NovelOnlineChapter 1681 The sound of a phone ringing brought Maxwell back to the present. He looked at Sunny, who goofily blushed and smiled at his phone.
"Who's texting you?" he asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSunny snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. "Ahem! I'm going out for a while to call a friend, Dad. I'll cback later to tell you more about Corinne." After that, he did not even wait for Maxwell's response before striding out of the room with his phone in his hand.
Maxwell had his fair share of such experience, and he knew it was a woman.
‘Even Sunny has a girlfriend, yet Lucas is still living his life like a monk. That boy is already thirty years old, and I've never ever seen him with a woman before... Maybe it's because of what happened toand his mom that he doesn't believe in love,'thought Maxwell with a sigh.
Sunny left the ward, asked the bodyguard at the door to keep a close eye on Maxwell, and walked to a quiet place to make a phone call.
It was Xante who texted, asking how his father was doing. Sunny was, of course, elated to receive her text as it meant she missed and cared about him.
Xante picked up his call very quickly. Hello?" "Xante! | miss you so much!" chirped Sunny.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXante wanted to ask if his father was alright, but she immediately fell silent when she heard that. Based on his demeanor, Maxwell was probably doing well.
Not getting a response from her, Sunny said again, "Say something, Xante!" Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "What do you wantto say?" Sunny chuckled and said, "Say you miss me, too." Xante scoffed. "Glad to know your father is okay. You should spend as much twith you as possible." She was about to hang up the phone when Sunny stopped her. "Wait, Xante! Don't hang up yet!" Xante paused. "You have something else to say?" Sunny desperately wanted to see her but knew he could not leave the hospital. Thus, after thinking about it, he said, "Xante, I'm injured. Can you cto the hospital to visit me?" Xante frowned. "You're injured? How?" "I hurt my arm. It really hurts..." said Sunny pitifully.
"How did you hurt your arm?" "Well... You know my dad tried to take his life yesterday, right? | accidentally got cut when | tried to save him..." "Which hospital are you at?" "Central Hospital." "Okay, wait forthere." Sunny still wanted to say something, but Xante had ended the call.
'Man, she sure hung up in a hurry. Is she that much in a rush to see me? That means she really cares about me, right?’ thought Sunny.
He was more used to being ignored by Xante, so that was certainly a pleasant surprise. As happy as he was that she was going to visit him, he still needed to prepare himself, otherwise, Xante would surely get angry if she found out he was lying.
Thus, Sunny quickly rushed to the nurse station and begged the nurse to bandage his arm. He even borrowed smerbromin to apply to the bandage to make it look more believable.
'Xante will definitely feel sorry forif she sees how hurt | am! Hahaha!' thought Sunny.
