Chapter 564


    "Umm, Ben?" Zachary coldly stared at him.


    "I dare not." Ben hurriedly bowed his head in apology, somewhat reluctantly.


    Sensing its victory, Fifi shook its hips triumphantly, fluttered its wings, and flew over once more to Ben''s


    head. Raking his hair with its ws and treating his head as its nest, it promptly perched down after a


    while.


    Such a unting disy of arrogance and dominance -ing from a mere parrot!


    Ben''s face darkened, unhappy to be defeated by a mere bird. He rolled his eyes upward and stared at


    the sted bird perchedfortably on his head, wishing to throw it into a nice pot of hot stew...


    Witnessing the whole episode in front of his eyes,


    Bruce could barely contain his guffaw, and let loose hisughter with a loud snort. "Bwahahaha! This


    little parrot is quite a human. Hahahaha!"


    "One of these days..." Before Ben could finish grumbling, Fifi perked up and postured itself to squawk a


    Taking a deep breath, Ben had no other choice but to swallow his pride and his gripe. No matter what,


    the sted bird was now his master.


    Better not mess with it!


    After changing into their istion gown, Zachary and the children stepped out of the decontamination


    chamber into the istion ward.


    "I''m already fully awake. Why am I still locked in this ursed ward? Just transfer me out, stat! I''m not


    that vulnerable, you hear?"


    Just as they stepped in, they heard the unhappyint of old Henry.


    Although he had not been fully healed from his serious illness yet, and his voice was not as energetic


    as before, he was still filled with quite the vigor.


    The doctor and the health specialist standing next to him hurriedlyforted, "Don''t worry, Mr. Nacht.

    We''ve already done a full-body detailed scan on you this morning. When the results of the scane


    out, as long as all the parameters are okay, I assure you we will immediately transfer you to the general


    ward."


    "Why bother with all the troubles. Now listen, y''all, when I said I want to get transferred, I expect y''all to


    get it done right away..."


    "Grandpa!" Little Ellie''s cute voice rang out, interrupting Henry''s sentence halfway.


    Old Henry was jolted from his grumbling. Turning to look, he was overjoyed at the pleasant sight.


    "Ellie! Robbie! Jamie!..."


    "Grandpa!"


    "Grandpa!"


    The trio shoved Zachary''s hands away and rushed over excitedly to Henry''s side.


    "Grandpa, you''re finally awake..." Robbie''s eyes were red and he nearly choked with tears. "Every time


    we dropped by to see you, you were always sleeping. We''re so anxious and really hoped for you to


    wake up soon."


    "I''m awake. I''m awake. Dear old me ain''t be sleeping no more." Shaking Robbie''s hand excitedly, the


    old man said, "It''s a d of thing to see y''all the first thing I wake up!"


    "Grandpa, you promised to take me to y serst time." Jamie''s eyes were red, but he had a big


    and bright smile on his face. "Now that you''re awake, you''ll fulfill your promise, yes?"


    "Of course," the old man uttered with a smile as he asked, "How''s your tiny foot doing? Better?"


    "Almost healed," Jamie raised up his leg to show the old man. "The cast has been removed, along with


    the splint. I''m healed enough to climb the stairs unassisted."


    "Hahaha, awesome!" Old Henryughed heartily. "The moment I''m discharged from this sted ce,


    I''ll take Jamie along for some ball-kicking."


    "Hey, Grandpa! You''ve said you''re going to take me to Disnend to see the princesses." Not wanting


    to be left out, Ellie grabbed old Henry''s hand and squeaked childishly. "Your words still count, yes?"


    "Hohoho! Of course, my dear!" Old Henry nodded repeatedly. "The minute I''m outta'' here, I''ll whisk


    dear Ellie away to the good of magical world of Disnend in a jiffy!"


    "Thanks, Grandpa..." Ellie said as she raised up her chubby small hands and cheered, "All hail


    Grandpa! Long live Grandpa!"


    "Hahaha. If I were to live a thousand years wouldn''t I end up an old geezerter, aye?" old Henry


    remarked in a jocr fashion.


    "Naw, Grandpa won''t be an old geezer. Grandpa will always be the best! Hip hurray!" Tilting her head,


    Ellie said with a serious face, "Grandpa must watch us grow up, okay? We still want to honor you for


    years toe!"


    "Good, good! Good kids, y''all are!" old Henry nodded joyously, feeling his eyes slightly wet.


    Due to aging, or perhaps having gone through life and near-death experiences, he had be a more


    sentimental person. Whenever he would see children, he would be easily touched. I''ve be a big


    ol1 softie, haven''t I?


    "Gee, grandpa. ying favorites now, are you?" Zachary sourly noted before continuing in feigned


    jealousy, "The moment you have greatgrandchildren, you don''t care about your grandson anymore!"
