Timothy froze at once.
Little Gary's step also came to a halt all of a sudden. Go to the hospital to see Mommy?
He wanted to go too.
"I!" Timothy was at a loss and for a moment, he felt slightly embarrassed. "I would be happy to take you there. I want to fulfill all your demands, but I'm afraid that if I do, your mommy will be angry. After what happened, I'm really fearful."
"Grandpa, why are you so scared?" Ernest pouted as he became a little disappointed. "I really want to see Mommy. I don't know how she is now."
"She's fine," Timothy said. "I just don't know how much I've hurt the babies. I've done her great harm. So now, I have to listen to her and I dare not hurt her again. Even if it's an accident, I don't want to hurt her at all."
"Grandpa, aren't you worrying too much?" said Ernest while looking at him. "You are on your own now. What you have done is enough for Mommy's sake."
Timothy shook his head and said, "It's not enough.
I can never make it up to her."
What was done had been done, hence it would be very difficult to make it up to Grace.
"Grandpa, you really won't take me to see Mommy?" Ernest asked.
Timothy nodded seriously and said, "Ernest, I can't stand any more frights."
He was afraid that something might happen on the way. What would he do then?
Ernest looked at him and nodded. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, you've passed the test. Although I really want to see Mommy, I'm happy that you are being so cautious. Grandpa, I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and have a rest. Don't think too much."
Timothy was really moved. This child's concern and compassion for him were incomparable.
He nodded with bloodshot eyes.
Little Gary continued forward. His handsome face was icy, just like Heinz's, but smaller.
Before Timothy left, the butler escorted Alice in.
"Mrs. Jones isn't at home. You didn't call before you came?" the butler asked Alice.
Alice was carrying a handbag. She was also dressed in business attire, looking young and capable.
"No. I haven't visited for a long time since I've been very busy recently. I miss my sister and nephews. How have you guys been lately?" Alice asked.
"We're alright." The butler twitched his lips awkwardly, thinking that Alice still didn't know about this matter. He didn't know whether he should hide it from Alice too.
A breeze followed behind Alice as she walked.
Ever since she joined Sunny Group, she had been extremely busy. Every day was a bustle, she would be leading, learning, and seeking success with the company. All of this wore her out.
She didn't have much time to waste.
She had even learned how to walk at her current speed.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Timothy and Ernest, as well as Gary's figure in the distant corridor. She was taken aback at once.
"Hmm, Mr. Yarbrough's here too?" Alice paused for a moment before greeting him.
Alice didn't know what to say to her sister's biological father. It was rather awkward to meet him.
After all, they didn't share the same father. This was a helpless fact, but she had to accept it.
"Miss Smith." Timothy was also very cordial towards Alice.
"Where's my sister?" Alice couldn't spot Grace.
Timothy looked at the butler blankly.
