Chapter 597: Senile Dentia
Lucas took Alia to William’s ward.
Overjoyed to see Alia, Cheyenne hugged her fragrant, soft, and adorable daughter and kissed her incessantly.
Alia still didn’t know what William’s condition was, and she rely thought that he was sleeping because he was sick. So she even said a lot of childish things to him under Cheyenne’s teaching.
The family of three had a wonderful ti in the hospital ward.
——
anwhile, Karen imdiately called Moses after she was far away from Lucas’s sight.
“What’s going on? Why didn’t you answer my calls just now?” Moses questioned.
Karen thought in displeasure,?If you hadn’t taken your sweet ti going to the kindergarten, would things have turned out this way?
She told him how Lucas had suddenly appeared when she was waiting with Alia at the entrance of the kindergarten and brought Alia to the hospital, which resulted in the failure.
Moses flew into a rage and yelled unceremoniously, “Are you stupid? You can’t even handle such a simple matter! Since I couldn’t arrive in ti, couldn’t you have found a place yourself and taken the kid away first?”
Karen was enraged to be yelled at, and she retorted, “I called you beforehand. If you hadn’t been late, I would have handed Alia to you. What’s the point of yelling at now? How could I have known that Lucas would suddenly appear?!”
“Shut up! I won’t allow you to talk back to !” Moses was infuriated too.
He had indeed gone over at the agreed ti. But his car had suddenly broken down on the way, so he had to move to another car. But halfway through the journey, he had encountered a roadblock due to a traffic accident, leaving him with no choice but to take a detour and end up late.
It wasn’t like he wanted to be late.
Karen was clearly the incompetent one who didn’t even have the common sense to take Alia away. He felt that she was a complete fool!
“Do whatever you must, but you have to hand Lucas’s daughter over to before two tomorrow afternoon! Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!”
“What? Do you know that my granddaughter has already returned to her parents’ side now? How am I supposed to bring her out?” Karen imdiately scread.
Even when she went to pick up Alia from kindergarten today, she had to act like a good mother in front of Cheyenne for a long ti before she could finally get the opportunity to carry out her plan.
But it was the weekend tomorrow, and since Alia wasn’t going to school, it would be impossible for Karen to try and pick her up again!
“Hmph, that’s what you have to think about! Anyway, I must see her before two tomorrow afternoon!” Moses ordered in a commanding tone and hung up before Karen could even say anything.
Karen looked at her phone’s screen, which showed that the call had ended, and was furious.
Moses could actually speak to her in such a commanding tone, yet she had no room to retort because he had evidence against her.
She sulked and thought about it for a long ti before finally coming up with a solution. She then walked toward William’s ward.
Upon returning to the ward, Karen imdiately heard the sound of warm laughter.
Lucas, Cheyenne, and Alia were all sitting by William’s side and chatting. They were laughing non-stop and smiling happily.
But their laughter and smiles were an eyesore to Karen.
She was now living in fear every single day, yet these people opposite her were all smiling happily. It was an utter eyesore to her!
Lucas glanced at Karen and suddenly asked, “Didn’t you just say you were going to buy sothing? What did you buy?”
“…!”
Only then did Karen rember that she had hurried away to call Moses just now under the pretext that she was going to buy sothing. In the end, she was so preoccupied with worrying about how to abduct Alia before noon tomorrow that she forgot to buy anything again!
“Uh… I…” Karen quickly tried to co up with an excuse.
At this mont, Cheyenne frowned slightly and said worriedly, “Mom, did you forget to buy sothing again? You’ve said twice today that you wanted to buy sothing, but you ended up coming back empty-handed. Are you… really exhausted lately? Why don’t you go for a full-body checkup?”
Cheyenne was really worried.
In the afternoon, Karen had said that her mory was failing her because she was getting old. She had even comforted Karen then. But forgetting the sa thing twice within a day was not a good sign.
If she was forgetful because she was exhausted, it wouldn’t be too bad. But if it was because of a disease like senile dentia… it would be terrible!
Thus, Cheyenne felt that it was better to arrange a full body checkup for Karen right away, in case there was really sothing wrong with her. Since the dical expert Maddy was still around, she could help look at Karen’s condition as well.
Karen chuckled wryly and quickly refused, “Nah, I’m fine! I’m just… too worried about your father’s condition, and it’s all that’s been on my mind lately, so I keep forgetting what I have to do. I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry!”
Cheyenne persuaded her a few more tis, but Karen firmly said that there was nothing wrong with her health. Only then did Cheyenne give up for the ti being.
The few of them gathered around Alia to chat for a while more when Cheyenne suddenly smacked her forehead and said to Lucas with so chagrin, “Look at . I almost forgot that it’s the weekend tomorrow! What should we do about Alia? Surely we can’t make her stay with us in the hospital all day, right?”
Although there was a TV in William’s ward, it was usually off because they didn’t want it to be too noisy. Besides, there was no other entertainnt equipnt here. Alia was only a five-year-old child, and she’d definitely be bored out of her mind if she stayed in the hospital for an entire day.
Lucas said, “Why don’t you take Alia ho tomorrow to rest for a day and keep her company? With watching William in the hospital, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Before Cheyenne could say anything, Alia tugged Lucas’s sleeve and pulled Cheyenne’s finger with her other hand. She said aggrievedly, “No, I want to stay with Mommy and Daddy! It’s been so long since we spent ti together! I’ve missed you guys so much!”
Seeing Alia’s eyes, both Lucas and Cheyenne couldn’t reject her.
They had been so busy lately that they didn’t have any ti for their daughter at all. They could only leave her in Grace’s care, which had been making them riddled with guilt. How could they possibly reject her tiny request?
Karen was elated, and she hurriedly said, “You guys have to stay by your father’s side all day. How about I take Alia out tomorrow? She told today that she wanted to go to the amusent park. But I didn’t agree because I thought it was too late to go there today. In the end, she got upset and said she wanted to ignore .”
She shalessly put the bla on the five-year-old Alia just because she was a child. She even revealed the plan that she had just thought of when she was downstairs.
Indeed, her plan was to take advantage of the weekend and take Alia out again!
