Chapter 69: He Has a Son?!

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN:

He Has a Son?

--

The corridor of the hospital is cold and silent. The floor is cleaned like they were polishing a diamond, it
even reflects the shine of the light coming out from the blubs embedded in the ceiling. There are sofas
and chairs along the way, the doors of the rooms were closed tightly. Specks of lights are pouring out
from the gaps of the door and the floor, and the glassed window. The hospital looks deserted if not for
the group of five people- which consists of for adults and a 5-year-old kid- walking and passing the
rooms.

"Uhm," Melanie tried her best to get their attention while whispering. The whole place is so quite that
she felt bad about making noise. What if she wakes up the other patients in the hospital? And since
there are nothing but silence surrounding them, the other three caught it. “I’m really sorry about this…”

Melanie’s eyes looked at Tyler who is carrying the little Kai in his arms. The boy is comfortably leaning
on his shoulder with little snores coming out from him. He was fast asleep. They already explained
things to him earlier before they head out, leaving Becca to look after Althea. Jack has classes
tomorrow so he can’t accompany her, but he’ll come back in the hospital after his classes. It would be
fortunate for all of them if her friend will come early and if Althea will regain her consciousness.

Kai did not even ask any more question after confirming that he will only be at their care for a short
while until his mother wakes up. He is a smart kid, he understood very well. And it seems like it wasn’t
the first time that he’s not under his mother’s care.

After their discussion, the forcedly woken up kid begun to get sleepy again, and that was when they
decided to head out. Melanie will stop by her room tomorrow before setting out. She has to bring their



clothes. She was worried about Becca freezing to death, but fortunately, they managed to request a
pair of blanket and pillow. Now she only has to pray for that nothing else will happen.

Tyler adjusted the little boy’s position on his arms. He was slipping for a bit. Kai stirred, so to avoid
making him wake up, he begun patting his back. He has no idea what he is doing. He never had taken
care of any children ever. He just knows that rocking and patting them lightly will help them fall asleep.
He doesn’t know if it works to a five-year-old kid though. Luckily, Kai went back to sleep, snuggling on
the crook of his neck.

Feeling that the child’s body relax against his, like he was familiar to him and comfortable, Tyler can’t
help but draw a smile on his face. He was glad that he wasn’t rejecting him. He thought that he will be
like his mother, a polite one but despise him. He was even shocked when he accepted that he has to
stay with him for a while. Tyler thought that he will reject the idea, but Kai did not even throw a fit.

Although it’s unexpected and he did not even plan it, he was glad that they will entrust Althea’s son to
him. He also dislikes the idea of just entrusting him to anyone. It’s better to look after him himself.

“It’s okay,” Victoria was the one who answered Melanie’s worry. She gracefully flicked her hand on the
air to let her know that she’s not even bothered. “Don’t worry about it. I’m pretty sure…” She briefly
glanced at her own son and smirk at him before looking back at Melanie with a sweet and innocent
expression. “My son will ‘thoroughly’ take care of him. You see, he really, really, likes children.”

“…” Tyler had nothing to say about her exaggeration. He sighed deeply before reassuring her again.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

Melanie tried to find a hint of discomfort or any sign of being forced but there was none. Heaving a sigh
of relieve, she finally smiled. “If you say so. I’ll thank you on behalf of Althea, you have done so much
for her.”



Victoria chuckled, thinking of something not and at the same time, vicious. She waved her hand. “Don’t
think deeply about it. We are just laying the foundation.”

Tyler glared at his mother while Victoria throwed a wink to Melanie. Melanie on the other hand can’t
understand what she meant about that. To not offend the older one, she just gave a small polite smile.
They went back to their silent walking. They were on the third floor, so they have to take the elevator,
and when they entered it, Jack, who was silent the whole time and was waiting for an opportunity to
speak, finally asked the thing he kept wondering about.

“Hey- uh, Tyler,” He called out, he was the one who entered last. The elevator’s door closed after
Melanie pressed the ground floor and the cart begun moving down. Three pairs of eyes looked at Jack.

“Yes?” He answered.

Jack rubbed the back of his neck. He was a little bit unsure if he has to ask this question. But under the
gaze of three people, he gave in. Sigh, he was not that kind of man who easily falter under gazes. Jack
wonders what’s wrong. Maybe because he’s in front of two big people?

“You have a company right- I mean, you run a company, right? Like your mother…?” He glanced at
Victoria, Victoria returned his glance with a smile and nod.

“Yes.”

“Then, taking care of Kai will be hindrance to your work, right? You have to focus more on your work
since it’s big. Are you sure it’s alright?”

“Ah.” Tyler paused, realizing it just now. Even Victoria raised a brow.

Goodness! Melanie begun to worry again. She looked at the mother and son pair then to Kai who is
peacefully sleeping on Tyler’s shoulder. Tyler immediately know what kind of thoughts is circling inside



her head. He sighed.

