Mindy Wu coughed and changed the topic. She said, "My classmate from high school made an appointment with me. I will meet her for a while upstairs. It won't take a lot of time." Fade Chen nodded and said, "Sister Mindy, don't worry. I'll take care of Fish."

The little girl quickly waved her hand and said, "Mom, go ahead. I like to play with Brother Superman."

Mindy looked at her excited daughter and couldn't help but smile. She nodded to Fade, then got up and left.

Only Fish and Fade were left. Fade said to the little girl, "Fish, what are we going to do next?"

"How about getting lunch?" Fade looked at the restaurants around the mall and was ready to make a choice.

However, the little girl was not in the mood to eat at the moment. She turned her eyes to a playground which was not far away."Brother Superman, let's go there and play, okay?" she asked.

Fade looked at the direction of the

playground. It was a place built for children to play in the shopping mall. There was a small inflatable house, a slide, balloons, building blocks, cartoon sculptures, and many other things. Many children were also playing inside.

Fish didn't have much contact with other children because of her family background. That was why she was envious when she saw the other kids having fun there.

Seeing this, Fade did not decline her request. He nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go and play."

"Hooray! Brother Superman, you are the kindest person! I really like you," The little girl said. She leaped into Fade's arms in excitement and kissed him on the cheek.

Although Fade was only in his early twenties and had no experience of being a parent, he suddenly felt like he was a parent. He felt the sense of closeness between parents and their children when this little girl showed her love for him.

So, Fade held Fish's hand and came to the playground in joy.

After asking, Fade found out that it was a public area of the shopping mall, so they didn't need to buy tickets. Then, he took off Fish's shoes and said with a smile, "Go and have fun."

The little girl immediately giggled and ran into the playground.

As soon as she entered the playground, Fish became very excited. She was having fun on the slide and the inflatable bed. She even chatted with some of the children around her and then played with them. The other children's parents saw a beautiful girl like Fish and immediately liked her very much. They couldn't help but come over to Fade.

"Is she your daughter? She's so beautiful!"

"Young man, you look less than 30 years old. How is your daughter already so grown up?"

"Sir, may I ask where you bought this dress for your daughter? I want to buy one for my daughter as well."

With everyone's questions, Fade could only explain with a smile that he was not her father. He was just a friend of the child's mother and he was helping her take care of the child.

Fade and the other parents were chatting while looking at the direction where Fish was. Seeing her jumping into the pool full of balls and playing happily, they chuckled constantly. Fade couldn't help but smile.

As the parents continued their conversation, they suddenly heard a loud cry from a child.

After they heard the cry, they heard a man yelling," What are you doing? Why did you hit Jaeden?"

The man's voice immediately scared the children and many children burst into tears. The parents heard their cries and turned their heads to look.

At this time, the man yelled again. "Why are you still standing there? Don't you know how to come and apologize!"

After this roar, the sound of crying from the children became louder.

At this moment, Fade saw that Fish was the girl who was being yelled at by the man. The little girl was obviously frightened. Looking at the man in the suit in front of her, she lowered her head and her eyes were red. She was about to cry.

"You shouldn't be crying. You hit my boy and now you are still pretending to be innocent!" The man shouted again and his tone became even more fierce.

Fish suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and she burst into tears. She kept wiping her tears with her small hands. She looked pitiful indeed.

Fade was immediately angry and distressed. He rushed over and held Fish in his arms. He comforted her softly, "Fish, don't cry, don't cry. Brother Superman is here."

Then, Fade looked up at the man who was shouting.

The man was dressed in a suit and he wore a pair of leather shoes. He was about 30 years old. His hair was smooth and shiny and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Judging from his appearance, his family background was wealthy. Next to the man was a boy who was about four or five years old. He was clutching his head with his hands while glaring at Fish.

As Fade gazed at him, the man also scrutinized him and sized up his appearance. Then, the man snorted and said, "You are her parent, right? Can you be well-educated and well-mannered if you do not know how to teach your kid?"

Hearing this, Fade could not help but frown and glanced at the man. However, he did not lose his temper, but asked in a deep voice, "Sir, what happened? Let's talk about this calmly. Don't shout in front of the kids."

"Talk about this calmly? My boy was hit by her. Look at how badly he was injured. How can I talk to you calmly?" The man roared angrily. He glared at Fish and said, "Your child hit other kids with the balls. She hit Jaeden's head."

Hearing this, Fade couldn't help but frown. At this time, Fish sobbed and shook her head, saying, "I... I didn't hit anyone. I... I was just throwing the balls for fun."

The man shouted loudly when he heard what Fish said. "What do you mean by the phrase 'throwing the balls for fun'? Do you know that a child's brain is still in development and it's very vulnerable? If there is something wrong with my boy, can you be responsible for it?"

Fade bent down to grab a small plastic ball and pinched it slightly. He couldn't help but frown. Then, he looked at the boy and said unhappily, "The ball is soft, plus a child doesn't have much strength. It won't hurt much despite being hit. Furthermore, he looks totally fine, so you don't have to yell at a child like that."

The man got angry when he heard this. He pointed his finger at Fade and shouted, "What are you trying to say? What do you mean when you say my son is not injured? Does that mean my boy has to be bleeding severely from his head to be considered as injured?"

Fade held back his anger and explained in a deep voice, "I'm a doctor. I can tell that your child is not injured. I—" "How can I trust that you're a doctor? Also, how can I trust you if you say my boy is unharmed?" The man yelled. Fade was a little impatient. His face fell and he shouted coldly, "So what do you want?"
