Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Two Tigers
“Gigi, be a good girl and drink some water. If you have some water, Mummy will take you to see the person you mentioned, okay?”
“Uncle…”
The little girl’s voice was already hoarse from crying so hard; she looked very distressed, but she refused to drink any water.
Those big, red, teary eyes looked at Enna Clark and then at Bobby, whimpering, “Uncle… want…”
Enna Clark was really at a loss, holding the water cup and trying to think of ways to cajole her.
Baron Lawrence and Adam Sinclair had already come over.
Seeing the situation in the room, Adam knew the little one was causing a fuss again.
Speaking of which, Giselle Lawrence was the easiest child he had ever seen to take care of—brave, sensible, and well-behaved. He had seen her many times and had never seen her cry, not even when getting injections; she knew to bear it without tears.
But this time, for some reason, she had been crying nonstop since they returned to the hospital, no matter how they tried to soothe her.
It was not easy to finally get her to sleep on the plane, and she hadn’t slept long before she woke up and started crying again.
Seeing her cry herself into a teary mess, he knew it wasn’t good for her to keep crying like this.
Baron Lawrence also saw the little one struggling to breathe between sobs, and hearing her incessant calls for Uncle, he knew whom she wanted.
His brows furrowed deeply, and his handsome face turned stern as he said coldly, “Enna Clark, get out.”
With her here, she would only be in the way.
Seeing the grim look on his face, Enna wasn’t reassured, “What are you planning to do?”
“She’s my daughter, what can I do?” What did this woman take him for? Even tiger’s venom does not eat its cubs, he might be temperamental, but he would never do anything to his own daughter. Moreover, this child was the one she had struggled so hard to give birth to!
He furrowed his brows and emphasized again, “Get out!”
Although Enna was worried, she still took Bobby and went out first.
She trusted him.
After Enna left, Adam was still standing there, belatedly failing to catch on.
A glance from Baron Lawrence, and Adam suddenly realized, raising his hands, “Okay, I’ll go out too.”
The room quieted down instantly as Baron Lawrence shut the door and walked to the bedside.
The little girl on the bed was still crying, her eyes red and swollen like a bunny’s, looking pitifully sad.
Baron Lawrence pursed his thin lips and walked over to her, extending his hand to touch her forehead…
So hot.
It must have been because she had been crying nonstop; she was running a slight fever.
Baron Lawrence’s features tensed even more!
Giselle Lawrence looked up, her big red eyes watery, sobbing intermittently, “Dad… Uncle… see… Uncle…”
Uncle?
Was she talking about Lyle Westbrook?
Thinking of that man who made him uncomfortable, the temperature in the room plummeted, and a wave of inexplicable irritability surged within him.
Giselle Lawrence, not knowing what fear was, continued to whimper for him, “Just… see… just…”
Her little milk voice was hoarse and stammering.
She looked so pitiful.
Baron Lawrence bent down to look into her clear eyes, and even the greatest irritability subsided. He lifted her in his arms, his proud handsome face struggling to adjust his facial muscles, showing a reluctant but gentle expression. Mimicking Lyle Westbrook’s tone and expression, his voice softened as he swayed her gently, humming, “Two tigers, two tigers, run so fast, run so fast…”
Giselle Lawrence had never heard him sing before; the dripping sound of her sobs gradually subsided…
