Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Chapter 607: This Is Your Grandchild



Stacy raised her hand just now, but she loosened her grip and withdrew her hand when it caught Hazel’s sleeve.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She did this several times.

“Maybe it is just because Stacy is expressing her unhappiness?” Ted guessed casually.

However, he did not expect that he would be right. But what happened next made him very unhappy.

“Are you angry…” Hazel looked at her guiltily like a child who had done something wrong. “I know that, but…”

With that, Hazel subconsciously glanced over her shoulder at Ted, and then she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind. “Okay, Okay, don’t get mad. I’ll correct myself. Mom…”

As soon as Stacy heard her last word, Stacy’s glassy eyes suddenly brightened. The next moment, she put the hand which she had withdrawn on Hazel’s palm.

“Mr. King is right,” said Joshua in a sarcastic voice, without hesitation. “I never expected mom’s memory to be so good. When Hazel came to visit her, Hazel already called her mom. So my mom got used to it. Presumably, it was because she heard Hazel suddenly call her Aunt Stacy that she was pissed off?”

“Do you know that?” Ted was furious as he felt his face burning.

“Of course,” said Joshua, looking at Hazel with tender eyes. “I love Hazel, so I want to know everything about her. I would try hard to understand and experience everything she has experienced. I wouldn’t ignore her past. Otherwise… it would be only she who suffers alone, but I know nothing like a fool?”

Clearly, his last remark had hidden meaning. When Ted heard that, he looked even paler. But even if he wanted to retort, he didn’t know what he should say!

He didn’t investigate Stacy’s past for over twenty years indeed. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare. He was afraid to know what hellish torture Stacy had been through because of his momentary oversight. He was afraid that if he knew that, he would offer an apology by dying in front of Stacy. But how could his death be enough since Stacy was so sick? He didn’t even deserve to die now.

“Mom, are you still angry that I haven’t come to visit you for so long?” Hazel said softly as if she was trying to soothe a child. “Don’t be angry. There’s a reason for that. Come on, feel it.”

With that, Hazel gently held Stacy’s hand and placed it on her belly. “Do you feel it?”

Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy. “I’m pregnant! This is your grandchild! It is super well-behaved and has nearly disturbed me. I guess it may be a daughter, which is your granddaughter. If so, I hope her eyes would look like yours! You have very pretty eyes, mom…”

Stacy’s eyes seemed to light up a bit as Hazel spoke ceaselessly.

Stacy rubbed her hand back and forth on Hazel’s belly very gently. But Stacy had more movements in such a short time than she had had in months!

“Ah…! Mom, do you feel it?” Hazel’s face was suddenly full of surprises. “The baby just moved! It’s greeting you!”

All of a sudden, Stacy’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners!

It was just that her movement range was so small that Hazel wondered if she had had an illusion!

“Josh-Josh-Joshua!” Hazel looked incredulously in Joshua’s direction. “Did I — did I just see that wrong? Mom… smiled?!”

“Hazel, you are right.” Joshua’s eyes were filled with gentle smiles, and he said in a serious tone, “Mom did smile, and I saw it.”

Ted felt really uncomfortable in the heart.

How eagerly he expected Stacy to get better, but when Stacy got better, she smiled at Hazel instead of him!

When he thought of this, he felt a little jealousy in his heart.

“Mr. King,” said Joshua, looking at him with a glint, “I remembered you said you wouldn’t object if my mother accepted Hazel. Do you remember that?”

Ted found him even more gloomy.

He said it, of course, and twenty minutes hadn’t passed since he had said that. How could he possibly forget?

But he had never expected Hazel would really win Stacy’s favor! The handshake, the smile. All of that could be counted as Stacy accepting Hazel! But now he had to be thick-skinned!

“I won’t forget what I said,” Ted spoke in a deep voice. “But you know about your mother’s current situation. I only hope she can accept you together when she is conscious.”

Joshua’s eyes flashed with sarcasm. He had expected that Ted would not admit what he had said and would find reasons to back off from his commitment.

Ted found Hazel was useful, so he wanted to use her to treat Stacy. Even if Stacy was cured, Ted would kick out Hazel like he treated Elise Flores before.

Ted was too stubborn. He was so stubborn that he would continue going on his wrong way. If he did not have a severe fall and didn’t doubt his life, he would never feel that he was wrong and would never regret it!

“They get along well. Let’s go for a walk,” Ted broke the ice.

He turned to go. Joshua looked at his back with deep eyes before turning his head to look at Hazel, who met his eyes and mouthed, “Go ahead!”

Joshua nodded and eventually followed her.

Hazel talked to Stacy for a while, then helped her back to her room.

When Ted and Joshua returned, they found Hazel sitting in the living room with Stacy. But Hazel had a bowl of congee in her hand, and she was feeding Stacy by the spoonful.

“What are you doing?!” Ted strode forward in horror. “What did you feed Stacy?”

He wanted to hit the bowl with one hand, but as he lifted his hand, Joshua grabbed his wrist.

“Mr. King, what are you doing!” Joshua said in a deep voice.

“Joshua! I’m warning you, if anything happens to Stacy, I won’t let Hazel go!” Ted yelled in exasperation.

Joshua’s face was very gloomy as he spoke in a cold voice, “With me around, you’ll have no chance to hurt her!”

“Come on, do you both have to do that?” Hazel’s lips twitched. “It isn’t just a bowl of congee with shredded chicken. It’s your cook who cooked it himself. Even if you let me cook it, I can’t cook!”

Ted froze as he suddenly remembered that Hazel nearly exploded the kitchen when she boiled eggs. Hence, she couldn’t cook the congee.
