Chapter 22 Justin Has A Fever (2/2)

He picked up his coat and walked quietly up to his son. He looked at his son dotingly and covered him gently with his coat. He smoothed away a wisp of hair from the little guy's forehead and found that his hair was a little longer. It had been almost three months since he came here. It was time to have his hair cut.

He caressed his little pink face. Noticing the unusual red on his face, he put his hand on Justin's forehead at once. Damn it. It was so hot. It seemed that he had gotten a fever. No wonder his face was so red.

Edward was in a great panic. He had never experienced anything like this before. The little guy had always been in a good health since he came here. Edward was frightened by his illness. He held Justin in his arms and rushed out.

”Anna, Anna, call Luke and ask him to get the car ready.” Edward's voice was full of tension. His shouting also attracted the attention of Rain who had just escaped from Aaron's office. He walked up to him quickly and asked what had happened. But when he saw the little guy in Edward's arms, he was stunned.

”Rain, go down and get the car ready. Justin has a fever.” Edward was a little distracted. The little guy in his arms was so scorching hot that he felt that he was almost burned. So when he saw Rain, he asked him to get his car ready at once.

”OK! I'll be right there.” With these words, Rain ran downstairs at once. Although he was very gossipy and he wanted to know who that little guy was, he could tell that it was not the right time to ask.

Rain hadn't parked his car into the underground parking lot today, so when Edward and Justin came downstairs, he had already started the car waiting for them at the doorway. He drove as fast as he could and glanced at Edward in the rearview mirror from time to time. Seldom did he see his boss in such a nervous state. It seemed that this little guy was of great importance to his boss. He didn't have the chance to see Justin's face clearly, so he didn't know how much Justin resembled Edward.

They soon arrived at the hospital. After having a series of tests and the antipyretic injection, Justin was put on a drip soon. Edward's face, which had been in a state of tension, finally relaxed a little.

Edward asked for a VIP room. As soon as the doctor left, the room suddenly became very quiet. Rain went to go through the formalities. And now all could Edward hear was his own fast and irregular heartbeat.

Edward walked to the bed and sat near his son. He gently held Justin's hand which was not put on a drip. He didn't know what other fathers felt when their children were ill. He was scared. Yes, scared. Edward had never felt this scared, even when he was facing an assassination attempt. But now he was scared only because his son got a fever.

He bent down and kissed the little boy gently on his forehead. The little boy's forehead was still a little hot and he hadn't thoroughly recovered from the fever yet.

”Mr. Mu, the formalities have been completed.” Rain walked in and spoke softly. In the meantime, he stared at Justin's little face hesitantly.

”Ask whatever you want to.” Edward knew that Rain had been curious for a long time.

”Mr. Mu, whose child is this? Rain looked at Edward and then Justin. He felt that he almost got the answer.

”He is my son, Justin Mu.” With these words, he turned to look at Rain.

”What? Your son? Why didn't I know?” Although he guessed the answer when he saw Justin's face, he was still stunned on hearing Edward's words.

”It's not late for you to know now.” Why did everyone react violently when they knew that he had a son?

”But, when did you have a son at this age? Where is his mother? Who is she?” Rain began to gossip again. He was just as gossipy as Duke.

”My wife.” Edward gave him the same answer as he had given Duke, which stunned Rain too.

”Boss, I'm already very surprised that you have a son. How could you have a wife? Are you kidding me? When did you get married?” Everything was in a mess. It seemed that a lot of changes had taken place during his business trip.

”Six years ago.” His words became more and more concise. No wonder that Rain knew nothing about it. He hadn't graduated from school when Edward was married.
