Joseph was suddenly a little nervous.
"I'll get it."
He ran over quickly and answered the phone before the maid did.
Zoe narrowed her eyes slightly.
Why was he in such a hurry to answer the phone?
Something didn't seem right.
She didn't say anything though, just leaned aside and then saw Joseph's brow suddenly furrow.
"Joseph, what's wrong?"
Zoe stepped forward, while Joseph had already put down the phone.
He looked at Zoe and felt a little hesitant.
It had been so many days since Great-grandpa's accident and no one had actually told them. It seemed that everyone really did treat them like children and protected them too well.
In fact, Joseph wanted to go and see his Great-grandpa. But if Eaton didn't come back at this time, then Great-grandpa would not be able to rest assured anyway. Even if he went, it wouldn't help, but it would be much better if Zoe went.
Zoe would not suspect what he was doing out there, and he could stall her.
Thinking about it, Joseph said sadly, "Great-grandpa is in hospital."
"What's going on?"
Zoe was suddenly on edge.
Edwin had been really good to them these past two years. With or without Samuel and Nicole, Edwin had only been more affectionate to them.
Now that she was only going to school for a few days, how could he be hospitalized?
"Joseph, will you come with me to see Great-grandpa?"
"I've booked a flight to the academic seminar and many of the tutors are there. It's not appropriate for me not to go. So, Zoe, I'll trouble you to look after Great-grandpa."
Joseph's words caused Zoe to slightly freeze.
What?
Great-grandpa was in the hospital and he was going to an academic seminar?
That seemed a bit strange.
Joseph wouldn't have been like this before.
If he was obsessed with medicine, she believed him. But she didn't believe him when he was so obsessed.
But Zoe didn't say anything. She just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come over. Joseph, if anything happens, let me know as soon as you can."
"Okay, and if anything happens to Great-grandpa, let me know too."
"Okay."
Zoe nodded.
Something suddenly occurred to her.
"Huh? Why is the house so quiet today? Where are my brothers?"
Zoe's greatest pleasure whenever she came back was to tease her brothers because they were just so cute. Watching them grow up little by little, from sitting, to crawling, to toddling, it was like Zoe was seeing her life replicated all over again, and it was truly such a proud feeling.
Every time she came home, there were two babbling children. But now the house was empty and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Zoe's heart stuttered and she quickly grabbed one of the maids and asked, "Where are my brothers?"
Joseph turned his back on Zoe and glared at the maid with sharp eyes, as if to warn her, “If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you up.”
Although Joseph had always kept his good manners, his glare was so stern that it startled the maid.
The maids had been with the Green family for a long time and had become very shrewd. When she saw the look on Joseph's face at that moment, she hurriedly said, "The two young masters had a bit of a cold recently and were taken to the hospital."
"How are my brothers? Is it serious?"
Zoe was instantly anxious.
"Joseph, be careful on your way. I'll go to the hospital first to check on my brothers."
"Okay."
Joseph nodded hastily, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
Seeing that Joseph did not look very satisfied, the maid could not help but say, "Mr. Green, I am really ..."
