Love Contract novel Chapter 178

Frank frowned at the sight of him.

"I am leaving," said Corbett while looking at him. "I have a deal to make."

"You don't have to tell me everything," Frank sneered. He took out the key and opened the door without looking at him.

"It's dangerous this time."

"Every mission is dangerous, isn't it?" Frank glanced at him and continued, "I will only believe what you said if you don't come back this time."

Corbett lowered his head and smiled, a subtle pain flashed in his eyes.

All of a sudden, he took off a string of Buddhist beads from his hand and took advantage of Frank's unpreparedness to put it on his hand. "This string of Buddhist beads was given to me by my father. It was said that it was from Mount Wutai in China. I've been wearing this since I was a child."

Frank frowned. When he was about to give it back, Corbett grabbed his arm.

"Who knows maybe I won't be able to come back this time. Until then, you can keep it as a souvenir. If you really don't want it, throw it away," said Corbett, with a charming smile on his face.

After saying that, he kissed Frank on the cheek and strode away.

Frank was about to protest, but when he looked up, he saw that Corbett's figure had already disappeared in the night.

Looking at the string of Buddha beads with dark patterns on his wrist, Frank hesitated for a long time. However, he did not take it off.

Early the next morning, Alick welcomed two guests in his ward.

"You can't lie to me, Elissa," said Mary, turning her back at the door. "You have recovered. You must go to the kindergarten today."

"No," protested Elissa while pouting. "Alick doesn't have to go to the kindergarten! It's unfair!"

"Alick is still sick! If you don't listen, we won't like you anymore! I won't tell you any stories tonight!" said Mary with her arms akimbo.

"Mommy, you're bad." And with that, Elissa burst into tears.

"Why is Elissa crying?" Suddenly, Amy came in carrying a thermos.

"Grandma!" As soon as Elissa heard her grandma's voice, she turned around and cried, "Grandpa, Grandma!"

"Father, Aunt Amy." Mary turned around immediately.

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!" Alick also raised his head and greeted his grandparents.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Timothy picked Elissa up and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Grandpa," Elissa sniffed, "I don't want to go to the kindergarten."

Timothy did not say anything. He was shocked at the kid's reason why she was crying. "Elissa hasn't been to the kindergarten for days. It's not good to stay in the hospital all day long," Mary explained.

"But I want to be with Alick!"

"Then you don't have to go to the kindergarten!" said Timothy suddenly.

"Yeah! Grandpa is the best!" Elissa stopped crying at once and was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Elissa!" Mary shook her head, unable to do anything.

Timothy played with the little girl for quite some time. After a while, he turned to Mary and asked, "Mary, are you tired of taking care of the children alone? If you feel tired, just tell me. I'll find you nurses."

"No, I'm not tired," said Mary, while waving her hand dismissively.

"If you are tired, just say it," Amy chimed in, and she patted Mary's hand. "I have nothing else to do all day long. I can come and help you take care of them. They're my grandchildren. Whenever I look at them, I feel that I am many years younger."

"Aunt Amy, you are not old at all!"

"I am old," said Amy, waving her hand. "I still remember the first time I saw you. You were so cute, and now you're a mother of two children. Mary, thank you."

"Aunt Amy..."

"Your father's health is getting worse and worse over the past few years. He didn't say it, but I know in my heart that when he gets old, he just wants to enjoy the happiness of a family reunion. But William... Alas," smiled Amy, "fortunately, you really brought two good grandchildren to the Lan Family!"

The Lan Family...

Mary's eyes darkened. How would she tell the two elders? The children were hers, not the Lan Family's!

"Mary? Don't you plan to start over with William?" 'Start over?' Mary laughed at herself. They were never together to begin with.
