Billionaire’s Runaway Bride

From Aimee’s perspective:

My mind was filled with Penn’s words, so I couldn’t sleep. But when I heard the door of the room open, I instinctively closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I really didn’t know how to face Penn, so I could only choose to avoid him. “Aimee?” Clayton’s cautious voice sounded in the room. I was stunned, knowing that he came to see me on purpose. After hesitating for a few seconds, I opened my eyes and said, “Mr. Clayton.” He breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought you were asleep and was just about to leave.

I didn’t expect you to be awake.” I smiled nervously, not daring to look at the person next to him. “How do you feel now?” Clayton’s tone was full of concern.

I gratefully smiled, “I don’t feel much, just a little tired. I’m sorry for worrying you.” He furrowed his eyebrows,

“You don’t have to be so polite with me. I haven’t told the old man about this yet, I’m afraid he can’t handle it. You can think of me as his representative coming to see you. I came in a hurry and didn’t buy any condolences.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. He frowned and asked, “Speaking of which, do you really have no idea why the experiment went wrong?” I shook my head and looked down. I felt that this incident was likely to be man-made.

But that experiment has been conducted by Dave and Dexter, three of them.

Dave had no reason to tamper with the experiment.

As for Dexter, we have known each other for so many years. I feel that Dexter is always reliable.

I don’t think he would do such a thing.

Besides, Dexter was the first one who found something wrong in the experiment.

After a while, Clayton smiled as if nothing had happened. “Then it’s really strange. Since it’s an internal matter of your research institute, we’ll talk about it when you get better. Before that, you’d better have a good rest!”

I pulled my lower lip weakly.

“Then I won’t disturb your rest.”

I nodded and watched him leave.

However, I couldn’t help but look at Penn. I couldn’t help wondering whether Clayton’s words were his guess or Penn’s question?

Sensing my gaze, Penn suddenly stopped and looked back.

I quickly looked away and pulled up the quilt as if nothing had happened.

Walking out of the ward, Clayton came straight to the point. “Penn, I don’t think it’s that simple.”

I nodded. “I have such doubts, but it’s not the time to look into it.”

The most important thing now was to make Aimee recover as soon as possible.

“I’m relieved to see that Aimee is all right. Please take Aimee’s safety seriously these days.”

No matter what was the purpose of the man who had tampered with Aimee’s experiment, it was inevitable that he would do it a second time.

Even if the chances were slim, everyone couldn’t let their guard down.

With a serious look on my face, I nodded and said, “I will.”

Clayton patted my shoulder and said, “Aimee needs someone to accompany her. You should go in and I won’t disturb you. Is there anything else I can help with?”

I gratefully smiled at him and said, “The children are in the next room and probably haven’t slept yet. Can you take them out for a meal? I need to call them over, and they probably haven’t eaten yet.”

He agreed without hesitation. I knocked on the door of the next room. As expected, the little ones hadn’t rested yet. Just as I knocked on the door, Aviva ran out anxiously, “Uncle, did something happen to Mommy again?”

Seeing the little one’s anxious look, I was moved and reached out to comfort them by patting their head, “Your mommy is fine. I thought you haven’t eaten dinner yet, so Uncle Clayton will take you out for a meal.”

Upon hearing this, the little ones refused without hesitation, “No! We want to stay with Mommy!”

I’m not good at coaxing children, so when I heard the little ones refuse, I was at a loss. Clayton patted my shoulder and said, “Let me talk to them.”

I hesitated for a moment and stepped aside. Clayton crouched down and whispered something in Aviva’s ear, which immediately changed her expression. Soon, Clayton returned with the three children in front of me.

“I’ll take the children out for a meal first and bring them back later. You go in and accompany Aimee!” I nodded and said, “Thank you.”

He smiled and took the children into the elevator. As the elevator doors slowly closed, I still had some doubts in my mind. But I felt relieved to leave the children with Clayton. After standing in place for a few seconds, I turned around and walked back into the hospital room.

Aimee’s POV:

Upon hearing the noise at the door, I knew it was Penn coming in alone and nervously closed my eyes to pretend to be asleep.

“I’ve thought about it, and after what happened, I can’t force you to accept me, but Aviva and Cyrus can’t be without a father,”

Penn’s voice suddenly sounded in my ear, sounding low. At this point, I inexplicably tensed up, afraid to hear what he had to say next. But he continued, “If you don’t want me to be their father, I can help you find their biological father. At the very least, he should fulfill his duty as a father!”
