At this moment, the supposedly locked showcase was open, and one of the teapots had fallen and broken into pieces on the floor. The other one was still…
“My darling!” One could not tell if Dominic was referring to the teapot or the boy as he shouted in a trembling voice. On tiptoe, he sped over.
“Here you go, Grandpa!”
Seemingly knowing what Dominic wanted, Galen reached out his hands to grab the teapot for Dominic and lost his balance. His body swayed and fell backward.
“My darling!” The older man screamed again and quickly lunged forward to catch the boy as he fell.
At the same time, he heard another crash. He shut his eyes as if he could not face reality. His heart and body ached, inside and out!
“Don’t be scared, Grandpa!” Galen patted his chest soothingly.
Dominic was speechless. He wanted to cry!
Lily came over at this moment and sighed. “I was trying to ask you whether those two teapots were expensive.”
‘But he had to interrupt me and give a heroic speech.’
“What do you think?” Opening his eyes, he threw her a doleful and bitter look. “Then you should have just told me! I thought you were talking about Austin.”
“That’s your family affairs. Who am I to say anything about it?” Lily sighed and opened her arms. “Hand him over.”
