Will couldn''t speak. In the end, he fainted.


    In an instant, a cold aura surrounded Byron like the brewing of a storm. It was as if he had instantly returned to the situation when he saw Will being abandoned in the hospital


    Fortunately, Damian soon brought Dr. Foster over. Only then did Byron suppress his rage and carry Will back to his room with a dark expression.


    Harold quickly gave Will a full body checkup and then said respectfully to Byron. "Mr. Mcdaniel, William might have eaten something bad


    Byron asked, "Since he ate something bad, why would he faint?!


    "William has a weak physique and his stomach is weak. He usually cats light and healthy food. If he suddenly eats something cold or greasy, he will have a severe gastrointestinal traction, Harold exined. "In addition, Mr. William is a little anemic, so he fainted and will wake up soon."


    Byron frowned. Then, he turned his head and instructed Damian beside him, "Ask Archer to check where Will went today."


    Yes, Mr. Mcdaniel, Damian replied and left.


    Byron then asked Harold, "Will fainted. Will this cause any irreparable consequences to his body?"


    Don''t worry. After these few years of recuperation, Mr. Wim''s physique is much better than before. As long as he pays attention to his diet and takes medicinal food on time, it won''t affect him" Byron nodded slightly. He looked at the pale-faced Will, who was still unconscious and pursed his thin lips tightly.


    "Dr. Foster, is it possible to restore Will''s health to normal?" he asked in a low voice.


    "Well" Harold hesitated for a moment. Tm sorry. With my current ability, I can only maintain Will''s physical condition at a stable level"


    It might have been possible if it was the miracle doctor of the Chatterly family.


    However, Byron did not like that miracle doctor, so Harold did not mention it


    After the intravenous drip was done, Harold put down the medicine and left. Not long after, Archer called.


    When Byron heard that Will was with Maeve in the afternoon and had eaten at McDonald''s, the coldness in Byron''s eyes almost materialized.


    Four years ago, Maeve abandoned Will and left. He wondered about her intentions now.


    "Got it," Byron said coldly and hung up.


    Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that Will had sat up at some point in time. There was a hint of confusion on his delicate face. He had just woken up. "Dad, what''s wrong with me?" "You ate something bad. Byron walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Looking at Will''s confused little face, he asked. slowly, "Does your stomach still hurt?"


    Will shook his head. Just a little. Don''t worry, Dad."


    Byron gently pressed Will''s head. "Did you go to McDonald''s with someone today?"


    "Yeah."


    "Stay away from her in the future. Don''t get close."


    Will tilted his head in confusion. "Why? Do you know that woman?


    at


    Byron''s thin lips twitched slightly mention of Macve. There was an inquestionable dominance on his cold face. "There''s no reason. If she approaches you in the future, just ignore her. Will''s curly eyshes drooped. After a long moment, he said, "The food at McDonald''s is delicious, Dad"


    "You''re in such pain, yet you still think it''s delicious?"


    "Yes" Will''s hoarse voice was soft. "I want to dine there with you


    Byron frowned. The doctor said that you can''t eat junk food argnore. It''s not good for your health


    He didn''t tell Will directly that he couldn''t. Instead, he told Will the pros and cons and let Will weigh them.


    Will was not an ordinary four-year-old child. He was much more intelligent than ordinary children. He would understand if Byron reasoned with him.


    However, after a moment of silence, Will suddenly asked, "Dad, what kind of person is my mother?"


    In an instant, Byron''s eyes turned cold.


    Why are you suddenly asking about your mother?" He narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, his tone unchanged. "Who said anything to you?"


    When Will was only two years old, he asked Byron once where his mother was. After that, Will never asked Byron this question again.


    Byron wondered if Maeve had said something to Will.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "The woman who treated me to McDonald''s saved me today. Will said.


    "And!"


    Will thought of the gentle fragrance on Maeve''s body and her patient face when she put on the napkin for him. A trace of confusion appeared in Will''s usually calm and clear round eyes.


    "If I had a mother too, would she be like that woman who would protect me at all costs when I was in danger?"


    Maeve made Will curious about the mother he had never met,


    However, he had known since he was young that his mother had abandoned him and his father and would nevere back.


    In order not to make his father sad, he had never asked about her


    Byron''s heart tightened when he heard Will''s curious and disappointed question."


    Perhaps it was because Will was usually too quiet and sensible that Byron had neglected something.


    Will was still a child, and he still yearned for motherly love.


    "Will, do you want a mother?" Byron asked.


    Will thought about it and shook his head. "Dad, I''m just curious about it. I''m not looking forward to having a mother."


    III


    In Will''s opinion, if its mother had loved him too, she wouldn''t have disappeared for so many years.


    Byron raised his hand and stroked Will''s head. His gaze was slightlyplicated.


    He could make up for the motherly love that Willcked.


    However, he would not let Will acknowledge Maeve. Maeve didn''t deserve to be Will''s mother.


    On Friday, Maeve rushed to the studio after sending Theo to kindergarten. She received a call from the private detective in Belldol.


    The private detective said. "Ms. Reese, I''m afraid the matter you entrusted me with is not easy to handle."


    Maeve frowned. "What do you mean?"


    "The address of the hospital you gave me went out of business two years ago because of poor management. I heard that before that, the surveince footage was erased because of a malfunction. The situation four years ago can''t be traced. "Also, I went to visit the gynecologists and nurses you mentioned. They all said that it had been too long and they couldn''t remember what happened back then."


    Maeve''s heart sank at the detective''s words.


    "What about the list of newborns to be cremated? Don''t hospitals send dead babies to be cremated? There''s got to be record of that, right?"


    The detective said, "I''ve also verified this. Unfortunately, the day you gave birth was not recorded in the file, and there was. no cremationinformation either" Maeve took a deep breath. She thanked the detective before she broke down, and hung up.


    She thought, Is God punishing me for abandoning my child and leaving? Therefore, I''m not even given a chance to make up for it


    After squatting on the ground and taking a long time to calm down. Maeve stood up expressionlessly. She took her bag, left the studio, and drove to Belldol.


    The private gynecology and obstetrics hospital from back then had long been bulldozed, leaving only a wilderness.


    Maeve walked over with a bouquet of budding daisies. Based on her memory and estimation, she arrived at the location. closest to the delivery room


    She looked into the void as if she wanted to see the distant past through this open space.


    Her heart was in so much pain that it was bleeding. A low murmur dissipated in the wind. "I wish you well in your next life"
