870: Ella, Flint and the Third Wheel

Ella, Flint and the Third Wheel

Ella was inside Liam's ward when she noticed that Liam shed some tears. Her heart was aching seeing his current situation. She extended her hand to reach out for his face. She wiped the tears falling from the corners of his eyes.2

"Liam… why are you crying? Don't be sad. I am here with you. When are you going to wake up?" Ella softly mumbled, caressing his cheeks using her small hand. She even used her handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

"We missed you so much, Bro Liam. You have to get up soon and play with my nephew and niece. They are growing so fast." Ella was visiting Liam regularly, updating him about the happenings around them. She thought Liam would be glad to hear these things.

The young girl became more attached to Liam. Ever since the beginning, she had a crush on him. When he took care of her and her mother, her admiration for Liam intensified. He was a good man.

"How long will it take before you wake up? But don't worry I will keep visiting you every day so that you will not get bored here."

Ella was still talking to Liam when the door of the ward slid open. Another small figure entered the room. It was Flint.

For the past few days, the young boy had been observing Ella. He was always accompanying his Uncle in the Fiery Eagles Headquarters for him to see Ella.

Ella has captured the young boy's heart ever since they first met. But she had no idea about it.

At this moment, Flint finally took the courage to enter the ward and accompanied Ella. He wanted to engage in a friendly conversation with her. He saw how sad she was while watching Liam. He would like to comfort her in some way.

"Don't be sad. Uncle Dos will do his best to treat him. He is the best doctor-scientist that I know. He is capable," Flint said, tapping Ella's small shoulder.

Ella didn't notice his presence not until he spoke and touched her.

"Flint! You are here," She mumbled with a surprised expression.

Flint flashed his charming smile before nodding his head. "I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you? Do you want to be alone?"

"No. I'm fine. I'm just surprised that you are here."

"Because this is my second home!" Flint responded promptly, making Ella giggle.

"You are not supposed to be here. Only members of the Fiery Eagles should stay here." Ella wanted to tease the young boy.

"I will be a member of Fiery Eagles. I will serve the Davis Family, including you!" The young charming boy was very frank with his words. His eyes were sparkling while talking to her. He definitely liked Ella, that's why he was very happy to talk to her.

"I heard that the training is so hard. Do you think you can pass the exam and become a certified member of this secret group?" Ella asked him inquisitively.

"Of course, I will! Just wait. I will prove it to you once I grow up!" Flint said with too much conviction.

Ella let out another soft giggle. She found him very amusing as he was very confident with himself. She tapped Flint's shoulder, making the boy's cheek redden.

"Good luck, Flint. I wish you all the best!"

The young boy smiled broadly. He was so happy because of Ella's cheering. The two little kids were still talking when Zhen-Zhen arrived while carrying Little Cassie. She went there to visit her friend, Liam.

Ella immediately ran in Zhen-Zhen's direction, greeting the mother and daughter duo. Flint, on the other hand, froze in his spot upon seeing the two. He suddenly felt uneasy as Little Cassie was gazing at him.

'Eh, this baby girl… why is she looking at me like that?' Flint thought to himself, scratching his face. Little Cassie's blue eyes were still fixed on Flint's face. His heart jumped the moment her lips curled up into a charming smile.

Flint blinked several times, still mesmerized by Little Cassie's smile. He looked away as he was not able to stare longer into her blue eyes.

"Big Sis, are you also here to check Bro Liam's condition?" Ella's voice helped Flint relax a little. Little Cassie already moved her gaze from Flint to Ella.

"Yes, I want to monitor his health," Zhen-Zhen said, smiling tenderly at her. She also glanced at Flint, greeting him.

"Okay, Big Sis. Flint and I will just go outside to give you privacy." Ella said, motioning Flint to follow her. The young boy nodded his head in agreement.

The two of them were about to leave when Little Cassie suddenly extended her little hands towards Ella. She seemed like she wanted to join them, asking Ella to carry her.

Flint and Ella exchanged glances with one another, a puzzled expression flashed on their faces. Zhen-Zhen was also wondering why Little Cassie wanted to go with Ella and Flint. 

'Does she want to play with them?' Zhen-Zhen pondered to herself while observing her daughter's expression.

She was still contemplating whether she would let Cassie join the two young kids. But Little Cassie already flashed her cute and charming pleading look. Zhen-Zhen could no longer refuse her.

"Ella, Flint… I think Little Cassie wants to play with both of you. Are you both okay to watch over her while I'm here with Liam?" Zhen-Zhen consulted them first.

"Sure, Big Sis!" Ella promptly said, moving closer to her.

Flint could only smile awkwardly. He didn't know if this would be a great idea to take care of this baby. If he was to choose, he just wanted to spend time alone with Ella. But now, they had a third wheel– Little Cassie!

Zhen-Zhen already talked to Miho through their mind link. She asked her to watch over the three kids secretly as they played. This was also a precautionary measure just in case Little Cassie would suddenly use her power while playing with Ella and Flint.

It did not take long when Zhen-Zhen handed Little Cassie over to Ella.

"Little Cassie, Behave," Zhen-Zhen said to her daughter meaningfully. She warned her not to use her power. The young girl just giggled cheerfully as if she understood her mother's words.
