The cab driver's hope to meet and see Charles was flushed down the drain faster than water would.
"Hmm… Uncle, let us get out of the car," Bobby suggested, sporting his cute, bubbly face. Then, after thinking for a while, he proposed, "Uncle, we don't have money to pay you right now. Can you wait here for a moment? We'll just ask daddy for some cash."
"It's okay, you don't have to. Just remember my plate number, and if ever you see my cab again, you can just pay me then. You know what? Forget it. Just consider the ride free as my way of doing a good deed." Knowing that it was prohibited to park at the gate of the hospital, the cab driver was helpless. He couldn't stay here and wait for the children to get the money; otherwise, the security guard might shoo him.
"Thank you so much, uncle," Nadia uttered before scooting over on the seat to deboard the taxi.
Bobby also expressed his thanks before finally leaving the driver, who waved at the kids before quickly driving away.
Fearing that others might see them, the kids traversed the path with fewer people.
If others recognized them, they would surely inform Nancy or Charles.
"Bobby, why didn't daddy go to the office?" As they walked cautiously, Nadia's voice suddenly broke the slight tension with her voice.
"Shh...Keep your voice down. Isn't he here in the hospital? Great-grandpa is sick, so he's probably here visiting him
out you agree with Charles and let him marry Nancy?" Hardy suddenly advised.
He neither could stop his son nor had the interest to do so. He was fine with Charles marrying any woman.
He had no feelings for Angelina, but he still had gotten through all these years with her.
There was neither happiness nor misfortune.
Everything just sailed stable, and if he were to be honest, his marriage was better than some couples' who married for love.
"Hardy, get out of here!" Frederic's voice suddenly blared in all corners of the ward.
And seeing that the old wan was dead serious this time, Hardy was too scared to utter a word.
Meanwhile, Bobby and Nadia had overheard the adults' entire conversation through the window.
"So great-grandpa kicked daddy out of the company?" Nadia's voice was coated with sadness and disappointment as she learned that fact.
"Yes, and the reason why daddy and mommy failed to negotiate was because of great-grandpa too. It was him who didn't allow mommy to marry daddy!" After successfully eavesdropping, Bobby began to put two and two together, finally understanding everything.
"Great-grandpa is a mean, old man. He is such a horrible person. I hate him!" Nadia pouted angrily, crossing her arms across her chest to show her displeasure.
"Come on! Hurry up. Daddy is walking out." Bobby held his sister's hand, and cautiously walked into the tea room.
