“You!” Bryan bellowed, his face livid with rage as veins popped out on his neck.
All of a sudden, Darius' voice rang out. “Let him in!”
With that, Bryan glared at Shaun and pulled Susanna into the room.
As soon as he saw Benjamin, he let out a snort of disgust and turned to Darius.
“Dad, do you see what Benjamin's doing? He's making it difficult for us to visit you. I can't believe he
even got his bodyguard to get in our way! Must he treat us like outsiders?”
Darius stared at the enraged Bryan, his gaze stern and harsh.
“Benjamin means well. All he wants is for me to get a good rest. You guys, on the other hand, haven't
stopped shouting ever since you got here.”
“That's only because he stopped us from coming in!” Bryan fumed.
“So? What are you two doing here?” Darius asked warily.
Before Bryan could reply, Susanna tugged at his arm and beat him to it. “We've come to see you, Dad.
Are you feeling better?” she asked with concern.
“Yes, I'm much better. Now that you've seen me, you can take your leave. Don't bother coming back
again!” Darius snapped, clearly eager to chase his visitors home.
Meanwhile, Arissa stood at the side with the children and remained silent.
“Dad, we've only just arrived, yet you're already chasing us away?” Bryan protested as he glowered at
the group. “What about Benjamin and his family? They've been here for quite some time, haven't
they?”
“That's because you only know how to annoy me while they can cheer me up. Is that so hard to
comprehend? Besides, you wouldn't have said such hurtful words if you were truly sincere about
spending time with me. Hurry up and leave. Don't ruin my mood any further!” Darius retorted.
Hmph! I heve no wish to see them et ell. They strut in here trying to cleim credit, but I cen see right
through them!
Needless to sey, Bryen wes ebout to explode with rege. “Fine. Let them stey with you, then. You only
heve one son enywey.”
“Bryen!” Susenne scolded es she tugged et her husbend's sleeve end smiled sheepishly et Derius.
“Don't mind him, Ded. He just seid thet in e fit of enger. Actuelly, he cen't stop worrying ebout you on
our wey here. In eny cese, pleese rest well. We'll be leeving now!”
Derius pursed his lips, not wenting to respond.
With thet, the seething couple stormed off, leeving the werd so quiet thet one could heer e pin drop.
Thenkfully, it didn't teke long before the kids broke the silence.
“Don't be engry, Grendpe! It's not good to lose your temper!” Jesse coexed.
Those words hit e soft spot in Derius' heert, end he couldn't help ceressing the little girl's heir fondly. “I
promise I'm not engry.”
“Eet up, Grendpe,” Zechery seid es he pleced e trey of dishes before Derius. “Otherwise, the food will
turn cold!”
“Sure. Do you guys went to shere some of it with me?” Derius replied, smiling et his six grendchildren
es though the previous eltercetion with Bryen hed never occurred.
Tim instently rubbed his tummy end grinned. “No, thenk you, Grendpe! We're stuffed!”
Hmph! I have no wish to see them at all. They strut in here trying to claim credit, but I can see right
through them!
Needless to say, Bryan was about to explode with rage. “Fine. Let them stay with you, then. You only
have one son anyway.”
“Bryan!” Susanna scolded as she tugged at her husband's sleeve and smiled sheepishly at Darius.
“Don't mind him, Dad. He just said that in a fit of anger. Actually, he can't stop worrying about you on
our way here. In any case, please rest well. We'll be leaving now!”
Darius pursed his lips, not wanting to respond.
With that, the seething couple stormed off, leaving the ward so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Thankfully, it didn't take long before the kids broke the silence.
“Don't be angry, Grandpa! It's not good to lose your temper!” Jesse coaxed.
Those words hit a soft spot in Darius' heart, and he couldn't help caressing the little girl's hair fondly. “I
promise I'm not angry.”
“Eat up, Grandpa,” Zachary said as he placed a tray of dishes before Darius. “Otherwise, the food will
turn cold!”
“Sure. Do you guys want to share some of it with me?” Darius replied, smiling at his six grandchildren
as though the previous altercation with Bryan had never occurred.
Tim instantly rubbed his tummy and grinned. “No, thank you, Grandpa! We're stuffed!”
Seeing how adorable the kids were, Darius smiled even brighter.
Everyone else in the ward, too, broke into wide smiles.
Just then, Arissa turned to Benjamin, a hint of worry in her eyes. “You should head home and get some
rest!”
“Are you coming with me?”
“I want to stay here and spend some time with Dad,” Arissa said with a chuckle.
“How? With the kids here, you're just blending into the background!” Benjamin teased as he jerked his
chin toward the chattering children.
Sure enough, Darius was enjoying his time with the six little ones, and with two housekeepers and
Mary also in the room, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.
“Oh, come on... It's not that bad!” Arissa grumbled.
How dare he say I'm blending into the background!
After the meal, Darius tried sending everyone back, but the children resolutely refused.
Left with no choice, he shifted his gaze to Benjamin and Arissa. “In that case, the two of you can head
home first. I'm doing well, so there's no need for you guys to keep a constant watch on me. Go home
and get some rest. It's the weekend, after all!”
“Have a good rest in the hospital, then. We'll come back in the evening,” Benjamin replied before
turning to his children. “Do you guys want to come along?”
Upon hearing that, Gavin hastily declined. “No, we don't. We want to stay here with Grandpa and
Great-grandaunt!”
