Chapter 176 The Grandparents (Part One)

Although the little boy's head was covered with thick gauze, the frown on his face was exactly the same as that on William's face.

The old couple stared at Alick intently, clearly dumbfounded.

"Is he... William's son?" Amy covered her mouth in disbelief. It wasn't long until her eyes were already brimming with tears.

Timothy, who was still staring at Alick in confusion, said nothing.

"Alick!" As soon as she turned around, Elissa saw her brother and jumped back to the wheelchair.

"Elissa! Come back!" Mary rushed over to follow them, visibly upset with Elissa. "We are at a hospital! What if you ran into a fragile patient? Elissa, I swear to God, if you don't behave yourself—"

"Mary? Is that you?"

Someone suddenly said, interrupting Mary's planned disciplinary litany for Elissa. Mary's eyes widened in shock and confusion. Immediately, she followed the source of the voice and found out that it was an old couple not far away from where they were.

"Father... Father? Aunt... Aunt Amy?"

"Mary! It's really you!" Amy rushed to Mary at once, tears already in her eyes. When she was in front of her, she immediately cupped Mary's delicate face in her hands and said, "Where have you been all these years? Mary, we've looked for you everywhere!"

"Aunt Amy..." Mary choked with sobs.

"Silly girl! Not even a letter!" The two wrapped their arms around each other tightly as they cried their eyes out.

Timothy then came forward, his eyes also full

William over the past few years either. You know, these two men are annoyingly stubborn. Neither of them wants to take the first step and call the other."

"I see." Mary nodded silently.

"What does the future hold for you, Mary? Do you see yourself being with William again?" Amy asked.

"No, I don't!" Mary shook her head vigorously. "He..." She paused, and then sighed. "Aunt Amy, you know William. He could never be with a woman for a long time. And besides, I have a boyfriend now."

"Oh, I see." The expression on Amy's face quickly soured.

"Mr. Lan!" a doctor from the hospital cheerily greeted as he entered the room. "All equipment for your examination has been prepared. It's time for your physical examination."

"I'm sorry, but I just met my lovely grandchildren. I've never felt more okay in my entire life! I'm not going anywhere!" Timothy waved his hand signaling his refusal to be examined.

"Well..." the doctor contemplated, chuckling a bit in the process.

"You old man," said Amy, smiling. "Stop with all that. You need to have that examination and to be seen by doctors. It's a necessary step for you so that you'll get to see these children grow up."

"That's right, Father." Mary also persuaded him. "Alick and Elissa will be here waiting for you, so don't worry. Besides, I doubt that it would take long."

Timothy thought for a while. Ultimately, he said, "Okay, fine. I'll do it."

"Alick and Elissa, say bye to Grandpa for now."
