After taking some cold medicine, Arnold caught up on some sleep and felt significantly better. He was just about to give them a call when they walked in. A small smile played on his lips, "William must be hungry, how about we all go grab something to eat at the diner?"
Kane curiously sized him up, pondering the relationship between him and his mother.
Aurelia was trying hard to maintain her composure, deciding not to spill the beans about her encounter with Leopold. "Let's order room service. William caught a cold too, he has a slight fever."
Arnold quickly scooped up the child and laid him on the bed, feeling his forehead, "He's a bit warm. Did we buy lemons?"
It was common to give children lemon water after they catch a cold, using lemon slices to help reduce their temperature physically.
Aurelia nodded, washing and slicing the lemons.
Arnold was about to cool the child's feet when he quickly pulled them back.
"I can do it myself." Ever since Kane could remember, he had been very independent, refusing others' help whenever he was capable of doing things by himself.
Arnold didn't catch on to his abnormal behavior and simply smiled, "Just lay back and relax. Let daddy handle it."
Daddy?
Kane was taken aback. Could this man be his mother's new husband? Does his mother not want his father anymore?
A wild guess suddenly popped into his head: Mommy must have amnesia and doesn't remember him or his father!
The TV shows that Laura watches always have such plots. Nine out of ten female leads suffer from amnesia!
While he was contemplating, Arnold gently started cooling his feet. Even though he wanted to reject the help again, he held back his urge to avoid arousing suspicion.
Aurelia brought him some chewable children’s vitamin C, "You and daddy should each have a bowl of soup later, it’ll help with the cold."
Kane turned his head and noticed the phone watch on the nightstand. It must belong to William. He also has one, but it's charging in his room. If he was here, then where was William?
Meanwhile, William had already been escorted back to his room by the bodyguards. Laura brought him dinner, "Young master, you must be hungry. Have some chicken soup before your meal."
William was indeed hungry. He finished the chicken soup quickly and started eating heartily.
Suddenly, the watch phone on the desk rang. He was surprised to see that it was his own number calling.
