Chapter 421: Magnus Wants Isaac to Accompany Him
Isaac felt a touch of bitter self-mockery as he noticed Nora's gaze on him.
He also thought that Magnus was scared by him.
Although he was framed by Mortimer and forced to kick Magnus.
But only he and Mortimer knew about this.
In Magnus's mind, he probably thought Isaac kicked him on purpose.
It was normal for Magnus to be scared of him.
Even if Magnus hated him, it was normal.
"You arrange Magnus's next treatment," Isaac instructed, then walked towards the door.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to see Magnus?" Rhys stopped him, frowning.
Isaac gave him a look as if he were an idiot, "You just said he was so scared that he lost his voice, and now you want me to see him? Do you think he hasn't been scared enough?"
Rhys explained, "Even if he's afraid of you, seeing you now won't scare him more. It takes a sudden big shock to scare him more."
"Besides, I think you should explain things to him. Help him feel at ease and work through his inner conflict. Only then can he start to move past his fears and talk again."
Isaac was somewhat moved by his words.
But he was still worried about scaring Magnus.
He couldn't make up his mind and looked at Nora, "Can I go see Magnus?"
Nora hesitated.
She didn't want Isaac to get close to Magnus.
She was worried Magnus would be scared.
What if he got scared again?
Rhys persuaded, "Nora, I think Isaac should see Magnus, say some kind words to him, and dispel his inner fear."
"If Magnus's fear is caused by Isaac, then having Isaac actively dispel his fear is the best way."
"Otherwise, his constant fear is very bad for both his body and mind."
Seeing Rhys insist, Nora had to compromise, "Since you say so, let's do as you say."
"But let me make it clear, if Magnus gets scared again after seeing him, I won't let them meet again!"
She then looked at Isaac, "Do you agree?"
Isaac felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The thought of possibly never seeing his son again made him very sad.
But he still nodded and agreed hoarsely, "Okay, I agree. If Magnus is afraid of me, I won't see him again."
He would only secretly visit him.
Nora said, "Then let's go."
Magnus had been moved back to a regular ward.
Nora walked into the ward first.
Isaac, afraid of scaring Magnus, lagged far behind.
After entering the ward, Nora went to the bedside, holding Barrett's hand and speaking to him gently.
Isaac looked at the weak Barrett lying on the bed, standing at the door, not daring to approach.
Although he wanted to see Magnus, now that he was in the ward, he didn't dare to get close, fearing he would scare Magnus.
Moreover, he felt guilty towards Magnus, not daring to face him, afraid of seeing fear and disgust in Magnus's eyes.
Although it was Mortimer's framing that caused him to accidentally injure Magnus, it was indeed him who kicked Magnus.
"What are you doing standing there? Go in!" Rhys couldn't help but push him when he saw Isaac standing at the door.
Isaac didn't move an inch.
He voiced in a deep voice, "Forget it, I'll just look at him from here. I won't go in and scare him."
Rhys shook his head, "Whatever, do as you like."
At this moment, Barrett on the bed heard their voices, turned his head with difficulty, and looked towards the door.
Isaac's heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to hide.
He turned directly and walked out the door.
"Daddy." Barrett's weak voice came through.
Isaac's steps stopped abruptly, looking at Barrett in shock.
"Did I hear wrong?" Isaac grabbed Rhys's arm, almost crushing his bones.
He seemed to have heard Magnus call him.
But Magnus was afraid of him and couldn't speak now, how could he call him?
He suspected he was hearing things.
"Ow, let go of me, you're going to break my arm!" Rhys cried out in pain.
Rhys pulled his hand out forcefully, his face twisted in pain, "You didn't hear wrong, I heard him call you too!"
"Next time you want to confirm something, can you just ask? Don't grab me. Don't you know how strong you are?"
"It hurts so much, I won't be able to hold a scalpel for three days."
Rhys's voice was full of resentment.
He rolled up his sleeve and looked at the purple handprint where Isaac had grabbed him, the flesh still not bouncing back.
It showed how much force Isaac had used.
Luckily, he was a man.
If it had been a woman, her hand would have been broken.
At this moment, Nora was also shocked, thinking she was hearing things.
Magnus didn't even call her, how could he call Isaac?
Moreover, Isaac had kicked him into serious injury, and he was still stuck in bed, barely able to move. How could Magnus call Isaac "Daddy"?
She must have heard wrong.
"Daddy." Barrett weakly called again, his bright eyes looking eagerly at Isaac.
There was no fear, no terror, no hatred in his eyes, but rather infinite expectation and longing, as if he wanted Isaac to protect him.
Nora stood stunned by the bed, looking at Barrett in shock, her mind blank.
Why was Magnus like this?
Isaac also came to his senses.
He took a few long strides to the bedside, knelt down, and held Barrett's hands with trembling hands.
"Daddy is here, don't be afraid."
Isaac's voice was trembling, his heart extremely excited.
The unease, panic, and fear in Barrett's eyes seemed to disappear completely at this moment.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at Isaac, "Daddy, stay with me."
"Okay, Daddy will stay with you." Isaac nodded gently, a smile appearing on his face.
Barrett then added, "No one else."
Isaac held his hand tightly and nodded seriously, "Okay, Daddy won't let anyone else near you. You rest well."
Barrett was very weak, and his body was trying to protect itself by making him super sleepy to save energy and heal up fast.
He had been forcing himself to stay awake because of his unease and fear.
Now that he felt at ease, Barrett's eyelids closed instantly, and he fell into a deep sleep.
His small hand gently held Isaac's finger, as if afraid he would leave.
