Unfortunately, although Joey was a kid, he was more mature and intelligent than his peers.

What Carson told him did not frighten him

-not even an ounce.

“Hey, look up,” Joey urged.

Carson raised an eyebrow and looked at the ceiling.

Before he could see what Joey wanted him to look at on the ceiling, he heard the child’s voice, sounding like he was talking to a fool.

“A surveillance camera is over your head,” Joey said.

“You know, there’s a camera every one hundred meters all over the hospital, and it’s connected to the public security monitoring system.”

Carson tilted his head down to look at him and heard Joey say, “The news you referred to is from more than ten years ago, am I right?”

Carson was dead silent.

“You should read the latest news.

But then again, I can understand why you don’t since you’re busy.” Joey didn’t mention a word about what had happened to the Sullivan Group, but he urged Carson once more.

“I’m safe.

You can go back to your work!”

After saying that, Joey turned on his heels and took a step forward.

But with one hand tucked in his pocket, Carson stayed where he stood, not fazed by the walking child.

He cracked a smile and uttered, “I thought you were so heartless that you didn’t care for your father at all.”

Joey stopped and looked over his shoulder and at Carson.

His tone as he denied Carson’s observation wavered, signaling that even he wasn’t sure about his answer.

“I don’t care about him.

“If you didn’t, then why would you waste your time keeping an eye on the Sullivan Group?” Carson asked sharply.

Joey’s lips pursed into a thin line and he frowned.

“I saw the news on TV and changed the channel as soon as I read the headlines.

I don’t care!”

“Alright.

If you say so…” Carson took a calculated step forward and looked at the time his watch read.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re here to have your arm checked.

Yes?”

Joey kept his mouth shut, relaying that he wanted to end his conversation with Carson.

“Well, your father is also having a check-up here.

Do you want to see him?”

“No.”

Carson looked into Joey’s eyes and didn’t say anything.

To him, no matter how cunning Joey was, a kid would always be a kid.

Joey felt uneasy under Carson’s gaze, but he stood on his ground.

He looked away and said, “I said I wouldn’t go.

I have to end our talk now, or Mommy will start worrying about me.”

Carson stretched out his arm to prevent Joey from escaping him.
