As he approached the hospital bed, the nanny noticed his presence and stood up immediately. She used to be one of the maids from Imperial Garden, and because of that, she knew that Levant was Luke’s father. As such, she politely greeted him the moment she saw him.
“How is Luke?” Levant asked.
“He had a respiratory tract infection. He’s still having a slight fever, but he’s recovering,” the nanny replied.
Levant continued to ask, “Did he make a scene?”
“He was crying a lot this morning. However, this was not a big issue as he fell asleep quickly later on. In fact, he just woke up not long ago. Also, I’ve fed him and changed his diaper. So he’s all good now,” the nanny reported to Levant.
Suddenly, Luke turned his head towards Levant and smiled at him.
The smile took Levant by surprise. He was shaken by the sudden gesture and unexplained emotions that started to brew within him.
Luke, kiddo, are you smiling at me?
I’m a heartless father, so you shouldn’t be smiling at me…
Nonetheless, Luke continued to smile at him. His watery and gleaming eyes radiated immense innocence and charm.
Unconsciously, Levant held out his hand and gently touched Luke’s face. At the same time, Luke’s little arms energetically swayed back and forth and inadvertently hit him from time to time. Looking at the cute child in front of him, Levant couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
Such a loving father and son interaction surprised the nanny. It seems that Mr. Levant likes Luke!
“Mr. Levant, I’ll leave you and Luke alone. Meanwhile, I’ll wash his clothes since they’re piling up,” said the nanny.
“Alright then,” Levant responded.
The nanny happily took Luke’s shirt and headed towards the laundry room.
In the hospital room, Levant was captivated by the angelic kid that was in fact his son. He couldn’t stop staring! Out of the blue, there was a sudden urge to carry Luke in his arms. I wonder how it feels like to carry a baby in my arms?
Before that, he took out his phone and searched on the internet regarding the things that he should be cautious about. After fully understanding the important precautions, he leaned over and carefully carried Luke into his arms.
Perhaps Luke was intrigued with what was going on because his two shiny eyes were staring at Levant in confusion. What are you trying to do?
Levant held him in his arms and scrutinized his appearance. He’s really good-looking. I think he looks like me!
“Luke, will you come with Daddy? Daddy will take good care of you and teach you a lot of things…” Levant was mumbling to Luke.
