Soon, Nancy walked out of the house with the children behind her. When they reached the courtyard,
she looked at them and said, "Listen to me, both of you. Be obedient to your kindergarten teacher,
okay? Try not to upset her."
"Okay, Mommy," Nadia obediently replied. However, she gave Bobby a mischievous look.
At that moment, Bobby felt depressed. Several men broke into their house earlier. However, his father
didn't throw them out.
Deep inside, Bobby promised to never let anyone in his house in the future.
Holding her bag, Nancy walked on the street. Meanwhile, Charles and the children were in the car. He
drove slowly while following Nancy.
"Hey, Nancy! I'm here."
Suddenly, someone called her. Nancy turned her head and noticed Rick standing in front of a car. He
was staring at her.
Immediately, Charles stepped on the brakes.
"Why are you here, Rick?" Charles asked.
"I'm just here to fetch my employee. Do you have a problem with that, Mr. Fu?" Rick answered with a
smug look.
"I don't like it! Nancy, don't you dare get in his car!" Furious, Charles wanted to get out of his car.
"Charles, I am currently employed at Rick's hospital. Since he is my boss, it's convenient that I ride with
him to work. Kids, take care!" Then, Nancy turned around and got in the passenger seat of Rick's car.
Nancy did that because she noticed Frederic's men in a vehicle not far away from them. They closely
monitored her and her family.
Charles also noticed them, so he stayed in the car and dropped the issue.
Finally, Rick drove his car away with Nancy.
A heavy sigh escaped Bobby's breath. "Daddy, I'm scared! I feel like Mommy's going to leave you!"
"No! She won't!" Charles said in a confident voice.
"But Uncle Rick took Mommy away!" Nadia complained as she stared at Rick's car.
"Don't worry. They won't be together," Charles replied in a low tone.
Suddenly, Charles's phone rang. It was a call from Joseph. When Charles answered the call, Joseph
said, "Daisy and I are going to get married the day after tomorrow. Please come, and don't forget to
bring Nancy with you."
"You want me to come to your wedding with Nancy? Do you think that will happen?" Charles sneered
as he let out a heavy sigh.
With his grandfather watching him, there was no way Charles would be together with Nancy.
"Well, will you come alone?" Joseph helplessly asked.
"Yes," Charles answered. "Have you visited your father? Is he okay?"
"I still haven't visited him." Joseph suddenly became fretful. "I'll go to him later and tell him that I'm
marrying Daisy. Anyway, I don't think he can come to the event."
"No matter whether he can come or not, we should still inform him," Charles reminded him.
"Okay, sure. I'll send an invitation to Nancy. Daisy and I would like to see her at our wedding," Joseph
said after some thought.
"Sure," Charles dismissively replied.
Then, he stepped on the gas and drove towards the kindergarten.
Meanwhile, Joseph returned his phone to his pocket. Then, he headed towards the police station.
Even since he was apprehended, Derrick had been pretending to be insane. However, no one paid him
any attention. They simply gave him three meals a day. He had no choice but to eat the meals.
Otherwise, he'd starve.
No matter how he made a fuss, no one paid him any attention.
After some time, Derrick no longer made trouble. He just viciously looked at his visitors instead.
However, his actions remained futile. He couldn't vent his anger. Slowly, he was truly becoming insane.
As time went by, he gradually calmed down. In the hospital, Derrick had tormented his doctors and
nurses. However, in prison, there was no one to torture. His sadistic tendencies were itching.
Finally, he was at his wit's end. He stood up and pounded at the door. In a frantic tone, he shouted,
"You can let me rot here but at least give me my phone!"
However, only eerie silence answered his cries.
Derrick then leaned closer to the door and shouted, "Joseph! Have you no heart? Why do you leave
me alone? I'm your father! How about you, Dad? Are you going to let me rot here? I am your son! Why
are you ignoring me?"
He spoke to himself every day as if he went insane.
Suddenly, a jailer came to Derrick's cell and said, "You have a visitor!"
Derrick quickly got to his feet and asked, "Is it my father? Is he going to bail me out?"
"No, it's not." The guard opened the door. "It's your son."
"Oh, Joseph! Wonderful! I've always believed that he is kinder than my father. My father must have
forgotten me now," Derrick casually said as he finally had someone to talk with.
When the two met each other, Joseph didn't say anything to Derrick.
"Joseph, I am your father. You still remember me, don't you?" Derrick slowly asked with a sad
expression.
"Why would I visit you if I don't know who you are?" Joseph answered in a dreary tone.
"Well, you are truly my child. So for now, go to your grandfather and tell him to save me! This place is
more depressing than the hospital. I want to leave as soon as possible. Don't forget that Nancy is a
heinous person. She wants me to die!" Derrick announced in a grouchy tone.
"Why would Nancy want you to die?" Joseph indifferently asked as his face remained expressionless.
"Well, how would I know? That woman is crazy. Anyway, just help me get out of here, okay?" Derrick
impatiently replied.
"I didn't come here to save you. But since I am going to remarry Daisy, I thought you should know.
Moreover, she's pregnant. The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, and you..."
Before Joseph finished his declaration, Derrick interjected, "Your wedding doesn't interest me, Joseph.
All I want is to get out of this place! Do you want your father to rot here? You are a disobedient son!"
Derrick snarled with an angry expression.
Since his father didn't care about him, Derrick's only chance rested on Joseph. Unfortunately, Joseph
didn't come to bail him out.
'What is he doing here? Does he believe that I am enjoying my time here? I suffer every day!'
Joseph revealed a helpless smile. "Maybe you should start repenting. Don't think about who to blame.
Instead, confess the truth and cooperate with the police. If you tell them everything, they might give you
leniency."
"Get out of here! I did nothing wrong! How dare you lecture me? Joseph, you are no longer my son.
Don't show yourself to me ever again!" Derrick growled in disappointment.
Deep inside, Derrick was afraid of what might happen if he admitted his wrongdoings. He was so sinful
that a confession would surely put him on death row.
When he noticed that he couldn't convince Derrick, Joseph decided to drop the issue. In the end, a
person's character would decide his fate.
Derrick was too stubborn and proud to listen to other people's suggestions. He blindly believed that
everything he did was right.
Sometimes, Derrick thought that he and Frederic were alike. However, Derrick was not as cunning as
Frederic.
Moreover, Frederic had always followed the law. Meanwhile, Derrick had no problem in doing illegal
activities. Derrick believed that Frederic could always protect him from anything. However, all of
Frederic's influence and wealth had no chance of beating the law.
