Chapter 1473
After Vanessa had gone into the ward, Julien took out a cigarette and was about to light it. However,
he remembered that he was at the hospital so he went over to the smoking area. Apart from the
crowd at the smoking area, Julien was not quite used to the overwhelming cigarette smoke, so he
left after taking only a few drags off his cigarette.
The hospital was a crowded and busy ce. Amid this bustling world, Julien still felt like he did not
belong to this world.
Perhaps, it was because he was born and raised in a rich family like the Kyle family. Everyone in his
family had a personal doctor. Even if they had to be admitted into the hospital, they would definitely
get admitted into a first ss ward, which was even more luxurious than a five- star hotel room.
Throughout his life, he had never experienced the suffering of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Julien went to the director of Rovio Hospital, Marcus Hudson''s office, to see
Lawrie''s attending doctor, Dr. Ashleigh, and talk about Lawrie''s condition and medical history.
When he read through Lawrie''s medical record, Julien was heartbroken.
Owing to the spectacr advances in medicine, leukaemia was no longer an incurable disease.
However, the treatment was unbearable. Most adults might not be able to withstand it, let alone a
toddler like Lawrie.
ording to Lawrie''s medical record, Vanessa was Lawrie''s only guardian. Lawrie''s father''s name
was not written in there, which indirectly proved that Vanessa was not lying to him. Lawrie''s father
was probably dead, otherwise, he would not have kept his nose out of their lives throughout these
years.
That was to say, not only Vanessa had to raise Lawrie by herself, she even had to take care of his
expensive medical bills. She was only a girl in her early twenties but who was the one who made
her carry such a heavy burden by herself?
It was that d*mnned man!
Julien was so furious that he clenched his fists and punched against the desk. That b*stard married
Vanessa, and even made her give birth to his child, but he did not take good care of them and
protect them. How could he die so soon, and let Vanessa suffer all this on her own?
Both Marcus and Ashleigh were stunned by Julien''s sudden action. They stammered, "Mr, Mr.
Kyle..."
Julien said, "Please tell me everything about Lawrie''s condition."
Ashleigh exined, "Mr. Kyle, Lawrie was hospitalized once when he was still in Avend and his
condition was under control for the past year. This time, it was because his condition had worsened
out of a sudden that he was sent to the hospital again. However, we''ve managed to stop his
condition from worsening."
Julien raised his eyebrows and asked, "You''re only stopping his condition from worsening?"
Marcus immediately interrupted, "We will arrange the best doctor to treat him with the best
medicine. We will cure him within the shortest time, so that he can live a healthy and happy life like
many other children."
Julien said, "Immediately upgrade his ward and arrange the best doctor to treat him. Also, get the
best nurses to take care of him but do not charge them even a cent. I''ll take care of all the medical
expenses instead."
Marcus nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Kyle."
This hospital was the Kyle family''s property, so whatever Julien said went.
After leaving Marcus'' office, Julien went over to Lawrie''s ward. However, he was a little hesitant to
meet Lawrie.
A year ago, when he took over Rovio, his father was not there by his side to assist him. At that time,
he was not even afraid when he had to face the media and the shareholders by himself. However,
he was actually at a loss because of a little boy.
After hesitating for quite some time, Julien finally figured it all out. As long as he wanted to be with
Vanessa, no matter how reluctant he was to ept Lawrie, he must make himself do it, because he
knew that Vanessa treasured Lawrie more than him.
After thinking it through, Julien once again stood at the door to Lawrie''s ward and pushed the door
open without any hesitation. The first thing that he saw when he stepped into the ward was
Vanessa, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. She was holding a bowl of sliced apples
and feeding them to Lawrie.
Lawrie opened his mouth wide and he would smile at Vanessa every time he took a bite.
Although Lawrie looked pale, the smile on his face was still very sweet... Julien was very envious to
see how happy they were together. Then, he began to feel annoyed. He thought that Lawrie was
ugly, and his smile was hideous. No matter how Julien looked at Lawrie, he would still think that he
was extremely annoying.
At that moment, an image appeared in Julien''s mind. If he and Vanessa had a child, their child
would definitely be the best-looking child in the world. Their child would definitely not look like
Lawrie at all.
However, Vanessa, who was in the ward, did not notice that Julien was standing at the door. She
continued to feed Lawrie as she said, "Lawrie, we need to eat more fruits and vegetables too, then
only you will grow taller and stronger, okay?
Lawrie nodded adorably. "Okay. I''ll listen to you, Mommy."

Listening to Lawrie''s childish voice, Vanessa couldn''t help but want to kiss him. As soon as the
thought came into her mind, Vanessa went ahead to kiss Lawrie''s face. "Lawrie, you''re so adorable.
You''re so cute that I want to bite you."
Lawrie said softly, "I''m your sweetheart, Mommy."
Vanessa chuckled and said, "Yes, I''m going to bite you now, my little sweetheart."
Lawrie was so amused that he broke into a fit ofughter. Because of theughter, Lawrie''s pale
face flushed a little. "Mommy! Mommy!"
Vanessa parted his lips and pretended like she was going to bite him. "I''m going to eat you now,
Lawrie. Are you scared?"
Lawrie shook his head. "I know that you love me. You will never eat me."
"You''re so smart, Lawrie!" said Vanessa.
Lawrie said, "Because you''re smart, that''s why I''m smart."
This mother and son were so loving that it felt like no one could ever blend into their world...
Looking at them, Julien who wanted to enter the ward, stood still instead.
To tell the truth, Julien still could not ept Lawrie''s existence.
Hence, he quietly closed the door and left.
He still needed time to digest what had happened that day.
When Julien was closing the door, Vanessa happened to turn her head and saw his lonely figure.
She knew that he could not ept Lawrie, but she would not me him for it.
In fact, what he did for her that afternoon was already beyond her expectation. Under such a
circumstance, Julien resolutely stood by her side and protected her. He made her understand
through his actions that his feelings for her had never changed. However, some things had already
happened and they could never return to how they were in the past.
