Chapter 521 - If I am not there anymore (1/2)
After dinner, Davi and Sei accompanied little Shin to his room. The little guy didn't need to be escorted like that but he had already heard that his mother was leaving tomorrow. He deduced that his parents were following him because they were going to have a talk.
Once they were inside, Little Shin's expectation was proven true.
”Little Shin, mommy's leaving for work tomorrow,” Davi told the little guy as she hugged him while Sei ruffled the boy's hair as he spoke.
”Your mom is leaving because she has to find a cure for your uncle.” Sei explained. ”Don't worry, we'll visit her there often.”
Upon hearing his father's words, little Shin moved his little hand and gently patted his mother's back instead.
”It's okay mommy, I understand. I am going to miss you a lot but I can always call you, right?”
”Of course, honey.”
”Dad and I can call you every day?”
”Yep.”
”That's great then. I can handle it without you, mom, as long as I can speak with you. But…” he trailed off.
Davi glanced at Sei before she looked at her son, now a little worried because her little man seemed to have a problem. ”But?”
”I don't think daddy could handle your absence mommy.”
Davi: ”. . .”
Sei: ”. . .”
Little Shin: ”Mommy, you don't know this but daddy always looked really bad every time you travel abroad even for two days.”
Davi was speechless as she turned and looked at her husband, while Sei felt betrayed by his own son.
”Little Shin, that's because I'm worried. This time, my wife's going to a secured place, so I can definitely handle it.” Sei immediately tried to redeem himself.
”Daddy, are you sure? Based on my observation, your worry for mom increased about 50% lately.”
”That's… because your mom is pregnant.”
The little guy faced his mother again. He knew that his mother is pregnant so he was also worried but he also knew that she had to go, for his uncle's sake. He once witnessed his uncle Zaki while he was in pain and he felt really worried. He too, wanted his uncle's illness cured.
”Mom, the baby will be alright, right?” He asked, glancing at his mother's stomach even if there was still no baby bump.
”Of course, honey. Mommy will never let anything harm the baby, I promise you that.”
With Davi's reassurance, little Shin sighed and hugged his mother again. ”Don't worry mom, I will watch daddy while you're away.”
”Aww, my baby's so responsible. Always remind him not to work too late, okay?”
”Mm. I will make sure to remind him.”
After tucking the little guy into bed, the couple then left his room. Davi was chuckling as she looked at her husband.
