The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 424

From his perspective, Vivica’s room was dark, illuminated only by the faint glow of the phone on her face. When Chaim’s head suddenly appeared from behind her shoulder, his first thought was that he was witnessing something supernatural.

Fortunately, his son’s voice quickly followed, and Joseph burst into laughter, amused by both the initial shock and Vivica’s terrified reaction.

Seeing how startled his mother was, Chaim started giggling too.

“You little rascal, you think this is funny? I almost fell off the bed.”

Joseph asked from the phone, “Chaim, weren’t you asleep?”

Now that her son was awake, Vivica sat up against the headboard. Chaim immediately crawled into her lap, pressing his little face close to the screen.

“Daddy, I was sleeping! But then I heard your voice and thought I was dreaming, and I wanted to ask you to play with me.”

Vivica asked gently, “And you woke up while you were looking for Daddy?”

“Uh-huh!” The little boy nodded with great seriousness. “I opened my eyes to find you, but instead, I found Mommy secretly video-calling you behind my back.”

“What do you mean, ‘secretly’ and ‘behind my back’?” Vivica feigned indignation at her son’s choice of words.

Chaim just giggled in response.

Joseph had been exhausted from a long day of work, but watching his wife and son laughing together made all his fatigue melt away.

“It’s getting late, so I’m going to get him back to sleep. You should get some rest as soon as you get to the hotel. We can talk about everything else when you get back,” Vivica said, reluctantly preparing to end the call. She worried Chaim would get too excited and have trouble falling back asleep.

Joseph didn’t want to hang up either, but he knew his son’s health was more important, so he agreed.

“Alright, you two get some rest. Thank you for holding down the fort these past few days.”
