I quickly squatted down and persuaded Glenn, "Glenn, I'll go back to pick you up within two months..." After that, feeling that Glenn would think that it was too much a long time, I continued, "How about I pick you up within a month?"
"No! Not even for a day! I don't want to go back to Town S!" He pulled my arm and refused to let go with all his might.
"Glenn, be good. Mom did it for your own good. Well, are you okay with two weeks?"
"No, I am not okay with it!"
Glenn shook his head desperately.
Seeing this, I said to pamper him, "How about this? I'll go back with you, okay?"
Glenn asked, "What about Dad?"
Ever since Patrick and I lived together, Patrick had been pestering Patrick every day. No matter how late Patrick came back, Glenn would be waiting for him at home.
Now that he wasn't reluctant to leave City Y. One reason was that he was reluctant to part with me. And the other was that he didn't want to be separated from Patrick.
Unfortunately, I couldn't decide on behalf of Patrick. So I said, "I will go with you first and come back here to see Dad two weeks later, okay?"
Hearing what I said, Glenn looked somewhat hesitant. Even so, figuring out that I would go with him anyway, he nodded and said, "Okay."
After Glenn agreed, I went to the airport with Ryan, Jessica, and three servants.
However, I didn't book a flight ticket.
I planned that I would find an excuse to leave after arriving at the airport. After all, after boarding the plane, Glenn couldn't regret it. He was a child. And there was nothing he could do.
However, as the saying goes, things change.
As we packed up our things, intending to get in the car and go to the airport, my cell phone rang.
Someone called my personal number.
It was Patrick.
As soon as I picked up the phone, Patrick's low and hoarse voice rang over the phone, "Where are you? Are you with Glenn?"
"Yes," I lowered my head to look at Glenn beside me.
In fact, I hadn't told Patrick about the matter that I wanted to send Glenn back to Town S.
Patrick said quickly, "Bring him to Holy Spirit
Hospital. Right now." "Huh?" I was stunned.
"Grandpa was hospitalized last night. And now he's on the verge of death. He wants to see Glenn," Patrick said.
His words made me confused in my mind. Looking at the taxi in front of me that was about to be driven to the airport, I pulled the car door open and said to Ryan, "Sorry, I can't let Glenn go with you. Grandpa Cowell encounters an accident. I have to take Glenn with me and see him."
"Then you should hurry up." Without saying anything else, Ryan asked the servants to unload our luggage.
I took Glenn with me and went to Holy Spirit Hospital in a car.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I saw a cordon set up outside the hospital. And the security guards were guarding there.
There were several commercial vehicles parked on the side. Apparently, they were reporters' cars.
Before I got out of the car, I put on my sunglasses and a mask. Putting a cap on Glenn's head, I wrapped his neck with a scarf.
As soon as the car stopped, I rushed into the hospital with Glenn in my arms.
At this time, Ned was already in ICU.
After entering ICU, we saw Dulcie and Sheridan were both there and that Shelton was nowhere to be seen.
In fact, before I came here, I knew that he couldn't be here. The reason why Ned fell ill now was highly likely because of the revelation in the news.
The news made Ned's scandal known to the public. He, who was old, naturally couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.
