Chapter 218 Discharged From The Hospital

"You came here so suddenly. Why didn’t you tell me ahead of time?" Mary said, looking at Barry.

"I just got here," he smiled. Barry felt the bitterness dance on his lips and tried to suppress it. "I'll be leaving soon."

"Have you been busy with work recently?" Mary asked sheepishly. "I know I haven’t been to the company in days."

"Don’t worry about it. I’ll just deduct your bonus." Barry joked.

"Hey there! What are you two talking about?"

William walked over, carrying the twins, and came to a stop beside Mary.

"Daddy Barry!" Alick exclaimed. The boy’s eyes sparkled as he wiggled out of William’s embrace and ran to Barry. "I missed you so much!"

"Alick!" Barry spun the kid around, grinning. "I missed you too!"

"Daddy Barry, I want a hug too!" Elissa said, stretching her arms out impatiently.

"Good girl!" Barry picked her up.

His arms now hanging empty by his side, William’s face darkened.

"Daddy Barry, why haven't you visited me recently?" Alick pouted, looking up at him with puppy-dog eyes.

"Well... Yes, I believe it is."

"I'm warning you," Barry snarled. "If Mary gets hurt because of something you did, I'm not letting you go. I haven't given up yet. It certainly seems like Mary is better off with me!"

"I have children with her. How exactly would you compete with me? Don't get too over-confident!" William snapped back. "The kidnapping won't happen again. I'll be able to protect them!"

"Why haven't you two gotten in the car yet?" Mary stuck part of her head out the window and shot them an exasperated look.

"In a minute!" Barry swiftly let go of William's collar.

"We'll be getting in the car now," William said. He forced a gentle smile at her before turning back to Barry. "Mr. Gu, thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome." Barry shrugged. "I heard you would hold a banquet for the 10th anniversary for the AJ Group tomorrow evening. Mary and I want to thank you as well, Mr. Lan, for your own hospitality."

"It's my pleasure." William felt his eyes narrow ever so slightly. With his jaw clenched, he climbed into the car and slammed the door.
