Nathan remained silent. It was his negligence that had led to the boy falling sick. He didn’t want to argue with Olivia at this time and would at least wait for Liam to wake up before leaving. Hence, his tone softened. “Please calm down.”
“How can I calm down?” Olivia was flustered and furious. At this moment, Liam woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw his parents at each other’s throats, he explained, “Mommy… this isn’t Daddy’s fault.”
“Liam!” Upon seeing her son wake up, Olivia immediately approached and sat on the edge of the bed. She stroked his little head gently and looked at his pale face in distress. Nathan also stepped forward. Standing behind Olivia, his gaze fell on Liam. His thin lips parted, and he asked concernedly, “Liam, how do you feel? Does it hurt?”
The boy smiled and said in a soft, babyish voice, “I’m fine. I just need to rest for a bit.” He made himself perk up and held Olivia’s hand. “Mommy, don’t get angry. You look ugly when you’re angry!” It broke Olivia’s heart to see how mature and sensible her son was.
The doctor spoke up. “It’s good that he’s awake. Just give him some glucose and electrolyte saline. He fainted because he was dehydrated. He just needs to replenish his energy.” He looked at the two of them reproachfully. “Why is your son wiser than the two of you? You’re preoccupied with arguing even at a time like this.”
Olivia quietly swallowed her words when she heard this. Nathan also remained silent. Ethan was very

and the two of them left the ward. The room instantly quieted down.
“Mommy, I want some water,” Liam said in a babyish voice as his clear eyes blinked. Olivia immediately poured some water and fed it to him as she supported him. “Just have a little to quench your thirst. Don’t drink too much.” Nathan stood by the bedside with a slightly apologetic expression. “I’m sorry for making you sick. I didn’t take good care of you.”
“It’s okay, Daddy. It’s not your fault!” Liam pursed his lips and shook his head. He lifted his tiny head and declared solemnly, “Mr. Valtor said sunbathing can help strengthen my bones. When I get strong, I can protect Mommy in the future!”
Olivia’s heart warmed, but also felt distressed. She couldn’t help but reach out and stroke the child’s head. “Silly boy. Even so, you can’t go out to sunbathe like this. You’re still too young to protect me. You can do it when you’re older.”
“I can protect you now, Mommy.” The boy blinked. When Nathan saw how Liam didn’t plan on telling Olivia the truth, a gentle yet distressed expression streaked across his eyes. Why is this boy so mature? “Liam, it’s my fault. I’m sorry… I’ll get to the bottom of this!” Nathan’s brows suddenly furrowed when he thought of how his mother had heartlessly vented her anger on the child. I won’t let this go…
After a while, a nurse walked into the ward and put Liam on a glucose drip. Perhaps he wanted to prove was a strong boy, so Liam sat up straight even though he feared needles. However, the fear in his eyes betrayed him. He looked proud after the needle was inserted as if he wanted to be commended. It was incredibly adorable. He fell asleep shortly after that. Olivia and Nathan came to a silent understanding as they stood by his side.

Two hours later. Liam gradually recovered and was ready to be discharged. Olivia planned to take the child away. “I’ll take the child with me. I won’t trouble you further, Mr. Carter. I also hope you’ll stay away.”
Nathan’s eyes darkened slightly as he interrupted her. “The DNA results will be available soon. Since you’re here, we can check the results together. If the child isn’t mine, you can take him away as you please.” Olivia

didn’t expect him to move so quickly. She looked up at him boldly and said, “Since you insist, Mr. Carter, I won’t object. It’s only right to completely dispel this doubt in your mind!”
