Chapter: 899
Ariana carefully arranged candles on the cake, and as Melon closed his eyes to make his wish, they all showered him with
heartfelt gifts, transforming the room into a jubilant display of affection
In a heartbeat, Melon found himself surrounded by a mound of presents, each one a symbol of love from his adoring family. But
due to health reasons, he couldn’t indulge in too many sweets.
Ariana allowed him a small, tantalizing taste of the cream from the cake, which only left him wanting more.
As all children are naturally curious, the more something is withheld from them, the stronger their desire to obtain it. When Ariana
and Sonia momentarily left for the kitchen, Melon couldn’t resist the temptation, and with a mischievous glint in his eye, he
secretly reached out for a touch of cream.
But just before he could succeed, Mitchel caught him in the act.
Firmly, Mitchel held the young boy and spoke seriously. “Do you want to live in the hospital and eat yucky medicine?”
“No,” Melon replied obediently, hanging his head and speaking in a subdued tone, quickly retracting his hand.
Ever since he could remember, he had been taking medicine and getting injections, spending most of his time in the hospital.
Now that he finally had a chance to leave, Melon didn’t want to go back.
Mitchel gently massaged his head, his voice tender as he spoke. “If you don’t wish to, then be a good boy and resist the
temptation.”
The young boy obediently nodded, yet an undertone of melancholy lingered, causing him to lower his head slightly.
Observing Melon’s disheartened demeanor, Mitchel couldn’t bear it any longer and consoled him, “When your body is completely
healed, you’ll have the chance to savor it.”
Melon’s spirits lifted at the news, and he inquired with eager anticipation, “When will I be completely healed?”
Mitchel gently stroked Melon’s head, his expression softening with affection.
Melon’s birth had not been without challenges; Ariana had been administered psychotropic drugs that affected the developing
fetus, causing Melon to be born weak and fragile.
Thankfully, specialized drugs for such conditions were available in Melcorn, and Melon had been receiving treatment there. Over
the past six months, his condition had stabilized, and he had finally stopped taking the medication.
In a vulnerable moment, Melon pulled at Mitchel’s sleeve and pleaded, “Please don’t tell Mommy I tried to sneak a bite, okay?”
Mitchel couldn’t be easily swayed, but a smile graced his face as he replied, “Then you’ll have to make a written promise that you
won’t sneak a bite again.”
“Okay
Their agreement stood firm: whenever Melon made a mistake, he had to pen a promise.
” Melon readily agreed, showing no hesitation.

Despite being just five years old, Melon had acquired the skill of reading at an early age due to having few playmates during his
hospital stay. His brightness and impressive vocabulary matched that of an eight or nine-year-old.
After dinner, Mitchel received an urgent phone call, calling him back to the Laboratory. Meanwhile, Melon seized the chance to
retreat to his room and craft the promise. Left alone in the living room, Sonia and Ariana tidied up while engaging in
conversation.
Sonia let out a wistful sigh. “Mitchel is truly a good man. The way he cares for Melon speaks volumes about his affection for
him.”
Ariana smiled and nodded, agreeing without a hint of denial.
Playfully nudging Ariana, Sonia couldn’t resist a bit of gossip. “He treats you quite well too. Are you genuinely not considering
being with Mitchel?”
