The apartment was about the same size as the one offered by the municipal hospital, but this was fully
furnished. As soon as she opened the wardrobe to put her clothes in, she was surprised. How could
she not be, when there were so many colorful clothes already hanging in it?
At a glance, she knew that it was her size. Rick must have prepared them for her before she even
came here.
This only made her more embarrassed. She knew that Rick treated her differently, but she didn't know
how to refuse.
Maybe one of these days, she should really have to talk to him about it.
She was already a mother to two lovely kids, and besides, her priority now was her career. She had no
time to think about personal affairs.
Meanwhile, Charles had been uneasy all day long, knowing that Nancy and Rick were together. From
time to time, he would call Hiram to ask for updates about Nancy.
When he heard that Nancy and Rick were in the same room, Charles suddenly stood up and kicked the
chair. "Damn it, Hiram! Whatever it takes, you have to check on them. You can't let anything happen
between Nancy and Rick. If anything happens, you will wait and see."
Hiram was very upset, but he had no choice. After ending the call, he knocked on Nancy's door and
quickly ran to hide. He only felt relieved when he saw Rick leave the room.
Then, he reported this to Charles immediately.
Even so, Charles was still restless. He ordered Hiram to keep an eye on Nancy at night, just in case
Rick would come back.
Although Hiram felt helpless, he had no choice but to agree.
In the afternoon, Charles picked up the kids from the kindergarten.
Both Nadia and Bobby had a cold look on their face when they got in the car, and none of them talked
to Charles.
They ignored him, as if he didn't exist.
"What's going on, you two?" Charles couldn't take it anymore.
"Daddy, what's going on between you and Mommy?" Bobby asked angrily.
"Your great-grandpa was upset, so he asked your mommy to leave." The hardest part was explaining
things to the children.
"What does it have anything to do with Great-grandpa?" Confusion was written all over Nadia's little
face.
"Because he is my grandpa. He loves me very much, and I love him just the same." There wouldn't be
so much worry and concerns if Frederic was not sick, but he was, so Charles found it difficult to go
against him.
"Doesn't you love Mommy?" Like Nadia, Bobby was confused too. What did their great-grandfather's
opinion have to do with their parents' relationship?
"Of course, I do."
There was never a time that he stopped loving Nancy. What he felt for her was irrevocable.
"Dad, I get it now. It must be Great-grandpa, right? He doesn't want you to be with Mommy, does he?"
Bobby asked.
Not knowing what to say, Charles only sighed.
After thinking for a while, Bobby thought of an idea. "Daddy, I want to see Great-grandpa now. Can you
take us to the hospital?"
"Okay." It was not hard to guess what the boy was going to do. He would try to please Frederic and
then ask him to let Nancy come back.
However, Charles knew that it wouldn't be that easy. After all, Frederic was too angry to listen to
anyone. And even if he agreed, Nancy still wouldn't come back.
But he had to try everything. How could he know it wouldn't work if he didn't try?
Therefore, Charles drove the children to the hospital, with a glimpse of hope that his grandfather would
listen to the children.
Ever since Derrick was taken away, Frederic had been in a bad mood every day.
"What should we do about it? How should we save Derrick?" Frederick sighed.
"Dad, please listen to me. Whether you like it or not, Derrick deserves it. The police wouldn't take him if
he didn't do anything wrong. Why did you defend him and drive Nancy away? What about the
children?" Angelina couldn't help but worry about the children. Finding a woman for Charles was easy,
but no woman could love the children better than Nancy did.
After all, they were her flesh and blood.
Before Frederic could respond, Hardy was angered and yelled, "Shut up! You don't have a say on this!"
"Then what do you think we should do now that Nancy has left and the children have lost their
mother?" Angelina stomped her feet in anger.
"Well, stop arguing. Are you all blaming me? Do you all want me to die?" Pointing his finger at them,
Frederic kept scolding.
What he only wanted was for Nancy to let go of the case, but she just refuse to do so and went against
Fu family.
Seeing his red face, Angelina and Hardy were too scared to say a word.
Charles walked in together with the children.
"You came at the right time. I'm going out for a walk. You take care of your grandpa." Angelina had
been staying at the hospital for quite a while now. She had proposed to go home several times, but
Hardy didn't agree. He was afraid that if they went home, they wouldn't be able to come to the hospital
in time in case something bad happened to Frederic.
Now that Charles was here, Angelina had an excuse to leave for the meantime.
As soon as Frederic saw the children, his face softened a little. "You are here, Bobby, Nadia."
"Hello, Great-grandpa," Bobby and Nadia greeted at the same time, but they didn't approach Frederic
like they usually did before.
"What's wrong with you?" Confused, Frederic looked at them back and forth.
"Great-grandpa, we miss Mommy." Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes the moment she spoke.
"Hey, that woman is not good. Don't miss her." Frederic waved his hand. "I will ask your father to find a
good woman to be your mother some other day."
"Grandpa, do you think it's that easy to replace Nancy in their hearts?" No matter how much he
wanted, Charles couldn't show any rudeness towards his grandfather.
"Then what should we do? Are you going to take Nancy back and piss me off? That woman is not filial
at all. She doesn't listen to me. Even you wouldn't dare to disobey me, but she didn't listen to me. Why
do you want to be with her? Humph!" The more they talked about Nancy, the angrier Frederic became.
"But Great-grandpa, if what you said was right, why wouldn't Mommy listen to you?" Wiping her tears
away, Nadia looked at him.
"Your mommy is unreasonable!" Frederic snorted.
"Great-grandpa, it doesn't matter if you don't like our mommy. We love her. Daddy loves her too. Let
her come back, okay?" Bobby pleaded.
"It doesn't work even if you beg me. If you want her, just go find her. I won't stop you." The children had
always been Frederic's weakness. They were more important than his own life. But now, he shouted at
them because of his anger towards Nancy.
"Charles, I think you'd better take the children home first. Nancy is really wrong for pursuing that case.
Even if you want to take her back, you should wait until your grandpa cools down." Helpless, Hardy
shook his head.
"We won't leave unless Great-grandpa let Mommy come back." After finishing his words, Bobby sat on
the sofa, looking determined to stay.
