Love Contract

Chapter 174 Where Is Your Dad (Part One)

"How about a fair competition?" Lucas raised his eyebrow and looked at William.

"How can it be fair?" William looked unhappy. "I have children with her. Please leave us alone."

"I don't care." Lucas laughed and added, "It's not a loss for me to raise your children. They call me Daddy anyway!"

"Are you trying to piss me off?" William's face darkened. "How could Elissa call me Uncle?"

"Or what? You want her to call you Daddy? You want to be a father when you have done nothing to the kids?" Lucas sneered, "You wish!"

"I'm also very upset that I wasn't with them during the past four years, okay? If you keep making cold, sly criticisms on me, I'll kick your ass!" William turned furious. "I'm going to tell them now!"

"Don't you dare!" Lucas stopped him immediately. "You would get the opposite result. Calm yourself down first."

"How can I calm down? Huh?!" William rest his arms on his hips and walked back and forth anxiously. "My son is still in a coma, and my daughter called me Uncle. Also, Mary doesn't want me to see them. I'm so annoyed! Perhaps I'll just kidnap them and the four of us will live happily together somewhere far away. Then, we'll leave those men who have a crush on my wife behind.

"Fuck off!" Lucas pushed him aside and said, "I'll keep an eye on you. You've divorced and Mary is not your wife anymore. Don't flatter yourself. Besides, Barry wouldn't let you get away with it."

"By the way, where is Barry Gu?" asked William. "On a business trip."

When William heard that, his eyes lit up. 'This is my chance!'

Lucas saw him, but he ignored William's scheming eyes. With a meaningful look, Lucas said, "I will be having a surgery tomorrow morning so I won't be able to accompany them tonight."

William's eyes lit up again. What a great chance!

"I really don't want you to do it, but please take care of them tonight," said Lucas.

"It's my responsibility to take care of them. I don't need your order!" William glared at him.

"Then don't be impulsive tonight, or else Mary will kick you out of the hospital. In that case, I can't do anything to help you." "Humph!" William gave a cold snort and turned his head away without saying anything else.

"I'm leaving now." Lucas glanced at the ward and continued, "Alick will wake up tonight. Keep an eye on him, please."

"Cut the crap." William glared at him, wishing he would disappear at once.

Lucas just rolled his eyes at William and left reluctantly.

William watched him leave. When Lucas was out of his sight, he walked slowly to Alick's ward.

Through the glass window, he saw Mary was sitting on the sofa with her daughter in her arms. They were both fast asleep.

Part of William's heart softened inexplicably.

William entered the room and tiptoed his way to them. He bent down and touched Elissa's small face. Without a second thought, he took her out of Mary's arms gently.

Although he had hugged her before, it felt completely different when hugging her at this moment. She was his daughter! She was so tiny, fair, and soft. How lovely!

However, the slight movements stirred up Mary. She opened her eyes sleepily, but when she saw William was holding Elissa, her eyes widened.

"What are you doing? Stop it!" Mary immediately jumped up with fear in her eyes.

William was shocked by her reaction. As he saw the fear in Mary's eyes, his heart sank bit by bit. "I just thought that you were too tired to hold her in your arms, so I wanted to put her on the bed to rest."

"You don't have to pretend to be kind," said Mary coldy. She stepped forward and demanded, "Give me back Elissa!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't wake up Alick." William frowned as Mary's voice was a bit loud.

Mary looked in the direction of Alick and said in a lower voice, "Give me my daughter! You can leave now!"

"I'll stay and take care of you tonight." Still holding Elissa in his arms, William patted her back with his big palm, lulling her to sleep.

"No, thank you," said Mary while frowning.

"I just want to see Alick wake up. I'm also worried about him!" William stared at her and pleaded, "Please let me stay. I promise I won't do anything, Mary. Just let me see him wake up.

He was practically begging, and his facial expression showed desperation.

Mary felt a trace of pity in her heart. She was about to say something when Elissa, who was in William's arms, suddenly woke up. "Ah!" Elissa sensed that something was wrong. Still with her eyes closed, she flailed her arms and cried. "Ah! Mommy!"

Shocked by her movements, William held her tightly and tried to comfort her in a soft voice. "Elissa, good girl..."

However, his clumsy behavior made Elissa feel more uncomfortable.

"Wooa! Mommy!" She could not help but cry. "Wah!"

"Mommy is here." Mary took Elissa into her arms right away. She carried her out of the ward while comforting her. "Elissa, don't cry. Mommy is here!"

With an embarrassed look on his face, William followed them out.

Mary took Elissa to the ward next door and comforted her softly. Standing aside, William just looked at them without saying anything

"Mommy, I'm so hungry." Elissa had finally stopped crying and her big black eyes were now wide open.

"Why are you hungry so soon?" Mary was speechless.

"I don't know. I'm just hungry."

"Elissa, would you like to have dinner with... Uncle?" William hesitated for a while before asking. With a flattering smile, he suggested, "I have lots of delicious food and fun toys."

"Uncle! It's you again, Uncle!" Hearing William's voice, Elissa immediately looked up. "Is there a pink piano?"

"Yes, there is." William nodded enthusiastically.

"Then I want to play!" Elissa opened her arms to William, as if asking for a hug.

"Elissa!" Mary's face went long and asked sternly, "What did I tell you before? Be obedient and behave yourself. Why do you want to go with a stranger for just a piano?"

Elissa put down her hands at once. "But Uncle is not a stranger!" murmured Elissa with tears welling up in her eyes.

Mary was taken aback by her response.

William took the opportunity to pick Elissa up. With Elissa in his arms, he walked towards the ward full of toys. "Yes. I know Elissa, don't I?"

"Yeah!" exclaimed Elissa while pouting and with tears in her eyes.

"Uncle has bought a lot of toys for Elissa and your brother," said William, while holding her in his arms. "When your brother wakes up, let's play with him together, okay?"

"Okay." Elissa answered while nodding her head vigorously. With a smile across William's face, he pushed the door of a ward open.

"Whoa!" As soon as she saw all the toys in the room, Elissa's eyes became wide open. Moreover, she forgot that she had been crying earlier. "Wow! There are so many toys!"

"Do you like them, Elissa?"

"Absolutely!" Elissa nodded and struggled to get off from William's arms. As soon as she reached the ground, she threw herself into the pile of toys and said happily, "These toys are as many as the ones Daddy Barry has bought for us!"

When he heard that, William's face darkened but he remained silent.

Mary followed them into the ward hurriedly. She was also astounded at the sight of the room. As it turned out, the toys in the afternoon were sent by William.

"Why don't you come in?" William turned his head and saw Mary by the door.

"Mommy!" When Elissa turned around, she was already holding a teddy bear on her left hand and a Barbie doll on the other. It seemed that she was already preoccupied with toys. "Let's play a doctor and patient game!" Elissa suggested.

"Elissa, play with the baby bear first," said Mary with a forced smile. She then walked to William's side and her smile vanished instantly. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"I just want to fulfill my responsibilities as a father."
