Chapter 245
Hospital at night.
Jacob sat by the bedside, looking at the several dishes of food on the table with a distressed expression, and then at Adrian, who didn’t touch any of them. He sighed, “Mr. Blackwood, you should eat something after a whole day, right?” However, Adrian had his Bluetooth earphones on, leaning against the headboard, silently staring at his phone screen. Jacob leaned over to take a look.
On the phone screen, two adorable children were live streaming.
He felt speechless. Adrian would rather watch these two children live streaming than eat. Jacob looked at the screen with a numb expression, suddenly having an idea.
What if he registered a small account and messaged these two children, telling them that he has a friend who loves watching them, but now he’s seriously ill and refuses to eat or accept treatment? Maybe their persuasion would have an effect? Thinking about it, Jacob quietly took out his phone and started to operate.
Due to his busy work, Jacob never had time to play TikTok or anything like that, so he simply registered with his phone number and entered with a new account.
He fiddled around before entering the live streaming room.
Just as he entered the room, Adrian’s gaze turned cold, sweeping towards him.
“What are you doing p>
“Nothing much.” Jacob cleared his throat and nervously said, “You’ve been watching them, and I find them quite cute, so I also wanted to come in and see what’s so interesting p>
Adrian glared at him coldly for a while but didn’t say anything, shifting his gaze away.
Jacob breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly in the live streaming room.
“Good evening, you’re doing homework. It’s lovely p>
He originally intended to type a long string before sending the message, but his fingers accidentally hit a key, and the message was sent.
As he was using a new ID, Adrian’s sharp gaze immediately swept over when the message was sent.
Jacob instinctively shrank his head in guilt.
“Why are you looking when I’m typing p>
“Well, I think they are cute and couldn’t help but compliment p>
Perhaps due to the task he was about to do, Jacob felt particularly guilty.
Adrian seemed to sense what he was about to do and warned, “Don’t do anything unnecessary p>
Jacob pursed his lips and stayed silent.
Under Adrian’s gaze, he didn’t do anything, but as soon as Adrian looked away, Jacob began typing on his phone again.
“Here’s the thing, my friend loves watching your live streams, but he’s seriously ill now and has a bad attitude. He refuses to eat properly or accept treatment. If you can see this message, could you help me persuade him? My friend is also in this live chat p>
After editing the content, Jacob took a deep breath and took the risk of being blamed by Adrian later, then sent the message.
Sure enough, Adrian raised his head again after the message was sent and gave him a death stare.
“Are you really so idle p>
Jacob defended himself, “Who told you not to eat p>
Adrian’s eyes turned cold, and his thin lips moved as if he was about to say something, but a voice came from his earphones. Both of their attention was drawn to the voice.
Dylan had just finished the homework assigned by the teacher and happened to glance at the message, followed by others refreshing the chat.
“Oh my god, is your friend okay? When someone gets sick, they should seek proper treatment p>
“Wishing for a speedy recovery p>
Everyone in the live chat was kind-hearted.
Dylan leaned over to take a closer look. Their cute and delicate face suddenly filled the screen.
Jacob, holding his phone, couldn’t help but swear under his breath, shocked by this close-up face.
Whether it was his imagination or not, he actually felt like this little face was a smaller version of Adrian!
Following that, Jacob occasionally looked up at Adrian, then down at Dylan on his phone.
The more he looked, the more strange he found it. By the end, he couldn’t find the words to describe it.
Previously, he only knew that Adrian had always been watching the live streams of these two adorable kids, and knew they resembled each other.
But it was his first time seeing a close-up photo of this little cutie, with highly refined features, youthful innocence, yet with a hint of coldness and composure, resembling Adrian to an incredible degree.
Unlike the children who had undergone plastic surgery, whose facial features clearly showed signs of modification, this child had nothing except delicate skin when seen up close. “I’ve seen it, please p>
“What should I call you?” Jacob was called upon and immediately responded.
“Just call me Uncle. Oh, and my friend’s surname is Blackwood. You can call him Uncle or Brother p>
Jacob thought that calling him Brother would make Mr. Blackwood feel younger and happier.
But after sending the message, he quickly tried to amend it by saying, “Never mind, just call him Uncle. He’s already quite old, so calling him Brother isn’t really appropriate p>
Adrian was speechless when he saw this message.
Jacob could only chuckle.
Meanwhile, Dylan on the other side was speaking sincerely into the camera.
“Hello Uncle, thank you for watching our live stream. I heard you’re sick, but I don’t know what kind of illness you have. When you’re sick, you should see a doctor and take medicine so that you can get better.” Although the child was young, he had strong organizational skills and hit the point that Jacob wanted to make right away.
Through the phone screen, Jacob couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Hansen.
“Well done p>
“Uncle, I hope you are healthy and happy. You must eat well and take care of yourself so that you can continue watching our live streams p>
This child was truly amazing.
Jacob thought to himself as he looked up at Adrian.
But he noticed that Adrian was sitting there, holding his phone, lost in thought.
Could it be? Has it not worked yet?
Jacob felt a little disappointed, but he understood. How long has he been without an appetite? If anything anyone said could help, his stomach problem wouldn’t be so serious now.
After realizing this, Jacob suddenly didn’t feel like talking anymore.
Meanwhile, Ruby in the live streaming room heard her brother suddenly speaking to the camera and curiously leaned in closer.
Although she didn’t know why her brother was saying these things, she imitated him and, after Dylan finished speaking, Ruby also put her cute little face in front of the camera and sweetly said, “Uncle, take care of yourself and get well soon. Come watch Ruby and her brother’s live streams often in the future, okay p>
This voice, this smile, made Jacob feel incredibly soft-hearted. He looked up at Adrian.
And there he was, still quietly sitting in his place, but with a faint smile at the corner of his eyes.
