Scott trusted Kendall because she had saved him before.
Children would stick to a person like a burr once they had taken a liking to that person.
When she heard that the little boy had a fever, she gently freed up a hand to check his temperature by resting her palm against his forehead.
"Scott took his medicine and drank a lot of water. He also sweated, and the fever has subsided."
"Did the doctor say what caused the fever?" Kendall asked with concern.
"He caught a cold." Then, Eric continued in a low voice, "He heard that when one of his classmates was ill, he had his mother's attention. So after he returned, he hid in the bathroom and took a cold shower before turning on the air conditioner in the room. He stood in there and succeeded in catching a cold."
"He called his mother, telling her he had a fever and was very sick. Then, he asked her when she would wake up and see him…"
Eric trailed off halfway through his sentence.
He couldn't bring himself to continue.
After his wife became comatose, he was even more distraught than his son.
Still, he had to put on a brave front before Scott. Eric had to raise his son alone as he cared for his
wife.
As Kendall heard this piece of information, it made her feel upset for the child.
She turned to the little boy, who held her neck with no signs of letting go and said, "Scott, your mother loves you very much. She will sacrifice her life for you to be okay. You need to take good care of yourself so that you can be worthy of your mom. Your mom will definitely wake up soon. She misses you a lot, too. While you wait for her to get up, you need to make sure you're fit and healthy so she will be relieved and happy. If you do what you did yesterday and hurt your body, your mom will be sad when she wakes up."
"Lady Parker, I just want my mom to pity me. Then, if she pities me, she will wake up," Scott muttered softly.
"Your mom will wake up, trust me. So don't do anything stupid again."
For a three-year-old to do all that to make himself sick on purpose, this child was clearly brilliant.
"If you're sick, I'd also be very sad."
This made him blink. He really liked Kendall and didn't want her to be sad.
After he thought this over, he nodded solemnly and said, "All right, Lady Parker."
Then, she smiled and pushed his head back on her shoulder as she gave him a tight hug before placing him back on the ground.
"Mr. Ford, did you guys just arrive?"
"Yeah."
Eric looked down at this son, who was still holding onto Kendall's clothes, and the sadness in his eyes grew.
Although they all loved Scott, and regardless of how much love was shown to him, it still wasn't the same as a mother's love.
The little boy was so desperate for some motherly love.
His wife was still in a coma, so his son could only turn toward Kendall for a mother's touch.
"Let's have dinner together."
Eric was hesitant at her offer.
Initially, he thought he would just bring his son over to visit Kendall for a moment before bringing him back. Regrettably, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he couldn't stay in Orapolis for a long time.
"Lady Parker, I'm so hungry."
When the little boy noticed his father didn't agree immediately, he rubbed his belly, raised his face, and cried pitifully.
"Scott, there's food on the plane as well."
"I don't want to eat on the plane. I want to eat with Lady Parker."
Finally, Kendall picked the little boy up again with a smile as she turned to speak to Eric, "Mr. Ford, I suppose you have to go back after dinner now."
"Well, let's go for dinner then."
Eric was helpless at the turn of events.
He reached for his precious son, turned to his nearby bodyguards, and said, "You can wait here. You don't have to follow."
They all nodded respectfully in response.
Then, the father and son turned and walked into Henry's car.
In order to avoid suspicion, Eric sat in the passenger seat while Kendall and Scott sat behind.
Kendall accompanied her husband to dinner every night. So when Dylan saw them, Eric could only hope that he would not throw the father-son duo out on the spot.
Eric had no choice as he brought along his son as a third-wheeler for the couple.
As they passed by the florist's shop, Kendall asked Henry to stop the car. Then, she got out and bought a bunch of flowers.
"Lady Parker, why do you want to buy flowers?" Scott asked curiously. Then, he reached out to touch the bouquet and continued, "I have a lot of beautiful flowers at home. When they bloom, they are wonderful. My father said that this is my mother's favorite flower."
Therefore, roses were planted in every corner of their house.
As long as his mother liked something, it would be all over the house.
"I'm going to give it to my husband, your Uncle Dylan."
Scott blinked. Uncle Dylan?
Then, he remembered an uncle in a wheelchair that he saw last time. That uncle was very handsome but didn't seem to treat Kendall very well.
She shrank every time she saw him.
Although Scott was young, he was well aware of all these.
"Is it the uncle that you're scared of? The one that made you flinch when you saw him?"
"I'm not scared of him. He is my husband."
"What do you mean he's your husband?" Scott asked curiously. "Lady Parker, you were so scared of him. Why did you make him your husband? Lady Parker, let me be your husband. I will treat you well. You don't need to be scared of me."
Kendall chuckled when she heard this.
At the end of the day, one should take no offense to a child's babbling.
On the other hand, Eric was horrified when he heard his son saying such things. Was this child challenging Dylan?
"Scott, you're still young. You don't understand. Let's put it this way, your mother's husband is your father, and you're 20 years younger than Lady Parker. So even if Lady Parker likes you, she can't do anything. She wouldn't want to be with a child."
Scott seemed to be processing what he was being told as his eyes darted around.
After a long while, he looked like he understood and let out a long 'oh.'
Actually, he still didn't understand what it meant to be someone's husband.
"Then, Lady Parker can just wait for me to grow up."
Kendall smiled and said, "When you grow up, I'll be an old woman. My face will be wrinkled with all my teeth gone. My hair would be gray. How can you still like me then?"
Scott remained silent at her question. These words were far too difficult for a boy his age to understand.
The Parker Corporation and Coleman Empire Holdings were close to one another.
So it didn't take them long to arrive at the Coleman Empire Holdings.
At that same time, Dylan's car had also just left the company.
Nonetheless, the moment the driver saw Henry's car, he stopped the car slowly.
In the past, Kendall would always sit in Dylan's personal car.
Today was no exception.
Hence, she got out of her own car with the bouquet in her hand.
Although, there seemed to be a little boy following behind her every step.
Dylan watched as the little boy climbed into the car and squeezed between him and Kendall domineeringly with curious eyes. Finally, he inquired, "Little boy, why are you here? Don't you need to go to school?"
Scott wasn't angry after being called a little boy as he childishly explained, "I miss Lady Parker, so I took a leave to visit her."
As he said that, he leaned toward Kendall.
He also had a defensive look on his face as he looked at Dylan. It was as if Dylan was competing with Scott for her.
"Dylan, Scott fell sick today and got sick leave. He said he missed me, so Mr. Ford brought him over. They will leave after dinner."
Kendall stepped in to explain to prevent Dylan from getting jealous of a cute three-year-old.
