Back when he was still able to walk and run, he liked to travel everywhere, to watch the snow or do things like that. However, now, he could only look at and watch the scenes on the internet.
"If you like it, I can take you to see the scenery after you leave the hospital." Everleigh liked watching the snow as well, and she hadn't seen it yet. It would be delightful if they could witness together.
They could consider it a trip.
There was a hint of a smile on his face. "Will you bring me along?"
"Why not? We are a family. There is no need to divide things so clearly."
He chuckled and asked, "Don't you need to keep your distance for a moment?"
"My children are already born. Why do I still need to keep my distance?" She responded with a smile.
He felt that her words seemed to make sense.
Theodore brought Alastair and Adrienne over. He brought the children with him when he found out that Everleigh was in Xavier's ward.
Adrienne was an impatient child. As she walked, she shouted, "Mommy." When she saw Everleigh and Xavier upon her arrival, she smiled and said, "Uncle, you're awake. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Adrienne,"
Xavier looked at the delicate little doll in front of him, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
When he saw Alastair and Theodore walking in, he looked closely and realized that the two of them looked identical.
"Nice to meet you," Xavier said softly.
"Uncle, you finally woke up. I prepared a gift for you, but I forgot to bring it along," Adrienne went to the hospital bed and looked at him with some regret.
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Alastair,"
"I know. I heard all the things you said to me, and I also know what happened in your school. Alastair, you are excellent, and Adrienne, you are lovely." Xavier was not very good with words, but he was pleased to see the two children.
Everleigh knew that Adrienne would put a smile on his face.
"Uncle, when you've recovered, I'll take you out to play. By the way, Uncle, our school..." Adrienne sat aside and blabbered non- stop, which amused Xavier.
This child didn't seem to get bored.
Upon seeing this, Theodore stood next to Everleigh. "Let's go,"
"Okay. I'll finish up here," she replied and turned to do the handover work.
He waited for her with Alastair and Adrienne.
Adrienne's childish voice made Xavier laugh out loud.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"I'm taking you guys out to eat,"
"Can we bring Uncle Xavier with us?" Adrienne took Xavier's hand. It was obvious that she didn't want to be separated from him. He was slightly excited when he saw this. Not many people were willing to be caring towards him.
Theodore wished to bring him along as well, but Xavier's body didn't permit it for the time being.
"He can't go. He hasn't recovered yet," Theodore explained.
Adrienne was disappointed and soon came to her senses. "It doesn't matter. We'll wait until you've recovered. I will bring you out for dinner, Uncle."
Xavier reached out his hand and caressed her hair. The smile on his face grew even wider.
It was enough to know that she had such intentions.
Everleigh came over and Theodore brought them to a newly- opened restaurant. They ordered everything they liked. Adrienne ate happily, but Alastair ate the same as usual.
"Alastair, eat more. I heard that you and Leon are managing the Trevino Group. Is there anything you don't understand?" Everleigh said.
"No," he replied in a low voice.
