    Having not been in contact with his so–called dad for years, Second felt awkward with this sudden attention and concern.

    But no matter how unfamiliar or ufortable it was, he had to endure it.

    After all, the man in front of him was indeed his real father.

    Hugo, standing nearby, seemed to sense Second’s stiffness. Since their reunion, Second had kept the greatest distance

    from him. Hugo could feel it, but he knew he needed to take the first step.

    i“/iAre you hungry?” Hugo asked.

    Second nodded, then shook his head.

    Hugo looked at him, “So, are you hungry or not?”

    Should he be hungry?

    Looking at Hugo, Second pondered for a moment before speaking, “Hungry, I guess.”

    Hugo couldn’t help but smile. He handed breakfast to First and Fourth, then ced Second’s portion in front of him,

    carefully unwrapping it.

    “Thanks!” Second said, about to dig in, but then realized one hand was in a cast and the other was hooked up to an IV, making it quite inconvenient.

    Seeing this, Hugo offered, “Let me feed you.”

    Second’s eyes widened suddenly, “No, no need!”

    “Then how are you going to eat?”

    “I…” Second blinked, then nced over at First, “My brother can feed me!”

    iUpon /ihearing this, First raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting between Second and Hugo. iThen /ihe said, “Sorry, I’m bhungry /b

    too. I need to eat!”

    Second was speechless.

    He looked at First, knowing full well he was doing it on purpose!

    But now wasn’t the time to argue with him. Quickly, Second turned to Fourth, “Fourthi, /iyou feed me!”

    “Okay…” Fourth was about to agree when First gave a fake cough. Fourth paused, nced at First, then at Hugo and

    Second. Being a clever little one, Fourth understood the situation perfectly.

    “So… hungry!” Fourth rubbed her belly and said, then looked at Second, “Second brother, you should let Dad feed you. I’m

    really hungry too!” With that, she took her breakfast and went off to eat.

    Second was speechless again.

    He looked at Fourth, his eyes filled with a sense of grievance.

    One by one, they all seemed tock any sense of decency!

    Turning back, Second looked at Hugo with an awkward expression.

    Hugo simply looked at him and said, “Let me do it.”

    Could Second refuse?

    In the end, he had no choice but to agree.

    Hugo sat beside Second, picked up the bowl of porridge, and began to feed him.

    As the spoonful of porridge approached Second’s mouth, his expression was visibly ufortable. He was unsure

    whether to open his mouth or not.

    First and Fourth watched from the side, unable to hold back theirughter.

    They had never seen Second look so awkward and uneasy before.

    Second noticed theirughter, red at them fiercely, and then suddenly opened his mouth to eat.

    At the same moment, Fourth quickly took out her phone and snapped a picture of the scene.

    Seeing Second eat, Hugo’s lips curled into a smile, and he continued to feed him.

    “Want some of this?” Hugo asked.

    Second snapped back to reality, looking at the dish Hugo pointed at. “I’m not picky!”

    Hugo nodded and fed him a bite.

    After taking a bite, opening his mouth didn’t seem so difficult anymore. Second ate bite after bite, asionally ncing

    up at Hugo, feeling a strange sensation he couldn’t quite describe…

    epting this dad didn’t seem as hard as Second thought it would be.

    Maybe it wasn’t so bad…

    Just as Second was pondering this, the door suddenly swung open with a bang, and Scarlett appeared at the entrance.

    She had expected something to have happened, but upon entering and seeing the scene before her, she was taken aback.

    It was as if she had walked into the wrong room; the scene inside was unusually… warm.

    First and Fourth were eating on the side, while Hugo was by Second’s bedside, feeding him. The whole scene felt like a dream, giving her an indescribable feeling.

    Scarlett watched and slowly walked in.

    At this moment, everyone in the room paused and looked at her.

    “Scarlett, you’re awake?” Fourth asked, looking at her.

    Scarlett nodded in response.

    “Scarlett, are you hungry?” First inquired.

    Scarlett shook her head.

    Then, she walked over to Second’s bed, and Hugo looked at her, “Awake?”

    “Mm!” Scarlett nodded.

    Second looked at Scarlett, his eyes cautious, “Hey, Scarlett!”

    She turned her gaze toward him.

    Expecting some words of me, Scarlett instead walked over and asked, “How are you feeling? Any better?”

    Second nodded, “Yeah, much better!”

    Seeing him able to eat now, Scarlett finally believed he was truly on the mend.

    She reached out, gently ruffled his hair, and said no more, offering no words of me. “Go ahead and eat!”

    Second nodded.

    Meanwhile, Hugo continued feeding him.

    Scarlett watched from the side. Honestly, every action Hugo took surprised her, but along with the surprise came a sense

    of relief.

    As she always thought, Hugo would make a great father!

    If she entrusted all three kids to him, she could truly be at ease…

    After staying in the hospital for two days, they only left once all of Second’s test results came back clear.

    But Second’s arm would still need two to three months to fully heal.

    After getting home and tidying up a bit, it was already quitete.

    Fourth copsed ionto /ithe icouch/i, exhausted. “I can’t take it anymore. I’m starving! I want to eat something delicious, lots

    of delicious food!”

    Just as Fourth finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Seeing everyone else busy, she reluctantly got up to answer bthe /bbdoor/bb. /b

    “Who is it…”

    She trailed off, surprised to see people in matching uniforms standing outside.

    “Mr. Hodges ordered some food. Is it okay for us to bring it in now?” asked the man in a suit at the door.

    Fourth nced at the five or six people outside and nodded. “Of course,e on in!”

    The group walked in and began setting up the dishes on the dining table.

    “Enjoy your meal!” The leader gave a polite bow before they all left in an orderly fashion.

    Fourth’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the table full of food.

    Just then, Hugo and Scarlett came out of Second’s room, and Fourth cheerfully announced, “Daddy, your food order is

    here!”

    Seeing the beautifully arranged dishes, Hugo smiled. “Looks like the timing is perfect. We can eat right away!”

    “Today is a great day, perfect for opening a bottle of wine to celebrate!” Fourth eximed, dashing to the wine cab to

    grab a bottle.

    Soon, First and Second joined in, and the five of them sat together, eyeing the spread of dishes from a five–star hotel. They all seemed ravenous, enjoying the meal with great joy and harmony.

    Scarlett didn’t eat much; she mostly sipped on her wine. As she drank, she watched the three little ones, listening to theirughter and joining in with a smile. Her usually cool eyes appeared especially warm andplex tonight.

    She wished she could always be there with them, watching them grow up healthy and happy.

    But…

    A barely noticeable hint of regret flickered iin /iScarlett’s ieyes/i.
