No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1515

1515 /1518

Cedric's headache was pounding on his head. He had rarely gotten any headaches in the past few years, but he had been getting headaches ever since he met the little girl.

He realized that he should have just left the girl at the airport from the very start and just minded his own business.

The driver opened the door, and Cedric stepped out of the car. He looked at Luna sprawled on the ground and walked over to her impatiently.

Luna looked up at him with her big eyes filled with tears, a drop of it was even hanging at the corner of her mouth.

Cedric's expression was stern as he clicked his tongue. "I told you, I'm not your dad. Why do you keep calling me daddy?"

Luna sat up from the ground and lifted up her skirt to reveal a scraped and bleeding knee. She puffed on it and whispered, "Pain, pain, go away."

Cedric crouched down in front of her and glanced at the wound. "Does it hurt?"

"Nope, not at all. I'm very tough!"

Despite what she said, her lips were clearly trembling from the pain. People nearby began to stare at the two of them. "The kid's hurt! She needs to go to a hospital."

"The guy's dressed head-to-toe in designer clothes, and yet he can't even take care of his own child?"

"How could he just leave such a cute little girl behind?"

Irritated, Cedric glared at the crowd and shouted, "Scram!"

His cold glare scared away the onlookers and made them scatter off in a hurry. When he looked down at Luna again, her eyes were filled with tears, seemingly about to cry. He spoke up with a hint of contempt. "What, scared?"

Luna shook her head quickly, her little pigtails swaying along. Cedric then held out his hand. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

Luna reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. His body froze up for a second. He caught the faint scent of milk on Luna, and it was oddly comforting to him.

He had not been living well for the past two years. Whenever the headaches came, he would feel like he was being torn apart. He swallowed subconsciously as he reached out to lift Luna into his arms.
