Sweet Twins novel Chapter 438

Right after the two kids had hidden themselves, Charles opened the door and walked out.

"Whew, that was a close call. We almost got caught by Daddy," Nadia said nervously with a deep sigh.

"Well, Nadia, our mission is to talk to great grandpa. We have to make him promise to us that he will allow Daddy to marry Mommy."

"Do you think great grandpa will listen to us?" Nadia was unsure and not confident at all. The more she thought about it, the more she thought her that great grandpa was a boring and indifferent old man. Couldn't he see what a good mommy Nancy was? How could her great grandpa not like her at all?

"Well, we are children, and great grandpa likes us the most and he dotes on us. If there is no other way, we can pretend to be pitiful. Great grandpa will definitely compromise and give in," Bobby stated confidently. He had been spoiled by Frederic since he was a child. Frederic had never refused his requests previously, so Bobby wanted to ask his great grandpa to agree to his Daddy's marriage.

"Okay, I will listen to what you say," Nadia agreed obediently.

The two kids gently pushed the door open and quietly walked in.

Hearing the door of the ward open again, Frederic thought that Charles had come back and had changed his mind.

So Frederic haughtily turned his head away on purpose.

Contrary to his expectation, he didn't hear the familiar footsteps of Charles. Instead, what he heard was a childish voice, "Great Grandpa..."

Frederic hurriedly opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Why are you both here?"

"We miss great grandpa so much, so we came to see you," Nadia sweetly told him.

"Oh, I'm sick now. Don't come too near. You need to stay away from me," cautioned Frederic while covering his mouth. He was afraid that he might infect the children with some bacteria.

"It's okay. We aren't afraid of great grandpa. Great grandpa is fine and healthy!" Bobby leaned over, held Frederic's big hand affectionately and gently rubbed it.

Bobby's warm little hands were soft. At the sight of the innocent eyes of the two children, Frederic's anger subsided and was mostly dispelled.

"Father, just look at these two kids. They are both so loving and caring!" Angelina remarked with a big smile on her face as she looked at the two adorable children.

"How did you come here? Did your Daddy know that you are here?" Hardy inquired anxiously.

Hardy was afraid that Charles would lose his temper if he found out that the kids were missing.

"Of course our Daddy knows that we are here. He has always told us that he wants to give us a complete family," Bobby mentioned with a slight trace of grievance on his little face.

"Yes, great grandpa. You don't know that in the kindergarten, the other children bully me and call me Daddy's illegitimate daughter... It makes me so sad!" Nadia sobbed miserably.

"What? Who dares to call you that?" Looking at Nadia's tearful face, Frederic felt sorry for her.

It never occurred to him that the Fu family's children would be ridiculed by others. For him, money was omnipotent and could resolve everything.

Besides, the Fu family was very powerful in this city!

And anyway, what had the private affairs of the Fu family anything to do with others?

"There are so many of them! I can't even count how many there are!" Nadia exclaimed, all the while with tears streaming down her pitiful face.

"Oh, Nadia, please don't cry. You are my true great granddaughter..." Frederic immediately raised his hand and soothingly wiped off Nadia's tears.

"Great Grandpa, you also want us to have a complete happy family, don't you?" Bobby then took the opportunity to ask.

Looking at Bobby and Nadia, Frederic suddenly realized something and his mind flashed in understanding, "I see. You two have been sent by Charles to persuade me, haven't you? Well, Charles has indeed changed and is not the same person he used to be. He will do everything to achieve his goal, won't he? He even cunningly wants to make use of you two!"

What? Why did it turn out like this?

Both Bobby and Nadia had not expected that.

How could their presence be related to Daddy's scheme?

Daddy wasn't even aware that the two of them came here at all, was he?

The two kids looked at each other incredulously and vehemently shook their heads.

They said in one voice, "Great Grandpa, you are mistaken. We are good children."

"I know you are good kids, but you have been badly influenced and corrupted by a vicious Daddy. I have made up my mind that for the sake of your healthy growth, you can't go back to Charles for the time being. You might be led astray by him," Frederic stated resolutely after thinking for a while.

"What are you saying?"

Now it was Hardy and Angelina's turn to be shocked. What did Frederic mean? He was still sick and yet he wanted to bring the two children to his side?

Right now, they were in the hospital, not at home. They needed to take care of both Derrick and Frederic. With two patients, they were already very busy. Now he wanted two add two more children to their responsibility? Did Frederic think they were omnipotent?

"Why? Do you have any problem with it?" challenged Frederic irately.

"No, father. We are already too busy with you and Derrick. We cannot properly take care of the children here. Whereas if they are at home, both Nancy and Charles can take good care of them. But if they are to stay here..."

Before Hardy could finish his words, Frederic suddenly interrupted him, "There are servants at home, aren't there? Find some of them who are trustworthy to take good care of Bobby and Nadia. Humph, since Charles doesn't want to go back to the TS Group, then I won't allow him go back either." While speaking, Frederic raised his hand and tenderly stroked Bobby's head. "Bobby, grow up soon. I won't wait for your Daddy to come back anymore. I'll try to live a few more years and hand over the TS Group to you when the time comes."

Angelina was stunned by what she heard and protested, "Father, no! That's not possible! By the time Bobby has grown up, the TS Group would have been swallowed up by other groups already. Will there still be anything left to hand over to Bobby by then?"

Alas, had Frederic gone out of his mind?

He was already in an advanced age now. Did he think he was still invincible and could do anything he wanted to like before?

Besides, how old was Charles at that time he gave him the reins of the TS group?

Charles was already more than 20 years old then. Compared to now, Bobby was only a few years old. Wasn't that idea too ridiculous?

"Yes, father. I think you must have gravely misunderstood Charles. Don't you still know what kind of person he is until now? Can you not put your trust in him? He is an upright and serious person. The only bad thing about him is that he is as stubborn as you are and refuses to compromise. Isn't that one of the reasons why you appreciated him before? Why do you suddenly feel that his advantages have now become his insurmountable shortcomings? Just think about it. Have you not also done something wrong? Derrick hasn't woken up yet and I know you are worried about his condition. Joseph hasn't come out either, and I know you are also concerned about him. But you haven't found out yet what really happened and you have no concrete evidence. How can you be so sure that it has something to do with Charles?" It was the first time that Hardy had argued with his father. He had kept quiet all these years, but this time, he had spoken out because Derrick and Joseph had made Frederic almost lose his mind.

"Stop lecturing me. If you are so capable, let Derrick wake up now. Humph!" blurted Frederic stubbornly.

Yes, Frederic was worried about the future of the TS Group, but he was even more flustered about Derrick's life.

No matter what kind of person Derrick was, in Frederic's eyes, he would always be his son.

He didn't want Derrick to leave the world before him.

The pain would be immense and he would just be a poor parent!

"We are not doctors and cannot perform miracles. How can we wake Derrick up from his coma?" Angelina retorted in distress.

"Then leave the kids here and take good care of them on my behalf," Frederic ordered without giving in an inch.
