"Why have I never seen Daddy, Mom?"
"Is he okay?" Dave asked and managed to make Anna's hand stop for a moment.
"Now don't ask that again, Dave. I don't like it," said Anna after a few seconds of silence, her cheeks suddenly turning red from the tightness that suddenly hit her again.
"He's not your Daddy, okay? You only belong to Mom, understand?" she added in a slightly raised voice.
Dave suddenly froze in place, his face reddened with teary eyes. Because this was the first time Claire spoke with such intonation to her son.
"You'd better take a nap," Anna said again, then walked out of the room leaving Dave alone.
It was only a few minutes later, and Aaron came back into the room with a few maids and a doctor.
Finding Dave was sobbing made Aaron panic and immediately approach his grandson.
"Dave? Why are you crying, honey?" the man asked gently. While the people who were with him kept their distance a little and just kept quiet.
"Where's your mother?" he asked again while rubbing his adorable cheek that was already wet with tears.
"Shut up, honey. I'll give you what you want later, how about that?" said Aaron again trying to persuade his grandson, he didn't know what was going on but it seemed, Claire had scolded her son.
"R-really? You will give me what I want?" asked Dave with a gulp.
"Right, honey. Stop crying now. Let the doctor check you first, okay?"
The person he was talking to just nodded with both hands still attached to his already reddened eyes.
Seeing such a response, Aaron immediately turned to the doctor who was standing not far from him. "Now, you can check him out," he said.
"All right, sir," replied the doctor and walked over to the bed, at the same time Aaron got up from his position and made room for him.
Seeing his grandson who was still sobbing, made Aaron feel pity and could not bear it.
It took a few minutes and the doctor had finished examining the boy's condition.
"He's fine, sir. Don't worry," said the doctor, turning to Aaron.
"Good."
"Then excuse me, call me anytime if anything happens, sir," said the doctor again.
"Okay. Thank you for coming during a heavy rain like this," replied Aaron.
"This is my duty, sir," said the doctor with a smile.
"Little brother, don't cry anymore okay?" he added back to Dave and rubbed his head slowly and very gently.
Those who were spoken to just stared at him silently without blinking.
"Ah yes, you like candy?"
Immediately the boy nodded in approval. "Will the Doctor give me Candy?" Dave replied finally speaking up.
Hearing that, the doctor reached into his bag pocket and pulled out a candy stick from it. The appearance does resemble candy in general, the difference is that the candy contains a lot of vitamin C which is good for immunity.
He immediately put the candy in one of Dave's palms as he said, "Since you have stopped crying, then this candy is for you, Dave."
Dave accepted the candy. "Thank you, but my mother forbade me to eat candy, Doctor," he said sobbing.
"Mom said the candy wasn't good for my teeth," he added, and it managed to make everyone in the room smile and feel very excited at the same time.
"If it's only occasionally, then it doesn't matter, little brother. Trust me, your mother will not scold you just because of this," replied the doctor.
"Really? Can the doctor guarantee it?" Dave asked in all his innocence.
"Of course. It's a gift because Dave stopped crying," the doctor replied with another smile.
Hearing that, Dave glanced at Aaron, only for a few seconds, and then looked back at the doctor.
"Okay, Doctor. Thank you again," said Dave, bowing his head slightly in respect.
It is clear, that Claire educated Dave very well to grow into the person he is today.
Finished giving the candy, the doctor in the room then excused himself and was escorted by several maids to the main door, it was all because of Aaron's request.
Now only the man and his grandson were in the room.
"Don't cry anymore, honey," Aaron said hugging his grandson. At first glance, people might not think that the two of them were a pair of grandfather and grandson due to the appearance of Aaron who was still very young, maybe only a few years older than Devan?
Since then, Aaron has not left Dave's room, and only accompanied his grandson until he fell asleep.
Suddenly the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang, making him flinch and immediately take a step away so Dave wouldn't wake up. When he saw who called him, it turned out to be his secretary.
"Daddy..." Dave was delirious and it made Aaron immediately turn to the boy. His brow furrowed, rubbing his ears, he thought that maybe he had a hearing problem.
Standing on the side of the window while receiving a call from the secretary, Aaron had been in that place for almost ten minutes, his eyes fixed on the yard that looked very green to the eye. Once in a while, his forehead looks wrinkled and then back to normal, indicating that the man was discussing something very serious with the other person on the phone.
"Daddy..." again the boy said the same word, and it didn't go unnoticed by Aaron.
"Okay, you can explain to me the rest in the office tomorrow, go back to work," said Aaron wanting to immediately end the call.
"Yes, sir," came a woman's voice from the other side.
And after that, Aaron disconnected and immediately turned around, approaching his grandson, his senses of hearing again caught Dave's voice when he was next to the boy.
Hearing his grandson calling his father repeatedly in his sleep made Aaron heave a shaky breath.
Suddenly felt very foreign to his own family because until now, he still didn't know anything about his nephews and grandchildren. About who Claire's husband and Dave's father are, and what happened to their family to become what they are today.
Aaron had been very curious about it since the first time he saw his grandson's presence, it's just that he chose to suppress it, not because he didn't dare to ask, but he was more afraid that the question would only make Claire feel uncomfortable.
So he decided to shut up and find out for himself.
