章節 3: Chapter 3: The Dignified President is Despised by Little Mengbao_1

Mason King, upon waking up, doubted that he was hallucinating due to excessive blood loss. He stared for a long time before accepting that the person in front of him was indeed a very young girl.

He watched the beautiful child silently, his voice low and hoarse from his long slumber: "Where are the adults in your house?"

"Mommy went to the supermarket to buy chocolate for me! Uncle, do you want some? But Mommy says you can't eat chocolate when you're sick." Abigail Trent spoke as she stared at the handsome man's face, her eyes round like grapes.

Mason's cold and white eyebrows moved slightly: "..."

Abigail sat next to him with excitement as if she had saved a bunny, her mouth chattering nonstop: "Uncle, does it hurt? Oh, right, Mommy said I should feed you water!"

Abigail suddenly jumped down from the bed and ran towards the bedroom door, shouting, "Uncle, don't move around, wait for me!"

Mason glanced sideways at the little adorable child who had suddenly run out, hearing sounds from outside the room of climbing up and down and rummaging through things to get water. In just a few minutes, she came back, holding half a cup of water, swaying slightly.

Abigail went to the bedside and stood on tiptoes to feed him the water. She remembered that Mommy had used a spoon these past days, but she didn't know how to do that, so she got a straw, put it in the cup, and held the cup up for him to drink.

"Uncle! Mommy said you're running a fever and you need to drink more water!"

Seeing the little girl struggling on her tiptoes, Mason slowly raised his other arm that wasn't intravenously injected, taking the water cup and sipping through the straw, his throat feeling much relieved from the dry and hoarse sensation.

He looked again at the adorable child standing by the bed with her head cocked to the side, her eyes round: "Was it your mom who saved me?"

"Yeah!" Abigail jumped back on the bed, mysteriously taking out a pink "Peppa Pig" sticker from her pocket, tearing one off, and sticking the crowned pink pig on his hand. She said earnestly, "When I get a shot, as long as I'm good and don't move, Mommy will reward me with this! Uncle, be good, don't move! I'll put it on for you!"

Mason's left arm was temporarily immobile, looking at the pink sticker that appeared next to the medical tape, his cold eyebrows twitched slightly. He then looked at the expectant little child wanting to be praised.

"Isn't it pretty! It's my favorite Peppa Pig! Do you like it, Uncle?"

"...I like it."

Mason put the water cup aside and supported himself with one hand to sit up. The blanket slid down due to this movement, revealing that he was only wearing a loose dark gray pair of shorts, which looked new. Obvious injuries on his body were covered with gauze and had been disinfected and treated with medicine.

"Did any other adult in your house help treat my wounds?" He turned to look at the little girl still sitting on the bed.

"We only have Mommy at home. Mommy said you are male and wouldn't let me watch while she was changing your clothes. After she finished dressing you, I saw her face turn red!"

"..."

Mason was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Is she not worried about leaving you here alone with a stranger like me in the house?"

The little girl immediately stared at him with round eyes: "I'm not afraid!"

The man raised his elegant eyebrows slightly: "Hmm?"

Lily said seriously: "Mommy said Uncle is badly injured, can't beat me, and can't run faster than me, so there's no need to worry!"

The CEO of the York-King Group, standing at the peak of life for twenty-six years, rarely weak but despised by a child: "..."


章節 4: Chapter 4: Does Your Family Have a Throne to Inherit? _1

Suzanne Trent had just returned home. She heard Abigail Trent's words through the door and pushed it open to enter.

"Abigail, only during your crying fits do you show any talent for tearing this family apart. You really think you're capable of anything..."

Before she finished speaking, Suzanne lifted her eyes, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

The man was propping himself up with one hand on the bedside, half-sitting up, his hair disheveled from lying unconscious for three days.

Having seen him in a coma for the past few days, she knew he was good-looking. However, she didn't expect that he would be this... stunning after waking up.

Suzanne had seen many good-looking men, but for a moment, she still hesitated, then locked eyes with him. A few seconds later, she regained her composure and approached the bedside.

"So you're awake, well done for not being dead. Tell me your family's contact information, and I'll have them come to pick you up. Your shirt and suit don't even have a phone or wallet, so I had no choice but to bring you home. Now that you're awake, vacate my bed as soon as possible."

Suzanne rubbed her shoulder: "I had to sleep on the sofa for three days because of you."

She continued to look at the man on the bed: " Do you have any contact information for your family?"

The man glanced at her and uttered two simple words: "No."

Without any explanation, his voice was detached and hoarse due to his severe injuries.

"No? How can that be? You must have some contact information for your parents or relatives, like their phone numbers or your home address."

Mason King remained silent for a few seconds before saying three sharp words: "Can't remember."

He couldn't go back now, the timing wasn't right.

Suzanne's heart skipped a beat as she thought about the cliff where she found him and the shards of rock scattered in the grass. His head seemed to be injured at that time, and his body was badly wounded as well. Surely it wasn't as clichéd as... memory loss?

Even modern-day screenwriters wouldn't dare use such a cheesy amnesia plot device.

Without another thought, Suzanne picked up her phone. "If you really can't remember, I'll have no choice but to take you to the police. I could save you once, but I can't just leave you here with no relatives or acquaintances."

At this moment, Mason noticed that the medicine in the IV bag had run out, so he pulled the needle out with one hand.

Suzanne saw the few drops of blood that emerged on the back of his hand, and instinctively rushed to apply a disinfectant cotton swab. "Did you really hit your head? How could you pull the needle out yourself when you're this injured?"

Mason was suddenly pressed by her and a subtle fragrance filled his nostrils. He looked at the woman who had come closer: "With injuries like these, can I really stand up to police questioning?"

Suzanne's dark eyes flickered, and she released her hand, backing away slightly. "How can you be this composed when you can't remember anything? Are you really not pretending to have memory loss and just trying to take advantage of Lily and me?"

Mason applied the disinfectant cotton to his own hand, and responded lightly: "Even though I can't remember anything about myself, I still have my memories before the accident. I was hit by a car and pushed off a cliff, tumbling down with the vehicle. That proves that I was merely in an accident, and I'm probably not a bad person. You've already kept me for three days, keeping me for a few more shouldn't be a big issue."

"How can there be no issue? I've been sleeping on the sofa for three days already..."

"I can sleep on the sofa."

"That's not the point! You're a stranger, and we don't know your background!"

"I'm not a bad person."

"That's still not acceptable!"

"Of course it is."

"..."

How can someone who's lost their memory be so calm and composed?

He was too calm and composed, something was definitely off.

Despite lying injured on the bed, he seemed to be high and mighty as if ordering her around...

Did his memory get confused and make him think he was going to inherit a throne at home?
