Chapter 289 His Heart Ached

"Does Mommy love you? No, I don't think so," Charles replied coldly.

"Daddy... Are you mad at Mommy?" Nadia would be upset to see Charles and Nancy quarrel and ignore each other.

So she asked him in a soft voice.

She stared at Charles, keeping the tears from strolling down her face.

Charles didn't like seeing her that way. He felt sorry for her.

He picked up Nadia and said, "Let's go home, kids."

When they reached home, Nancy was already cooking dinner.

Charles didn't speak a word. He quietly took out the ointment and applied some to Bobby.

Meanwhile, Nancy cooked noodles with onion.

"If you are already hungry, you can start eating." She looked at Bobby and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"Don't worry, mommy. it doesn't hurt anymore," Bobby reassured his mother.

Nancy sighed.

"What's with the sigh? The truth is, deep within your heart, you don't really care about me and the kids!" Charles accused her angrily.

"What are you thinking about?" Nancy couldn't understand why he was shouting in rage.

Wasn't she the one who had the right to be angry?

"Daddy, mommy, it hurts!" Bobby shouted not because he was in pain, but so

ide.

Nancy brushed her hands through her hair and raised her head. She looked straight into Charles' eyes with tears in hers and asked, "Do you think I don't know that it's you who told President Hobart that Jessie received red envelopes from the patients?"

Charles breathed a sigh of relief. "So this is what it's all about? I thought..." He paused for a while to think. "Nancy, I'm the hospital's biggest investor. Don't I even have the right to punish the culpable doctor? If I didn't punish Jessie, other doctors will surely follow suit. Do you want this to happen again?"

"Of course not! But you have to judge the situation. Because of what happened, we now have a shortage of pediatric doctors. And if you think about it, Anna has always been coveting Jessie's position. Now, she is eyeing mine. It's just a matter of time until she tries to take it from me. In her eyes, she is the most powerful doctor in the pediatric department! I acknowledge Anna's competence as a pediatrician, but she is very arrogant! She tends to be overly confident that she sometimes she lacks caution. If no one would deter her, who knows how much trouble she will stir up one day!"
