Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 870

Brian woke up the next morning. Although he was drunk last night, it was his most solid sleep.

Winnie was lying next to him. Listening to her symmetrical breathing, he knew she was still asleep.

Gently approached Winnie's face, and kissed her gently on her forehead.

The Johnson's villa.

Breakfast on the table.

"Thomas, is Rufus still in the hospital?"

Felix asked Thomas as he ate.

"Yes, but he will be discharged soon."

Thomas still didn't know whether he should tell his father about Rufus's condition, so he gave this answer.

But Maria suddenly added something.

"The surgery hasn't been done yet, so how come he will be discharged soon?"

Maria did it on purpose, she just wanted Felix to know it.

"Surgery? What surgery? What happened to Rufus?"

Felix frowned and stopped eating.

Thomas stared at Maria.

"When will you learn to shut up?"

"Didn't you say that you would tell dad if it was not cancer? I thought Dad knew."

Maria's explanation made Felix nervous.

"What cancer? How id Rufus. Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Felix stood up as he said, he wanted to go to the hospital immediately to see what was going on.

"Dad, it's not cancer, don't worry."

"Sit down and eat and I will tell you."

Thomas hurriedly stopped his father, and then glared at Maria fiercely.

Felix was persuaded to sit down, but he was still worried.

"Rufus has a tumor in the lungs, but it is not malignant. He will have the operation in these two days, and will be fine after the tumor is removed."

Thomas had to say, otherwise his father would worry about Rufus more.

"Why no one tells me it? You are all hiding it from me."

Felix was angry. Although, Rufus did not have a cancer, he was still worried.

"We are afraid that you would be worried. You are over 90? We are afraid that you will fall ill."

Thomas was still explaining, understanding his father's reaction.

"I should know it even I am ninety."

"I'm not eating anymore."

After speaking angrily, Felix got up again and left the table.

Even if it was not cancer, he still wanted to go to the hospital to see what's going on.

Only Thomas and his wife were left at the table, and Thomas couldn't help venting his anger at Maria.

"Are you insane? Why did you talk nonsense? Your mouth..."

"Don't always scold me, I say this for our own good."

Maria interrupted Thomas' anger that hadn't fully released, then put down his chopsticks and called Thomas back to the bedroom.

"I said what I said on purpose. I just want dad to know it and make him anxious."

Maria was frank, and directly stated her purpose.

"Aren't you crazy? He is so old. He may be scared when he hears it suddenly."

Thomas became even more angry when Maria said this, and snarled at Maria.

"Can you keep your voice down? Why don't you listen to me to finish talking?"

Maria was calm and didn't care about Thomas' rant.

"What do you want to say?"

Thomas asked Maria suspiciously.

Maria's reaction today was different from before. Not only did she not show the look of fear, she was confident. This made Thomas wonder why.

"I want to say that Dad is our stumbling block, as long as he is alive, you are not as good as Brian."

Maria's words silenced Thomas. Seeing that Thomas was not angry, Maria continued to speak.

"What's the use of your hard work? Who can shake Brian's position in Dad's mind? Dad has been partial to Rufus for so many years. Can't you tell it?"

"Even if you kill Brian..."

"Nonsense, if someone hears, you will die."

Thomas interrupted Maria suddenly. Brian's life and death was a taboo topic, at least Maria couldn't talk about it so casually.

"Don't be so nervous, I am cautious, so I called you back to the room."

"Don't interrupt me, let me finish talking."

Maria knew that there were some things she couldn't say casually, even if Thomas didn't warn her, she also knew to be cautious.

Seeing Thomas did not respond, Maria continued to speak.

"If Brian disappears, Dad will call Rufus back to manage the Bennet Group. He won't let you manage it. Do you believe what I said?"

"So, no matter what, you are not the best candidate in Dad's mind, which means that he doesn't trust you at all."

"As long as he is alive for one day, you are not even a substitute. In such a situation, can Jack have a chance to perform. Are you willing to be so unsuccessful for the rest of your life? Are you willing that Jack has always been inferior to Brian like you?"

Maria wasn't reconciled. She had unlimited expectations of Thomas when she married. Although she was getting older, there was also opportunities to realize her dreams.

Even if not for herself, she had to think about Jack's future.

Thomas still didn't speak and kept thinking.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry. Dad can live to more than ninety."

Stella felt the family affection. At this moment, her grandpa's eagerness and complaints made her happy and made her feel that her grandpa was not indifferent.

Stella felt tired after chatting with her grandpa for a while.

"Grandpa, I'll go home and sleep for a while and then come back."

Stella was about to leave and told Felix first.

"How are you going? You can't drive. Ask Paul to send you back. You don't have to bring me lunch at noon. Today we can have takeout."

Rufus cared about her daughter, and felt distressed that she had to look after him when she was pregnant.

"I don't drive. I will take a taxi."

Stella responded, and then picked up her bag to leave.

"Let Paul send you back. We will worry about you if you take a taxi alone. I will stay here until Paul comes back."

Felix was also worried about Stella and asked Paul to send her back.

"All right. Paul, please send me back."

Stella did not refuse. She could rest assured as her grandfather and Butler were in the hospital.

After Paul and Stella left, Felix became serious.

He asked Paul away for a reason

"Isobel?"

Felix asked. He knew Rufus would know what he wanted to say just by saying a name.

"Don't worry about my business. I want to find Isobel, and I will find her."

Rufus understood his father's ideas best. He used to mention Isobel tactfully, and he could avoid it. But this time he directly mentioned Isobel's name, and Rufus must also face it straightforwardly.

But no matter how straightforward he was, he couldn't say that he had found Isobel.

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Felix continued to ask, and Rufus' answer made him frowned in dissatisfaction.

There were hints in his words, implying Rufus that the matter was complicated, and being with Isobel might be a disaster instead of happiness.

"I didn't think about it, I didn't want to think about it. I have been thinking about it for more than 20 years, and I have endured it for more than 20 years for everyone. I have borne the pain for more than 20 years alone."

"I have thought a lot since I got sick. If it is really cancer, I will live in vain in my life. Fortunately, if it is not cancer, I still have time to live for myself for a few years."

Rufus was not resenting his father, but his father must hear these words. If it weren't for the hindrance of his father, if it weren't for his father's attachment, things wouldn't have developed so badly and complicatedly.

What Rufus said made Felix speechless. Rufus had indeed endured too much in the past two decades.

What happened back then was something he didn't expect. The separation of Rufus and Isobel was to preserve Rufus' marriage, but what he didn't expect was that Rufus' wife committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Twenty years later, he never thought that the Bennet family would still be entangled with the Chambers family and have two children, which made this matter more complicated.

"What about Brian and Stella? They can't accept it."

Felix could only mention Brian and Stella in the end.
