As Matt followed his sulking nephew into the elevators,he pressed the b.u.t.ton to take them to the top floor.Ru,of course,was not aware of which floor his mother was on but in stead of asking his uncle,he said nothing while keeping his nose raised in the air as if he was royalty.Once at the top floor,he marched towards the nurse"s station and asked in a childish but commanding voice,"Where is my mother?"
When the nurses saw the cute baby marching towards them they wanted to coo at him and pull his chubby cheeks.But hearing the commanding question and tone,they immediately recognized who"s son this boy was.His eyes,his looks and even his presence was just like his father.He even spoke like his father did yesterday.Matt shook his head at Ru"s sullenness and wondered just how did his nephew turn into his first brother?
The nurses still eyed the sweet looking boy and that is when Nurse Mo came forward and said,"Come this way, little master."
Once inside the room,Ru looked around and saw the room empty.Nurse Mo saw the sad expression on his face and said in a comforting voice,"Little master,Madam Long has gone to get her wounds checked.She will be back in a few minutes.Would you like me to order some breakfast for you and madam?She is yet to break her fast."
Ru"s hungry stomach rumbled at the thought of breakfast and he immediately nodded,"Yes.Please bring some pancakes and fruits and sweet porridge and fried dumplings and some juice and some milk and some tea and some coffee."
Nurse Mo:"..." Did the little master think this was a hotel?But she somehow kept calm and pa.s.sed on the message to the hospital"s canteen.It was their problem now!
Alicia came back with another nurse to her room, to see Matt standing guard at the door.
With a happy smile,Alicia called out to Matt,"Ahoy,brother,why are you standing outside?"
Matt looked over at Alicia who was sitting comfortably on the wheel chair and looking healthy if a little pale..He smiled wryly and said,"I have been banned from entering this room by your dear son."
"Ru is here!!!Aiyoo my baby!!Nurse quickly take me inside!"
Matt:"..." So is the ban lifted or do I still wait outside? First brother where are you?
Matt made a sad face and decided to wait outside!His sister in law only heard the part where he said Ru was here.What about him being banned?Shouldn"t she do something about it?
Alicia who had totally forgotten about Matt"s existence,entered the room and with a squeal and called out to Ru,"Ru ah my baby!!!Mama missed you so much."She had her arms open and her eyes scanned the room looking for a son.Ru who was until now being strong and pouting immediately ran into his mother"s open arms and started sobbing like a baby.Alicia hugged him hard,being careful to not jostle her throbbing shoulder and consoled the boy.He was complaining about being kept away from her by his father and uncles between sobs and vowing to not talk to them anymore.
When Ru had been informed that his mother was hurt,he had been scared and did not wish to stay at home.But his father had made him promise that he will have to wait until she was better.
Alicia looked at Ru who had buried his face in her neck and was crying pitifully."Aiyo,my Ru baby is angry at his father and uncles?But, my baby,if you had come then all the nurses and doctors would have surrounded you and not let you meet me.And I would have to fight them to keep you with me..What if I lost?Such a cute baby...who would"ve been able to leave you?"
Ru,satisfied now with his mother"s explanation and knowing that she was fine now,was a little pacified.But being a little boy that he was,he still sulked,"But I will still not talk to them!And you don"t too!"
"Ok...as you wish my baby.Now give mama a few get well soon kisses."
"Mwah mwah mwah"Little baby Ru kissed his mama all over the face.
"Mama,I got you this teddy bear so that you are not scared here in the hospital.He will sleep with you and you can hug him.He will fight all the bad dreams.I also made a get well soon card"
"My sweet baby...Thank you..I will definitely hug it to sleep."
Poor Ryu,who was coming back from consulting with the doctor did not know that his place on the bed had been s.n.a.t.c.hed by a teddy bear,came to the same scene as Aliciwith Matt standing guard at the door. Ryu just looked at his brother and raised a brow questioningly.
"I"ve been banned from the room by sister in law and your son.Really First brother,your son is even more scary than you.And his tactics are flawless.He is refusing to eat and claiming that he is not hungry.I have coaxed and coaxed him but he won"t eat!Even I have not had anything since morning."Matt said in a whiny voice to his brother.
Just then two hospital employees came to the floor.They were rolling in with 2 trolleys laden with food.Though the trays were covered,the sweet smell permeated the air hinting at the feast inside.
Just then a nurse came forward and guided the others towards the VIP room.Matt questioned the nurse,"Did Madam Long order these?"He was salivating already and thanking the fates that he had not eaten anything since morning!
The nurse smiled at the salivating Matt and said,"No sir.Little master ordered this!"
Matt: "..."
Ryu: "..."
