Love Contract novel Chapter 210

William was the first to react. He held Alick

lovingly in his arms and said in an imploring tone, "Alick, call me that again!"

"No way! You already heard me," Alick said, his lips curving into a shy smile.

"I want to hear it again please!" Shaking his

head, William spoke with a child-like enthusiasm. "One more time, please! One last time, my dear Alick!"

"What about me? I can call again!" Elissa said. She was wearing an indignant expression, hands on her hips, and a slight pout on her full lips.

Angrily, she went on, "In fact, I can call in a

sweeter tone than Alick. Listen, Dad! Dad! Dad!"

"What a fool!" Alick said, shaking his head and rolling his eyes.

"Haha!" As the scene unraveled in front of Mary, she turned her face away, happy tears filling her eyes.

Barry was watching them, bitterness slithering through him. He hadn't uttered a word since he entered the ward. Standing there, he felt like someone had rubbed salt into his wounds.

Unable to watch it any longer, Barry quietly pushed the door open and left.

William and his two little darlings were busily talking to each other. And Mary walked towards Timothy and asked, "Father, are you okay?"

Listening to that, William stopped playing and turned his gaze to his father. "Father, what has happened to you?" His smile was instantly replaced with a frown.

"Nothing," Timothy said, waving his hand and brushing off their question.

"You are the sole person responsible for this," Archer said harshly.

Hearing that, William pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Okay, stop this! William has just woken up. Let's talk about it later," Aunt Amy said, easing the atmosphere. After a short pause, she went on, "I've prepared some delicious food. Mary, I suggest you have dinner with William. When you stay by his side tonight, I'll take care of the kids for you."

"Thank you, Aunt Amy!" Mary nodded and took the box of food.

"Then, Alick and Elissa," Amy said to the kids, "how about you join Grandpa and Grandma tonight? Mommy has to take care of Dad. She can't sleep with you. Be good children if you want your daddy to heal faster, okay?" "Is Dad really going to recover soon if Mommy sleeps with him?" Elissa asked, eyeing them.

"Ahem." Victor coughed. Since the very beginning he knew that Elissa was the type of kid who spoke blatantly.

Mary was rendered speechless. She looked up at Elissa, face flushed

William cleared his throat. "Well," he smiled and said, "my good daughter is quite smart. You are right! If Mommy sleeps with Daddy, he will have a speedy recovery."

"I will let her stay with you. Please get well soon." After speaking, Elissa planted a small kiss on his cheek. Then turning around, she held her grandma's hand.

"Okay!" William gazed affectionately at his daughter and smiled. Leaning towards Alick, he asked, "How about you, Alick? Will you give me a kiss too?"

Alick pouted, like he wasn't going to give one. However, to William's relief, he obliged and gave a kiss.

"Good boy!" Warmth flowed through his heart.

"Let's go!" Timothy said and smiled, seeing his son look so happy. He waved to his son and left with Amy and the kids.

Once they were gone, William looked at Archer, Lucas and Victor. "The patient needs some rest. Could you all please leave?" he requested.

"Of course! The patient needs to take some rest. Let's go out, Mary," Archer said, smiling at him.

"Fuck off! Or else I will get up and throw you out!" He eyed Archer disdainfully.

"Fine, we are leaving. But next time if I get injured, I want Mary to take care of me," Lucas complained as he turned around and left.

Mary only smiled helplessly.

All the three were out and the door was shut. Now, it was just Mary and William.
