Chapter 338


    Chapter 338 Let Me Hold Him


    After asking Christopher to take a seat, Hailey hurriedly poured a ss of water and then went to the


    kitchen to wash some fruits


    After putting down the fruit te, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Mr.


    Sce, have you had lunch?”


    Rowan had to take a nap at one o’clock. Therefore, they usually had lunch before noon. Since it was


    only passed one o’clock, Hailey did not know if Christopher had eaten lunch when he came over at this


    time. Looking at how restless she was, Christopher answered, “I’ve already eaten lunch. Hailey, you


    can rest now. I came to see Roe Where is he?”


    Hearing Christopher’s polite voice, Hailey felt a little embarrassed. However, she did not reveal her


    emotions. She sat down on the side and replied, “Roe just fell asleep in the room upstairs. Should I


    take you up?” After saying that, she got up again..


    “No need Let him sleep.” Christopher said tly


    Hailey hummed in response before sitting down again.


    Christopher sat quietly on the couch as he picked up the ss and slowly took a sip of water. Taking


    out his phone, he nced at it, tapped on the screen a few times, and put the phone away again.

    Looking at him, Hailey did not know what to say for a while. The person in front of her was the child


    who had grown up under her watch. Nevertheless, she was particrly unfamiliar with him. If anything,


    she felt awkward at that moment.


    The living room was too quiet. Hailey wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say after


    thinking for a while.


    When Christopher was imprisoned three years ago, the Sce family changed drastically. Hailey still


    felt sad whenever she recalled those things, not to mention Christopher, who used to be a privileged


    person.


    “Mr. Sce…”


    Hailey finally spoke up. However, before she could finish her words, Christopher interjected, “Hailey,


    stop calling me Mr. Sce Just call me by my name.”


    Hailey opened her mouth and wanted to say that he would always be “Mr. Sce” for her. Nheless,


    looking at Christopher’s indifferent expression, it seemed that he did not care at all. She hesitated for a


    moment and nodded “Okay I’ll call you Chris like Mrs. Sce from now on.”


    Christopher nodded lightly in agreement


    “You haven’t seen Roe after you came out, have you?” Hailey probed.


    “I have’


    Christopher briefly told Hailey about his two encounters with Rowan.


    Hailey replied, “It shows that you two are destined to meet each other. There’s still a blood rtion


    between the father and son. It’s destiny that you meet each other.”


    Hailey believed in ghosts and spirits. She also believed in destiny.


    She felt that the two chance encounters between Christopher and Rowan were God’s way of letting the


    father and son meet each other


    Since Christopher was imprisoned, Yuliana originally wanted Hailey to return to the Sce residence.


    Nevertheless, the Sce family also kept getting into trouble immediately afterward. So, Joyce took the


    initiative to terminate Hailey’sbor contract to allow her to continue taking care of Rowan with Yuliana.


    Although Yuliana agreed to let Hailey continue to take care of Rowan after some consideration, she


    requested Hailey in advance that she could not mention Rowan’s father, Christopher, in front of the boy


    Hailey promised Yuliana to do so. Hence, in the past two to three years, she had never mentioned


    Christopher to Rowan, nor did Yuliana. Rowan never knew the identity of his father.


    He did not even know what his father looked like.


    Hailey watched Christopher grow up and treated him almost like her son. It was no surprise that she


    was


    biased toward him. She also hoped the father and son would get along normally one day.


    Hailey’s eyes became red-rimmed again. She valued family ties as she got older. Sheposed


    herself and exined with a smile, “Roe is a good child. He was weaker than other children before he


    turned two, which worried Yuliana a lot. Over the past year, he has grown very well,”


    Rowan was born prematurely. Premature babies were weaker than those born at full term. Before the


    age of two, Rowan did create a lot of trouble for Yuliana. He would easily catch a cold, especially in


    winter, if she was not careful.


    Children’s colds were different from that of adults since children had weaker immune systems.


    Therefore, medications must be used with caution. Furthermore, it would take them longer to recover.


    Children were prone to recurrence if they were not careful.


    Hailey remembered that in the winter beforest, Rowan was infected with pneumonia and stayed in


    the hospital for almost a month. A few days after being discharged, he was admitted to the hospital


    again. Moreover, he constantly had a high fever every night. Yuliana did not dare to sleep all night and


    stayed by his


    bedside.


    That winter, Yuliana could not eat or sleep well. She was as thin as a stick. She only weighed around


    88 pounds despite her tall figure.


    Hailey could not help but feel sorry for Yuliana when she thought of this matter.


    Then, Hailey told Christopher about what had happened in the past three years. She mostly talked


    about matters rted to Rowan. She did not say much about Yuliana.


    After spending a few years with Yuliana, Hailey knew a little bit about the former’s temperament.


    It was impossible for Yuliana and Christopher to get together.


    When Hailey was talking, Christopher did not interrupt her. He merely listened to her quietly.


    Time ticked by. Suddenly, there was a faint noiseing from the stairway and followed by Rowan’s


    sleepy and cute voice, “Granny Hailey…”


    “Yes!” Hailey was speaking with Christopher at that moment. Hearing Rowan calling her, she


    immediately responded and quickly got up and walked toward the stairway.


    Rowan came downstairs barefoot in his robotic cat-patterned pajamas. He held onto the handrail with


    one hand while carrying a rabbit plush toy in the other. His eyes were half-opened as though he had


    not woken up yet.


    “Sweetheart, why aren’t you wearing shoes?” Hailey immediately picked Rowan up.


    Rowan yawned and flopped on Hailey’s shoulder.


    Rowan had a dream just now. In the dream, his father yed Lego and cars with him. In addition, his


    father also brought him to the arcade to y the fishing game. His father was very tall and dressed in


    the same clothes as him, with Superman printed on his clothes.


    However, when Rowan tried to see what his father looked like, he woke up from his dream.


    Rowan could not remember anything after waking up. He had already forgotten what he had dreamt of.


    Despite that, the world of children was very simple. Rowan would not dwell on his forgotten dream. He


    was feeling groggy as he had not woken uppletely.


    Just as Rowan rested on Hailey’s shoulder and was about to shut his eyes again, a tall figure suddenly


    appeared in his sight.


    “Hailey, let me hold him.”


    Rowan, who was half asleep, slowly woke up after hearing this familiar voice. He forced himself to


    open his eyes and shouted in a daze, “Mr. Coke…”
