Chapter 24 The Little Boy?
Chapter 24 The Little Boy?
Ann went to pick up Nikki from Betty and bought some antipyretic when passing the pharmacy
downstairs.
Just as she was about to go upstairs with Nikki, she saw Phillip standing at the entrance.
Even though it was dim in the staircase, Ann could see Phillip's gloomy expression.
Phillip stared at Ann's pale face. After a while, he asked, "Why didn't you answer your phone?"
Ann subconsciously touched her pocket and realized that she didn't bring her phone.
However, she did not want to explain to Phillip. She just said, "Mr. Phillip, I have asked for leave today. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
If this is about work, I will do it tomorrow."
Phillip went gloomier as his gaze fell on the bag with antipyretic in it. He frowned.
"You didn't go to the hospital?"
Ann was shocked. This man called her many times and ran over to look for her just to ask her this?
What he did should not happen between a boss and an ordinary employee.
"Mr. Phillip, I'm an adult now. I can handle this myself. People would get the wrong idea if they see you
here." Ann pursed her lips and said.
As she spoke, she was about to bypass Phillip and walk upstairs, but Phillip suddenly bent down and
picked up Nikki with one hand. Then he walked towards the Rolls-Royce that was parked beside.
"Phillip, what are you doing?" Ann was shocked and caught up with Phillip.
Phillip looked at her with a meaningful smile on his face.
He looked down at Nikki who was holding his collar in fear and coaxed her.
"Your mommy is sick. Shall we take your mommy to the hospital?"
Nikki, who had been frightened, instantly became serious. She turned around and stretched out her
small hand to touch Ann's forehead. She blinked and said to Ann seriously.
"Mommy, if you're sick, you have to see the doctor. You should take the medicine and have the
injection!"
Phillip showed a slight smile as he took Nikki into the car. Then he raised his chin to signal to Ann.
"Get in the car."
Seeing Nikki sitting in the car and waving at her, who looked so innocent, Ann gritted and opened the
car door.
...
Arriving at the hospital, Phillip carried Nikki and went in first. He was not afraid that Ann would not be
able to follow him.
The doctor was already waiting inside. After Phillip entered, he directly sat down on a chair with Nikki in
his arms. Ann stood at the door, wearing a complicated expression. Looking at her, Phillip raised his
eyebrows slightly.
"What are you standing there?"
Ann was stunned for a moment and she felt nervous. She ignored Phillip's teasing words and politely
told the doctor about her symptoms.
The doctor was very professional. He quickly prescribed the medicine. Then he told Ann to lie down on
a single bed nearby and she needed to put on an intravenous drip.
Ann had been afraid of injections and needles ever since she was a child.
There was a symptom called "needle phobia", so she never dared to go to the hospital alone.
Although she tied her best to relax, her body was still a little stiff.
The doctor didn't know what to do but told her. "Miss Ann, relax your hands. Don't hold them so tight."
When Phillip saw this, he smiled. Ann was still as afraid of needles as before.
Ann was trying to relax when her eyes were covered by a warm hand, and there came a gentle voice
that could be rarely heard.
"Silly girl, don't be afraid."
Ann was dumbfounded and her eyes popped!
This tone...
She recalled the little boy who once covered her eyes and said these words in an arrogant and
awkward tone when she was a child.
She wanted to see Phillip's face, but her eyesight was blocked.
The doctor took the opportunity to quickly help Ann put on an intravenous drip, and then he left. Phillip
also moved his hand away, which was covering Ann's eyes.
Ann turned to look at Phillip. He looked handsome and perfect, but he was different from the little boy in
her memory.
She looked down and tried to conceal the sense of loss. She was annoyed about herself.
'What are you thinking about? Phillip and the little boy are different. How can they be the same
person?'
"Mr. Phillip, thank you for taking me to the hospital. I will go back by myself. You could leave if you have
work to do."
Phillip hugged Nikki and sat down on the sofa beside her. Then he glanced at her.
"Since I've decided to help you, I'll stay here with you and take you home. I'm in no hurry."
Ann, "..."
Phillip was unwilling to leave. Ann had no choice but to turn her back against him and ignore him.
