To answer the questions in his head, Hiram decided to ask Nancy directly. "Miss Ning, isn't Mr. Fu with you today?"
"Yes, but he said he has something to deal with this afternoon." Of course, Nancy couldn't tell him that Charles went out for a drink with Brandy.
It was more like a date when a man and a woman drank alone. If she told him this, then it would just lead to more questions.
"I went to the office after I took the kids to the kindergarten today, but I haven't heard about some important stuff that Mr. Fu needs to deal with personally. Is it an emergency?" With this thought, Hiram felt a little nervous.
After all, it was his responsibility to protect Charles. If something happened to him, Hiram would be liable.
"It's okay, Hiram. Charles is busy with his personal affairs." When she spotted Nadia and Bobby running out hand in hand, Nancy quickly changed the topic. "It has nothing to do with you. Look, the kids are out."
Instinctively, Hiram turned around and waived at the kids. "Bobby, Nadia, this way."
Their eyes lit up when they saw Nancy standing next to Hiram. They shouted at the same time as they ran towards her. "Wow! Mommy’s here. Are you feeling better now?"
Last night, the two kids were sleeping so soundly that they didn’t notice their parents had left.
That was why Nadia panicked when she didn't see them in the master's bedroom when she woke up this morning.
In a daze, Nadia rubbed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Where are Daddy and Mommy?"
Fear slowly crept into her when she didn't find them in every room in the house.
"Bobby, Mommy and Daddy are missing. Did they abandon us?" For an insecure child like Nadia, the first thought that came up in her mind when she didn't see her parents was that they probably abandoned them.
This thought made Nadia burst into tears, which woke Bobby up. He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Nadia, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's not nonsense. It's true. Daddy and Mommy are missing!" As she spoke, Nadia ran into his room.
Bobby sat up and looked at Nadia with a cold face. "What do you mean by they’re missing?"
"Daddy and Mommy are not here. There are only two of us at home now." Another batch of tears fell from her eyes.
Finally, Bobby slipped off the bed and gave his full attention to Nadia. "Daddy and Mommy were both here last night, and now they're gone?"
"Were they taken away by bad guys?"
"Nadia, why do you have such a wide imagination?" The moment Bobby walked to the master's bedroom, he immediately noticed the note Charles posted on the door. "They didn't abandon us. Mommy is sick, so Daddy took her to the hospital."
"Are we going to the hospital too?" Although she felt relieved that their parents didn’t abandon them, Nadia was still anxious when she heard that Nancy was brought to the hospital. "Why did Mommy suddenly get sick?"
"We are not going to the hospital. As for Mommy's sudden illness... It happens to everyone. Don’t worry too much," Bobby said lazily.
"Since they are not at home, who will drive us to the kindergarten?"
"Nadia, you are so silly. No one will drive us to the kindergarten... Which means, we won’t go there. Go back to your room and close your eyes. Do you understand?" Thinking that they didn't need to go to school, Bobby couldn't help but smile. He was in a good mood when he went back to his room to sleep again.
However, Nadia followed him and shouted, "I don't want to sleep, Bobby!"
"If you don't want to sleep, you can make breakfast for me. I'll sleep." As soon as his back touched the soft mattress, Bobby closed his eyes.
