The sound of a phone ringing brought Maxwell back to the present. He looked at Sunny, who goofily blushed and smiled at his phone."Who's texting you?" he asked.Sunny snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. "Ahem! I'm going out for a while to call a friend, Dad. I'll come back later to tell you more about Corinne."After that, he did not even wait for Maxwell's response before striding out of the room with his phone in his hand.Maxwell had his fair share of such experience, and he knew it was a woman.'Even Sunny has a girlfriend, yet Lucas is still living his life like a monk. That boy is already thirty years old, and I've never ever seen him with a woman before… Maybe it's because of what happened to me and his mom that he doesn't believe in love,' thought Maxwell with a sigh.…Sunny left the ward, asked the bodyguard at the door to keep a close eye on Maxwell, and walked to a quiet place to make a phone call.It was Xante who texted, asking how his father was doing. Sun

Sunny made his voice sound hoarse when he said, "I don't know. Maybe the wound opened up again when I moved my arm to call you."Xante frowned and looked at him sternly. "You idiot. You should've used your good arm to call me instead!"Sunny pouted pitifully. "I was in a hurry to call you, so I didn't think too much about it…""Haha—ahem, ahem!"The sound from the sofa caught Xante's attention. When she looked up, she found a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.Maxwell could not fight back his laughter. He did not expect Sunny would put on such a show in front of a woman. It was a pity that Sunny was not an actor, or he would have won the 'Best Actor' award.Xante roughly guessed who the middle-aged man was by how similar he looked to Sunny."You must be Mister Maxwell. Forgive me for not noticing you," said Xante, slightly flustered.Maxwell waved nonchalantly. "It's okay, don't mind me. You two can continue chatting."Xante did not know what to say.Sunny did not seem to c

No backing out at this point.Xante sighed helplessly and said, "Please don't trouble yourself over it, Mister Maxwell. It's more important for you to prioritize recovery, and I shouldn't even be here to bother you in the first place."Maxwell shook his head and smiled. "Nonsense. You have no idea how much better I feel to know Sunny has a girlfriend."Xante bowed a little and said, "I'll be leaving now, but I'll come back another day to visit you."After that, she turned and walked out of the room.Seeing that, Sunny quickly said to Maxwell, "Dad, I'm going to see her off.""Sure, go ahead," said Maxwell with a nod and a smile."Are you going to be okay?" asked Sunny worriedly.Maxwell knew what Sunny was referring to, so he nodded and said, "Yeah. I promise I won't do anything stupid again."Relieved, Sunny quickly ran out of the ward.Sunny managed to catch up to Xante in the hospital corridor. He grabbed her arm and said, "Xante, why are you leaving so quickly? Why not st

Suddenly, Xante saw a pool of liquid on the ground. Someone must have spilled their drinks there. More importantly, someone stepped on the liquid and left their wet shoe prints on the ground.Xante looked at the string of transparent footprints, and it was so obvious that the person was wearing high heels. They followed the shoe prints that led them to a consultation room.The door was ajar, and they tiptoed over to spy inside. Sure enough, they saw Sophia in the room talking to a doctor in a white coat.Sophia, sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, was checking the time impatiently. "Doctor Kingsley, how long do I have to keep waiting? Is the procedure that difficult?""Miss Sophia, please be patient. Your husband's body is different from the average male's, so it'll be harder than usual to extract his sperm out of him. But no need to worry. The nurse is a professional, and she'll call us once she has completed the procedure. We might interrupt them, which will result in the

"It's locked?" The baffled Doctor Kingsley walked over. He tried the door handle, but alas, it was indeed locked."That is strange. This room isn't usually locked since no one would want to steal the worthless junk inside. Who in the right mind would lock it?" he muttered.Sophia became convinced she definitely saw two people running to hide inside. 'Someone must've been spying on us. And they ran away to hide inside this utility room when they heard us coming out!'"Doctor Kingsley, I'll stand guard here while you go find the key for this utility room. I won't feel assured until I know for sure that no one is hiding inside," said Sophia.Even though Doctor Kingsley thought it was weird the utility room would be locked, he did not think anyone was hiding inside. After all, it was totally possible some nurse accidentally locked it after putting something inside. However, he did not dare to defy Sophia's order, so he went back to his consultation to take the key.Sophia stood outsid
