Central Hospital.
Nellie sat on a bench and swung her legs as she sucked on a lollipop.
She looked through the glass window with her huge black eyes. Joshua was struggling to pin a young
child down to let the doctor take blood.
“Uncle Lucas, is Daddy in a bad mood today?“
It was the weekend. Nellie and Neil finally did not need to go to kindergarten. They planned to sleep in,
but Joshua rushed into their rooms early in the morning and dragged them to the hospital for a body
checkup.
That went especially for Neil.
He went through more tests than she did.
Lucas did not know how to explain to Nellie. He could only wipe off his sweat. “Uh…perhaps President
Lynch thinks that it’s time for both of you to have a body checkup…“
In truth, Lucas also did not know what Joshua was up to.
When he arrived at Lynch Group that morning, he saw Alice gathering with a few other men by the
entrance, talking among themselves.
Lucas thought that Alice was checking up on him. After all, Joshua was not home nor was he working
late the night before, so Lucas anxiously called Joshua and told him that Alice was looking for him at his
office. He asked Joshua whether he should fetch him to the office.
When he picked Joshua up, Joshua insisted on being brought back home. He was not in a rush to head
to the office.
They then arrived at the hospital, starting this long process of body checkup.
“Why does Neil have more tests than me?“
Nellie sucked on her lollipop as she watched the father-and-son pair almost in a brawl inside.
“Neil hates body checkups the most. I’m a little better. Why is Daddy trying to make things difficult for
him?“
Lucas wiped the sweat off his forehead once again. “Uh…“
He was just as clueless.
Joshua got Neil to do all tests for all sicknesses, including leukemia and even cancer.
Neil was always active. How could Joshua think he would be sick?
“I’m not doing it!“ In the sample room, when he heard that the doctor still had another test to do, Neil was
infuriated.
“Joshua Lynch, what are you trying to do? I’m still in good health. Why are you doing so many tests on
me?“
Even his brother, Nigel never did that many tests. Was Joshua crazy? He could have slept in during the
weekend, yet he just had to drag him for these tests. Two whole hours, yet he was not done at all!
Joshua looked at him coldly. “You, in good health? “
“Of course! ” Neil helplessly rolled his eyes at him. “I rarely have had the flu since I was young!”
Joshua chuckled. He took his phone out and showed Neil a photo of a boy in a striped hospital gown
lying on the bed.
“Care to explain?”
Neil took the phone over and had a look. The moment he saw the photo, he finally understood
what the hell Joshua was up to. He saw Nigel’s photo.
Nigel and Neil were identical twins. They looked the same, so Joshua mistook him for Nigel.
Neil took a deep breath. “Yes, it is me. So?”
Joshua sneered. “Didn’t you say that you rarely have the flu?”
“Because I rarely have the flu, that is why when I have it, it’s always severe and I need to be admitted
into the hospital.”
He pouted. “Why do you have a picture of me when I’m sick? It’s hideous.”
