At this moment, Derrick couldn't help but swallow hard.
But he knew he couldn't open his eyes. No matter how the kids tried, he couldn't move.
With curious eyes, Nadia stared at Derrick on the bed. "Grandpa Derrick is so strange. He is hungry.
Why hasn't he opened his eyes?"
Before he spoke, Joseph put the last bite of bun in his mouth. "Because Grandpa Derrick is still in a
coma and can't smell the aroma of the bun. If Grandpa Derrick smelled it, he would definitely sit up and
eat it. Thank you for your kindness. Can you go home now?"
"No, we still want to talk with Grandpa Derrick." Instead of obeying him, Bobby climbed up on Derrick's
bed.
"Hey, Bobby, what are you doing?" Joseph reached out to grab Bobby's arm.
In a hurry, Nadia held his leg to stop him. "Uncle, there is oil in your hands. Don't grab Bobby's clothes.
They are new. You can't make them dirty. Mommy is very busy and has no time to wash them."
When he felt Nadia's tight grip on his trousers, Joseph looked down. Her oily little hands stained his
trousers, which displeased him. "Nadia, my clothes are also new. Look, did you get my clothes dirty
with your little hands?"
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Uncle, let's wash our hands together." And then Nadia grabbed his arm and
dragged him to the washroom.
"Okay, wash hands." Although Joseph was short-tempered, he had been playing with the kids these
days, so he had grown attached to them.
Therefore, he was wary of Charles, but he wasn't wary of the kids.
The kids were too young. It was impossible for them to make any big trouble.
However, after Joseph and Nadia went to the washroom, Bobby threw the bun away and tickled
Derrick's armpit.
That spot was very sensitive for almost everyone.
In other words, no one could endure it.
At first, Derrick tried hard to endure it, hoping that Joseph would come out to save him.
Five minutes had already passed, but Joseph still didn't come out.
In the washroom, Nadia kept bugging Joseph to prevent him from going out.
While rubbing her hands, Nadia asked, "Uncle, do you have any soap?"
Joseph hurried to bring the soap to Nadia.
But Nadia only looked at the soap and didn't take it. "Uncle, it's the soap for adults, not for children. I
want that kind of soap for children."
After thinking for a while, Joseph said helplessly, "Hey, Nadia. We are in the hospital, not at home. Just
use that for now, okay?"
Shaking her head, Nadia continued to refuse. "Uncle, Mommy said that the soap adults use has
bacteria. And, look, this soap is not clean at first glance. I don't want such soap."
"Okay, you can wash your hands with clear water for now, and then wash your hands with kids' soap
once you get home. That's it!" said Joseph.
"No... Uncle, my hands are so sticky and oily. I must wash them thoroughly."
The truth was, Charles told Nadia to stay in the washroom for a little longer so that Bobby could
complete his task yet.
It was not easy for her to get her hands greasy.
Feeling anxious, Joseph couldn't help but scratch his head. When did Nadia become so troublesome?
"How about you use washing powder?" And then he put the soap and washing powder on the basin.
With a sad face, Nadia shook her head.
"Nadia, are you doing this on purpose?" At that moment, Joseph was beginning to get annoyed.
Nadia shook her head again.
"Humph, you're such a naughty girl. If you don't wash your hands, I won't care about you. Just stay
here. I'm leaving." Then Joseph turned around and walked out.
But Nadia grabbed his hand again. "Uncle, don't go. Nadia's hands are so dirty."
Out of frustration, Joseph shouted, "It's just a little greasy. It's not dirty, okay?"
But his hands were greasy now and he felt very uncomfortable.
So he turned back to wash his hands again.
"Nadia wants to wash hands too. Uncle, wash my hands for me." Her squeal was painful to Joseph's
ears.
"Okay, I'll wash them for you." As his patience was almost worn out, Joseph grabbed her hand and
rubbed the soap on it.
"Wow, it's dirty. Uncle is bad. You gave me bad soap. I'm so sad." All of a sudden, Nadia burst into
tears.
This time, he completely lost his temper. He remembered Nadia didn't like to cry much. What was
wrong with her today? "Hey, little girl, I just washed your hands for you. Why are you crying?"
Why did the tears come so soon?
Why was she so sentimental?
"Uncle, I want to use the soap for children. There are some bacteria in the soap for adults. It's so
terrible." To dodge it, Nadia purposely pulled her hand away.
At this moment, Joseph just wanted to leave here. He quickly washed her hands and wiped them with a
towel. "Well, it's clean. Don't cry."
"Humph, I'm going to tell Great Grandpa that Uncle Joseph bullied me..." To buy more time for his
brother, Nadia punched and kicked Joseph.
The moment she mentioned Frederic, Joseph immediately became nervous. "Good girl, Nadia, don't
cry. I'll buy you delicious food and funny toys some other day. You can have anything you want, okay?"
The more he spoke, the louder Nadia cried.
"Bad Uncle, I don't want delicious food or toys. My hands are so dirty, so dirty..." Her voice was so loud
that Joseph had to cover his ears.
"They are not dirty. Look at them. So clean! It also smells good." After a few seconds, Joseph put
Nadia's hand to his mouth and kissed it hard. "It smells good, very fragrant..."
But no words could pacify her. "No. Nadia wants to wash hands..."
When he was about to say something, Joseph heard a burst of laughter from outside.
"Hahaha..."
"Nadia... You..." His eyes widened when he recognized Derrick's laughter.
His initial reaction was that he was fooled by Nadia and Bobby again, so he ran out of the washroom in
a hurry.
Sitting next to Derrick, Bobby tickled his armpits with his two small hands. "Grandpa Derrick, wake up
soon. Let's eat steamed buns together."
Finally, Derrick gave in and started laughing. He really wanted to sit up, but unfortunately, his body was
wrapped by various tubes and he could not get up at all.
At this sight, Joseph couldn't help but scold Bobby, "Bobby, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, come and have a look. Grandpa Derrick has woken up. I'm going to tell everyone the good
news. That's great!" As he was very excited, Bobby jumped off the bed, took Nadia's hand and ran out.
While running, he shouted, "Great Grandpa, Grandpa Derrick is awake. He is really awake."
