Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2088

The man, who had his side profile facing Minerva, turned his head, and then he saw a little girl, standing at the door. However, there was not the slightest bit of disgust in the way the man looked at the girl. Instead, he asked gently, "Miss, are you...calling me? Uncle?"

Looking at her age, this girl was twenty-five years old at best. The man, on the other hand, was already thirty -seven years old, so it was not strange for her to address him as her uncle. The only thing was that he did not know this girl. However, in the man's mind, he felt as if she had met her before. Had she seen her somewhere beforehand? The man had no clue.

"Uncle?" Minerva's tears gushed down her cheeks. She had once again forgotten that she was here to see her mentor, and had already completely ignored her mentor, who was stunned and at a loss for words. Instead, Minerva walked straight to that man until she was right in front of him, and she directly jumped into the man's arms.

The man was utterly speechless.

"Uncle...uncle, it's really you, Uncle...uncle...." Minerva sobbed. All Minerva was able to do was cry and call out for her uncle. She was not able to say anything else.

She nuzzled her head against the man's chest, and her tears were also landing on the man's chest. The man felt as if his heart had been sliced open. The girl's cries made him feel heartbroken.

She cried for a very long time and had been calling out for her uncle. It was not until she vented all her pent-u p feelings of missing her uncle with crying that she slowly said, "Uncle, you're finally back. It's good that you've come around. I will be graduating from medical school in a few years, and I already have a little bit of salary now. You don't have to worry about survival at all.

"I know that you want a family. A proper family with a warm and fuzzy feeling where you feel like you belong. Uncle, did you know that there's a girl who is very fond of you? She is especially fond of you. In the future, you will have your own family and children just like Mister Ford, Sabrina, and Aino's family.

"Don't take things too hard anymore in the future. At the very least, you still have me. I will support you for life. Uncle, don't die again, alright? Uncle...don't die again."

The man who was hugged by Minerva was speechless. The man's eyes were welled up with tears and then they dripped down his cheeks.

At that moment, the mentor, who was at the side, had already regained his senses. "Doctor Payne, it's such a coincidence. This girl's last name is also Payne. She is a student doing the seven-year combined program that I am mentoring now. Her uncle loved her very much and had died a few years ago. His last name was also Payne. Perhaps she heard that your last name is Payne, so she took you as her uncle. Don't mind her."

"Why would I?" the man who was called Doctor Payne immediately said.

"Minerva," the mentor immediately called out to Minerva. "You're acting a little out of sorts today. Hurry up and stand properly. Doctor Payne is conducting an operation soon. You can't be in his way and affect his mood. Do you understand?"

Minerva immediately nodded. "Alright. Alright."

She watched as the man who looked just like her Uncle Holden and wore a lab coat walked out of her mentor's office and started to prepare for the operation.

"Minerva?" Only Minerva and her mentor were left in the office. Her mentor asked in a concerned and reprimanding way, "What exactly is going on? You've always been a very calm person. What's gotten into you today?"
