Chapter 895: Chapter 895

Adam Ross gathered his thoughts and said in a low voice, "Chad’s illness has actually worried Mr. Ross a lot."

Although Mr. Ross was serious and unfeeling about certain things, he had a soft spot for the two children.

"Now our Mr. Ross realizes the consequences of forcefully taking custody at your place, and if he keeps the children at the Ross family home this weekend, they probably won’t be happy. It’s better to let them stay with you," he said slowly.

Adam continued, "In fact, it’s just that Mr. Ross values these two children too much, and with his personality being as it is, so..."

Adam did not finish his sentence, but Charlotte understood clearly in her heart.

Charlotte had always harbored grudges against the Ross family, especially after Chad fell ill.

She could never understand how the Ross family members could be so... heartless, only placing their interests first and foremost.

When Mr. Ross found out that there were two children from the Ross family left outside, he had nearly used all the family’s influence to locate Charlotte and demanded the children be returned to the Ross family.

Disregarding the fact that Charlotte had already formed a mother-child bond with Jack and Chad that was inseparable by others.

Even Jasmine Clarkson had said that among the major families, theirs was the coldest and most ruthless.

Furthermore, with the internal chaos of the Ross family, returning the two children would be like presenting targets to those with ulterior motives.

Charlotte did not have much fondness for Mr. Ross, except for the respect due from a younger generation to an elder.

But now, as Charlotte watched the retreating figure of Mr. Ross, she felt a certain pity for him.

The infighting in other noble families was also commonplace, but after all, it was within controls.

In contrast with the Ross family.

Torn apart by internal strife, Mr. Ross—at his advanced age—was still desperately supporting the outwardly prosperous but inwardly in shambles Ross family.

Mr. Ross’s illness had also been worn away by these troubles over just a few short years.

"Adam, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"

Mr. Ross’s voice interrupted Charlotte’s reflections. Adam looked pleadingly at Charlotte, pinched Jack and Chad’s little cheeks, and, with hands in pockets, walked towards Mr. Ross.

Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh softly, but her eyes were unusually determined. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noⅴelfire.net

In her heart, Jack and Chad were her children first, and only then the bloodline of the Ross family.

She would do everything in her power to protect their safety and happiness for life.

"Mommy, let’s go home," said Jack, tugging at Charlotte’s hand and gently swaying it.

Charlotte smiled warmly and left the hospital with the two children.

They had barely reached the parking lot when a crisp shout rang out.

Charlotte turned around and saw Grace Thompson and several other children running towards her, causing her to freeze in amazement.

How did these little treasures get here?

Charlotte looked at the children who had gathered around and finally, her gaze landed on Justin Battleson standing beside the car.

He held a coat in his arm and walked over to Charlotte.

"Why did you bring the children here?" Charlotte couldn’t help but ask.

Justin Battleson draped the coat over Charlotte’s shoulders and held her hand in his palm, frowning slightly when he touched her cool fingertips.

"The kids said they wanted to come and have a look; you know how they are," Justin said, but his worried eyes were fixed on Charlotte.

From the beginning, when he learned that Charlotte had gone to the hospital, he had wanted to come over, but Charlotte insisted he stay home to look after the children.

When he heard that Chad was sick, Justin’s heart also clenched.
