Chapter 486 Once they reached the restaurant, Olivia pushed the menu up to him and asked, âOrder whatever you want.â
He glanced down. âJust order the cheapest ones, Lady. I can eat anything.â
With that said, he looked down sheepishly. His ears reddened slightly as he looked a little reserved.
Scared that he did not understand the menu, Olivia did not pursue it. She turned to look at the waiter. âSeafood pasta, steak, fries, beef burger, and cola.â
The waiter nodded, poured a glass of water for both of them, and turned away.
âYou neednât be so reserved. Iâm not a bad person.â With that said, Olivia clicked on Lylaâs photo and showed it to him. âLook, I have a daughter. Isnât she cute?â
He nodded dully, looking out of the window from time to time.
Olivia then remembered that she seemed to have kidnapped someoneâs child.
âAre you afraid your family wonât be able to find you? Do you have your momâs or your dadâs number?â
He shook his head.
âWho did you come to the hospital with? Are you here to visit your family? Or are you here to see a doctor?â
Olivia thought the child was thin. His long hair covered his forehead, obscuring his gaze from her.
There was a momentary pause before he finally spoke.
âMy uncle is ill and hospitalized.â
âWhere are your parents?â
âNo.â
Olivia froze. âNo?â
âYes, I have no mother.â
Olivia felt a tightness in her chest as if she could not breathe.
Seeing that she looked ill, he asked cautiously, âLady, are you okay? Are you sick too?â
Olivia forced a smile and shook her head. âIâm fine. Why were you running so fast earlier?â
He kept his head down and said nothing for a long time. âLady, I want to go to the toilet. May I?â
âOkay. Yes, Iâll show you the way.â
Olivia was afraid the child would run away, so she got up and went with him.
At the toilet entrance, she watched the kid walk toward the menâs room, reached out, and pulled him back. âThe ladiesâ room is this way.â
The kid who was caught blushed instantly. âIâm a boy.â
Olivia. â...â
She instantly let go, coughed, turned around, took two steps outside, and said under her breath, âIâll wait for you outside.â
The child looked so dainty, skinny, and gentle. With such long hair, the child looked like a girl to her no matter what. However...
How embarrassing!
Especially since two embarrassing things happened on the same day, Olivia now wanted to die.
She must not have checked her horoscope predictions before she went out today.
The boy soon came out, his ears still red. He glanced sheepishly at her. âLady.â
âAh, youâre out. Wash your hands. Letâs eat. Our food should be served by now.â
The boy nodded.
When they returned to the table, the waiter had just finished serving their food. He nodded at the sight of her. âAll the food you ordered is served, Miss.â
âThank you.â
Olivia pushed the pasta, steak, and cola to him. âDig in.â
With that said, she pointed at the burger and said, âYou can take this home.â
The boy froze and bit his lip. He did not speak or touch the food in front of him.
Afraid he was angry, Olivia quickly explained, âIâm sorry for just now. It was my fault. Iâll apologize. Donât...â
Before she could finish, the boy suddenly looked up at her. âLady, thank you. My name is Sam Ginger. I will remember you.
âI will repay you when Iâve grown up.â
