“Mr. Campbell, Joshua was hospitalized!”
Menu
The next morning, Gabriel, who had received the news, hurriedly rushed to the hospital and deliberately lowered his voice when he pushed the door open.
Inside the house, Hazel was keeping watch over the child receiving intravenous drip.
Seeing Joshua lying weakly in the hospital bed, his heart tightened and he softly asked, “How did Joshua suddenly develop a fever?”
She glanced at her son, arranged for someone to guard him, and took Gabriel to the corridor outside.
“Joshua, it was intentional.”
In the morning, the butler went to wake him up for school, but found the room unusually cold, and Joshua was already lying in bed, half asleep.
On the way to the hospital to drop off the child, Hazel had someone check the indoor surveillance and found out that Joshua had set the air conditioner to around ten degrees before going to sleep and had slept without covering himself with a blanket all night. When he was delirious with a fever, he kept saying… he wanted his mom and dad to be together. It was not difficult to guess the child’s thoughts, but Hazel was heartbroken that he used his own body as a bargaining chip.
As soon as the words fell, a man’s coat fell onto her shoulders.
Hazel lifted her gaze and collided with his pitch–black, profound eyes, as if they had opened up a secluded space just for her. Inside, there were dark shades that she couldn’t comprehend, but they disappeared in an instant.
It happened suddenly. Hazel didn’t have time to change her clothes, so she went to the hospital wearing her pajamas and sweatpants. Although the temperature in the hospital ward was relatively low, she didn’t feel cold as she had been solely focused on her child before. The coat on her body still carried the man’s body temperature. Hazel avoided the path and said, “No need, thank you.”
She returned the coat to him and walked to the other side.
Gabriel came in a hurry, not dressed in a suit and tie. He grabbed a casual outfit from the wardrobe and quickly put it on before rushing over. His hair was also unkempt, with small strands falling over his forehead, highlighting his pitch–black and shiny eyes. In the quiet hospital corridor, she heard his voice low and hoarse, “Put on your coat, there is already someone at home with a cold.”
Hazel gave him a glare and said, “Be careful with your words in front of others.”
Gabriel:“…”
་་
He glanced at the time and said, “I’ll have the driver take you back, I’ll stay here.” Hazel said that she could only relax once the child’s fever had subsided, while he looked at the bloodshot eyes in her gaze and urged her, “Listen, Leila will be worried if she wakes up and can’t find you.”
Listen? Ha!

She shivered and got goosebumps all over her body, “You speak in a greasy way.” Gabriel:“?”
Joshua had to stay in the hospital for at least a few more days, waiting for the child to finish the IV drip and have breakfast.
Hazel stayed with Joshua for a while, but he didn’t wake up. She glanced at their peacefully sleeping little son inside and decided to go back to tidy up some fresh clothes for him, and also bring some food.
Gabriel comforted her, “Joshua would be fine.”
Hazel faintly responded.
Gabriel escorted her out, her sharp and delicate features were outlined to utmost softness by the dim lights in the corridor.
At the elevator entrance, he still wanted to say something, but Hazel didn’t give him the chance.
Gabriel stood at the elevator entrance and did not leave for a while.
Nowadays, his relationship with Hazel is cold and distant, with no communication except in front of their children.
This was supposed to be the atmosphere that Gabriel wanted the most, but why was he feeling a sourness in his heart?
He put his hands into his p

The bodyguard who was accompanying the child inside the house, seeing him return, went to guard the door.
In the hospital ward, pale and weak Joshua, a small figure, lay quietly on the bed with a fever–reducing drip hanging, looking extremely frail.
I saw the little one’s eyeballs move under their eyelids, their eyelashes trembling gently. It was clear that they were awake but dared not open their eyes to look at him.
Gabriel didn’t expose him either. He brushed the child’s hair, which was damp and stuck to his face with sweat, and slowly sat down on the chair that Hazel had just sat on by the bedside.
Joshua couldn’t help but half–open his eyes to sneak a peek at his father, who had been silent for a long time. However, he was caught red–handed by a pair of smiling eyes.
Gabriel gently looked at his trembling and evasive eyes and asked, “Are

Joshua sniffed his nose and nodded.
The broad palm fell once again on his forehead, gently caressing it, “Don’t do this again in the future.”
Joshua hesitated and spoke, “Dad…”
“Joshua, Dad knows that you wanted to play matchmaker for Dad and Mom, but there’s one thing Dad wants you to remember: no matter what, you should never joke about your own body.”
The magnetic voice flowed through the air, resonating with the sound of paternal love. “For Mom and Dad, the good health of you three siblings was more important than anything

The man’s naturally superior brow ridge and thick, long eyelashes cast a faint shadow in the light of the room, while his dark yet bright beautiful eyes held all the patience and care.
Joshua nodded hesitantly.
He thought his father would definitely scold him if he knew the truth, but it turned out that he didn’t, which surprised him a little.
But he really liked his current dad, and also his mom.
The sun rose little by little, and the cicadas outside gradually faded away with the passing of summer, while the clear bird calls brought joyful chirping.
Hazel went back and changed her clothes. She also brought breakfast and clothes for the children. to change into.
Joshua, who has already finished his IV drip, is feeling much better, but his forehead still feels a little warm.
She took out the light breakfast that she had specifically instructed the chef at home to prepare and placed it on the small table next to the sickbed.
Hazel said to the child, “Did Mommy feed you?”
Joshua’s eyes lit up, “Thank
you, Mom.”
Watching Hazel gently open the breakfast, the millet porridge was still steaming. I blew on it and waited until it wasn’t hot before bringing it to my own mouth, feeling the taste of happiness in
my eyes.
He secretly glanced at his father’s expression and felt relieved when he found it not displeasing. The Campbell family has always demanded self–reliance in the education of their heirs. Gabriel didn’t miss the look in his son’s eyes, expressing his helplessness towards Hazel’s indulgence of the child’s behavior.
The man raised an
prow as he looked at the plain congee and side dishes in front of him,
which were the same as what his son had. Without saying a word, he silently began to eat the long–lost Robinson family breakfast.
The child only knew that
The child only knew that having a cold could make his father and mother stay by his side. He didn’t handle it lightly or heavily. This high fever came suddenly, and if it hadn’t been discovered in time, it would have been a mess.
After finishing breakfast, Joshua went to sleep.
I lived in a hospital owned by the Campbell Group, and naturally, I chose the best executive suite for my ward.
It even had a separate study, which was convenient for Gabriel, who needed to handle work. Meanwhile, Hazel sat on the living room couch, video chatting with her daughter. Leila insisted on coming over to see the little brother. If she wasn’t allowed to come, she would cry. Jaxon, who didn’t go to class, also wanted to come over.
There was no other way, so she had the butler bring along a few bodyguards to escort the two children over.
When Jaxon led Leila into the house, Hazel was examining the data of the latest project in the

laboratory,
Meg
She took the two children to have a look at Joshua sleeping in the inner room, and then let them play in the living room. The housekeeper brought over a lot of toys, afraid of waking Joshua, and they all played quietly.
Hazel sat on the side, looking at the data, occasionally turning her head to glance at the two children.
Jaxon was drawing with Leila,
There was a faint sound of a meeting coming from the study, echoing in my ears.
Leila had just finished painting a family portrait when she turned her head and saw the study room with an open door, along with a man inside.
She looked at her mother and then at her brother who was immersed in drawing. Holding her own artwork, she took joyful little steps and pushed open the door to the study. Gabriel, with a serious expression on his face due to his subordinates‘ incompetence, was about to reprimand them harshly when he suddenly felt a tightness in his pants leg.
