There were only two of them in the large hall.
It seemed that everyone else had left.
As I saw Patrick, Glenn saw him too.
Stretching out his arms enthusiastically, he rushed into Patrick's arms, "Uncle, you are here too!"
"Yes." Patrick hugged Glenn pouncing on him.
I secretly glanced at Shelton next to me. There seemed to be no change in his eyes. Regarding this matter, he didn't seem to care about it at all.
Seeing him like this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart instead.
"Let's go." To comfort him, I reached out and took Shelton's arm.
Shelton looked at me, curled up the corner of his mouth, and nodded.
Only then did he go downstairs with me.
Ned stood up, "Glenn, I bought a lot of fireworks for you. I've asked the servants to move them out. Shall we go outside?"
"Great!"
Glenn was so happy now that he no longer paid any attention to us.
He ran over to Ned's side and pulled him out.
Shelton got rid of my hand and hurried to Ned's side. "Father, we will accompany Glenn. You are old."
As a doctor, Shelton was worried about Ned's health.
Ned had been pushed into the OR not long ago. Speaking of setting off fireworks, it would somewhat have a bad influence on his heart.
Ned waved his big hand, "It's fine. It happens once only."
Since he said so, Shelton couldn't say anything more.
I helped Glenn put on his clothes. He, who had woken up just now, had sweat on his head. I wiped the sweat off for him and helped him put on his hat and scarf before letting him go out.
Only after we went outside did I see the fireworks prepared by Ned.
I was indeed amazed.
Besides some sparkles, the rest of the fireworks were all round or square-shaped big ones. At first glance, I could see that they were all of a goodlooking type.
Patrick walked at the front. Shelton and I walked at the back.
"Uncle, Uncle, come and set off the fireworks with me!" Instead of turning to Shelton and me, Glenn held Patrick's hand, asking him to have fun with him.
Patrick agreed happily.
Although there were no lights outside the house, fireworks boomed loudly in the sky from all directions one after another, rattling through the sky.
With the light of the fireworks, I looked at Shelton again. This time, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows without saying anything.
I couldn't help but feel nervous.
The way I saw it, Shelton should somewhat mind it.
After all, Glenn was nominally his son.
There was a small square in front of Ned's home where we could happen to set off the fireworks.
Patrick followed Glenn and chose a firework first. Then Patrick personally moved it over. After setting it off, he ran to the side while pulling Glenn's hand.
Covering Glenn's ears, he and Glenn looked up at the same time!
"Boom!" The firework surged into the sky with a flame and exploded!
I saw that Glenn jumped up and down excitedly and pointed at the fireworks in the sky while talking to Patrick.
After the two of them finished speaking, they burst out laughing.
They did look like a pair of father and son.
I looked up at Shelton. Shelton seemed to realize that I was looking at him. He bowed his head and said a few words.
Although the sound of firecrackers was loud, I could see that he should be saying, "What's wrong?"
