Chapter 2 Daddy, I'm Your Son

  • The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze as everyone's gaze converged on Hesperus.
  • To them, this handsome and adorable little boy did bear a resemblance to the Ryker family members.
  • He might really be the child of one of the sons of the Ryker family.
  • Oscar had three grandsons. They wondered who this child could be.
  • It certainly couldn't be Abel's, as he had been abroad for years.
  • It was probably the second son, Adrien Ryker. The entire Struyria knew about his romantic escapades.
  • "Emmeline, get out of here!" Alana's face turned dark. "Don't bring some random b*stard here and dream of climbing the social ladder. Do you think the Ryker family doesn't know what kind of person you are? Do you think Mr. Abel would let a woman like you bear his child?"
  • Despite her harsh words, Alana was panicking inside.
  • She knew very well what happened five years ago.
  • She had drugged Abel during one of his brief returns to the country, fully prepared to spend the night with him and thus enter the Ryker family legitimately.
  • She never predicted that Abel would go to the wrong room and end up in Emmeline's room, benefitting her.
  • If not for stealing Emmeline's son through Alondra, she wouldn't be posing as Abel's fiancee now.
  • She could not allow anyone from the Ryker family, especially Abel, to see Emmeline and her child.
  • "This is what Abel gave me." Emmeline took out a bank card. "The cardholder is Abel. It can't be wrong, right?"
  • "Where did you pick this up from? Do you believe in a discarded card?" Alana snatched the card and snapped it in half, throwing it into the trash.
  • Emmeline was momentarily stunned. It was the only thing that man left behind.
  • Without thinking, she slapped Alana.
  • "How dare you hit me? Someone, throw this mad woman and this b*stard child out!" Alana screamed while clutching her face.
  • The bodyguards rushed forward. Emmeline responded with a flurry of punches and kicks.
  • Alana and the ladies were dumbfounded.
  • The bodyguards lay on the ground, groaning.
  • Alana stared at Emmeline. Since when did she fight so well?
  • As Emmeline was considering whether to continue fighting, the door to the ward opened. A dignified, clear voice came through, "Who is making such a racket outside?"
  • The air froze. Alana shut her mouth while the bodyguards scrambled to their feet.
  • It was Rosaline, Lewis Ryker's wife and Abel's mother.
  • Oscar had two sons and three grandsons.
  • Abel was the son of Lewis, Oscar's second son.
  • Alana pointed at Emmeline. "Madame Ryker, this woman was causing trouble. I was just trying to calm her down."
  • "That's not true." Hesperus looked up at Rosaline. He politely yet assertively said, "Young lady, I'm here to find my daddy, not to make trouble."
  • Rosaline's eyes lit up as she looked down at the little boy.
  • This little one did resemble her eldest grandson somewhat.
  • "Who are you talking to?" she asked kindly.
  • "You, of course." Hesperus glanced at Alana, then told Rosaline, "Don't believe this woman. My mommy is not a shrew; she is."
  • Alana couldn't take it. "You brat, who are you referring to?"
  • "Young lady, did you see that?" Hesperus pointed at Alana. "Isn't she a shrew?"
  • Alana hastily covered her mouth, uneasy about her loss of composure.
  • "You should call me Granny." Rosaline patted Hesperus' head. "My grandson is about your age."
  • "Then I'll call you Granny. You look so kind. Maybe you are my real granny?"
  • Hesperus' acting skills soared, melting Rosaline's heart.
  • "Guards, throw these two out!" Alana panicked. "This brat is disturbing Madame Ryker."
  • "Don't bully people." Rosaline frowned. "Just have security escort them down."
  • "No need for security." Emmeline held her son's hand.
  • Since Abel wasn't back yet, there was no reason to stay.
  • "We can leave ourselves."
  • "Mommy!" Hesperus tugged on Rosaline's clothes and waved to Emmeline. "I want to play with Granny a bit more. I'll come back by myself later."
  • Emmeline was about to refuse when she saw Hesperus' big eyes blinking continuously.
  • Does this kid want to be undercover? He really has skills.
  • Nevertheless, she had confidence in her three sons as they were geniuses. No one could bully them.
  • Hence, she left, granting Hesperus' wish.
  • As she left the hospital, she received a call from her assistant. "Madam, Abel himself has contacted us. He hopes Wonder Doctor will treat Old Mr. Ryker. Will you take the job?"
  • "Yes. Tell him I'll go tomorrow."
  • One of Emmeline's hidden identities was the miracle Wonder Doctor. The Ryker family had sought her out many times, but she had not responded.
  • Now that Abel had personally reached out, she had to show respect to him, her children's father.
  • After hanging up, Emmeline got into her car to head home to her eldest son, Helios.
  • However, Helios was already at the airport, waiting at the exit for the man in the photo, whom he heard was his father.
  • Wearing sunglasses, Abel walked by with confidence. There were four bodyguards in front and behind.
  • His powerful aura chilled the temperature of the terminal to freezing.
  • "Has Wonder Doctor replied?" Abel asked coldly.
  • His subordinate's respectful tone carried a hint of relief as he said, "Mr. Abel, Wonder Doctor said she will come tomorrow to treat Old Mr. Ryker."
  • Upon hearing this, Abel's tense expression softened slightly.
  • Oscar's illness had stumped numerous famous doctors, and Wonder Doctor was their last hope.
  • Having performed countless miracles, Wonder Doctor should be able to save Oscar.
  • "Daddy!"
  • A crisp sound snapped Abel back to reality.
  • Looking down, he saw a miniature version of himself blocking his path.
  • Timothy? No, this little guy is chubbier than Timothy…
  • "Kid, you are…"
  • "Daddy, I'm your son." Helios' voice was clear.
