Chapter 304: The Culprit
The doorbell rang again.
Sebastian and Ethan instinctively glanced at Sophia, then stopped Emily from answering the door and went down themselves.
At this hour, the only person who would come to their house was the one looking for Sophia.
When they opened the door, the two children were not surprised to see a man in a suit standing there. Behind him was another man carrying a medical kit, who looked like a doctor.
“Where’s Sophia?” Victor felt a headache coming on when he saw that it was the two children who had opened the door.
These two had an inexplicable but deep-seated grudge against him, and he knew it would be difficult to get past them today.
As expected, the two children blocked the doorway firmly, standing guard and staring at him. “What are you doing here?”
They knew their mommy didn’t want to see their bad daddy. Now that she was sick, seeing him might upset her and worsen her condition.
Thinking of this, the children’s eyes grew even more resolute as they looked at Victor.
Victor could see what the children were thinking and furrowed his brows helplessly. “I heard your mommy is sick, so I brought a doctor.”
He stepped aside to let Dr. Valdez come forward and introduced him to the children. “This is Dr. Valdez, the family doctor for the Leer family.”
Dr. Valdez smiled and nodded at the children.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sebastian and Ethan exchanged glances, still somewhat suspicious. “How did you know mommy was sick?”
Victor replied in a deep voice, “Miss Lee called me and said Sophia came to see your mommy.”
The children hesitated.
They didn’t want to let him see their mommy, but he had brought a doctor…
Victor noticed their attitude softening and mentioned Olivia again. “You two are the only ones taking care of your mommy. She probably hasn’t been to the hospital yet. Let the doctor check on her so she can get better faster. Dr. Weaver is very skilled.”
Hearing about their mommy’s illness, the children’s expressions softened.
Since morning, they had only followed Emily’s instructions to change their mommy’s towel, but her fever hadn’t gone down.
Their mommy couldn’t get out of bed, and they had no way to take her to the hospital.
Dr. Valdez looked gentle and reliable as he smiled at them.
After hesitating for a while, the children reluctantly turned and walked upstairs, leaving the door open for Victor and Dr. Valdez.
Victor breathed a sigh of relief and led Dr. Valdez up behind the children.
Upstairs, Olivia had been waiting for a long time without seeing the children return. She was about to ask Emily to check when she saw them at the door.
Seeing their expressions, Olivia guessed who had come.
No one but Victor could make the children look so upset.
But why was that man here now…
Her fever was likely due to getting caught in the rain last night, which Victor was responsible for.
She had made it clear that she wanted him to keep his distance, yet here he was when she was so vulnerable…
For a moment, Olivia didn’t know how to face him and even hoped he was just there to take Sophia back.
