Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Want to Go to Godmother’s House
Annie looked intently at the man in front of her, searching his face for a hint of change in his expressions.
But there was none.
The man laughed softly, withdrew his towel, and spoke softly, "It’s still early, so stay with Annie. I’m going out to buy breakfast."
Having said that, he turned around and went out again with the towel basin.
As she watched him, unruffled and even showing an exceedingly humble demeanor, Annie’s pupils suddenly dilated. She loosened her tense grip on the quilt, gritted her teeth and called out in a low voice, "Oliver Hudson!"
The steps of Oliver Hudson paused for a second, but he didn’t turn around. Instead, he resumed his pace and left.
Only when the man’s figure had completely disappeared from the entrance of the ward did Annie lean back weakly, take a deep breath, and steadied her emotions.
From the other side, Olivia seemed to have noticed her change in emotions. She hastily put down the pen in her hand, got up, and hurried over to sit on the bed, holding Annie’s hand worriedly.
"Mommy, what’s the matter?"
At these words, the corners of Annie’s mouth curved slightly. She reached out to pat Olivia’s head and then laughed softly, "Mommy is fine... By the way, Annie, were you thinking of your godmother just now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Olivia puckered her small mouth and nodded.
Annie chuckled and continued, "That’s great, Mommy is so bored in this hospital bed that she’s about to turn moldy. I’ll take you to your godmother’s house later, okay?"
At her words, Olivia’s previously low mood seemed to have brightened instantaneously. She grinned widely in agreement and immediately settled down to chat leisurely with Annie at the bedside.
It wasn’t clear how much time had passed before Oliver Hudson returned to the ward, carrying some things. He immediately took notice of the chatty mother and daughter.
His lips curved into a faint smile as Oliver Hudson put down the breakfast and asked jokingly, "What’s the fun topic that’s making you two so happy?"
Annie instantly retracted her expression without even batting an eyelid, and then fell silent.
A silence ensnared the air for a moment as Olivia pursed her lips somewhat regretfully, finally speaking up, "We’re going to visit her godmother."
At her words, a hint of surprise flashed through Oliver Hudson’s eyes, but that only made his smile wider.
He handed a cup of soy milk to Olivia and squatted down to pinch the little girl’s fair cheeks gently, murmuring, "Then Daddy will take you two there a little later, okay?"
After his words echoed, Olivia fell silent for a few seconds.
Firstly, she looked over to the expressionless Annie, her mind filled with deliberation.
Indeed, Annie’s condition had only just stabilized and no one knew if there’d be any unexpected turn of events. It would be safer if Oliver Hudson was present.
With these thoughts, Olivia wrinkled her little brows slightly. Then, under Oliver Hudson’s anticipatory gaze, she opened her small mouth and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Annie’s eyebrows knitted together slightly.
But since Olivia had agreed, she didn’t want to say anything more and just sighed lightly, her emotions complex.
...
Inside an apartment.
Having just cleaned up the dining table, Charlotte washed all the dishes and wiped her hands. She picked up her mobile phone from the kitchen table and went into the living room.
Jordan’s card had been frozen by the old man. Unable to spend the money freely, he had no choice but to stay at home, hoping that the old man would change his mind and extend his support.
Currently, with one hand supporting his chin and the other holding the remote control, he was flipping boredly through the channels. After watching an entire season of a TV series, he was utterly restless.
Charlotte sat down at the other end of the sofa. He quietly put down the remote, shuffling a few steps closer to her.
Then, leaning in with caution, he made a funny face and asked, "Sis, are you in a good mood?"
