The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 167

If Doris were to accept these properties, it would imply that what Jennie and Eric guessed was in fact true. That she got closer to Jay for financial benefits.

Doris was aware about this.

She watched Landon in a coma, bid goodbye to him in silence, and walked out.

Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

She wiped her tears with a tissue.

At that moment, Nancy came.

"What's wrong, Doris?" she asked gently.

Yesterday, she got the news that Landon was seriously ill. In the past few days, she had been busy with the hospital's affairs, and she didn't get along well with Charles. She was so preoccupied that she didn't even have time to care about other things.

After she and Charles went back from the hotel yesterday, the cold war between them ended and their relationship improved, at least for the time being.

However, Nancy didn't dare to mention about Dorothy.

A moment ago, Frederic called Nancy and asked about Charles' stand on the matter. Nancy said perfunctorily, "Mr. Frederic, we'll take it slow. I think we should wait for some more time.'' "You know Dorothy has been in prison for a long time. Aren't you afraid that the Zhuang family will do something desperate?" Frederic said anxiously.

"I will try my best to convince Charles!" Nancy assured.

But she had her concerns. She didn't know how to persuade Charles in favor of Dorothy.

Charles didn't want Dorothy out of the prison. Once Nancy make an attempt to talk about her, he would leave immediately.

However, to her surprise, Frederic's words were turning prophetic.

Nancy didn't leave Landon's ward until she would decide to call it a day.

It was one of those rare occasions when she had some spare time to drive to the kindergarten.

She reached there on time and waited for the children to show up. Usually, Bobby and Nadia would wait for her or Charles in the kindergarten's yard.

But they weren't there today.

Nancy wondered what they were doing.

All the children left one-by-one, except for Bobby and Nadia. They were nowhere to be seen.

Nancy felt a bit uneasy. She walked straight into the classroom and asked, "Excuse me, I came to pick up Bobby and Nadia. Where are they?"

"Oh, but they have been taken away. It's been a while!" the teacher said.

"May I know who picked them up?" Nancy asked.

No matter who came here, he or she was supposed to give her a call.

The teacher thought for a while and then replied, "Well, Mr. Fu sent someone to pick them up." "Was it Hiram?" Nancy asked curiously.

Because only four people came to pick up the kids, Nancy, Doris, Charles and Hiram.

No one else came other than the four of them.

The teacher shook her head and replied, "No, it was not him. But the guy had Hiram's mobile phone with him. He said that something happened to Hiram, so he was here to pick up the children."

When the teacher had just finished, the expression on Nancy's face changed suddenly.

She felt something wasn't right. Immediately, she rang Charles up.

But Charles didn't answer the phone. Nancy was anxious and directly drove to his office.

At this time, Charles was in a meeting. The real estate's business was on a downslope. He wanted to sell a few lands and transfer the capital to the renewable energy sector.

The executives had differences of opinions about the proposal, so they were having a heated discussion.

While attending such meetings, Charles would turn his phone to silent mode, so he didn't hear the phone call from Nancy.

At this moment, his secretary came in and said, "Mr. Fu, Miss Ning is here."
