Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 445

Before the kids could speak, Elsie grinned at Robert from the side.

“Because you’re wife’s incredible, of course, easily teaching these two kids to play mental games.”

Robert saw the Rubik’s Cubes in the kids’ hands.

“So you’re playing with these. I know how to solve those too. Do you want me to teach you, you two?”

Annie straight up shook her head.

“Mommy already taught us how. I don’t need you now, Daddy.”

That was quite a blow to Robert. Wesley, though came up in front of Robert with the cube.

“Maybe your way is different from Auntie Georgia’s Daddy. I want to learn some more.”

As Wesley said that, even Ivan couldn’t resist chiming in.

“Your Daddy’s especially quick with this. He can solve it even with his eyes blindfolded. I have to see what I’m doing to solve it. If he teaches you, you’ll learn it really quickly.”

For the next half-hour, the adults in the room played with the kids.

By the end of it, Ivan even ran downstairs and bought more some Cardano’s Ring puzzles.

The adults even started competing to see who solved the Rubik’s Cubes and Cardano’s Ring the quickest.

In the end, Robert won with the cubes, while Wilson won with the rings.

Robert had been one second behind.

Georgia was at a consistent third.

Her skills were rusty and she’d almost forgotten how to play with those puzzles. Only when she held them did she recall those memories.

After playing with the kids for a while, Robert and Georgia said goodbye to Elsie.

Wesley’s body checkup turned out fine, and she was fine too, so they were leaving the hospital today.

Elsie’s wound had her confined to the hospital for another week, so Georgia had to take the kids home.

But before leaving the hospital, the family paid another visit to Jasper in his room.

“Are you two coming to visit me to poke fun at me?

“I saw you come into hospital while I’m here, and now I’m seeing you leave. Now I have to stay inside for a few more days. Oh woe, nobody understands my loneliness and sorrow.”

Georgia chuckled.

“We just asked the doctors. You’ll be out the day after tomorrow. What’s with the pessimism?”

“You don’t get it. You had a husband by your side in hospital, had two kids chatting along with you, and even Elsie was hurt by accident and placed not far from you. You’re all rowdy and fun every day. With me, though, other than my parents visiting me every day, it’s only been you coming just to go through the motions. There hasn’t been anyone bothering with me that much otherwise.

“Back then, someone I didn’t know too well came to see me. I thought it was genuine concern, but it was just to mock me. What’s so good about staying in hospital? Leaving the day after tomorrow doesn’t make me happy either. I’d kill to leave right now. But the doctors say I have to wait. Oh woe.”

Jasper sighed theatrically, and Robert chuckled.

“You look like you’re fine. You were deathly sick before, and this is already great. Don’t overthink it. When you’re out, you can travel the world for a while and relax. I think you’re getting depressed moping in here.”

As they spoke, Elliot and Bailey just so happened to come inside the room.
