At that moment, upon seeing them, a lump inexplicably formed in her throat, and her eyes began to redden.
The two old men, who should be enjoying their twilight years, were instead still living in constant worry and fear because of them.
At that thought, Natasha felt remorseful.
After the car stopped, the person in the other car was the first to get out.
The moment Denise saw them, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Gramps! Great-grandpa!”
Her soft and gentle voice could melt a person's heart.
Upon seeing her, the two old men immediately looked at her with eyes full of adoration. “Denise, my darling!” exclaimed Liam.
“You're finally home. You're finally back!” Terence missed her terribly as well.
In the next moment, Denise rushed toward them, embracing them tightly. “I've missed you guys so much!”
“We miss you too!”
Denise held them close, not uttering another word, for no amount of speech could express her longing.
At that moment, Anthony and Benjamin also got out of the car.
Upon seeing the two of them, Liam called out, “Anthony, Benjamin!”
The two boys were relatively calm. “Gramps! Great-grandpa!”
“Come here, come here quickly. Let me take a look at you!” said Liam.
And so, one headed toward Liam, while the other went toward Terence.
“It's been a while. You've grown taller, but why have you lost so much weight?” Liam asked Anthony.
“Yeah, it's true. Outside is not like home. We really need to nourish them well!” Terence said to Benjamin.
“Right. That's a must!”
The two boys were watching them, not saying a word.
After a round of pleasantries, Terence asked, “By the way, where's your mommy?”
Speaking of which, they all simultaneously turned their gaze toward another car.
At that moment, the car door opened, and Natasha stepped out from inside.
Upon seeing her, Terence's movement to approach suddenly froze.
Looking at Natasha, who had become as thin as a skeleton, there was a moment when he felt as if he had mistaken her for someone else. T-This is not Nat!
He stared at her, yet he didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Liam, standing not far away, was equally stunned when he saw Natasha. How could this happen?
Looking at Terence, who had stopped in his tracks, Natasha, with teary eyes, spoke up. “Grandpa.”
This utterance of “Grandpa” brought Terence's thoughts back to reality.
“Nat?”
“It's me!” Natasha said lightly.
Terence slowly approached her, looking at her. “How did... how did...” His voice choked as he looked at the person before him. “How did you end up like this?”
Tears fell directly from Natasha's eyes. “I’ll get better soon!”
The next second, Terence had already pulled her into his arms.
“Nat!”
Terence was not a man adept at expressing his feelings. Even now, as he watched his beloved granddaughter in that state, all he could manage to utter was her name.
“I'm sorry, Grandpa, for making you worry again!” Natasha said.
“It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back!” said Terence.
At that moment, people not far behind were watching, their eyes also welling up with tears.
After a while, Liam walked up and said, “Nat, you're back. Where's that brat?”
Speaking of that, Natasha paused for a moment.
At that moment, Terence seemed to remember something. He looked at her and asked, “That's right, where's that brat, Kenneth?”