There’s nothing to really worry about. Tyler shook his head. “I have maids in the house, they can take
care of him…”

Truthfully, he has an important meeting tomorrow. He is supposed to go home right away after the
party, but things happened. It’s nearing ten and he has yet to rest and put himself to a relaxed mood
and ready for tomorrow, then he has another one to worry: Althea’s son. But it’s not really a big burden,
his staffs in his house are enough to take care of him. He’ll make sure to make the kid feel like it’s his
own home. He’ll order them to make his stay enjoyable.

Melanie sighed again. “It seems like I am worrying for nothing.”

Jack agreed, the elevator opened and after arriving in the parking lot, before parting ways, Tyler asked
the two about what are the things he needs to watch out for his foods.

“Aside from peanuts, his not allergic to anything.” That was Jack’s answer.

Both Victoria and Tyler watched the truck drive away from them. Tyler already put Kai in the backseat,
luckily, he has spare clothes in his car and made them his makeshift pillow. It’s cold outside. When the
truck is out of sight, Tyler silently looked at the hospital. Victoria was about to enter his car when she
saw him look back. She raised her eyebrows.

“Don’t worry son, I’ll make sure they’ll give her the best treatment there, my friend owns this hospital.”

“… I know.” That’s why they are allowed to stay longer than the others even though it’s past visiting
time. Tyler turned to enter his car. Victoria humped when his son did not even bother opening the car’s
door for her. Such unfilial son.



When they already fasten their seatbelts, Tyler begun his slow drive. Since he has a kid on the back,
sleeping, he has to be extra careful. Victoria scoffed. “Now you act like he’s your son, huh?”

“… Althea said he’s not.” Tyler whispered.

Victoria chocked on her saliva. “What makes you think he’s yours? Wait- why did you even asked her in
the first place?! Are you serious?”

Tyler went silent. He has no idea how and what to explain. Will he tell her that she once claimed that
she was pregnant with his child? But he was scumbag and a stupid jerk who did not even tried
confirming whether it’s true or not, then denied it? How can he explain how he accused her of having
sex with someone aside from him? He can’t.

Tyler gripped the wheels tighter.

He’s so ashamed of himself. How and where did he even get that courage to pursue her again?

Victoria was left gaping. She has many questions is her mind but she’s sure he wont answer it by the
gloominess in his face. She sighed and leaned her back on the seat. “Tyler, you have to do this right,
got it?”

“Huh?”

“Get that kid’s heart!” She pointed at Kai. “As far as I know, Althea’s not married yet. Win the kid’s heart
first, act like a father’s figure, then get him by your side. By that, you’ll increase your chances.”

“…” His stupid mother. Now he knows why she suddenly made him volunteer about it. She has this
kind of plan all along. Nonetheless, this made him laugh. “You have a point but there’s no way I will be
using him for that.”



“oohhh…” Victoria wiggled her brows. “Confident, are we?”

“I just have no plan using innocent people. And if he knew about that plan, he’ll hate me.”

“Okay, whatever.” Her phone rang. Tyler glanced at his mother fishing out her phone from her clutch
briefly. Victoria read the new message and she smiled widely. “Hey, drop me off to your father’s house.”

It was Tyler’s turn to raise an eyebrow, but he didn’t say anything. He drops off his mother to his
father’s house like what she said, and he just looked at her getting out like she’s going to a date or
something. Tyler sighed, looking at the rear mirror to check at Kai, he hit the road and drove home. His
guards opened the enormous gates of his house, and when he arrived in front of the stairs leading to
the footsteps of his house, he jumps off from the car and opened the back seat.

“Good evening sir.” His driver greeted him with two maids following behind his back.

“Good evening.” He replied. He made half of his body enter the backseat and carefully heave the
sleeping boy to his arms. Like a delicate glass, he held him close and puts one of his hands on top of
his head.

The three was shocked when they saw a boy. The two maids especially, has their eyes bulging.

Who is that kid? Why is it that they never saw him before? Why is their boss holding him like that? Is he
boss’s son? With whom? Pretty sure it’s not Sheryl!

Another maid appeared, but her uniform is different from the other two. She’s the head maid. She was
the one who took care of Tyler when he was still a kid. She’s known for not expressing her emotions,
she’s stern and strict.

When she saw what was happening, she herself can’t help but raise a brow. Among the four of them,
she was the only one who asked boldly, “Sir, may I ask who that is? Your kid?”



Tyler paused then looked down at him. Kai was still soundlessly sleeping on his shoulder.

Who is this child? Tyler smiled, which shook the four again. “He is not mine. Not yet.”

The stern maid almost choke, the driver and the other three can’t help but release a sound of shock.
The head maid glared at them after she fixed herself. She can understand their shock since she’s
shocked too. But they can’t be rude in front of Tyler.

Tyler ignored their shock, instead, he gave them a series of orders. “Prepare a room for him. Make sure
the room is comfortable and warm. Check his sizes and order clothes for him.”

“Yes sir!”

“Good, at the meantime, he will be with me. Just knocked on my door when it’s ready.”
