Sadie was visiting Brenda at the hospital. She had juste back home.


    Mia waddled over with her plump little legs, bubbling with excitement, "Mommy, Mommy, we''re going out for dinner with Grandpa tonight, and I''d like to wear my pink ballgown. Where''d you put it?" Sadie paused, puzzled. "Grandpa? Which Grandpa?"


    "The Grandpa who took good care of us in the hospital," Mia said, lifting her head innocently. "He''s taking us to the Kids'' Castle for dinner."


    Those words struck Sadie, and suddenly she remembered what Levis had told her: "On our way back, we chatted with some paramedics and found out it was Mr. Clemens from VIC Group. He was so kind to the children, and by the time we left, the children were already attached to him. Mr. Clemens even bought a carload of gifts for the kids."


    Sadie''s face turned pale as she asked the paramedics, "This Grandpa Mia''s talking about, do you know who he is?"


    "It was Grandpa Clemens," said the pediatrician with a chuckle. "Our very own big boss."


    Hearing this, Sadie''s heart pounded with anxiety. She rushed to find Noah and Nathan. "Noah, Nathan."


    "Mommy, we''re over here."


    Noah was ying Legos in the room with Nathan. Both the children were seated on the carpet, assembling a spaceship out of the colorful blocks. "Noah, Nathan, Mommy wants to talk to you. Do you have a moment?" Sadie asked politely.


    "Just a sec." Noah ced thest block on his creation and pped his hands excitedly. "Done!"


    "Noah, you''re amazing." Nathan looked at Noah with admiration. "I tried so long to make that spaceship and couldn''t do it, but you finished it so fast."


    "Ha, I''ll show you next time," Noah said confidently, dusting off his hands and turning to Sadie. "Okay, Mommy, I''m ready now!"


    "Mommy, what''s wrong?" Mia followed, her chubby little face looking up in confusion. "Don''t you want us to have dinner with Grandpa?"


    "No, it''s not that..."


    Sadie closed the door. She sat on the carpet, pulling Mia into herp, and enquired, "How did you get to know that Grandpa? And what really happened to Nathan''s leg? Levis and Miss Bell told me the gist, but Mommy wishes to hear it from you."


    "It was Grandpa''s driver who identally hit me, but they didn''t do it on purpose."


    "Mommy, Grandpa has been so nice to us..."


    "Yeah, he came to the hospital to visit us every day and bought us lots of stuff. Grandpa even said he''d be our guardian. If someone bullied us, he''d take care of them..." "That''s right, he did say that."


    "Stop!" Noah cut off Nathan and Mia''s chatter. "Let me exin."


    "Okay," Sadie nodded eagerly. "Go ahead, Noah."


    Then Noah recounted the events of that day after school, all the details in the hospital, and even the unexpected appearance of Micah.


    As Sadie listened, her heart skipped with both concern and shock. She hadn''t realized the kids had encountered so much in just two days, and that incidentally, they had met Micah at the hospital. But if this was the reality of their story, then Grandpa Clemens probably wasn''t aware of their true identity, and the car ident was just that an ident.
