The truth was, Charles knew that his grandfather was not really happy. He was just doing it to make
Charles regret his decision.
His grandfather was blaming him for giving up the TS Group.
In other words, Frederic was taking revenge on him by taking advantage of Joseph.
All his life, Frederic had been arrogant, so Charles could understand him.
However, even after Charles heard that Frederic didn't write a draft for Joseph, he still couldn't help but
worry.
No matter what his grandfather said, he still didn't believe that Joseph could do it by himself.
If it wasn't Grandpa, who else could it be? Was it Derrick?
Did Nancy feel right? Did Derrick wake up?
With this thought, Charles raised his eyebrows. "I'm going to see Derrick."
Then he turned around and was about to walk out when Frederic scolded him, "He is your uncle. How
can you call him by his name?" But Charles didn't even bother to look at his grandfather.
"How can I call someone my uncle when he wants me dead?" His voice was cold, which could make
people shiver.
"You... He's no different from a vegetable now. Charles, what's the point of targeting him like that?" As if
he was tired of all the arguments, Frederic sighed heavily.
Without saying anything more, Charles opened the door and walked out.
Joseph, who had been busy all day, sat on the chair beside Derrick with a complacent expression on
his face.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Nancy is easy to fool, but it's difficult to deal with Charles," Derrick
whispered.
Feeling triumphant, Joseph whistled. "Humph, now I have Grandpa's support, and Charles doesn't dare
to do anything to me."
Like a little kid, Joseph kept singing and laughing to himself.
"Joseph, when will you grow up? Why can't you be more mature? You always disappoint me!" Staring
at his son, Derrick couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
"Well, Dad, stop talking. What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you." As he was already
used to the hurtful words his father said, Joseph ignored it and stood up.
"You'd better get me some liquid food. I don't want to be seen by the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
It will cause unnecessary trouble." Although Derrick had had enough liquid food, he had no choice. He
had to pretend to be unconscious, or else, he would be in a big trouble.
But thinking of the fact that the TS Group had fallen into Joseph's hands, Derrick felt like everything he
had done was worth it.
When Joseph was about to take off the oxygen mask for Derrick, he heard footsteps from outside.
In an instant, he felt nervous, so he hurriedly put back the oxygen mask for Derrick. "Dad, someone is
coming. Keep quiet. If you make a sound, both of us will be over!"
Before pretending to be unconscious again, Derrick replied, "I won't make a sound. Just drive him
away!"
As soon as he finished his words, Charles pushed the door open and walked in.
"Oh, it's my brother." Joseph, who was in a panic, unexpectedly greeted Charles with a smile.
His action immediately annoyed Derrick. How could he have such a stupid son?
Derrick thought, 'Joseph should drive Charles away as soon as possible. Why did he still greet
Charles?'
"Well, I'm here to see uncle!" Charles couldn't call Derrick by his full name here.
At this moment, Joseph finally remembered that he was the president of the TS Group now. How could
he be so humble when he saw Charles? So he straightened his back and said in a tough tone, "Oh,
you still remember your uncle. Your uncle almost died because of you."
"Yes, it's true that uncle almost died because of me." As Charles spoke, he walked to the side of the
bed, and stared at Derrick's ruddy face; which was no longer as pale as before. "Uncle looks good."
"Well, it's hot in the hospital. Of course his face is ruddy. Do you want my father to die?" His voice was
dripping with sarcasm.
"No, if he's dead, it's not good for me at all. I'm waiting for him to wake up, right, uncle?" And then
Charles touched Derrick's face.
The moment he felt Derrick's normal body temperature, he smiled lightly. "Uncle seems to have
regained his consciousness."
Frightened, Joseph almost squatted down. He carefully observed Derrick's face, but fortunately, there
was no sign of waking up.
So Joseph plucked up his courage and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can I not know if my father has
woken up? My father... Why hasn't he woken up yet? It's all your fault, Charles. Don't shed crocodile
tears here. Leave now. I know my father is angry to see you now. Get out of here. Dad, my poor dad,
why did you have to have such a bastard nephew..."
While crying uncontrollably, Joseph pushed Charles away. "You go. You go!"
"Joseph, are you crazy?" Charles looked at Joseph in disbelief. "Derrick is still alive. Why are you
crying?"
"I'm crying... I just want to cry. I won't cry if you leave!" His words were incoherent and illogical. He
didn't look like he was an adult at all, but like a wilful child.
With furrowed brows, Charles nodded. "Okay, I'll go."
Then he turned around and walked out.
After Joseph slammed the door, he let out a long sigh of relief.
To sober himself up, he went to the washroom to wash his face.
When he got back to Derrick's bed, he whispered, "That was close, Dad. How was my acting just
now?"
"You idiot!" As he was wearing an oxygen mask, Joseph couldn't hear his voice at all.
So Joseph reached out for Derrick's oxygen mask, but was stopped by him in a hurry.
Derrick was afraid that he would be over if Charles came back.
It didn't take long for Joseph to realize that he acted exaggeratedly just now. "I'm not a professional
actor. It's understandable that I can't perform well!"
A bitter smile appeared on Derrick's face. He knew that his son was idle, but he didn't realize that he
was this idiot. What did he mean by saying that?
Could a president of TS Group say that?
At that moment, Derrick was frustrated of him again.
But instead of reprimanding Joseph, he simply closed his eyes and kept quiet.
Because Joseph's performance was full of loopholes, Charles stood outside the door for a while to
observe.
The fact that Joseph greeted him like he used to before, and then became hostile after a few seconds,
couldn't be ignored.
The way he spoke a while ago was totally different from the way he spoke in front of the shareholders.
What was wrong with Joseph?
Did...
Charles frowned and clenched his fists. He thought it was time to test Derrick.
It would not do him any good if it was delayed for a long time.
If Derrick didn't want to wake up, he had to find a way to wake him up.
