Chapter 272 Taking Back The Children


    "Mary... Mary..."


    In his sleep, William frowned and murmured to himself. As he called Mary''s name, he suddenly


    became excited, and he clutched his hands into fists.


    "Ugh." Sitting at the edge of the bed, Lucas sighed silently and decided to pack his things up.


    "Mary!" All of a sudden, a loud scream came from William. He jolted awake as he screamed her


    name.


    "You''re awake." Seeing him wake up, Lucas sat at the edge of the bed again.


    "Where am I?" William asked as if in a daze. Frowning, he looked around the room. "Why are you


    here?"


    "This is your home. I''m here to perform a surgery on you," answered Lucas expressionlessly.


    "Where is Mary? Is she here?" William had just woken so he was a bit sluggish. He tried to sit up


    but it was difficult for him.


    "Why are you so excited?" Lucas hurriedly helped him up and continued, "Mary is not here. You


    made her angry so she ran away. Have you forgotten what you did to her?"


    William''s Adam''s apple rolled up and down. He did not forget. How could he forget?


    "I want to see her!" William lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.


    "Don''t." Lucas stopped him at once. He pointed at the IV bag beside his bed and said, "The infusion


    is not finished yet. Also, your body hasn''t fully recovered. Besides, even if you go to Mary, she


    doesn''t want to see you."


    "I know she doesn''t want to see me," said William, who slumped onto a pillow on the bed and


    scratched his head with one hand. "But if I don''t go, she wouldn''t see me. I was... I just said


    something without thinking. She will understand!"


    "No woman can understand, William." Lucas pointed at him and enumerated his sins in a loud


    voice. "You have someone else in your heart. You pped her. She watched the videos in which


    you had sex with other women. How do you want her to understand all these?"


    Hearing what Lucas had said, William frowned. "Now, you cannot pretend to be pitiful anymore. You


    need to take actual action to resolve the problems! Why are you so stupid anyway?


    Why don''t you find the man behind all this? Huh? You''re just gonna let those videos spread? What a


    fool!" The more Lucas spoke, the more excited he became. "If you don''t resolve these things, what


    if they appear again in the future? Or you don''t want to resolve them at all?"


    "Of course I want to resolve them!" William red at him and continued, "Four years ago, I failed to


    figure out my feelings so I lost Mary. And now, I can''t make another mistake!"


    "Fortunately, you still have your awareness!" Lucas put away the medicine box and said, "I''m


    leaving. If you feel ufortable, call your doctor."


    After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to face the stunned William. "Have you


    figured out who manipted all of this?"


    Seeing that William was not saying a word, Lucas shook his head disappointingly. With that, he


    turned around and left.


    Frank...


    William raised his head and looked at the IV drip that was connected to his hand. A dim light shed


    in his eyes. At that moment, no one would guess what he was thinking.


    In Barry''s vi.


    "Mary, where are you going?" In the living room, Barry saw Marye downstairs in a hurry so he


    asked her, "Are you going out?"


    "Yep." Mary nodded and replied fast, "I have to go to R Town to pick up Alick and Elissa."


    "Why are you in such a hurry?" Barry quickly asked, "How about you eat something first?"


    "Yes," Hester chimed in. She came over with a bowl of chicken soup and said, "I just made some


    chicken soup. You could have some before you leave so you won''t be hungry."


    Unable to refuse the kindness of the two, Mary gave in. She took a spoonful of chicken soup and


    brought it to her mouth. However, as soon as she smelled the heavy smell of oil, she retched.


    "argh!"


    Hester frowned and took the chicken soup back to the kitchen.


    "What''s wrong?" Barry held her with concern and smoothed her back.


    "I''m fine," answered Mary while waving her hand. "I just don''t want to eat. Maybe I''m just too tired


    today and not in the mood to eat."


    "Are you really okay?" Barry looked at her worriedly. "Let me go with you when you pick up the two


    kids."


    "No. You don''t have to! I can go there myself!" Mary shook her head in refusal. She thought it was


    not appropriate for Barry to go to the house of the Lan Family. Barry did not disagree further. He


    understood her and so he just yielded. "Fine, I''ll ask Robert to take you there."


    "Okay." Mary nodded in agreement. "After I pick up Alick and Elissa, Robert can drive the car back


    so I won''t have to take another ride."


    "Are you noting back?" Barry was shocked at her response. "Where are you going if you don''t


    come back?" he asked wide-eyed.


    "I''ll go to a hotel and stay there for a while." Mary smiled at him, but sadness was obvious in her


    eyes. ''I''ve been back in China for such a long time, but I don''t even have a ce that belongs to


    me.''


    "I''m worried about you. Besides, what do you have with you?" Barry fumbled around, took out his


    cell phone and put it into Mary''s hand. "When I brought you back today, you didn''t even have a cell


    phone with you."


    "Mary, why are you so polite to me? Do you want me to be worried to death?" Barry frowned at her


    and added, "If you don''te back, I''ll personally pick you and the children up."


    "Okay." Mary nodded. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. Since Barry was willing to


    help her, she could use a little help. For once, she could just be a little woman and hide behind him


    without any worries. "Come back early. Call me if you need anything. I''ll be right here. I won''t leave."


    "Okay."


    Mary went out with Robert. After sending her away, Barry returned to the living room and called the


    jewelry store.


    "Correct... A wedding ring... Bring it to me now. .. Alright, thank you."


