Chapter 272 Taking Back The Children

"Mary... Mary..."

In his sleep, William frowned and murmured to himself. As he called Mary's name, he suddenly became excited, and he clutched his hands into fists.

"Ugh." Sitting at the edge of the bed, Lucas sighed silently and decided to pack his things up.

"Mary!" All of a sudden, a loud scream came from William. He jolted awake as he screamed her name.

"You're awake." Seeing him wake up, Lucas sat at the edge of the bed again.

"Where am I?" William asked as if in a daze. Frowning, he looked around the room. "Why are you here?"

"This is your home. I'm here to perform a surgery on you," answered Lucas expressionlessly.

"Where is Mary? Is she here?" William had just woken so he was a bit sluggish. He tried to sit up but it was difficult for him.

"Why are you so excited?" Lucas hurriedly helped him up and continued, "Mary is not here. You made her angry so she ran away. Have you forgotten what you did to her?"

William's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He did not forget. How could he forget?

"I want to see her!" William lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Don't." Lucas stopped him at once. He pointed at the IV bag beside his bed and said, "The infusion is not finished yet. Also, your body hasn't fully recovered. Besides, even if you go to Mary, she doesn't want to see you."

"I know she doesn't want to see me," said William, who slumped onto a pillow on the bed and scratched his head with one hand. "But if I don't go, she wouldn't see me. I was... I just said something without thinking. She will understand!"

"No woman can understand, William." Lucas pointed at him and enumerated his sins in a loud voice. "You have someone else in your heart

he could not wait to visit Andy in prison. After that, he went to see Beth. When he thought that he had finally figured out everything, he came here to take the two children back. For the sake of the children, he knew Mary would meet him. However, he did not expect that she would come to the family house faster than him.

"Dad!"

"Dad is here!"

The two kids had not seen William for a few days. As soon as they saw him, they both rushed to him to ask for his hug.

"Alick and Elissa!" William was moved that his kids had missed him. As he was about to pick them up, Mary suddenly shouted, "Don't touch them!"

Hearing that, William immediately stopped what he was doing and stepped back. He could do nothing but watch Mary pull them back and stand in front of them like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Mary," William called her painfully.

"What happened?" Amy came over and saw that there was something wrong between the two adults. "Did you have a fight?" she asked.

"William, how did you offend your children's mother again?" Timothy asked seriously.

Mary turned her head away in disgust and said, "Father, Aunt Amy, I'm leaving now!" She was adamant to avoid William's gaze.

"Wait a moment!" William stood in front of her and grabbed her hand suddenly. "Let's go. I'll take you to somewhere."

"No! Let go of me! You are so disgusting! Don't touch me! I said let go of me!" Mary shouted and struggled to get rid of his grasp desperately.

"Father, Aunt Amy, please take care of the children first. I have to leave with Mary now!" After saying that, William pulled her and stuffed her into his car.

The car left in a flash, leaving the two elders and two kids looking at each other.
