Chapter 1053 I''m Injured


    "My stomach..."


    "I''ll call the doctor!" Evelyn eximed in a hurry.


    Sheffield grabbed her hand and quickly exined, "No, no. I''m just hungry. You''ve obviously never


    taken care of a patient. I haven''t eaten anything in days, so of course, I''m starving!"


    Evelyn was a little embarrassed. Indeed, she had never taken care of anyone in the hospital before.


    She shook off his hand and made a call. "Bring some food suitable for a patient. Yes, liquid food."


    After she hung up, Sheffield grabbed her hand again and stared at her fingers. There was just a


    colorful Cat''s Eye ring on her finger. "Where is the ring I gave you?"

    "I threw it away." She annoyed him on purpose.


    "Eve, tell me the truth," he pleaded.


    Looking at the ring on her finger, Evelyn smirked. "It''s true. I thought you wouldn''t wake up, so I threw it


    away. I was going to find someone else to buy me a new ring."


    Pouting at her, he put his hand around Gwyn to prevent the little girl from falling from hisp. "Eve, I''m


    injured," he said in a distressed tone.


    "I know."


    "Tell me why you are angry."


    "I''m not angry!" She was just…a little sad.


    "I''m sorry for whatever I did. But look at all these wounds. Please don''t be mad at me right now, okay?"


    He released her hand and showed her the infusion tube on the back of his hand.


    Evelyn heaved a sigh and went in to scoop up the kid into her arms.


    "Gwyn,e to Mommy. Let your dad get some rest."


    Sheffield had slept for seven days straight and was in high spirits; he felt no need to rest any further.


    "I''m fine. Come to me, Gwyn."


    Evelyn was genuinely worried about his health. He had just woken up. She was afraid that he would


    tire himself out easily if he continued to y with Gwyn. So, she decided to keep the baby away from


    him for a while.


    However, the little girl stretched out her arms and leaned towards Sheffield, almost falling out of her


    arms. Evelyn was startled and quickly gathered her tightly. She then carefully put the kid next to the


    man.


    This time, Sheffield made sure to hug his girlfriend too. With his left hand around his daughter and right


    hand holding Evelyn, he said, "Evelyn, thank you for giving me such an adorable daughter."


    He still felt like he was in a dream. After all, he had a lovely daughter who was more than a year old all


    of a sudden.


    He was a father!


    The next day, Carlos and Debbie came to visit Sheffield. It was still early, so Sheffield was asleep when


    they arrived.


    The noise from the door woke him up. Hearing someonee in, he slowly opened his eyes. Before


    he could greet them, Carlos strode towards him like a whirlwind and pped him on the head.


    The hit was not painful, but Sheffield was left dumbstruck. "Uncle Carlos, what...?"


    "Uncle? Have you ever heard of a father-inw helping his son-inw get rid of other women for him?"


    Carlos bellowed.


    Sheffield was stunned for a few seconds, but then assumed that the old man was talking about Gillian''s


    matter. Apparently, she had caused some trouble in ZL Group the other day. So, he replied with a


    ttering smile, "Oh, Dad! You''re my dad."


    "Cut the crap! I don''t have a son who is as shameless as you!" Sheffield was much more brazen than


    Matthew.


    He sat up with a smile and changed the subject. "Uncle Carlos, I didn''t tell you that I''m Star Anise, and


    you didn''t tell me about Gwyn. So, we''re square now, okay?"


    Carlos leaned closer to him. "We''re square? Dream on! You extorted more than a billion from me! In


    what world do you think you can get away with that? Since you are in the hospital, I will not bully you


    right now. Once you recover, I will beat you back into the hospital!"


    Debbie tugged at his sleeve and defended Sheffield. "Didn''t we reach an agreement regarding how we


    would treat Sheffield? Why are you acting like this again?"


    "I didn''te to any agreement. I just get really angry when I see him!"


    Sheffield snickered at their little banter and then apologized, "Uncle Carlos, will you forgive me for


    everything that has happened so far?"


    Before Carlos could respond, Debbie cut in, "Look. Sheffield''s being really nice to us. Don''t be so


    stingy!"


    ''Stingy? Me?'' Carlos was too angry to even say a word after being scolded by his wife. He decided to


    vent his anger on Sheffield as usual. "Don''t pretend to be nice in front of my wife! You are always so


    proud and arrogant in front of me, but you pretend to be sweet when my wife is around."


    "It''s not like that, Uncle Carlos. I really want to marry Evelyn. I want to be your son. Please don''t make


    things difficult for me anymore," he pleaded.


    "Just saying that isn''t enough. You have to show your sincerity."


    Sheffield remembered something that Carlos had wanted a long time ago. "How about a teapot made


    out of azure mud?"


    It worked! Carlos'' curiosity was aroused immediately, and his eyes sparkled. "You have one?"


    "Yes, yes!"


    "Well, let me see the azure mud teapot first." Carlos didn''t want to promise anything so easily.


    He didn''t want people to say that he had married off his daughter for a teapot!


    "No problem. I assure you that it''s genuine." Sheffield finally had a chance of getting things right with


    Carlos and he was not about to ruin it.


    Sheffield got bored of staying in the hospital after a few days. Evelyn tried her best to make him stay for


    two more days, but after that, he insisted on leaving no matter how much she persuaded him.


    And so, Evelyn picked him up from the hospital, along with Gwyn.


    Sheffield''s apartment was newly decorated. Gwyn looked around curiously.


    Wherever she went, Sheffield followed the little girl like ackey. When she showed interest in


    something in his house, he would exin what it was to her in detail.


    And he kept asking Gwyn to call him "Daddy." She had called him that a thousand times already since


    he had woken up! Evelyn was bored of hearing it.


    Now again, the happy father said to his daughter, "Gwyn, call me ''Daddy'' and we''ll all stay here tonight


    together. Sound good?"


    Gwyn looked around his bedroom and cast a scornful nce at him. "Small."


    ''Small?'' Sheffield nced around his bedroom, which covered more than forty square meters. Gwyn


    thought that this was small?


    He groaned, feeling frustrated with himself for not noticing it before. "All right! If you call me ''Daddy''


    again, I''ll buy you a bigger house! What do you say?"


    "Daddy!" she said again with a wide smile.


    Even though he had heard her calling him "Daddy" a thousand times already, he was still pleased by it


    every single time. "Sweetheart, I''m gonna take you to see a big house tomorrow!"


    "Okay!"


    Standing at the door to the bedroom, Evelyn shook her head resignedly. "There''s no need for you to


    buy a new house. This is enough."


    He disagreed without a second thought. "No way! My daughter ims that the house is small, so we


    have to move into a bigger one. It''s decided." His apartment was about two hundred square meters. He


    had been living here alonefortably, but it was not big enough for a family.


    On top of that, he didn''t feel that this apartment was safe after the incident. He didn''t want to put his


    wife and daughter in any danger.


    Evelyn didn''t argue. She was loved and well-protected by Carlos, so she knew very well how a loving


    father would spoil his daughter without a care in the world. She realized that Sheffield was also a ve


    to his daughter, just like Carlos.
