The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1418

Charles forgot about the unhappy events that took place last night after seeing the smile on the faces of his children. He took turns in lifting Clark and Shirley into the air, cherishing their beautiful, laughing faces.

"Dad, can Shirley and I visit Mom at the hospital today? I haven't seen her in a while and I'm sure she would love to see us." Clark tugged at his father's sleeve, pleading with all his heart.

"Daddy, please! Please bring us to visit Mom. I know she must miss us too. I believe she will recover sooner when she see us."

Shirley pulled at her father's other hand, slightly pouting her lips while giving him the puppy-dog eyes.

Charles didn't stand a chance against his children's insistence and he gave in. "Okay, okay. Let's have breakfast first. After that, I will take you to see Mom. But you have to be well-behaved at the hospital, okay? I need you to promise that you won't disturb her, okay?"

Clark and Shirley nodded their heads without any argument.

"Yes, yes, yes. We will be well-behaved. We won't disturb her. We promise." Clark then gestured with his hand to "zip" his lips up, which amused Charles.

"Let's get ready now so we can go to see Mom." Shirley jumped out of her bed as she couldn't wait to see her mother.

Charles tried to dress the children, but half the time he looked out of place as he had little experience. His valiant efforts led to Clark wearing his shirt backwards and Shirley's arm in a wrong sleeve. Frustrated, the children lost their patience and complained, "Dad has no idea what he's doing!"

Before long, they arrived at the hospital.

Charles walked in with the kids, one in each hand. When they arrived at the door to Sheryl's ward, Charles squatted down and looked at them solemnly. "Do you remember what you've promised to me?"

"Yes. We won't disturb her. Don't worry about that," Shirley replied with her hands clasped behind her back, acting like a grown up.

"Dad, will we be disturbing her by going in since she still needs time to rest?"

Clark asked with a serious expression on his face.

Charles was amazed to hear what his kids were saying because he didn't expect them to be so thoughtful and mature, despite their age.

"No, you won't. I have talked to Mom over the phone and she said she couldn't wait to see the both of you," Charles replied with a smile.

Clark nodded, "Okay! I will look after Shirley and we won't disturb Mommy."

"Yes, I will be a good girl." Shirley raised her head high.

Charles was smitten by his children's adorable words.

Deep in his heart, he thanked Sheryl for giving him two wonderful children. They were the best thing that had happened to him in his entire life.

Before they all stepped into the ward, Charles stopped and helped to organize Shirley's hair. He then stood up and said, "Well, kids, we're finally going to see your mother."

Shirley and Clark smiled at each other as their hearts sang with a whoop of undisguised glee.
