because it was her uncle who was simply too lousy!
Cherry sighed and rummaged casually through the clothes. While doing so, she suddenly took out a pink princess tutu dress.
"They must have packed it in by mistake." Chester reached over to set the dress aside, but he instead saw his nephew's eyes lighting up. "This is beautiful!"
Chester was perplexed.
Cherry said, "I'm gonna try it on!"
In order to play the role of her brother, she had been forced to dress like a tomboy every day. This had seriously impaired her looks!
Cherry entered the bedroom, changed into the dress, and looked at herself left and right in the mirror. It was at this moment that her cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked up. "Hi, Pete!"
Pete said, "Let's switch back right away, Cherry. You used Daddy's phone to send an email just now, so I have to remove the traces, or he'll find out otherwise!"
"Okie-Dokie!"
Cherry slipped out of the bedroom. She was about to leave when she saw Justin exit their suite and about to come over. She panicked and said, "I'm at Uncle Chester's, but Daddy's coming over now!"
Pete, who was hiding in the stairwell, stuck his head out.
If Daddy brought Cherry away with him, they would probably have to wait for another chance to switch back. However, if that happened, the likelihood of Daddy finding out about the email would increase.
Pete decided to wager on his uncle's IQ.
Pete suddenly darted out of the stairwell and called out, "Daddy!"
Justin, who was about to knock, was taken aback for a moment. He glanced over at the source of the voice and found that Pete was standing nearby in a princess dress.
The sight shocked Justin.
With a troubled expression, he took Pete back to their suite.
After the two of them went in, Cherry quietly opened the door, ran to the stairwell while holding her dress up, and went downstairs.
A stunned Chester was rooted to the ground.
His nephew had gone home in a princess dress?!
After a while, he suddenly thought of something and rushed next door in a panic. "Justin, I was the one that bought the dress, but listen to me... It's not what you're thinking!"
Bam!
Justin slammed the door shut and gritted his teeth as he said, "Stay away from my son!"
Chester was lost for words. I'm innocent! He thought.
After shutting out the culprit that was to blame for all these, Justin turned back to look at his son and observed him seriously.
Pete was wearing a princess dress, and there was a pink headband on his naturally wavy short hair. His exquisite facial features, as well as the smooth and practiced way he had combed Barbie's hair today...
Doubts finally formed in Justin's mind and he asked, "Are you really my son?"
Pete nodded seriously.
