Sweet Twins

Chapter 621 Being Blind

"Charles just wanted to give it to you for free. Why didn't you accept it? If you accept it, I am willing to give you one hundred thousand Yuan for the watch. Why didn't you take it?" someone said.

The old woman's face dimmed.

"Is it really that valuable?" the shop owner asked in disbelief.

"Why would we lie to you? You are just a shop owner who sells buns. You are really… I really don't know what to say about you." Someone let out an exasperated sigh.

"Then I'll go after Charles and tell him to get back," the shop owner said as he was about to leave.

"He already left. How are you going to chase after him?" someone asked while laughing at the shop owner.

"Humph! Old man, I've been living a hard life because I followed you all my life. You are blind. You can't see the god of wealth even if he's in front of you. Now that he's gone, where are you going to look for him?" The shop owner's wife was so upset that she burst into tears.

"I… Didn't you ask me to call the police?" The shop owner wanted to hit the wall in regret as his wife complained about him.

"I asked you to call the police, not to refuse Charles' watch," the old woman sobbed.

"Well, stop arguing with each other. Charles is gone, and the money is lost too. Forget it, this matter is over. I think we'd better leave now." Someone persuaded the couple to stop quarrelling.

"Let's go. Let's go."

The crowd dispersed momentarily.

Meanwhile, Charles had arrived at his company.

As soon as he entered the CEO's office, Hiram rushed in.

"What's wrong? Why are you in a hurry?" Charles opened a file and asked casually.

"Mr. Fu, what are you doing today? We tried to call you several times, but you weren't answering your phone. Where have you been?" Hiram said anxiously.

Charles rubbed his forehead. He thought that Hiram might find what he did ridiculous, so he said perfunctorily, "I fell asleep and left my phone at home. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Nothing serious. The main thing is that Miss Ning called for you, and she sounded distressed," said Hiram.

"Nancy? Didn't she say anything?" Charles asked.

"No, but you'd better call her back now," Hiram answered, handing over his phone.

Charles took it and immediately dialed Nancy's phone number.

Nancy knew that Nadia had been sent to the gastroenterology department by her kindergarten teacher, but Nancy couldn't attend to her for the time being. When she saw the phone call from him, she immediately answered it.

"Are you looking for me?" Charles said in a low voice. He still felt a little aggrieved after being turned away by Nancy last night.

"Nadia threw up in the kindergarten. I thought you were missing. The kids are gone. Why didn't you take care of them?" Nancy asked angrily.

"What do you mean I don't care? I went to see you last night, but you turned a blind eye on me. Why did you ignore me? You didn't even open the door for me!" Charles retorted. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He stood up from his chair and left the office. Nadia must have eaten something bad.

He felt sorry for Nadia, but he still blamed Nancy a little.

"You looked for me? Why didn't I know about this?" At this point, Nancy had no choice but to pretend to be confused. Otherwise, she would have to admit that she intentionally shut him out.

In this way, it would make her seem passive instead.

Therefore, Nancy acted confused.

"Well, Nancy, you are good at playing dumb, aren't you? I can accept it. Now tell me, what's wrong with Nadia? She was fine last night. Why did she throw up in the kindergarten today?" Charles questioned, his voice sounded commanding.

"I do not know all the details. Nadia had been sent to the gastroenterology department by her kindergarten teacher. I can't leave. Come here quickly," urged Nancy.

"How busy are you, Nancy? It's like you don't even have time for your children. If your work is a burden to you, why don't you resign?" Charles scolded while walking.

"Charles, you must have mistaken your identity, haven't you? Let me remind you that we don't have any relationship right now. You are the father of two children at most. You have nothing to do with me, so please treat me with respect. I will arrange my work, which is none of your concern. Do you understand?" Looking at Nana, who was sleeping soundly, Nancy was dismayed that Charles did not understand her work at all. Instead, he even put pressure on her.

What did he mean? Why did he look forward to her resignation so much?

If she lost her income, she would be like a bird without wings. Being unable to fly would give Charles a reason to manipulate her. Was that what he wanted?

She did not want to be controlled by Charles!

"Nancy, I also want you to figure out who you are. You're not just a doctor; you're also a mother. Which is more important? I don't think you need me to remind you, right?" Charles was too worried about Nadia, so he had to be a little harsh on Nancy.

"You are being unreasonable, Charles. I don't want to waste time talking to you." Nancy hung up the moment she finished speaking.

Charles pursed his thin lips in anger. His face was the epitome of coldness.

"Damn you, Charles! You are such an unreasonable man. You want me to give up my career and listen to you obediently. No way! Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of woman. I don't want to listen to you. Go find someone else!" Nancy murmured to herself in anger.

Suddenly, the door of Nana's ward opened as Rick rushed in.

"Nancy, what's going on?" Rick asked in bewilderment.

"Oh, Rick." She stood up quickly. "Look at Nana. She is hurting herself as well as the doctors and nurses. She is ill-tempered like a beast. Today, the doctor was forced to inject a sedative on her. Now, she is asleep." Nancy sighed helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong with her. The medicine doesn't work anymore, and her psychological condition is becoming worse. Alas!"

Rick came over and touched Nana's forehead to make sure that her temperature was normal. Then, he gently opened Nana's eyes.

"Okay, I see. I'll ask the nurse now. Wait for me here." Rick walked out after he finished speaking.

Nancy sat down and held Nana's hand. "Nana, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Unfortunately, she could not answer her because she was sleeping soundly.

Rick arrived at the nurse's station.

The nurses were making prescriptions in the medicine room.

Rick politely knocked on the door when he saw that they were busy.

The nurses raised their heads and saw him. "Dr. Rick, you must be here for Nana, right?"

"Yes, I want to have a look at the medicine you gave Nana. It was a bottle of white pills I left behind last time I came here," said Rick.
