Distressed Father

Slowly Liam opens his eyes and sees the man in front of him in a hazy eyes."Daddy."His weak soft voice made Leo fidgets.How did he know?Liam fell asleep again.His body feels so heavy and so light at the same time.Xion from behind smiles."Maybe he is calling for his dad,boss.""Calling for his Dad? Not his mommy?"Leo heard that children called their mother often when they feel distressed, weak or sickly.Xion thinks for a while."His mother is already dead. Maybe he is calling for his daddy to save him in his sleep."Those words totally pierce someone's heart.He was a father, yet he can't save his own son? Leo stops rubbing Liam's head and turns around.Xion feels distressed that the boss is mad at his own words."Boss, it is not…." -not your fault? He ignores his children. Of course it is his fault. But those children are a product of some evil people schemes.They are not because the boss plays around with women.The boss is disgusted when he finds out that those men successfully birthed his children.But before they could use those children against him, he already crushed them and they are unable to get up again.Since they are created to harm Leo, it was not wrong to say he doesn't care about them.Still, he chose to get them if they survive after 10 years.He will raise them until they reach adulthood and then give them money and leave them alone.He only has 2 children.A boy and a girl.Those two have almost the same experience. Luckily for the girl, she still has her mother. But the mother is not that fond of her.He is not a charity.Leo doesn't mind taking the kids but not those disgusting mothers.Luckily, the two kids, one has no mother, one has no affection for her mother.It should be just an easy child collection.No need to be emotional.Yet Leo saw something he will not be able to unsee.His child being brutally hit."Did you send him to prison?" Leo asks."Yes. The Uncle and Aunt are both guilty so I also drag her to the prison. Their son is only 17 so the law will protect him."A serious crime of child abuse and child labor, with Carson's family help will they be able to leave the cell?"Make sure they will be able to enjoy their stay in jail."Leo said coldly.Xion nods."Of course." Then he looks at him. There is always karma in this life.Those evil people will now experience the same bullying they once inflicted the young boy.Still Xion feels that it won't erase the scar inside the boy's heart.He just wishes the boss would care for this son more.Liam wakes up and eats a simple tasteless porridge but greedily ate it like it is a delicacy."Do you know manners?" There is a cold voice coming from the sofa.The CEO is sitting there and coldly staring at Liam.Liam looks at him.He knows he is his father but right now he shouldn't have any idea so he didn't call him.He doesn't know that he already called him Daddy when he is half awake.Liam looks at Leo.'Who are you?' He wanted to start calling him Daddy.Perhaps he will like him more?Like the Main Lead.She is scowled at by the CEO when she calls him Daddy but later the CEO enjoys it.Liam looks down again.He doesn't know if he can act cute like that woman.He is also a transmigrator like her now but he is a 30 year old man inside.Isn't it a bit too much to be sticky?What about dignity?Leo sighs.He is not really mad at Liam.It is just, when he greedily ate that plain rice porridge that has no taste at all,he feels distress and pain inside his heart.He doesn't want him to look like that.Leo stands up and walks to the hospital bed."What are you doing? I didn't say not to eat. Just slowly eat it."Leo said.Liam looks at him.'Who are you?'He doesn't know if his father will like that if he asked."I am your father."Liam is shocked.Did he ask his question loudly?"What's wrong?" Leo felt funny seeing Liam panics.Liam shakes his head."Daddy?"He said it and feels so awkward.Leo flinched and also felt awkward.They are just one man standing looking down at his son.And a son sitting on the edge of the bed with a spoon and small bowl of porridge in front of him placed on the hospital table between them.The door opened and the nurse came in.She was startled to see such a handsome man but looked down on her chart to be professional.Still she can't help sneaking one or two glances.After that she left some medicine and checked the IV then she left."Hurry and eat then drink your medicines.""Um.."Liam sneaks a peak at his father.When did he ever talk to him this softly?Why is he being kind?It's awkward and also he feels nice.He can't help smiling a bit as he eats his rice porridge.There is a banana on the side."Daddy, eat this." He said offering the banana.Leo's eyes dim."You eat it. You need to eat more."He said.Being called Daddy, he doesn't know why it feels nice and also awkward?Leo went back to the sofa chair and read the magazine. From time to time he will glance at the boy who is eating slower but still faster than normal.He is distressed but he can't reprimand him too much.There is a shadow in his heart thinking that his son is too weak and he needs to protect him more.Leo watches as Liam drinks his medicine. He makes faces when it is bitter and looks very troubled with the bigger tablets."Need more water?" Leo asks.Liam flinches and swallows the big tablet.Liam frowns and looks at his father with a wry expression'Big boss ah, don't startle me.'Leo smiles at him then ignores him.Liam froze.Did he see his father smile?He turns around looking for his half sister but she is not around.So he can also smile for me?Liam lowers his head.He didn't know why he felt that his eyes were moistening.Liam rubs his eyes hurriedly in fear that someone will find out that he got emotional.Maybe it was because he is in the body of a child.Even if he has memories from his past. His body and brain are not mature enough.So his emotions are not as stable as an adult."Liam."Liam flinched again.He looks up.He doesn't know that his eyes are looking at Leo with longing."Daddy."Leo's heart tightens.
