Anderson’s gaze darkened after seeing his wary action as he said impatiently, “You’re the Clark family’s successor from now on, so you have nothing to do with that woman anymore.”

Lincoln did not show any air of despondency on his face upon hearing Anderson’s remark as though he had anticipated his words. He reached out for the remote control and proceeded to turn off the lights in the room, only leaving the bedside lamp on as he stared at Anderson and said, “You must have been exhausted from work, so please head back now, Mr. Clark. Sophia and I need to go to bed too.”

“I’m your father.”

“If you say so, I will never admit to it anyway,” Lincoln replied while he tucked himself into bed, hugging Sophia whom was beside him as he tried to go to sleep.

This was the first time that Lincoln whom had always remained his composure had let his guard down as he curled himself up under the blanket in the darkness.

He had been informed by Owen about the capability of the man whom had claimed to be his father, and if Anderson did not wish for him and Sophia to be reunited with their mother, he would never get the chance to see his mother ever again.

Lincoln was overwhelmed by devastation as he pulled Sophia into his embrace further, his little hand clenching tightly into a fist when the thought that he might never be able to see his mother again had crossed his mind.

Lincoln’s statement had made Anderson’s blood boil, but he could not utter anything else other than staring at the two small bulges on the surface of the blanket. After shooting a prolonged gaze towards the two small kids on the bed, he finally rose to his feet and went out to light up a cigarette.

Joshua and Antonio could immediately recognize Anderson whom seemed like he was trying to alleviate his sorrows by puffing on his cigarette at first glance when they were making their way to the ward. Joshua promptly called out to him, “What’re you doing here, Andy? Has Sophia woken up?”

Anderson gave him a ferocious glare which had caused him to instantly zip his mouth.

‘I’ve had three surgeries today, so I’ll take a rest now. Talk to you guys later,” Antonio uttered with a smile on his face and proceeded to leave them outside the ward. Joshua leaned on the door to get a glimpse of the situation inside the ward, and after watching Anderson smoking his sorrows away, he had a hunch that he should leave ASAP, “I’ll leave now, Andy.”

Anderson was the only one left standing in the vast and deserted corridor after both of them had taken their leave, and before he could finish pulling on his cigarette, a nurse had walked towards him while carrying a lunch box in her hand, “Smoking is prohibited here, Mister.”
