"Abner..."
It was followed by another anxious call.
Amelia and Kaiden had turned around simultaneously just to see a middle-aged lady was chasing after the small boy with remote controller on his hands.
"Abner?" Staring at the small boy who was wandering at the corridor on the second floor, Kaiden called out his name softly.
Amelia took a glance at Kaiden. Seeing that he could not help walking towards the staircase and the fact that the lady had been watching closely after the small boy, she wondered if he was Sawyer's son.
Up until this time, this was only speculation from Amelia.
The buzzing sound continued.
The remote control helicopter was flying down gradually.
The sound of footsteps descending from the staircase.
Abner climbed down from the second floor through the spiral staircase. It seemed as if he was so
focused on the helicopter that he had missed out his steps on the staircase. With a slip, he fell off from the stairs in an instant when he was about to reach the floor.
"Abner!" the middle-aged lady exclaimed. She hurriedly ran over in an attempt to catch Abner.
Fortunately, Kaiden had already reached the stairs by then. He reached out to hold Abner who had stumbled off from the staircase.
Abner startled for some time before he struggled to get rid of Kaiden's sturdy chest. There was neither hint of gratitude nor fear within his gaze. It was as if being rescued from falling down had meant nothing extraordinary to him.
Instead of blaming him, Kaiden could not help scrubbing Abner's nose and said affectionately, "Dude, had I not caught you in time, you're going to be injured again."
Abner remained in silence. His gaze fell onto the plane which had already crashed onto the ground.
He pursed his lips unnoticeably upon seeing that one of the wings of the plane had been broken.
"Mr. Wright, thanks for your help!"
Soon, the middle-aged lady came over to them and reached out to carry Abner.
"Don't mention it. This is what I'm supposed to do."
Kaiden replied gently.
The middle-aged woman was so focused on Abner that she had not seen Amelia who was standing at the door. Nonetheless, both the lady and the kid appeared to be familiar to Amelia at her first sight. She wondered if she had met them before.
"Well, it would be of great help if Kaiden can make way for me so that I can see Abner's face clearly." Amelia thought.
Upon seeing that Abner was safe, Kaiden could not help asking the lady in desperation, "Savannah, I'm here to look for Sawyer. Do you know his whereabouts?"
Recalling, Savannah replied, "Master usually won't let us know where is he heading to. But I remember that he had brought along Brayden with him when he left. Since Brayden was carrying
two luggage as he left, I guess they will be away for some time."
Upon hearing this, Kaiden completely gave up the idea of waiting. He had no other choice but to say, "Alright then. Please let him know that I've stopped by when he is back."
"Sure." Savannah promised before she bent over to carry Abner.
The next second, she looked shocked as she screamed, "Abner, what' wrong with your leg? Why are you bleeding?" From NôvelDrama.Org.
Kaiden was shocked as soon as he lowered his gaze. He had managed to catch Abner from falling onto the ground. Hence, supposedly he should not have been injured by then.
Abner could see the blood oozing profusely from his right calf. It did not take long for the blood to stain the entire hand of Savannah who was carrying him. Abner was unmoved at this sight.
Coming back to his sense, Kaiden hurriedly said, "Savannah, please get moving and send Abner to the hospital now!"
He guessed that Abner must have injured himself somewhere by the sharp spot of the staircase before he managed to catch him. It was just that this kid had not been moaning in pain that no one had noticed his injury.
"I'll go right away!" Savannah did not bother to bandage the wound. She carried Abner and rushed in direction of the door. After all, the ordinary way of stopping the bleeding was of no use to Abner's odd body.
It was inevitable for Savannah to bump into Amelia upon approaching the door.
As soon as she saw a stranger at the door, there was suspicion and surprise flashing across her eyes. Yet she had no time to concern with Amelia's identity right this moment. Savannah nodded in
brief before she walked pass her.
Amelia took the chance to glance at Abner who was being hugged tightly by Savannah. With just one glance, Amelia managed to recall everything!
Quartley...
Sawyer Quartley,
Abner Quartley and...Ryan Quartley.
"Why have I never thought about the relation in between? These three persons are from a same family!"
Had Amelia not recalled the fact that Savannah had once brought Abner to visit Ryan who was admitted to the hospital as a result of asthma, she would never have come to such a conclusion on their relationship.
Hm?
Followingly, Amelia had noticed that Abner was still staring at the remote control plane on the floor despite the fact that he had lost a huge amount of blood. There was no doubt that he had cherished this toy a lot.
"Hey, woman." Kaiden came over to her and said, "I'll send you back now."
Amelia withdrew her sight from the remote control plane and asked, "Who is the little boy?"
"Sawyer's only son." Kaiden replied honestly.
The only son.
Amelia's heart skipped a beat at his words. She began to find magic attaching with these words. Since Abner was the only son of Sawyer, in other words Abner would mean the world to Sawyer!
If that was the case...
Amelia abruptly said to Kaiden, "We will leave later."
"Uh?l" Kaiden was in a state of confusion. He remembered that she was the one who insisted to leave right away a few moments ago.
Amelia walked pass him and picked up the damaged remote control plane. She then said to Kaiden, "Someone of your family is injured now. I don't think it's appropriate for you to leave now. Since his father is not here, you should be staying. I can accompany you to the hospital. You can send me back after making sure that he is alright."
Kaiden could tell that Amelia was having something on her mind judging from a hint of calculation flashing across her eyes. He asked insidiously, "I don't think you really mean to concern Abner. I guess it's your plan to make use of Abner in order to flatter Sawyer, am I right?"
Amelia replied righteously, "I just feel like you should behave like Abner's senior."
Ha!
She sounded as if he was an unforgivable bad*ss if he chose not to accompanying Abner at this moment.
Kaiden glanced away in annoyance, "Don't try to fool me! Your words are of no use to me!"
Seeing that he was going against her deliberately, Amelia had no other choice but to go forward. She stuck out one finger to poke at his arm before she grinningly said, "Let's get going, Mr. Wright. All I want is to leave a good impression for Mr. Quartley so that he will be willing to make an
investment. I promise you once I get the investment, I'll hire you as the chief architect of Apex Construction Corporation, what do you think?"
The chief architect?
Had this been offered by any other directors of the construction companies, Kaiden would not have bothered. But it would be a totally different story if Amelia was the one who made such proposal. After all, Kaiden was waiting for this moment that Amelia would propose to hire him!
"You're the one who said this. Watch out if you dare to go back at your promise one day!"
