Chapter 452 Overcast Clouds
When Charles checked his watch, he realized that it was already time to pick up the children. So he went downstairs and drove
to the kindergarten.
Although the kids were still young, they were smart and full of ideas. Charles knew that they could be a great help.
After picking them up, Charles drove straight to the hospital.
As she watched the sceneries outside, Nadia asked, "Daddy, are we going to the hospital?"
"Great Grandpa misses you, so we're going to see him." From the rear-view mirror, Charles glanced at her.
"But Great Grandpa has been grumpy recently. Daddy, are all the sick elderly like this?" Bobby said, annoyed.
Although he was busy thinking about how he could make Derrick show his true colors, Charles replied, "Well, people tend to
become stubborn when they get old. So you should try your best to make Great Grandpa happy, understand?"
"Yes, we will, Daddy." Nadia nodded hard.
After thinking for a while, Charles came up with a decision. "You two, come closer. I have something to tell you."
The two children immediately came closer to him.
To explain everything to the children, Charles temporarily stopped the car.
As soon as he was done telling them the plan, he drove again.
When they arrived, they took the elevator and went straight to Derrick's ward.
Since Derrick called him an idiot, Joseph had been more careful. He was afraid that Charles would burst in without notice, so he
didn't dare to take off the oxygen mask for his father.
It was boring for him to sit alone and read news on the phone.
The moment he saw the news about him being praised, his inexplicable pride came back.
His lips automatically formed into a smile as he read all the flattery for himself.
It was not until he heard voices when he realized that someone had come in. Frightened, Joseph quickly put his phone away. But
when he saw that it was just the children, he smiled again. "Ah, it's you two."
"We are here to visit Grandpa Derrick. Uncle, why hasn't Grandpa Derrick woken up yet?" Nadia's worried little eyes were fixed
on Derrick.
"Yes, I'm also worried. I don't know what's going on. Why hasn't he woken up yet? "Yes, I'm also worried. I don't know what's
going on. Why hasn't my father woken up yet? In an instant, the smile on Joseph's face disappeared and was replaced with a
scowl.
"Uncle, I bought some steamed stuffed buns. I want to give them to Grandpa Derrick, okay?" Bobby deliberately put one of the
steamed buns under his nose and sniffed it. "Wow, it smells so good. This steamed bun is the best I've ever tasted, isn't it,
Nadia?"
Before answering, Nadia swallowed first. "Yes, Bobby. Can I have one?"
"These are for Grandpa Derrick. You can't eat them. I didn't buy much." With the steamed bun in his hands, Bobby ran towards
Derrick and put it in front of his mouth. "Grandpa Derrick, you have been lying here for a long time. You must be very hungry. So
I bought the steamed buns for you specially. Please get up and have a taste. Wow, it smells good!"
His little voice sounded exaggerated.
The aroma of the steamed bun drifted into Derrick's nostrils. Fortunately, he was wearing an oxygen mask; otherwise, he couldn't
help but drool.
As he swallowed secretly, he had scolded Joseph in his mind, 'Why hasn't Joseph driven the children out yet? Doesn't he know
that any food is too attractive to me now?'
Seeing that Derrick was not saying anything, Bobby sighed. "Grandpa Derrick, you must be hungry. Let me feed you, okay?"
After saying that, he reached out his little hand.
He was about to take off Derrick's oxygen mask when Joseph stopped him. "Don't, Bobby. My father can't eat anything now. He
can only eat liquid food. Bring me the steamed buns. I'm hungry!"
"But we bought them for Grandpa Derrick. You can't eat. Humph!" Bobby pouted unhappily.
"Ah, how about this? Go home for now and when my father wakes up, I will call you two, okay?" This time, Joseph was cautious.
He didn't dare to be too arrogant after he learned his lesson.
But he didn't expect that the children were difficult to deal with.
Raising her head, Nadia said, "Uncle Joseph, we haven't seen Grandpa Derrick for a long time. We miss him very much. We will
just accompany him here and do nothing, okay?"
With furrowed brows, Bobby asked, "Yes, Uncle Joseph, we are here to visit Grandpa Derrick. Are you going to kick us out?"
All of a sudden, Joseph didn't know what to do. He could yell at Nancy and Charles, but not at the two children. They were the
apple of Frederic's eye. If he offended them, they might complain to Frederic. When that happened, he would be over.
Therefore, Joseph's strategy was to coax them.
"I don't mean to kick you out. I just feel that you are hungry. You can have dinner first, and then you can come to see Grandpa
Derrick after that. Do you agree?" Joseph said patiently.
"Yes, we are hungry. How about we eat the buns here?" Sitting on the sofa, Bobby took out a steamed bun and gave it to Nadia.
Then he picked up another steamed bun and began to eat it.
Its aroma was overflowing, much stronger than earlier.
As expected, it made Joseph drool, as well as Derrick.
At this time, Nadia and Bobby shouted deliberately, "Yummy! This is the most delicious steamed bun I've ever eaten. It's so
delicious with thin skin and big fillings!"
"Yeah, this bun is so delicious!" Nadia said and took a big bite.
The gravy was left beside her mouth, which looked delicious.
"Give me one." Joseph hadn't finished his dinner yet. When he was about to have dinner just now, Nancy came in and then
Charles also came in.
He hadn't had his dinner yet. Now when he saw the two children eating with relish, his stomach growled.
"Okay, I'll give you one." As generous as she was, Nadia took out a steamed bun from the box and handed it to Joseph.
After accepting it, Joseph sat down and began to eat.
Derrick was so angry. Did Joseph do it on purpose? Didn't he know that his father hadn't had a good meal for a few days?
These two kids dug a trap for him and Joseph was stupid enough to jump in.
Did they conspire to set him up?
Since he had no choice, Derrick tried to ignore the sound of them eating. He was also trying hard to ignore the aroma.
But he couldn't control his stomach. His stomach was growling with hunger.
When they heard it, Nadia asked, "What's the sound?"
"What? Nothing. Nothing." Joseph tried to cover it up.
"No, I heard it. It's Grandpa's stomach. His stomach is saying that he is hungry!" With these words, Bobby ran to Derrick again
with a steamed bun in his hand. "Grandpa Derrick, try the steamed bun. It smells good!"
