Love Contract novel Chapter 176

Although the little boy's head was covered with thick gauze, the frown on his face was exactly the same as that on William's face.

The old couple stared at Alick intently, clearly dumbfounded.

"Is he... William's son?" Amy covered her mouth in disbelief. It wasn't long until her eyes were already brimming with tears.

Timothy, who was still staring at Alick in confusion, said nothing.

"Alick!" As soon as she turned around, Elissa saw her brother and jumped back to the wheelchair.

"Elissa! Come back!" Mary rushed over to follow them, visibly upset with Elissa. "We are at a hospital! What if you ran into a fragile patient? Elissa, I swear to God, if you don't behave yourself—"

"Mary? Is that you?"

Someone suddenly said, interrupting Mary's planned disciplinary litany for Elissa. Mary's eyes widened in shock and confusion. Immediately, she followed the source of the voice and found out that it was an old couple not far away from where they were.

"Father... Father? Aunt... Aunt Amy?"

"Mary! It's really you!" Amy rushed to Mary at once, tears already in her eyes. When she was in front of her, she immediately cupped Mary's delicate face in her hands and said, "Where have you been all these years? Mary, we've looked for you everywhere!"

"Aunt Amy..." Mary choked with sobs.

"Silly girl! Not even a letter!" The two wrapped their arms around each other tightly as they cried their eyes out.

Timothy then came forward, his eyes also full of tears. "Mary," he addressed her. While the moment was definitely heart-warming, he needed to know and clarify some things.

"Father..."

"Are they..." Timothy pointed at the two kids beside Mary. "Are they your children?"

Mary wiped her tears and frowned slightly. After taking a deep breath, she admitted, "Yes, they are my children."

"Is William their father?" Amy held Mary's hand tightly as she stared into her eyes, her face full of expectation and surprise. "I mean, the little guy looks exactly like him..."

"No, they are not!" Mary immediately denied. "They are not his children. Not his!"

"But..."

"Mary," Timothy said in a low voice. "You can be honest with us. Are they really not? If they are not his, who is their father?"

"I... I have already divorced him." Mary signed deeply. "If you really want to know, their father is... Someone else!"

Mary expected some kind of a negative reaction from the old man, so when he didn't say anything, she was shocked. Just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief, Timothy let out a pained scream.

"Timothy! What's happening to you, love?" Amy quickly went to Timothy's side to assist and see if anything was wrong with him. Mary could see the color draining out of her face fast.

"Father!" Mary shouted, as she, too, came to the aid of the old man. Adrenalin was already coursing through her veins as her initial shock wore off.

The hospital staff also surrounded Timothy. "Mr. Lan, please calm down!" "Let's get Mr. Lan to the emergency room!"

"No... This is... nothing..." Timothy waved his hand, raised his eyes to meet Mary's, and said, "Mary, I just want to know if these children's father is that bastard William..." It was clear that he was struggling to talk. "You see, your Aunt Amy and I are getting old. We just want to have a grandson or a granddaughter and enjoy having a peaceful family life for the remaining days of our lives.

You just called me Father, didn't you? Please— just stop lying to me, or else my blood pressure will rise again..."

Mary couldn't believe what she just heard. Worse, she didn't know how to respond or what to do.

"Umph!" Timothy groaned again, now clutching his chest.

"Okay, okay! Yes!" Mary was so scared to lose the father whom she had just seen again that she was left with no other choice but to confess. "Their father is William. These kids are his."

Alick looked at them quietly and rolled his eyes. 'William ...'

"Really? These are William's kids?" Amy once again looked lively as a huge smile donned her lips. "Both, right?" she asked as she lovingly stared at the two kids. "Are they twins? They look the same age."

"Yes, they are," Mary nodded.

"My dear grandchildren!" Timothy suddenly sprang up to his feet as if nothing had happened. He shimmied quickly to the side of the two kids, tears filling his eyes. "I'm your

grandpa!"

"Grandpa?" Elissa asked, tilting her head on one side. Her eyes were full of questions. She then looked at Mary in search for answers.

"He is your grandpa. This is your grandma."

"What? We have grandparents?" Alick asked.

"Yes, of course!" Timothy answered, pretending to be serious. "Come on, call me Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!" Elissa greeted him with the sweetest smile. "Hi, Grandpa!"
