As soon as Ernest entered the door, he was shocked to see the scene in the ward.
He didn’t expect Derek to be here, and Derek was even coaxing children.
“Godfather!” Cherry and Blueberry shouted out at the same time.
The Blueberry ran directly to Ernest. As soon as Ernest squatted down, she threw herself into his arms.
“Godfather, why are you here?” Blueberry asked in Ernest’s arms.
“Godfather, I miss you so much!” Cherry shouted at Ernest. She had long forgotten how miserable she looked when she had just gotten the injection.
Hearing the children call Ernest godfather, Derek frowned.
It indicated that Ernest had never left Serina. Moreover, he had been guarding Serina and was very close to the two children.
Derek was a little jealous. He had never seen Blueberry so excited. When Blueberry talked to him, she usually was toneless. But she was so close to Ernest.
According to the response of Blueberry, it was easy to imagine that of Cherry.
The moment Serina saw Ernest, her brain was spinning rapidly. She quickly came to the door and held Ernest’s hand.
“Aren’t you busy filming? Why are you here now?” Her voice was soft, making Ernest a little dazed.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Serina and Serina immediately gave him a meaningful look.
What the hell was this?
“Oh, the crew allowed me to take a holiday. I’ve been available recently.” Ernest replied.
“I see,” Serina said.
Ernest put down the Blueberry, and the atmosphere became awkward again. He didn’t know how to call Derek, let alone what to talk to Derek.
Derek didn’t think much of it as he sat on the bed and did the puzzle with Cherry.
“Is Cherry better?” Ernest asked.
“She’s much better. She can be discharged in two days. Don’t worry about it.” Serina’s voice was still like the breeze in spring.
Such a voice made Ernest get goosebumps. He asked,
“Serina, are you OK?”
Serina pinched Ernest’s arm while Derek turned his back on them.
“Cherry, play by yourself for a while. Dad will go out for a while.” Derek pinched her small face.
“Okay, Dad, see you later.” Cherry focused on her puzzle.
“Bye.” Derek stood up and gave Ernest a look. He tilted his head in the direction of the door and went straight to the door.
Serina also gave Ernest a look and leaned close to his ear, “If he asks about you and me, tell him our relationship is a little more ambiguous. Don’t admit or deny anything, got it?”
“Why are you doing so, sweetie?” Ernest whispered.
“Don’t worry too much. Just do as I say.” Serina answered.
Ernest sighed and walked out of the ward.
Derek was standing in the corridor outside the ward. There was a window over there and he was leaning against it.
Ernest walked over.
Derek took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and handed one to Ernest, “Want a cigarette?”
Ernest shakes his head, “This is the hospital, and it should not be allowed to smoke, right?”
“I forgot this.” Derek put away the cigarettes.
Ernest scratched his head. He didn’t know how to call Derek. Anyway, he read the newspaper that Derek was now named Darion Lambert. If so, was he not related to Ernest by blood?
“I … What should I call you now?” Ernest finally spoke.
The corners of Derek’s mouth raised slightly. It didn’t seem like a real smile, but rather a helpless one.
“I am not your biological uncle,” Derek said in a plain voice.
Ernest doesn’t know what to say. It turned out that he was not the son of his grandfather.
“My name is Darion Lambert now. You can call me Darion.”
“OK.” Ernest breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, it was Derek that had brought him up since he was little. Even if they were not related by blood, it was impossible to erase everything that had happened in the past in an instant.
“Have you been well all these years?” Ernest asked.
“I’m fine. What about you?”
“I’m okay too. I’m still filming and I haven’t accepted the Saint Group. My mother is in charge of everything.” Ernest heaved a sigh of relief, “My mom misses you a lot. Do you have time…”
“I will take some time to visit her.” Derek finished his sentence.
“Fine,” Ernest said.
After that, they fell into silence.
Derek stood up straight, “I promised Cherry to go back early. I got to go.” Derek went straight back to the ward.
Ernest is a little confused. Derek doesn’t ask anything. Except for telling him his new name.
Serina was surprised to find that Derek returned so quickly.
She looked at Ernest who was ready to enter the room. She immediately went to the door and pushed him out by the way, “We’ll go out and have a meal together.”
“What?”
“Stop what. Follow my lead.”
“OK.”
Serina and Ernest returned to the ward.
“Well, Derek, it’s OK for you to look after Cherry and Blueberry by yourself, right?” Serina asked.
Derek looked up at Serina and Ernest standing side by side.
Although Derek was no longer his uncle, Ernest still felt a little timid when he was stared at by Derek, as if it was a residual effect from before.
“No problem.” Derek glanced at them coldly.
“Good. You can take Cherry and Blueberry with you today. Ernie and I’ll go out for a meal and relax.”
“Mommy, are you going on a date with godfather?” The innocent Cherry tilted her head and asked.
“Bingo.” Serina simply replied.
“You want to abandon me.” Cherry pouted.
“Daddy is here with you. Isn’t it good for you to date Daddy?” Derek asked.
“Great! Daddy is here with me. Daddy, are you accompanying me on a date?” Cherry wrapped her arms around Derek’s neck and asked.
“Yes, you are my little love in my previous life. I’ll go on a date with you and Blueberry, okay?”
Looking at Derek speaking to Cherry, Ernest really can’t believe that Derek could be a father like this!
Serina held Ernest’s arm and said, “Then let’s go.”
“OK.”
They walked out of the ward arm in arm.
Walking out of the hospital, Serina loosened her arm.
“What are you going to do, my lady?” Ernest is still confused.
“Don’t ask. Tell me, what did he say to you? Did he ask about our relationship?” Serina looked at Ernest curiously.
Ernest blinked a few times and then shook his head.
“He didn’t?” Serina was very shocked. With Derek’s temper, how could he hold his questions?
