Chapter 391 - Heartache

Jaquan grabbed Stony's hand, looked at his finger, and asked, "Still painful?"

Stony shook his head. Although coming to the hospital made him uneasy, it was Mr. Jaquan's idea that he should have a physical examination. He believed that he was healthy for he ate and exercised regularly every day. He knew he was healthy, but Jaquan said that the hospital would examine more carefully and know which parts of his body went wrong. Stony believed in him and held the pain back when the doctor was collecting his blood.

The doctor even praised him, "You can stare at the needle? What a dauntless boy!"

Stony smiled and said, "My mom said that the only thing men can shed will be blood not tears."

"Really? Where's your mom? Why wasn't she here?" The doctor asked without thinking.

Stony's expression immediately darkened. He frowned and became quite unhappy.

Only then did the doctor realize that it seemed that he had upset the little boy. Just as he was about to say something, Jaquan waved his hand and took Stony away.

When they got outside, Stony whispered, "Mr. Jaquan, when will my mom pick me up? I'm very healthy. I've been eating, drinking water and exercising regularly every day. I also read every day. When will she come to have an examination?"

After all, he was young. As Stony was murmuring, his eyes couldn't help turning moist. His mouth twitched, suggesting that he was about to cry. But he still remembered what Emma had said to him that the only thing men can shed would be blood not tears. He managed to stop his tears and sobbed, "I can't cry. I won't cry. Mom doesn't like that."

He was such a sensible child.

He made people heartbroken.

Jaquan couldn't help hugging him tighter. "Your mom will soon come to pick you up."

...

"Your mother is coming." Allen said, adjusting his glasses.

Jaquan nodded and said, "Let's go outside. The medical test results won't come out until tomorrow."

"Alright."

It was almost noon and was getting warmer. When the three of them came out, they met a family of three passing by the hospital. The child seemed so happy with a popsicle in his hand.

Allen looked at Stony and asked, "Do you want to have some ice cream, too?"

Stony shook his head, but he kept gazing at the child's ice cream.

Allen smiled and asked someone where the convenience store was. Finally, he found one and went in to buy two popsicles. He then handed them both to Stony and said, "Here you are."

Emma wasn't around, so Stony raised his head and looked at Jaquan for permission. Somehow, Jaquan felt a pain with tears almost shedding. Crouching down and hugging Stony, Jaquan said, "If you like eating ice cream, I'll buy you. No matter what you want to eat, I'll satisfy you."

If there was no such abundant evidence, he still could not believe that the child standing before him was his own son, his very son.

The boy had quite grown up. But he knew nothing about him, not even his existence.

"Mr. Jaquan, are you unhappy?" Stony immediately noticed that Jaquan seemed to be somewhat depressed. He patted Jaquan's back like a grown-up and said, "Don't be sad."

Jaquan smiled and ruffled the child's hair, "Good boy."

"I just asked someone about the amusement park. It's said that there's one only five hundred meters away from there." Allen said.

Jaquan asked Stony, "Do you want to go?"

Holding two popsicles in his hands, Stony was reluctant to consume them and just looked at them. After hearing that, he immediately nodded and said excitedly, "I'd love to!"

Although Emma had taken him to the amusement park as much as she could, he couldn't go as often as he wanted. It had been half a year since he had gone to the amusement park last time.

The three of them immediately went that way. Allen called Felice halfway to let her go directly to the amusement park. Though he was unhappy that he was scolded by Felice on the phone, Allen happily led Stony to the park after hanging up.

The three of them bought quite a few things at the entrance of the amusement park, including a bubble creator, a toy golden cudgel, a straw hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a hoop.

Stony took the hoop with a darken face, and put it on his head. Then he held his head and shouted, "Master … Ouch, please stop… Master, it really hurts…"

Jaquan and Allen were stunned for a long time before they realized what was happening. Then they glanced at each other and laughed out loud. Stony was wearing the hoop and laughing as well. He waved his golden cudgel and shouted, "Look at me! Pigsy!"

Jaquan bought himself a mask of Pigsy's image. Then he shouted, "Brother Monkey!"

Stony giggled.

Jaquan grabbed him and carried him on his shoulder, "Do you want to fly?"

Stony shouted excitedly, "Yes! Pigsy!"

"Right now!" Jaquan grabbed his leg and quickly rushed forward, gliding back and forth for a long time.

When Felice rushed over, she saw them playing together. Allen was too happy to notice her presence. When he finally saw her, he said, "There you are."

Felice ignored him and sighed, "Our son hasn't been so happy for such a long time."

"Yeah, he seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye. Now we are both old." Allen also sighed.

"Mon, dad, hurry in!" Jaquan shouted from ahead. They had entered before them.

Stony rode on his neck and shouted, "Grandpa and Grandma, hurry up!"

Felice fell into a trance. She suddenly felt that Stony's smile was really similar to Jaquan's when he was a child.

Allen held her arm and said, "Let's go. Don't keep them waiting."

Felice nodded.

Two senior people who were both in their 50s were almost unable to enjoy any thrilling items, but they did have some entertainment like bumper cars.

There were lots of people playing bumper cars. When Jaquan and Stony went into the site, Allen encouraged Felice to join them. As soon as Stony noticed them, he rushed to them happily.

Just as the car was about to collide, Felice closed her eyes and cried out. But the car did not come to her after a long time, and she found that Stony had turned around and was heading towards Jaquan.

Allen laughed so hard that his glasses almost fell off.

Felice glared at him for a while before she suddenly burst into laughter.

Stony came out after enjoying himself, his head covered with sweat. As soon as he came out, he was lifted onto Jaquan's shoulder, and a bottle of water was handed to him.

Every time when Jaquan thought that this child was his son, he couldn't help feeling blissful. He wanted to make up for the kid for his absence.

If possible, he would like to hear Stony calling him Dad.

Jaquan's eyes suddenly turned moist again. He couldn't restrain his angry for Emma. 'Why did her hide the truth from me? Why didn't she let Stony and him know each other so that they wouldn't have lost so much time together? Why...'

There were too many whys haunting him. Emma's indifferent face and cold words popped up in his mind. Jaquan suddenly sneered. If Emma appeared in front of him with a cold expression and told him the truth, he would definitely not believe her and threw her out.

"Stony, do you want a balloon?" Allen stood behind and watched Stony sitting on Jaquan's neck and staring at the balloon vendor hard.

"Which one do you like?" Felice quickly took out her purse.

At the beginning, Stony was a little reserved and embarrassed. Jaquan said to him, "Don't be too shy. Don't refuse Grandpa and Grandma's gifts. Otherwise, they will be sad."

He pointed at a yellow monkey and said, "I want Monkey King!"

The vendor immediately took it off and handed it to him. "Is he your grandson? He really takes after your son. He's such a handsome boy. I saw that from far away."

Felice smiled and did not say anything. She took the change and stuffed it into her purse.

Allen, to everybody's surprise, answered, "That's a good compliment."
