Chapter 27 A False Alarm

Paddy shrank in horror. After a while, he shouted, “Helen!” “Ah…” As soon as his voice fell, she cried more heartbreakingly. She felt that her world was turned upside down. Her hand slipped from Antony and she fell to the ground. Antony squinted, stretched out his hand, and held her up by her waist. “The deceased boy wasn’t Paddy. Paddy is still alive.” His low-pitch voice trembled slightly. To be honest, although it was an absurd incident and a misunderstanding, he really witnessed this woman’s feelings towards Paddy, which also deeply touched his heart. The woman, who was a stranger, fainted a few times because of the sadness over a boy who was only with her for more than a month. What kind of heart did this woman actually have? As a comparison, when he called her, he also made the same phone call to Gao Wen. However, despite her anxious tone, she didn’t come to the hospital after hearing that his condition was fine, on the way here. The situation at that time, actually, Paddy was standing on a blind spot when someone reversed the car, and he was accidentally scratched by that person. Paddy rolled out when the car continued reversing, since the car was slow and his reaction was quick, he was fine. Then, Paddy suggested the idea to compare their reactions, which he felt too whimsical. However, at this moment, Antony had a slight change of opinion towards the woman in front of him, and Gao Wen. Why would he marry someone who was impassive towards his son’s life? “It’s not Paddy?” Helen’s eyes were sore and tears fell uncontrollably. “Helen!” Paddy had already stood in front of Helen’s bed. He took his hand and touched her face, “Helen, it’s me, Paddy. I’m alright.” That warm body temperature went through his palm towards her heart. Helen pouted and wiped her tears, which came out more. Her hands trembled as she pulled Paddy into her embrace. After thinking for a while, she let go, and tugged his face. After he let out a hum, she pulled him tightly into her embrace again. “Paddy, you’re alive! I’m so glad that you’re still alive!” “Helen, you went into the wrong ward just now. I heard that the kid was sent here this morning. Because they couldn’t contact his parents, the doctor assumed that you are his mother when he heard that you’re looking for a boy. That’s why you’re led to the wrong room. I’m fine. I just got scratched a bit and that time I was shocked, so Daddy sent me to the hospital.” After Helen heard Paddy’s explanation, she checked him up all over his body, from head to toe. She blinked, then wiped the tears off her face again, and pulled Paddy into her embrace, “If you’re okay, then it’s fine.” It’s just that when she thought of the previous boy, she felt a bit sorry in her heart. Looking from the figure on the bed, he might be around Paddy’s age, but… “That boy’s parents were found not long after you fainted. They said that the boy was born with a low IQ and a congenital heart disease. So, this accident had made him suffered less.” Antony was obvious about what she thought about, so he explained it to her. Helen took a deep breath, nodded, held Paddy in her arms, and didn’t say a word. The feeling of losing something and regained it again, made her had a mixed feeling. Suddenly, she thought of something, then she let go of Paddy, and turned to look at Antony, “Paddy, go home with your Daddy. The air in the hospital is not good.” “What about you?” “It’s been so late. I’ll just sleep here tonight and go straight to work tomorrow morning.” "Helen, I want to stay with you.” This incident made Paddy’s feelings for Helen grew deeper. Paddy had been wondering if Helen is his biological mother, more than once, how good would it be. But, his Daddy said that it was absolutely impossible, because he looked like his mother, then his mother should be a beautiful woman. “Be a good boy, Paddy.” “How about we sent Ms. Brown first?” Antony who was silent before, suddenly spoke up. She didn’t know if she had a false impression, but she felt that his tone wasn’t as cold as how it used to be, instead, it was a lot softer than before. “There’s no need to. It’s been too late. You can just directly go home with Paddy, and also, you didn’t bring any medicine, right? if you stay here, it would be uncomfortable for you to sleep.” After Helen finished speaking, she immediately regretted it. She did think of this matter suddenly, but she forgot about their relationship, and it was obviously inappropriate. “Okay” Antony stared deeply at Helen and the corner of his mouth subconsciously sank. On the way home “Daddy, don’t you feel that Helen is such a kind-hearted person?” Paddy stood on the back seat, patted lightly on Antony’s right shoulder. Antony pondered for a while, before slowly uttered, “She is very kind to you.” But towards him, she was indifferent, didn’t show any interest, and always ignored him. “Then, what about your benefactor? What’s your opinion about her today?” “When she heard that you’re in an accident, she was also anxious.” Paddy rolled his eyes,” Fine, she treats you well.” After a pause, he continued again, “Comrade Davis, I will tell you for the last time. If you are really not interested in Helen, I’ll find another partner for her then.” There were lines on Antony’s forehead, he stretched out and tapped the small hand on his shoulder, “Paddy, if you still don’t show your manner, do you believe that I will abandon you here?” Paddy glared at him and sat back. He crossed his arms and muttered, “If I was born twenty years earlier, do you still think that you had the chance? You’re just taking it for granted.” After both father and son left, Helen didn’t have any intention to sleep anymore. Her mind was full of the things that happened today. Also, she was considering about her resignation. She really liked this job, but after thinking about it, she felt as long as she’s willing to, it might be easy to find a job. There’s Gao Wen and Manager Lin at this place. She didn’t have any desire to continue. After all, she had only done this for several days, so, the sooner she left, the better it would be. The next day, she wrote a resignation letter and headed to Manager Lin’s office. Unexpectedly, when she was about to enter Manager Lin’s office, she saw Gao Wen was sitting inside.
