Chapter 896: Chapter 896

Similarly, Justin Battleson could imagine how distraught Charlotte must have felt at that time.

"Chad, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"Big brother Chad, what did the doctor say?"

"Chad, let’s stay in the hospital a bit longer."

At this moment, the children had all gathered around Chad, each of them asking about his condition with concern.

"Did someone bully you!" Grace blurted out as if something had occurred to her.

The children shared an unspoken understanding.

Previously, the Ross family had forcefully taken Jack and Chad, and then they had heard that Chad had fallen ill.

Despite being so young, the children couldn’t help but be suspicious about the connection between these events.

Initially, Hank wanted to continue speaking based on Grace’s comment, but Cyrus nudged him with his elbow and gently shook his head.

Hank stopped himself mid-sentence.

Seeing this, Chad quickly shook his head, then puffed out his chest and declared, "I’m fine, you don’t need to worry, it’s just a common cold."

After speaking, Chad looked over at Charlotte, then walked over and took her hand.

"Mommy, you’ve been taking care of me since yesterday without proper rest, let’s go home soon. Don’t get sick, Mommy."

His obedient appearance softened Charlotte’s heart, and she bent down to ruffle Chad’s hair, speaking tenderly, "As long as you’re fine, Mommy is relieved."

Charlotte would rather bear the illness herself than let her children suffer through it.

Just thinking about how haggard Chad looked when she saw him yesterday made Charlotte’s heart ache.

"Let’s go home, your great-grandmother has been very worried about you."

Justin spoke at the right moment, and the children, hand in hand, got into the car.

Justin’s fingertip grazed Charlotte’s cheek, looking at her with a touch of heartache, "You don’t have to wear yourself out in the future, you still have me."

Charlotte clasped Justin’s hand in return and nodded at him.

Justin drove, taking Charlotte and the children back to Stardust Garden, while Jasmine Clarkson had been waiting outside Stardust Garden for some time.

As the children got out of the car, she hurried forward.

"Let great-grandma take a look at you, how did you get sick?"

Jasmine beckoned to Chad, and when he approached her, she quickly pulled the child into her embrace.

She had only learned yesterday that Steven Ross from the Ross family had actually gone straight to Justin and Charlotte to take the two children back to the Ross Mansion.

Jasmine was so furious she nearly stormed over to the Ross Mansion herself. Read complete version only at novel⁂fire.net

Seeing Chad’s slightly pale face and the needle marks on the back of his hand intensified the fire brewing in Jasmine’s belly.

"That damn old man Steven Ross, how dare he treat my precious great-grandchildren like that! It infuriates me!" Jasmine ranted, unable to contain her anger.

The children had never seen their usually amiable great-grandmother so irate and gathered around to comfort her.

Chad, being closest to Jasmine, quickly stretched out his hand, pretending to help smooth Jasmine’s energy.

"Great-grandma, Chad is all right, see, I’m standing right before you, healthy and well. It’s just a common cold, you don’t need to worry."

However, these few comforting words did little to lessen Jasmine’s fury. She gently stroked the back of Chad’s hand, fearful of causing him pain, her face showing nothing but tenderness.

"If anything serious happened to you, great-grandma would never forgive those people of the Ross family!"

While saying this, Jasmine’s mind was already pondering other thoughts silently.
