Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The maid didn't know what she should do. With the tray in her hands, she looked down at the little boy. Although he was too young, the eyes with which he was looking at her were so intense that it could easily compel anyone to go according to his wishes. His small stature didn't matter as at the moment, he held the aura better than many adults.

The maid felt complicated. Turning to look on the side, she waited to get the orders from Li Xue.

Li Xue's eyes stared at the little body. For some reason, she was not surprised. Not that she expected this, but more like she knew that this boy was not simple. Same as her daughter, this boy also has unique charms but what kept her amused looking at him today was his attitude towards Li Wei. That was a bit different.

Li Xue nodded and gestured the maid to give the tray to the boy. Getting the orders from the woman, the maid didn't delay. Understanding, she bent down to help him with the tray.

Avron held the tray of medicine and turned to look at Li Wei. His expressions were all calm and soft. Without saying anything, he brought the tray first on the table by the side of the bed. Taking the leaf of medicine in his hand, he then peeled out a tablet. Then taking the glass of water in his other hand, he took his steps to give it to WeiWei.

But his walk suddenly paused as his expression changed looking at the pill. Li Xue noticed it and just before she could ask it, her little one did the job. Looking at Avron, Little Li Wei asked, "Brother Avron, what happened? Is there anything wrong?"

Avron looked up at her and then back at the pill. His eyes seemed to be struggling along with the thoughts. "This pill may be bitter. You have a sweet tooth; you may not like it." He said but on his say like that, WeiWei smiled looking back at her mother.

"Medicines are created to be bitter and WeiWei is born to be sweet. Right, Mama?" She said and seeing her daughter smiling, Li Xue nodded before turning towards the boy to ask the tablet in his hands.

Avron looked at the pill one more time but then handed it in the hands of Li Xue to say, "This might really be bitter."

Li Xue looked at him and shook her head. "It's okay, dear. Don't worry. Even after having a sweet tooth, Li Wei knows that medicines only work when they are bitter. Bitterness has its own benefit which shouldn't be considered according to your likes and dislikes." She said as gestured WeiWei to open her mouth before she put the pill down her throat. Then handing her the glass of water, she gestured to her to gulp it.

And all known to steps of eating the medicines, WeiWei followed the orders of her mother, finally having it all. Then turning to Avron, she said, "See, Brother Avron, it wasn't that bad. WeiWei downed it with water and now there is no bitterness." She smiled and Avron just nodded to her with a small curl on his lips.

"That's great. Now by today's night, you would be all well." He said and WeiWei continued with her smile, nodding at him.

Li Xue gestured the maid to take away the glass and the tray first before gesturing to the team of doctors as well. Getting her command, one after the other everyone left. And once everyone was gone, she turned back at the young boy to ask, "Avron, earlier I noticed that you have a very good knowledge of medicines. Have you got a hobby of learning them?"

Avron turned to look at her and without showing any hesitation, he added, "Not exactly the habit but the necessity. I have been learning a few things from my father. He is a doctor. And only after learning the basics, I would be able to look after the health of my loved ones." He spoke. Although there were many words in his sentences, his tone was curt, omitting all unnecessary explanations from his words

Li Xue heard him and nodded, once again getting impressed with his clear thoughts. "So, your father is a doctor. That's great." She said and was about to add more, but paused when her phone rang on the side. And she doesn't have to see the name of the caller to know who was there. She could already guess it.

Turning, she got the phone in her hands and received the call to say, "Mr. Beelzebub, before you say anything, let me tell you, she is better and has already taken the medicines. There was nothing to worry about." She said and from the other end of the call, heard a hum come.

She paused at that hum. Her expression grew serious as she asked, "Mr. Beelzebub, is everything fine. You sound a bit stressed." Living with him and knowing him from all those months, now it was easy for her to read his words, tone, and even gazes. And now, hearing his plain hum like that, she could say that something was bothering him.

As Li Xue asked, the call grew silent. After a while, his dimmed voice came, laced with extreme seriousness. "I would have to go out of the country for some days." He said and Li Xue heard him before asking.

"Is it something serious?"

The man hummed. "Mhm. There is something I need to look into personally. So, I would have to go and check on the things." He said and Li Xue need not ask the depth of the seriousness. Just the fact that he was ready to leave even after knowing WeiWei was sick was enough to let her know the intensity of the things.

"It's okay then. Go and do your work first and return soon. I will be fine with WeiWei here by my side." Li Xue said.
