Doted by My Seven Brothers novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Departure

Marcus returned to L City that night with his younger siblings. Nancy fell asleep in his arms on the way back.

Meanwhile, Shawn brought Symon and Sean to the hospital for additional tests.

"We’re back."

At 2:00AM, the Brook Residence had not turned off the lights, and even the Elderly Mr. Brook was resting on the sofa and had not gone upstairs.

Upon seeing their precious daughter return, the entire family surrounded them. Then, James abruptly pulled his precious daughter from Marcus's grasp while displaying a snappish demeanor toward all his sons.

Even though Nancy was the reason they hadn't been back for days, James was so irrational that he blamed his sons for not being able to see his daughter for so long.

Who will want to blame Nancy, my sweetie?

"She's sound asleep."

When Windy noticed Nancy's puffy eyes, she became concerned and inquired, "Why has she been crying?"

Neil recounted what had happened in hushed tones, and the Brooks was even more distressed after hearing it.

James stated, "Since Nancy likes it, why can't we find a way to raise that tiger? It's not as if our family is incapable of doing so."

Marcus didn't think there was a problem with his suggestion. He said, "We also thought about it, but Nancy didn't want to."

James abruptly changed his mind and responded, "Then forget it."

Of course, nothing is more important than my daughter.

Nancy, who had been sleeping, was unaware that she had returned home. However, her body instinctively felt very comfortable and at ease in such a setting, most likely the feeling of home.

Then, the lights were turned off at 3:00AM at the Brooks' manor, but Marcus and James awoke very early the following morning despite having slept so late.

Nancy awoke at the same time, wandered around groggily for a while, and then realized she was in her own room. So, she changed into her own clothes before brushing her teeth and washing her face. Nonetheless, she found tying her hair difficult and had to rely on her parents or brothers for assistance.

James and Marcus had awoken and were in the living room as she descended the stairs. Tap…Tap…Tap…

The father's face lit up with joy when he locked eyes with his daughter.

"Nancy, why don't you come over here and let daddy brush your hair?"

"Okay."

The little girl responded affectionately and ran over to her father.

Once her hair was done up, she changed into her tracksuit and joined her father and elder brother for a morning run.

"Sweetie, why don't you just let daddy carry you and run?"

When James noticed she was exhausted from running on her short legs and her face flushed from excessive panting, he was devastated.

However, Nancy adamantly asserted, "No, I am able to complete my run."

James and Marcus began to run at a very slow pace to match her speed. They were soon joined by a dog named Adolph, who ran and jumped with excitement, and then by a few cats.

While cats would not require as many walks as dogs did, taking them on regular outings was still a good idea, as they could easily keep up with Nancy on the run.

She felt like she had depleted her energy entirely by the end of the run.

When Mr. Benjamin saw her in that state, he went over to her and used a towel to wipe the sweat off her adorable little face.

"Miss Nancy, you are still young. You do not need to accompany them on their morning run."

"The book says that good habits should be started at a young age!" Nancy calmly allowed Mr. Benjamin to wipe the sweat from her face.

Even though she said it that way, they were devastated by her insistence on keeping up with them despite her small size.

The running had left Nancy exhausted, so she went to rest for a while. She felt revitalized after a hearty breakfast.

In fact, there are times when children have a lot of pep in their steps.

"Marcus... Marcus, please take me to the farm."

Nancy had missed Akio and the rest of them.

He stroked her head and said, "Okay."

The half month that Nancy had been gone had flown by, and while Hill offered to take photos for her, all she really wanted was to give a big hug to Akio and the rest of her friends.

It was time for the farm animals to get up, and at first glance, it might seem like nothing had changed, but a closer inspection revealed that life was springing up everywhere.

When the Brooks bought the farm, the grass was a drab yellow. Now it was a vibrant green all the way to the horizon, and the fields of crops were so well-organized that they were therapeutic to look at.
