Chapter 467 Dad, I Want to Leave the Hospital and Go HIn Lucy's eyes, she was just a third wheel.
Kelvin just gave a simple "Hmm." He left the door slightly open, just a crack.
"Mr. Davis." Madison turned into a delicate little flower when she saw him. "I'm so glad you're here. I didn't know what to do. If I don't take good care of Lucy, what will people think of me?" She was already playing the stepmom role.
"Why did Lucy start crying all of a sudden?" Kelvin asked.
"I don't know. She woke up and has been crying and fussing ever since. Nothing I do can calm her down," Madison replied.
Outside, Penelope peeked through the glass on the door frame, quietly watching the scene inside.
Seeing Lucy's tear-streaked face broke her heart.
But she couldn't go in, couldn't do anything, just watched from there.
Her dear Lucy.

Kelvin sat by the hospital bed with a tissue, gently wiping her tears. "Lucy, tell Daddy, why do you suddenly want to leave the hospital? The doctor set a date, and it's not here yet." "Daddy, Daddy, you... you finally came." Lucy was so sad she could barely speak.
She threw herself into Kelvin's arms. "I want to go home. I want to leave here forever and never cback. Daddy, please takeaway. I'm already better." Seeing Lucy's tears fall like rain, Kelvin sighed softly.
He had always been most afraid of Penelope's tears, and now he realized there was another Lucy.
"Daddy can take you home," Kelvin replied, "but you have to tell Daddy why." "Because, because..." Lucy stammered.
"Hmm? Don't rush, take your time," Kelvin said.
Tears still clung to Lucy's eyelashes. "I had a terrible nightmare. I saw a demon with a huge, bloody mouth..." "Lucy, there are no demons in the world. It was just a dream," Kelvin said.
"But the dream felt so real. If Mommy hadn't toldit was a nightmare, I would have thought it really happened," Lucy answered earnestly. "The demon was standing by my bed, reaching out to strangle me." "You thought it was real, but Mommy said you were dreaming?" Kelvin asked. Lucy nodded.
Hearing this, Kelvin understood.
It was obviously Madison's doing! Penelope outside also understood.
What demon, what bloody mouth, what dream, what reality-all of it was Madison's doing! She must have worn a mask to scare Lucy and then told her it was just a nightmare. "Daddy, it was so scary. It felt like the demon was right in front of me. I could even touch its face. It looked like it wanted to eat me," Lucy said, shrinking her neck. "The demon said if I stayed here, it would cto findevery day!" Kelvin held Lucy, gently patting her back.
He always comforted Lucy with a soft and gentle voice.
"Don't be afraid," he said. "Daddy is here and can protect you from all nightmares and demons." "But Daddy, you don't sleep here at night," Lucy said.
Kelvin pressed his lips together. "If you're that scared, Daddy can stay with you until you fall asleep. That way, the demon won't dare cnear." "The hospital bed is very small, Daddy." Lucy gestured. "and you should be sharing a bed with Mommy." This reminded Kelvin.
Share a bed with Madison? That was absolutely impossible! Lucy kept going, "And Daddy, you can't stay withevery night. Why don't we just leave the hospital? I'm really fine now. I'm all better!" Kelvin thought it over and finally agreed. "Alright." No way he was sharing a bed with Madison, not even for show! Plus, Lucy wasn't just fussing to leave; Madison had scared her on purpose! If he didn't let Lucy leave, Madison would probably pull more stunts! Lucy was too young to handle that kind of scare. He didn't want her getting sick from fright.
Kelvin also figured out Madison's game.
Madison didn't want to stay in the hospital taking care of Lucy anymore. It was too much work. She wanted to move into The King Manor and live the high life! Taking care of a three-year-old every day? No way she was up for that. So, she pulled this trick.
Lucy's eyes lit up. "Daddy, you agreed?" "Yep, let's get you discharged. Daddy's taking you home." Lucy didn't jump for joy right away. She looked at Madison, seeking her approval.
"Mommy, Daddy agreed. Can you agree too, please?" Her tone was so cautious.
Afraid of making Madison mad.

If Penelope were here, Lucy would to r never show such an expression! Madison pretended to be reluctant. "Lucy, it's not that I don't want you to leave the hospital, but your body hasn't fully recovered. You can't be too willful. I'm worried about you, so I can't let you do whatever you want." "Lucy has recovered well, and a few more days won't make a difference," Kelvin said. "Pack up your things and get ready to leave the hospital." "Mr. Davis, you're spoiling Lucy too much," Madison said.
"She's my only daughter. What's wrong with spoiling her a bit? I'm more concerned about her health than you are. We can have doctors and nurses cto The King Manor to check on her every day." Kelvin thought it was tto keep Lucy under his watch. Even with 24-hour surveillance, leaving her alone with Madison in the hospital and letting Madison take full care of her, wasn't right.
Back at The King Manor, Madison wouldn't care for Lucy herself. She'd have the servants do it, only giving orders.
That was fine.
At least Kelvin could have trusted people to manage Lucy's daily life, meals, and other needs.
No need for everything to go through Madison, and Lucy wouldn't rely on Madison so much! "Alright," Madison pretended to compromise. "since you've agreed, what else can I say?" She acted like she was deeply concerned about Lucy's health.
But in reality? Kelvin sneered inwardly, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.
No worries, he had noted down every single thing Madison had done.
One day, he would settle accounts with Madison one by one! She would pay for this! Seeing Madison relent, Lucy finally jumped up in joy. "Yay! Mommy is the best. Daddy is the best! I can leave the hospital and never cback!" "Yes." Kelvin wrapped her in his arms, holding her tight. "Lucy can go hand be a little princess."
