The More the Merrier

Chapter 1063 Does He Have A Death Wish

Darius glowered at Julian and snapped, "As their older cousin, how could you talk to them like that? Don't you have any manners?"

Holding back his anger, Julian said, "Grandpa, if they hadn't stood in my way and scolded me, do you think I would've gotten provoked into saying such things?"

"How mean-spirited of you to pick a fight with kids. They stopped you because they didn't want you to disturb my rest. How is that wrong of them? Apologize immediately!" came Darius' angry response. Julian stared at him in disbelief. "You want me to apologize to them?"

Why should I be the one to apologize to them when these b*stards were the ones who spoke so insolently?

"Apologize!" Darius growled loudly, his face as black as thunder.

Julian was stunned, rage surging through him. He's way too biased!

"If you refuse to do so, don't bother coming to see me," Darius added coldly. Then, he turned to go back into the ward.

"Grandpa!" Julian called out in a panic.

When he saw Darius ignore him, he tamped down his resentment, then uttered a quick apology to Jasper and Oliver in a cold voice. "I'm sorry."

The two boys glanced at him in disgust and rolled their eyes. He doesn't sound the least bit sincere. Who would care to accept an apology like that?

Julian seethed with anger upon noticing their expressions of disdain.

Gavin, Tim, Zachary, and Jesse glared at him. "If you're going to make such an insincere apology, you might as well not apologize at all."

Darius glowered at Julian and snapped, "As their older cousin, how could you talk to them like that? Don't you have any manners?"

Julian scowled at them, but when he raised his head and happened to meet Darius' gaze, he softened his expression immediately. In a much more earnest tone, he repeated, "I'm sorry." The six kids looked away. None of them wanted Julian there.

Sweeping a glance over Julian, Darius said, "Go home. Don't come to the hospital to disturb me."

Seeing that his grandfather was about to walk into the ward, Julian hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, I need to speak to you!"

Darius looked at him up and down, then snorted coldly. "I have no say in that matter."

Before Julian could say anything else, Darius had already guessed what the former wanted to talk to him about.

A deep frown creased Julian's brow. He asked in a panicked voice, "Are you seriously not going to do anything to help my dad?"

"What can I do? If your father hasn't done anything wrong, the police will release him after conducting their investigations." With that, Darius went back into the ward with the children in tow.

"Grandpa-" Julian opened his mouth to say something, but the door to the ward had already closed.

He stood outside the ward for a while after getting ignored by Darius. Finally, he had no choice but to leave.

"Don't be ongry, Grondpo. It's not good for your heolth," Govin soid to Dorius cooxingly.

Dorius nodded. It wormed his heort to see how much the children worried obout him.

"Grondpo, hove some woter," Tim piped up, pouring Dorius o gloss of woter.

Feeling touched, Dorius potted them on their heods. "You don't hove to worry. I'm oll right." He gozed ot the six children, ond his heort wrenched. "Don't toke ony notice of whotever nonsense your cousin soid. All of you ore precious to me ond your fother os well. You're not wild children."

Nodding, the little ones replied in unison, "We know thot. He wos deliberotely trying to moke us ongry. We won't toke it to heort."

Dorius nodded, relieved thot they did not oppeor to be offected. "Why don't you join me to get some rest?"

Govin glonced ot his siblings, then replied, "We don't wont to disturb your rest, Grondpo. We're going to find Mr. Boiley."

They woited until Dorius dozed off before slipping quietly out of the word. However, they did not go looking for Shoun immediotely. Insteod, Govin colled Benjomin to report to him obout Julion's visit. "Julion even colled us wild children, Doddy!" Govin did not withhold ony detoils ond told Benjomin everything.

Benjomin's expression turned grim. Does thot Julion hove o deoth wish?

"Are you guys ond Grondpo okoy?"

"Don't be angry, Grandpa. It's not good for your health," Gavin said to Darius coaxingly.

Darius nodded. It warmed his heart to see how much the children worried about him.

"Grandpa, have some water," Tim piped up, pouring Darius a glass of water.

Feeling touched, Darius patted them on their heads. "You don't have to worry. I'm all right." He gazed at the six children, and his heart wrenched. "Don't take any notice of whatever nonsense your cousin said. All of you are precious to me and your father as well. You're not wild children."

Nodding, the little ones replied in unison, "We know that. He was deliberately trying to make us angry. We won't take it to heart."

Darius nodded, relieved that they did not appear to be affected. "Why don't you join me to get some rest?"

Gavin glanced at his siblings, then replied, "We don't want to disturb your rest, Grandpa. We're going to find Mr. Bailey."

They waited until Darius dozed off before slipping quietly out of the ward. However, they did not go looking for Shaun immediately. Instead, Gavin called Benjamin to report to him about Julian's visit.

"Julian even called us wild children, Daddy!" Gavin did not withhold any details and told Benjamin everything.

Benjamin's expression turned grim. Does that Julian have a death wish?

"Are you guys and Grandpa okay?"
