Chapter 70
Chapter 70 My Dad Is Amazing
Draxton was shocked when he recalled everything that had happened just now. He remembered that he was bitten by a venomous snake when trying to save his daughter. Draxton thought that he would die because of that. To his surprise, he turned out fine.
However, Draxton was in a worried state of mind when he saw silver needles on his body.
Then Draxton heard some sounds, and the door opened slowly. Draxton did not dare to make a move, so he tilted his head to look over. He saw that his daughter was holding a bowl that was larger than her face. It was filled with black liquid that had a heavy bitter smell.
Draxton's face turned pale. He tried to get up but found that he could not do it. Draxton assumed that those silver needles were on certain acupoints.
Draxton worriedly said, "Why are you carrying the medicine? Put it down now! Don't burn yourself!"
Seeing his daughter do such a dangerous thing, Draxton was very anxious.
Betty looked at Draxton in disdain, replying, "Hey, do you look down on me? Do you think I can't even carry a bowl?"
Draxton immediately denied, "No... No."
Draxton did not say anything else because he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter's self-esteem, However, he could not help looking at her hands and murmuring, "Such small hands are holding a big bowl of medicine. My heart ached."
Betty placed the big bowl on the bedside table and walked to the bed. She reached out to those silver needles on Draxton's body.
Draxton was shocked and hurriedly warned Betty, "Don't touch it!"
Then Draxton realized that his tone may be too harsh and was worried that he would scare his daughter. Therefore, Draxton quickly explained in a soft voice, "I mean, you can't casually touch these silver needles. Little cutie, can you find the person who put these needles on me to remove them?"
Hearing what Draxton said, Betty rolled her eyes at Draxton and raised her chin proudly, saying, "I am the one who set these needles!"
Draxton did not believe it, thinking, "It is impossible for this five-year-old girl to apply acupuncture no matter how smart this five-year-old child she is.
"If so, that will be insane."
However, in the next minutes, Betty proved herself. She removed the needles from Draxton's body so fast that Draxton did not even have time to react. Most importantly, it did not hurt at all.
When Betty was focusing on pulling out the needles, Draxton stared at Betty's small hand. Draxton thought, "Betty's hands are so cute. Those chubby fingers even have little swirls on them. Aww, my heart is melted for
them."
To Draxton's surprise, this pair of small hands could apply an acupuncture technique that Draxton had never
seen before.
Draxton was proud of Betty, but at the same time, he felt sorry for Betty.
Draxton thought, "Betty is at such a young age. How much hardship has she overcome to have this achievement?"
Draxton had asked Isabella about her and Ricky's life over the past five years, but Isabella never told Draxton the details. Thus, Draxton did not ask her again.
Draxton somehow realized that the answer might carry too much information for him.
Draxton continued his thought, "If I hadn't fallen in love with Isabella or had never seen Ricky, perhaps I could be stone-hearted.
"However, I was attracted to the mother and son when hearing them talking at the airport. The killing intent instantly disappeared when I found out that Isabella was the woman I met five years ago and that the cute kid was my son.
"I want them. I want them to be with me for the rest of the life.
"Now, I meet my daughter and finally have the courage to face that question. What kind of life have the three of them lived in the past five years?
"Why can a five-year-old child skillfully apply acupuncture?"
Noticing the indescribable expressions on Draxton's face, Betty despised Draxton more, asking, "Did I hurt you? Hey, I can't handle it if you cry."
Betty was obviously mocking Draxton.
Draxton was happy that he had a daughter, but he also felt this little girl's hostility toward him.
Draxton now understood why there were so many poisonous snakes in the previous house where he stayed. He thought, "It is probably this girl who set those snakes to scare me."
Realizing this harsh fact, Draxton did not know whether to laugh or cry. He felt kind of sad.
Draxton said to himself, "It seems that this girl knows about my existence. If not, she won't be so angry at me."
Draxton was not angry when being treated like that by the girl. Instead, he felt sadder.
Draxton thought, "It must be because this girl did not have a nice life in the past few years that she hates me so much."
Draxton gently asked, "Sweetie, what's your name? Can you tell... me?"
Draxton was about to say daddy but was afraid this little girl would stick the needle back. After all, Draxton realized that this girl's temper was worse than Ricky's though she looked like Ricky. Betty glanced at Draxton and said proudly, "My name is Elizabeth Thompson. You can call me Little Queen Elizabeth from now on!"
When he saw Betty being so proud, Draxton's heart melted. Draxton gently looked at Betty and softly replied, "Alright, Little Queen Elizabeth. You are brilliant!"
He was praising her.
Betty was a little happy when hearing what Draxton said, but she kept being condescending. She said inside, "I will not easily fall into that."
Betty snorted gently and said, "Well, thanks. It looks like you are not blind."
Draxton smiled when listening to Betty's reply.
Draxton cried inside, "She's so cute!
"Oh my, this adorable kid is my daughter!"
However, when he noticed that Isabella and Ricky had been hiding Betty from him, Draxton suddenly felt
angry.
Draxton tried his best to calm down and asked gently, "Little Queen Elizabeth, do you live here? Did your mother live here before too?"
Betty's face turned cold when she heard that question. She pulled out the last needle without answering the question. Then Draxton immediately felt that he had regained his mobility and sat up.
As Draxton sat up, Betty slightly moved her little chin, indicating that big bowl to Draxton.
"Drink it all," Betty said with her cold little face. It looked like negotiation was not applicable.
Draxton silently looked at the big bowl on the bedside table. Draxton wondered why he had to drink so much medicine but did not hesitate to take a sip when thinking of how Betty carried this big bowl. Then Draxton's face twisted.
Draxton said inside, "I swear I have never tasted such a terrible thing.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Compared with this thing, the medicine with the worst taste in the world can be considered delicious."
Draxton was well-educated but could not describe how this medicine tasted with language.
Draxton took a few deep breaths and held back the intention to throw up. Fortunately, he did it.
Then Draxton looked down at the big bowl in his hands and fell silent.
"Hey, drink the medicine. You're sick. You'll only recover after drinking the medicine. Are you afraid of the Chapter 70 My Dad Is Amazing
bitter medicine?"
A soft voice raised. Draxton looked over and saw a sly smile on Betty's face.
Draxton was silent for a moment. Then he raised the bowl and gulped down the medicine.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down from Draxton's forehead, and Draxton made it to stay calm.
Draxton turned around and looked at Betty, saying, "Little Queen Elizabeth, your medicine is amazing."
As he spoke, Draxton held his stomach and felt the liquid churning in his stomach. Draxton wanted to vomit so much when speaking.
Betty widened her eyes and looked at Draxton with an indescribable expression.
Betty thought, "I wanted to see his painful expression when he can't drink the medicine. I was expecting that
he would give up because of the bitterness. But he drank it all in one gulp! Unbelievable!"
Betty did not say a word but was shocked seeing Draxton drink all the medicine.
Betty cried inside, "My dad is amazing!"
