Chapter 40: Daddy, Don’t Go

Millie left the ward, hid in the stairwell, and called Gavin. "Gavin, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable and got admitted to Bayview General Hospital." Millie’s tone was weak, as if she was really in pain. "Now my stomach is very painful, and there is no one taking care of me. Can you come to the hospital to see me?" Gavin said calmly, "You called me half an hour ago. Why didn’t you mention that you were admitted then?" Millie immediately thought of an excuse. Her tone lowered and there was a hint of helplessness and disappointment in her tone as she said, "You realized... Didn’t I give call you multiple times? You didn’t answer them. At that time, I was on my way to the hospital. At first, I wanted you to accompany me, but when you called me back, I had already finished the procedures. I didn’t mention the transfer anymore." She also took a deep breath and pretended that she was still in pain. "But I didn’t expect that I would still feel uncomfortable after being transferred to another hospital. Gavin, I really need someone to accompany me for a while." Millie was about to cry. "I don’t need anything else. I just want you to accompany me for a while. Is that okay?" Gavin hesitated for two seconds and agreed. "Okay, I’ll be there soon." Millie was satisfied and hung up the phone. She immediately went downstairs to admit herself into the hospital. She specially chose room 403, and the room above was exactly the room where Lulu was. After staying in the ward, Millie sent a message to Gavin. "Gavin, I forgot to tell you that my ward is Room 503." Gavin quickly replied, "Okay." Millie: "Yes, when you arrive at the hospital, let me know, I’ll wait for you." Gavin did not reply. He started the car and went to the hospital. Bayview General Hospital was not far from his house. In just 20 minutes, Gavin arrived. He followed the instructions given by Millie and went to the fifth floor. 501, 502, 503. He arrived. The ward door was half-closed. Gavin raised his hand and knocked gently, and the door opened automatically. The light in the ward was soft and bright, and it reflected the person lying on the hospital bed. It was a little girl. It was not Millie. Gavin frowned and was about to leave when he saw the girl on the bed turn over and face him. The girl’s delicate features were very much like... Lesly’s. Gavin froze and stared at the girl. When she was half asleep, she suddenly had a strange feeling. She opened her eyes and saw a tall and straight figure. For some reason, she felt that this shadow was exactly what her father in her dreams looked like. Lulu closed her eyes, thinking that she was in a dream. She stretched out her small hand with difficulty. She said in a soft and hoarse voice, "Daddy..." Gavin’s body stiffened, but he did not go over. Seeing that the man ignored her, Lulu pursed her lips and burst into tears. She sobbed and said, "Daddy, you don’t want me even in my dream?" Gavin’s pupils trembled, and he finally stepped forward and walked towards Lulu. He grasped Lulu’s soft and hot hand. Lulu’s fever had not subsided. She felt hot all over. Her face was red, which made her look even more fragile. Gavin’s heart softened as he could not help but ask, "Where are your parents?" LuLu rubbed Gavin’s hand and said, "My father doesn’t want me." Gavin said, "What about your mommy?" LuLu didn’t know that Lesly had come before, so she said, "Mommy went to find my brother. She hasn’t returned home yet." Gavin brushed away the sweat-drenched hair on Lulu’s face. "Do you remember your mommy’s phone number? I’ll call her and have her accompany you." "No." LuLu twitched her mouth and cried again. "I want daddy to stay with me. I miss daddy so much." Gavin opened his mouth, but the words "I am not your daddy" could not come out. "Okay, I’ll stay here with you. You can sleep for a while, okay?" "Yes!" LuLu was happy and held Gavin’s hand. "Daddy has to stay with me all the time. Don’t leave me behind again..." As Lulu spoke, she was exhausted and fell asleep again. At that moment, two footsteps suddenly sounded near the door. Lesly and Lucca had came back.
