Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe)

Chapter 113 Caught Off Guard

Early the next morning, Joe came again.

He held an exquisite stuffed toy and two handheld gaming devices in his hands as he entered the ward.

Seeing him, Anna reacted like a warrior, standing before Charlotte, and said, "Why are you here again, you big villain?"

Hearing her address, Joe frowned, "Is this how you teach your children? To call me a villain?"

Charlotte didn't expect Anna to be so disdainful of Joe, and Joe's attitude amused her. "I've never taught the children this way. It's their own thoughts."

Joe neither confirmed nor denied it. He took two paper bags from Jack and handed them over, saying, "These are gifts for you."

Anna didn't even spare a glance and turned her head away, saying, "I don't want your gift."

Joe's expression darkened immediately. "Is this how your mother teaches you?"

"That's enough," Charlotte shot Joe an angry look. "My children don't need your evaluation. Mr. Smith, please leave."

"Yeah! We don't want to talk to you!" Anna chimed in loudly, only to be stopped by Charlotte. "Anna! You must be polite."

Anna's eyes twinkled as she ran up to Joe, putting on a big, fake smile. "Goodbye, Mr. Smith! Your work must be busy, so focus on it. Don't come here again next time."

Joe watched her silently for a moment, then left the room with a dark expression.

Charlotte furrowed her brows as she watched him leave. How could Joe be the kind of person to give up so easily?

"Stay in the room with your brother, and don't wander around. Mommy will be back in a bit," Charlotte decided to follow Joe outside after a brief thought. She needed to watch him leave. with her own eyes. As if aware of someone following him, Joe took a big circle around the hospital before finally leaving.

Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't help but furrow her brows. Just as she watched Joe get into the car, Joe suddenly glanced in her direction and gave her a faint smile.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, suddenly on high alert.

She swiftly turned and sprinted toward the direction of the ward, breathless as she pushed open the door.

At that moment, Ben was sitting on the bed, telling a story to

Anna. Startled by Charlotte's disheveled appearance, Ben exclaimed, "Mom, what happened to you?"

Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Charlotte let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm fine. I was just worried that you two might be in danger in this ward."" Ben and Anna exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"We're safe here! The nurse even helped me with my hair just

now!"

Charlotte was about to nod, but she suddenly paused.

With a serious expression, she looked at Ben and Anna and

asked, "Did a nurse come by just now?"

Anna nodded and proudly showed off her braided hair to

Charlotte. "Mom, look! The nurse helped me with this braid!"

Charlotte pursed her lips and managed a smile after a

moment. "Your hair looks really nice!"

She distinctly remembered that the head nurse had mentioned earlier today that the rounds by the nurses would

be greatly reduced in frequency and number due to a staff meeting at the hospital. They were told to communicate any special needs in advance.

Suppressing her growing sense of unease, Charlotte asked casually, "Did the nurse do any other examinations for you?"
