Chapter 660: Uncle Yunting…… Why Do I Need To Call Him Daddy?
Huo Yunting looked after Xuxu the entire night, but the little one showed no signs of movement.
Lu Zhaoyang on the other hand woke up first, and before anything, she gently stroked the young boy’s head.
No fever, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned her head, and coincidentally met Huo Yunting in the eyes, immediately noticing his blood shot eyes.
“Go and get some rest.”
“I’m fine. Till he wakes up.” He wanted to talk to Xuxu, as his father.
Just at that moment, the eyelashes of the little boy shuddered as he slowly woke up. As he sensed pain all over his body, tears started welling up in his eyes, as he gave a pitifully look towards Lu Zhaoyang.
“Yangyang…”
“Xuxu!!”
Lu Zhaoyang immediately turned towards the bed and put him into her arms as she gently patted his back.
“Everything’s alright now, everything is alright now.” When she heard that voice, Lu Zhaoyang hated herself for not being able to shoulder this for him.
“It hurts….”
Xuxu remembered that a boy should not simply cry, so he sniffled hard, as he held back his tears. Biting his lips as he snuggled her in her embrace.
Huo Yunting too came to the bedside as he looked at the little boy, “Xuxu, how are you doing?”
Little Huo Xu looked up with teary eyes, but not forgetting to greet him. “Hello Uncle Yunting…”
“Good boy, I’m your daddy, you’ll need to change how you call me alright?”
He had to set things straight while Huo Xu was still young, and can no longer allow him to call him uncle.
“Daddy?” Xuxu repeated quizzically.
Huo Yunting assumed that he was calling him, and replied with a ‘Yes’. “Good boy.”
Lu Zhaoyang did not want to bother too much about that for now as she pressed the bell, and waited for the doctor to check on Xuxu.”
“Huo Yunting, Xuxu must be hungry, go get something for him,” she gently requested.
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”
At the same time, the little boy gritted his teeth to stop him from crying out in pain as he looked up with his pale face towards Lu Zhaoyang.
“Yangyang, don’t be sad. They’re just small injuries, see, I can still talk to you.”
If it was just minor injuries, the operation would not have taken so long, nor he would have been asleep for that long.
Lu Zhaoyang was very clear, and all the more ached by how understanding her son was, and smiled. “Good boy, it’s all mummy’s fault, I did not take care of you properly.”
“No, that’s an accident. It’s not avoidable.”
The little one did not want to see his mother sad, so his mind sparked, and thought of the earlier topic.
“Why is Uncle Yunting… asking me to call him daddy?”
Lu Zhaoyang vision blurred slightly, she knew the young boy was smart and sensitive, and seeing how she had interacted with Huo Yunting all these while, he could sense something was up.
Even so, she did not want his connection with Huo Chen to drift apart.
So she said, “He is your real father. The last time mummy’s eyes were injured,” she stopped for a bit, before changing, “It’s your Papa Huo Chen that brought me to Washington for treatment. He could be considered your adoptive father, and is also your father.”
Huo Yunting, who was on the phone as he walked into the room chanced upon this conversation, and slowly walked to the bedside. “My son, daddy will take good care of the both of you, I’ll make up for everything that had been lost until now.”
“…So Uncle Yunting did not get me to call him daddy, was it because he only just found out?”
The little one was still unable to change the way he called Huo Yunting, but he perceptively found a clue somehow.
