All Novel Sweet

She was so sweet that Alpha Kilian yearned for her to be his daughter. “If anything happens in the future, call me immediately. You’re too young to understand how cruel the world can be. Your safety is my top priority, alright?”
Upon hearing his words, Donna’s heart overflowed with joy. “Can I seek you out whenever I want?”
“Of course,” Alpha Kilian replied.
“That’s wonderful! I have someone to protect me!” Donna threw her arms around Alpha Kilian’s neck, elated.
Lara observed them from the sidelines, a mysterious smile gracing her lips.
This girl possesses an uncanny way with words. It’s not that I view her as a rival, but there’s something about her that defies her young age… and she emits a familiar aura. I can’t quite place who she reminds me of.
“Who is she, Alpha Kilian?”
“The child I met at the airport. I mentioned her to you before,” Alpha Kilian replied.
“It’s her!” Lara beamed, then turned to Donna. “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?”
Donna spun around and noticed Lara standing there. After scrutinizing her from head to toe, she responded coolly, “Donna.”
“That’s a highly unique name,” Lara commented. “Where are your parents?”
The smile vanished from Donna’s face. “I don’t have a daddy. My mommy isn’t here either.”
“You don’t have a daddy? Why not?”
“A woman probably took him away,” Donna replied with a shrug.
Um…
Unbeknownst to Lara, Donna was referring to her. For a brief moment, Lara was at a loss for words.
Alpha Kilian intervened. “Alright, let’s change the subject. Do you want something to eat, Donna? I’ll take you to get some food.”
“Okay!” Donna nodded.
With Donna in his arms, Alpha Kilian strode forward happily. While Lara stared at their retreating figures, an unfamiliar emotion stirred within her.
She approached them and smiled, asking, “Donna, would you like me to carry you?”
Donna, evidently unwilling, clung to Alpha Kilian’s neck and insisted, “No! I want Mr. Handsome to carry me.”
Lara was speechless.
Without saying a word, Alpha Kilian carried Donna away.
At a coffee shop near the hospital, he ordered two cups of coffee and a dessert, specifically for the little girl.
While Donna ate, she felt safe and protected by Alpha Kilian.
However, when she looked at Lara seated across from her and remembered the news she recently saw, she inquired, “What’s your relationship with Mr. Handsome?”
Caught off guard by Donna’s sudden query, Lara glanced at her before fixing her gaze on Alpha Kilian.
“Is it a difficult question to answer?” Donna persisted, still exuding adorableness.
Lara was taken aback. She glanced at Donna and then at Alpha Kilian, gathering her thoughts before asking, “What do you think our relationship is?”
“Um… probably that of a boss and his subordinate.”
“Why do you say that?”
“It just seems that way,” Donna replied matter-of-factly.
Lara was rendered speechless. Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian gazed at Donna with an affectionate, doting smile.
“Is my guess right, Mr. Handsome?”
“Yes,” Alpha Kilian nodded.
Donna flashed him a satisfied grin and continued enjoying her dessert.
For some reason, Lara felt a twinge of unhappiness. Nonetheless, she had to feign indifference.
“Can I have another portion later, Mr. Handsome?”
“Of course! You can eat as much as you want.”
“You’re amazing!” Donna beamed, her cuteness radiating.
When Lara witnessed this, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Meanwhile, Tony and Ben ascended to the VIP wards.
They had been contemplating how to approach Alpha Larry. However, upon reaching the upper floor, they immediately spotted Alpha Larry strolling about with a nurse in tow.
“I’ve been taking medicine all day. Can’t I rest for a bit?”
“Sir, that was in the morning. You haven’t taken any medicine since then,” the nurse persuaded, accompanying him.
“Stop following me! Let me have some peace and quiet. I’ll go back and take my medicine later, alright?” Alpha Larry implored.
“You always say the same thing,” the nurse replied with a tinge of sadness.
When the kids witnessed their interaction, Ben couldn’t help but chuckle. “He’s bullying her!”
“He’s just like you when you have to take medicine,” Tony teased.
Ben fell silent.
“Alright, let’s go,” Tony suggested. Since they had confirmed that Alpha Larry was fine, there was nothing to worry about.
However, Ben held him back. “Aren’t we going to talk to him?”
“About what?”
“We’re already here! It would be a shame if we don’t talk to him,” Ben reasoned.
Tony furrowed his brow.
“You resemble Daddy the most. You should go!” Ben urged.
Tony hesitated.
“What if we can gather valuable information?” Ben added.
That piqued Tony’s interest. “What should I say?”
After Ben whispered in Tony’s ear, he grimaced. He was extremely reluctant to say it, but he couldn’t deny that Ben was a genius.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Go for it!”
“Stay here and don’t move.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on you from here.”
Only then did Tony nod, take a deep breath, and step forward.
Although they were in the VIP hospital wards, it was quite crowded. After all, many wealthy individuals sought treatment here.
Tony purposefully approached Alpha Larry. Just as he reached him, he gently collided with Alpha Larry and looked up.
“Sorry.”
Alpha Larry glanced down. He was about to speak, but he froze upon catching a glimpse of Tony.
“You…”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to,” Tony sincerely apologized.
“It’s… It’s alright,” Alpha Larry reassured hastily. He bent down and couldn’t tear his eyes away from Tony’s face.
Having single-handedly raised Alpha Kilian, Alpha Larry knew his grandson’s appearance inside out.
This kid looks exactly like Alpha Kilian! He’s like a spitting image.
“What’s your name?” Alpha Larry asked, his shocked gaze fixed on Tony’s face.
“I’m Tony.”
“Tony?” Alpha Larry repeated before bursting into laughter. “You look just like my grandson.” Remembering something, he inquired, “Where are your parents?”
