137 Coaxing To Sleep

Matthew suddenly interjected slowly, “His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. He hasn’t found a matching bone marrow for her yet. The treatment is very expensive.”

Matthew’s family background was good, and he was in this line of work. He knew a lot of the secrets of these capable people. No matter how unlucky Matthew was, he was still a member of the family and knew a lot about the industry.

Jack’s eyes widened. “So it’s like this! Many years ago, after he divorced his wife, he and his daughter relied on each other and he never remarried. Everyone in the industry knew that he was a slave to his daughter, no wonder he wanted to take a gamble.”

When Vivian heard this, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She looked at the man lying on the ground and had an idea.

Jack had to return to Sage City early the following day, so he had to have a good rest tonight. After saying goodbye to the two, he drove away.

As soon as Jack’s car left, Matthew’s driver came to pick him up. Vivian said goodbye to him and only looked away after the car disappeared.

David’s car was already waiting by the side of the road. Vivian asked David, Daisy, and the others to wait for her there before she walked towards the man who seemed to be dead.

Vivian walked in front of Jobs. The streetlights cast a long shadow on Vivian’s back and covered her head.

Jobs finally reacted. He blinked and turned to look at the woman in front of him.

He thought that he was blocking the other party’s way, so he touched the half-crushed glasses on the ground and put them on. He slowly stood up with his hand on his stomach and forced himself to sit on a stool at the side.

Jobs’ eyes and mouth were bruised, but one could still see the elegance and righteousness in his eyes.

Vivian also sat on the bench, half a meter away from jobs. She opened her handbag and took out a business card. “Hello, Mr. Jobs. My name is Vivian. I have a position in my company that is very suitable for Mr. Jobs. If you are interested, give me a call.”

Jobs looked at Vivian in disbelief. She still dared to hire him when he was in such a sorry state?

Vivian smiled and stuffed the business card into jobs’ shirt pocket. She then turned around and left.

When Vivian got home, it was already past ten o’clock. Leon had already returned. As he was worried about Vivian, he read his book while waiting in the living room.

When Vivian entered, she saw that the floor lamp was on beside the sofa in the living room. Leon was nodding his head, the book in his hand was closed, and he looked extremely sleepy.

Vivian was feeling disstressed. After carefully closing the door, she changed her shoes softly and placed her bag by the entrance. She walked to Leon’s side and touched his face. “Son, I’ll take you upstairs to sleep.”

Hearing Vivian’s gentle voice, Leon woke up in a daze and scratched his head. “Why did I fall asleep? When did you come back?”

Vivian pulled Leon up and brought him upstairs. “I just got home. Next time you’re tired, go to bed first. Don’t wait for me.”

Leon yawned. “It’s okay. Maybe it’s because I had too much training today, so I’m sleepy earlier.”

When Leon returned home from his training, he had already taken a shower and changed into his pajamas. After watching him lie down, Vivian covered him with the blanket. By then, Leon was already a little awake.

Afraid that he would be even more awake, Vivian turned the lamp light on the bedside table to the minimum. Then, she lay down on the bed and patted his back rhythmically. She coaxed him gently, “Mommy will pat your back. Quickly close your eyes and go to sleep.”

Leon felt as if he was lying in a bubble of happiness. He obediently closed his eyes and put one hand on Vivian’s waist. His sleepiness quickly returned.

Vivian had learned this trick from watching a parenting program. Although the other party was coaxing children a few years old, it turned out that it also applied to fourteen-year-old children.

After a few minutes, Leon began to snore softly, which melted Vivian’s heart. She kissed Leon’s forehead gently, then removed his hand from her waist under the blanket. After turning off the lamp, she left quietly.
