Yvette only left after lecturing Xavier. Now, he would let her scold him as much as she wanted and wouldn’t get angry at all. Instead, he would just look at her innocently with his deep, dark eyes. Although she knew he was blind, she still couldn’t help feeling worried.
Noah was staying at the hospital, and Zachary had told him about Xavier staying with Yvette. He had also learned about how Xavier had been in an accident and had lost his eyesight. Someone was even impersonating him.
“He deserves everything,” Noah said angrily.
Zachary also said from the other end of the call, “Yeah, that’s karma.”
“It’s too bad that we weren’t the ones who delivered justice.” Noah sighed.
Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately told Zachary, “Zac, Mr. Lander is going to visit me with Mom today. I want them to be together. What do you think?”
The brothers knew how well Claude had treated Yvette when they had been living abroad. Claude wasn’t like Xavier, who’d been in a relationship with someone else before.
Not only that, but he had also been Yvette’s childhood friend. They figured he was a perfect match for her Noah also knew how much Viola liked Claude as well.
Meanwhile, Zachary was silent. After a while, he said, “Will Mom be alright with it?”
“She definitely likes Mr. Lander. She’s just too shy about it. Don’t worry. I’ll bring them together today.” Noah looked confident.
“Sure.”
After the call ended, Noah lay on the bed, feeling bored as he waited for Yvette and Claude. When it was noon, Yvette arrived with Claude. Noah started acting coy immediately, “Mom, why aren’t you letting me stay with you? I’m so lonely here. I miss you, Zac, and Grandma…”
When Yvette saw his teary eyes, her heart melted immediately. She felt bad for him as she said, “I’m sorry, baby.”
The doctor had said that Noah was too fragile, and he had to stay at the hospital. That way, the doctor could monitor him and keep his condition under control at all times while he waited for his surgery. Noah reached out to hug her. “Mom, can you and Mr. Lander take me out to play today?”
She couldn’t bear to reject his request and looked at Claude. “Are you busy this afternoon, Claude?”
“No. I can play with Noah,” he answered.
“Thank you.”
After Yvette talked to the nurse, she helped Noah get changed before taking him out.
When they exited the building, Noah suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at a family of three

nearby. The father was carrying his daughter and holding his wife’s hand. Noah was envious of them.
“Mom…”
“What’s wrong?” She crouched and looked at him.
“I want a dad too,” he said.
Yvette was stunned and didn’t know what to do at that moment. The two boys had never mentioned this to her before.
When Yvette heard Noah’s words, she felt a pang of sadness that she had never felt before. She didn’t know how to comfort him.
Just as she was feeling sad, Noah suddenly grabbed Claude’s hand. “Mom, can you let Mr. Lander be my dad?”
Yvette went from being sad to being embarrassed in an instant. “Noah, we can’t do that…”
Before she could finish her words, Claude carried Noah and went with the flow. “Yvvy, it’s rare for us to take him out, so let’s not upset him.”
Noah noticed how cooperative Claude was, and he immediately said, “Dad, I’ve missed you so much! I finally have a dad now!”
“I’m sorry for coming back so late,” Claude said gently.
Meanwhile, Yvette walked beside them. She felt extremely sad when she heard what they were saying. Her children had never had a father’s love, and she blamed herself for that.
As Noah held on to Claude, he said, “Dad, hold Mom’s hand now. That way, we won’t get lost ever again.” Claude was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Yvette, whose face was blushing bright red.
He was worried that she would reject the idea, so he immediately took the opportunity to grab her hand before she could say anything.
