Chapter 58 -67: Do We Need to Take Responsibility (12)
After a while, he shyly started speaking, “Father, today at the hospital, when Aunt Isabel was holding me while I got my injection, I accidentally touched her chest.”
Percy Stanton’s complexion darkened instantly.
An unfathomable emotion started stirring in his heart.
Raymond Thompson, oblivious, continued, “Father, you said that a woman’s chest should not be touched lightly. Despite my inadvertent contact, the fact remains that I did touch Sister Isabel’s chest.”
“Um…” Raymond swallowed, his face reddened like an apple as he said, “Father, should I go to Sister Isabel and take responsibility for this?”
Percy’s face, already looking ill, bore the end of his patience. Just as he was about to respond to Raymond, his son’s voice came again, “Father, I actually wouldn’t mind taking responsibility for Sister Isabel.”

Percy abruptly closed his mouth, didn’t give his son a glance and turned away.
After leaving the room, he still felt a knot in his heart. He walked back, locked Raymond’s bedroom door from the outside, then, with key in hand, went straight to the living room.
Percy sat on the sofa facing a pile of documents. Unable to focus, he finally tossed them onto the sofa, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket, as if to calm his nerves. But remembering Raymond was a child, who couldn’t stand the smell of tobacco, he threw the cigarette and the matchbox aside on a small table by the window. He stood there, staring outside and taking a deep breath. Despite this, Percy still felt restless.
It felt like there was a flame moving wildly around inside his body, with no outlet.
If it were any other man, he could handle his jealousy, annoyance, and other plots against Isabel Smith in other ways.
But now, it’s his son. What could he do?
He knew his jealousy was childish. But he couldn’t control himself around Isabel.
He felt a strong desire to possess her, to make her his own, to shield her from the gaze of all men, even from a little boy like Raymond!
As Percy thought, a heavy sense of oppression welled up in his heart. This feeling was just like five years ago when Raymond suddenly appeared in his life. With no mother to nurse him nor soothe his cries, Raymond would often wake up in the middle of the night crying. Various caretakers were unable to handle him. This led to sleepless nights, until Percy finally couldn’t stand it and took it upon himself to comfort the baby.
He felt the same oppressive discomfort then, as his life rhythm was completely disrupted by an unexpected baby.
What enraged him even more was that he didn’t know who the mother of this child was.
He alone had to change the baby’s diapers, bathe him, talk to him, help him to learn to walk and talk, and take him to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Women are naturally motherly. Perhaps single-handedly raising a child is tiring, but not particularly difficult.
However, a grown man raising a child is really not an easy task.
At times, he felt like throwing caution to the wind and finding a woman, just for the sake of Raymond, to become a mother to him and help him care for Raymond.
Yet, every time such a thought crossed his mind, it wouldn’t be a second before the image of Isabel Smith popped into his mind and the idea seemed to dissipate into thin air.
Only now does he realize that it really is like this.
