At the hospital in Beachmarsh City.
On the second day after Stanley came to Beachmarsh City, he caught a cold. However, he didn't know whether he got it from Allgate City or Beachmarsh City.
When he first arrived, he had several jobs to deal with, so his assistant had to almost beg him to go to the hospital for a checkup. The reason was that Stanley felt it was troublesome, and he hadn't had any serious illness in the past few years. Each time, he would deal with the problem by just taking some medications, and he would be fine.
"Mr. Warner, if you collapse, it will affect Warner Group too. You can't just ignore your health!"
"You're so long- winded!" At that moment, Stanley was already dizzy. Now that the assistant had followed him to the hospital, he was still nagging him, which made his expression extremely dark. "I'll wait for you on the second floor. Go and help me register!"
When the assistant saw that Stanley was cooperative, he went to line up without saying anything else.
There were only a few people on the second floor, so it was relatively quiet. Soon, Stanley found a corner and took a seat as he leaned backward. Then, he tried to rest while he rested one hand on his knee and massaged his temple with the other.
For a person who had not been ill for years, it would be much more serious if he suddenly became ill!
While he was thinking something with his eyes closed, his calf suddenly tightened as if some small animal was holding onto it.
At that moment, Stanley frowned as he thought to himself that why would there be a small animal at the hospital.
Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked down. However, he didn't see any small animals. Rather, he saw a cute little girl who seemed like a three-year-old. Like a tiny fluff ball, she seemed soft and tender, and her big eyes were looking at him with tears.
Stanley was never fond of children as he felt that they were difficult to handle. Thus, he always kept a distance from them whenever he could.
However, now that he was looking at the little girl, for some unknown reason, he suddenly blurted out, "Sweetie, where is your mother? Why are you all alone here?"
At first, the little girl was dumbfounded, but she then burst into tears.
In shock, Stanley was suddenly at a loss. As a man who was 1.8 meters tall, he was so flustered, and he didn't know what to do. In a daze, he looked at the child, and for the first time, he thought of asking for help from someone.
At this moment, Stanley's assistant had just returned and saw the little girl sitting on the ground while she grabbed Stanley's pants and cry.
In confusion, the assistant walked over and asked, "Mr. Warner, why did you make a child cry?"
Fiercely, Stanley glared at him, "I made her cry? Did you see I make her cry?"
His questioning tone left the assistant speechless.
The assistant pursed his lips, thinking that with that attitude of Stanley, even an adult would be terrified, let alone a child. Who would believe him when he said that he was not the one who made the child cry?
"I don't know whose child is this, and I didn't touch her. She just suddenly burst into tears." When the assistant heard Stanley's words, his eyes widened. Was Mr. Warner trying to explain himself? Tsk, this was the first time!
A moment later, the assistant cleared his throat and squatted down in front of the child as he coaxed her in a soft voice, "Hey, tell me who bullied you, and I will help you with it. It's okay, don't cry. Come on, let me hug you."
The little girl had a pair of big beautiful eyes, but she didn't even look at the assistant while she continued to hug Stanley's calf tightly and sob, "Daddy..."
Immediately, Stanley's body stiffened, and his hand that was placed on his knee was trembling.
However, the assistant thought he had misheard her. "Hey, you can't find your father? Tell me, what's your father's name? I'll take you to him."
The little girl was crying so badly that her snot and tears came out. When she heard the assistant's question, she sniffed and pointed her finger at Stanley, who was completely stiffened. "Daddy!"
No matter how dumb the assistant was, he still heard her clearly this time, and his eyes widened as he said, "Little girl, you can't spout nonsense!"
