Micah''s grandfatherGrandpa slowly lifted the corners of his mouth, struggling to utter a single word, "Good..."


    "Grandpa..." Mia couldn''t control her emotions, her shoulders shaking as she cried, "Grandpa, I won''t ask for piggyback rides anymore, just get better soon, and I''ll take you out for toast." "Mia, don''t cry," Nathan tried to console her, but he started crying himself. "Grandpa, I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have been so mischievous and insisted on you always ying with us. You must be too tired." "What''s gotten into you two?" Noah put on his big brother act, sternly scolding them, "Didn''t we agree before we came here? No crying, no crying-why can''t you listen?" "I''m not crying, I''m not," said Nathan.


    He hurriedly took deep breaths to steady his emotions and wiped his tears with his hands.


    Mia too pursed her lips, holding back her tears from spilling out.


    Seeing this, Ss quickly coaxed the children, "Alright, my little darlings, let''s not disturb Grandpa''s rest. How about ISs takes you out for now?"


    "Oh!" The three children nodded obediently.


    "Say goodbye to Grandpa," Ss reminded them.


    "Bye Grandpa!, Wwe''lle see you again, and I''ll bring you toast next time."


    "Grandpa, get better soon, okay? I am waiting for you to y ser with me."


    "Bye, Grandpa..."


    Ss led the three children out of the hospital room., "Kiddos, you rest in the lounge for a bit, and ISs will wrap up some things ande over, then take you back home." "Okay, Ss, go ahead."


    The children nodded obediently.


    Several doctors and nurses were there to take care of them, providing them with desserts and juice.


    Ss went to talk with Micah about his grandfatherGrandpa''s situation., and a As he approached the office door, Micah suddenly burst out, almost knocking Ss to the ground. "Ouch..." Ss hit the wall, clutching his chest, and he said in pain, "Micah, you nearly knocked old bones like me into pieces..."


    Before he could finish, Micah had hurried off, anxiously pressing the elevator button.


    "Micah, where are you rushing off to?" Ss quickly followed. "I need to discuss something with you..."


    "Without my orders, no one is allowed to visit Grandpa, understood?"


    Micah left those words behind and entered the elevator in haste.


    Just as the elevator doors were about to close, he suddenly stopped them with his hand and asked, "What about the three kids?"


    "They''re in the lounge. I was nning to take them back home shortly..."


    "Don''t take them back," Micahmanded. "Before Grandpa wakes up, keep them with you."


    "Huh?" Ss was momentarily stunned, then quickly asked, "What happened exactly?"


    Micah didn''t reply but let go, allowing the elevator doors to close.


    Ss''s expression grew serious, sensing something was amiss. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to follow Micah''s instructions.


    A subordinate began, "Mr. Ss, the car is ready. Should I take the three kids back to Blissful Lane 1..." a subordinate began.


    "No need," Ss interrupted. "I''ll take them to Mr. Clemens Sr.''sGrandpa''s ce. Have someone prepare some children''s necessities."


    "Right away," the subordinate responded and promptly left to carry out the tasks.


    Ss went to the lounge where the three children were sitting on the sofa, appearing dejected, with untouched desserts and juice on the table.


    "Ss, can we go home now?" Noah got up immediately upon seeing Ss approach.


    "Kids, I haveSs has something to discuss with you," Ss crouched down and addressed the three children. "For a while, could you stay at Grandpa''s house? That way, when Grandpa gets well, he''ll be able to see you right away." "Well..." Nathan and Mia both looked at Noah. They usually turned to their eldest brother for decisions on such matters.


    "I need to ask my mommy," Noah replied maturely. "I need her permission first."


    "Good kid." Ss patted Noah''s shoulder encouragingly. "How about we step outside to call your mom?"


    "Okay."
