Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 231

S2 61. Grandma is the Cause 

Frank nodded curtly. “It wasn’t intentional. That’s why Mommy called it an accident.” 

The twins’ cheeks puffed up. Their eyes narrowed, considering something. 

“No wonder Grandma cried so loudly. She must be scared.” 

“I understand Grandma’s feelings. When Louis protected me in the library, I was also scared, especially when his hand had to be in a cast. I felt guilty and wanted to keep hugging him.” 

Seeing Emily hugging Louis and leaning her head on her brother’s tiny shoulder, Frank could smile again. Half the burden in his heart lifted. “Now that you know the truth, your hearts are at ease, right?” 

Before Frank told them to sleep, Louis quickly raised his palm. “But we still want to accompany Auntie, Daddy.” 

“Yes, we are curious about her condition. And as a family, we must give her support for a speedy recovery.” 

“Actually,” Kara interjected with a mysterious smile, “there is one way you can do it. Go visit Auntie before you go to school.” 

Frank looked at his wife in awe. “That’s a great idea, Kara. Louis and Emily can provide Barbara with support without shirking their responsibilities.” 

Louis and Emily glanced at each other. After a few blinks, they slumped down. They realized that they had no reason to refuse Kara’s suggestion. 

“Okay. Let’s meet Auntie early in the morning.” Emily sounded like she 

Π 

was grumbling. 

“Oh, I hope I don’t get sleepy in class later. If we accompany Auntie, we can sleep for a while at the hospital.” 

Kara snorted a laugh at that excuse. “If you’re afraid of falling asleep in class, you should sleep now.” She rubbed Louis’ back. 

“Yeah, let’s go back to your room, Buddy. Don’t bother Emily.” Frank held out his hand. 

Louis quickly hugged his younger sister. “I’m not bothering Emily. In fact, I’m comforting her so she won’t be too sad. Emily, let’s go back to sleep.” 

Emily just blinked as Louis pulled her shoulders towards the pillow. 

“Actually, Louis just doesn’t want to sleep alone, Dad. He’s the one who needs a friend.” 

“Don’t be noisy, Emily. It’s already late. Sleep or I’ll kidnap Yemon later. 

Emily shuddered in horror. She hugged her plush tightly as if securing it from Louis. 

Feeling exasperated, Kara laughed a little. “Don’t joke anymore, Little Angels. You should sleep. We’ll meet Auntie early in the morning.” 

After receiving a kiss from their parents, the toddlers closed their eyes. Their faces looked peaceful, in contrast to Frank’s. Kara noticed 

the change. 

“Frank, are you okay?” she asked after closing the door. 

Frank blinked. “Yes.” He lifted the corners of his lips. 

“You want to see your mother now?” 

The man nodded. “Go rest first. I’ll follow.” 

“You don’t want me to accompany you?” 

Frank smiled and shook his head. “Don’t worry. Mom won’t go crazy again. Did you hear what the children said? She was crying earlier. She must be devastated and regret her actions.” 

“But you still have to be careful.” Kara stroked Frank’s face. 

“Sure.” 

After kissing Kara’s forehead, Frank approached the bodyguard standing in front of Melanie’s room. “Is my mother asleep yet?” 

The man was suddenly confused. “We don’t know if she is sleeping or not. Ten minutes ago, she was still sitting against the wardrobe, but her eyes closed.” 

Frank nodded. Slowly, he opened the door. As the bodyguard said, Melanie was still on the floor. Without saying hello, Frank approached 

her. 

Feeling someone’s presence, Melanie’s eyelids trembled. When she discovered her son’s whereabouts, she gasped. “Frank ….” 

Unexpectedly, Melanie crawled and stopped right in front of her son. Her hand didn’t hesitate to hold his knee. 

“Where’s Barbara? How is she?” 

Frank stared at her face intently. The frown on his forehead looked 

honest. 

“She’s still in the hospital, just finished having surgery.” 

Melanie let out a quick sigh. She scooted closer. “How is her 

condition? Is she awake?” 

Frank’s expression remained flat. “The operation went smoothly, but she will have difficulty moving her right arm for a while.” 

Melanie lowered her gaze. Her eyes twinkled and her mouth round Before she could express her gratitude, Frank interrupted, “Why? A you disappointed because your attack failed to kill anyone?” 

Melanie was stunned again. The vibrations in his eyes became visible. “What do you mean, Frank? Do you think I would have the heart to kill my own daughter?” 

Frank shut his mouth. He was more interested in observing his mother’s response than to talk. 

“I didn’t mean to hurt your little sister, Frank. It was an accident.” Melanie shook her grip. 

“If you didn’t stab the wrong target… let’s say, Philip was in the 

hospital now, would you be this messed up? Or are you going to party instead?” 

Melanie gasped. Her mouth opened wider, but she didn’t make a sound. 

“Where did your courage come from to attack someone with a knife? You aren’t afraid of the consequences?” 

Melanie shook her head swiftly. Her hands started hitting her chest. 

“I don’t know either, Frank. I suddenly lost my mind. Maybe because 

I the pressure on me was too great, I acted beyond reason. When 1 realized, I was shaken.” 

Seeing the tears streaming down Melanie’s cheeks, Frank almost snorted. The disappointment nestled in his heart grew thicker. 

“Did you dare because you’ve done the same thing before?” Frank raised an eyebrow.
