Chapter 1359: Chapter 1362

Elias clung to Stella reluctantly. “I don’t know. He’s burning up, but the doctor said he’s not dying…”

Stella let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad he didn’t scare you…”

Lucas took off his mask and came out at the end of Stella’s sentence. He said, “He’s not going to die, but he’s halfway there. His fever is almost forty degrees.”

“What’s with that blaming tone? I’m not the one who gave him the fever,” Stella said.

“I won’t blame you. Even Weston wouldn’t complain a word about you. What can I say?”

Lucas put his mask away and looked at Stella for a moment. “You can visit him once he wakes up.”

Stella’s gaze flickered for a moment. She said to Elias, “Would you see him later?”

“Mommy! Aren’t you coming?”

Stella shook her head and said, “I better not see him yet…”

Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned to Stella at that. “Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind?”

Stella nodded. “We have to say goodbye sooner or later, so why not desensitize him as soon as possible? He’ll let go one day.”

“What if he can’t?”

Stella remained silent. Lucas looked at her in silence. After that, he shook his head and turned away to leave. It was none of his business in the first place.

Sometime later, Weston finally woke up. Elias was the first that came into his sight.

Weston smiled at Elias and rubbed his head. “Sorry. I scared you earlier, didn’t I?”

Elias shook his head. “You didn’t. Everyone gets sick. I’m not a kid. You didn’t scare me at all.”

Weston laughed. “You’re not a kid? What are you then?”

“I’m an adult.”

“A three–year–old adult?”

Elias glared at him. “I’m leaving!”

Weston’s tone softened at once. “Okay. You’re an adult.”

Elias stopped walking after seeing the way Weston softened at him. “Alright. You’re sick, so I’ll stay with you a little longer, but only for a little while!” Elias stressed, to which Weston naturally nodded in reply.

After a while, Weston began to keep glancing at the door. Elias could tell who he was waiting for but remained silent.

Two young nurses happened to pass by the door to the ward and suddenly started chatting. “I heard that Cicily, the famous pianist, just came by…”

“When was that? I didn’t know!”

“I think she’s gone. I heard she was visiting someone and had a little boy with her….”

Alerted, Elias stood up and wanted to close the door. However, he was too late. Weston had already pulled the needle on the back of his hand and got up from the hospital bed.

“No! You have to keep the IV drip on! Get back in bed!”

Weston refused. He looked at him solemnly and asked, “Your Mommy came, didn’t she?”

Elias did not answer and avoided Weston’s gaze.

Weston knew the answer as soon as he saw Elias’s response. He pulled the door open and went out immediately.

Weston rushed to the elevator and kept pressing the button. He stared at the closed elevator door for a moment. Then, he suddenly turned around and ran straight down the stairs.

The needle hole on the back of his hand was still bleeding, but he did not seem to feel it.

The staircase was quite empty. Weston rushed downstairs at lightning speed and finally saw Stella, who was already at the hospital entrance.

Weston mustered all his strength when he ran down earlier, but when he got behind her, he was afraid to proceed.