    "Grandpa, hurry up! There are so many chess pieces over there with Alick!"


    The house of the Lan Family in R Town was brightly lit. Standing next to Alick, Elissa watched as


    her brother yed chess with their grandfather.


    "Elissa,e and have a ss of juice. Grandma just made it!" Amy came over carrying a tray with


    few sses of orange juice.


    "Yeah!" Elissa bounced up and down and took the juice happily.


    "I will capture Grandpa''s piece!" Alick grabbed a chess piece with his little hand and pressed it onto


    his opponent''s.


    Timothy raised his eyebrows and said, "Alick, your elephant ran too far. It even crossed the river."


    "An elephant can cross the river!" Alick raised his head and answered proudly. "Alick is right!" Elissa


    echoed while nodding. "I saw it on TV. The trunk of an elephant can even spray water."


    "That''s right. Both of Alick and Elissa are right." Amy sat on the sofa with a smile. "Your Grandpa


    lost."


    "Yeah!"


    "Yeah!"


    "Ha ha!" Timothyughed with them. "Grandpa lost!"


    The living room was filled with joy and peace. Suddenly, the butler came in and said, "Mr. Lan, Mrs.


    Lan, Mary is here."


    "Who''s here?" Elissa tilted her head and asked innocently.


    "Ha ha! Your mommy is here, silly girl!" Amy smiled and said, "Let Marye in."


    "Mommy is here!" Hearing this, Alick jumped off the sofa and ran out to wee his mom.


    "Alick, wait for me!" Elissa followed him immediately.


    "They''re still attached to their mother. How cute! " Timothy stood up and followed the kids with a


    smile.


    "Mommy!" "Mommy!"


    Outside the house, after taking a few steps, Mary saw two kids pouncing on her, attacking her with


    hugs and kisses.


    "Good babies." Mary gave them gentle kisses, and the three of them hugged each other.


    "Didn''t Dade?" Elissa blinked her eyes and looked at the car that was parked just near the


    entrance


    Dad? Yes, in the children''s eyes, William was still their father.


    "Dad..." The corners of Mary''s mouth twitched in disdain. "He didn''te."


    "Dad must be very busy! Mommy, we will see him at home tonight, right?" Alick sounded like an


    adult. "Mommy, am I right?" he repeated.


    "Yes, yes."


    "Mary, why are you still in the yard? Come on in! " Amy came out and said, "It''s autumn now. The


    wind is strong at night."


    "Aunt Amy!" Mary stood up and replied, "I... I won''t go in. I''ll take them back now. We''re going


    home."This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "Why are you in such a hurry?" Amy went up to her and asked her suspiciously.


    "It''s toote. That''s why we have to go as early as possible." Mary smiled at her kindly. How could


    she say anything about her rtionship with William?


    "You are right."


    "Mary, bring Alick and Elissa to us more often in the future!" Timothy walked out and smiled at her. "I


    don''t even want them to go home!" he added.


    "Yes, I will." Mary nodded with a smile, but her heart was filled with sadness and sorrow. ''I''m sorry,


    Father. I''m sorry, Aunt Amy.''


    "Then hurry up and leave now. It''s toote. We''ll be more worried if you goter!"


    "What''s wrong with that brat William?" Timothy asked while shaking his head. "How could he let


    Marye alone?"


    "Say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma!" Mary touched the heads of the two kids and pretended


    not to hear what Timothy had said.


    "Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma!"


    "Grandpa and Grandma, I wille back again!"


    "Okay, okay!"


    "Then... Father, Aunt Amy, goodbye! Take care." However, when Mary turned around with the two


    children, she saw a car stop in front of her with a squeak. William!


    When she saw the person on the driver''s seat, Mary felt frightened so she took a step forward and


    stood in front of Alick and Elissa.


    "Mary!" William got off the car and his eyes lit up. He was not expecting that he would see Mary


    here.


    After finishing his infusion at the vi, he could not wait to visit Andy in prison. After that, he went to


    see Beth. When he thought that he had finally figured out everything, he came here to take the two


    children back. For the sake of the children, he knew Mary would meet him. However, he did not


    expect that she woulde to the family house faster than him.


    "Dad!"


    "Dad is here!"


    The two kids had not seen William for a few days. As soon as they saw him, they both rushed to


    him to ask for his hug.


    "Alick and Elissa!" William was moved that his kids had missed him. As he was about to pick them


    up, Mary suddenly shouted, "Don''t touch them!"


    Hearing that, William immediately stopped what he was doing and stepped back. He could do


    nothing but watch Mary pull them back and stand in front of them like a hen protecting her chicks.


    "Mary," William called her painfully.


    "What happened?" Amy came over and saw that there was something wrong between the two


    adults. "Did you have a fight?" she asked.


    "William, how did you offend your children''s mother again?" Timothy asked seriously.


    Mary turned her head away in disgust and said, "Father, Aunt Amy, I''m leaving now!" She was


    adamant to avoid William''s gaze.


    "Wait a moment!" William stood in front of her and grabbed her hand suddenly. "Let''s go. I''ll take


    you to somewhere."


    "No! Let go of me! You are so disgusting! Don''t touch me! I said let go of me!" Mary shouted and


    struggled to get rid of his grasp desperately.


    "Father, Aunt Amy, please take care of the children first. I have to leave with Mary now!" After


    saying that, William pulled her and stuffed her into his car.


    The car left in a sh, leaving the two elders and two kids looking at each other.
