Chapter 138
The quiet ward was immediately bustling with noise when the triplets arrived. Brycen thought, “These are my sister’s babies, and they’re all so cute! Especially, Claudia, she’s kind and thoughtful.’ When Claudia saw his injured leg, her round, wide eyes showed how heartbroken she was. It melted Brycen’s heart! That was the first time he had felt happy after his injury, and it was totally different than the carefree feeling he would get on the racetrack A warm sensation spread in his body, just like a hot coffee in the cold winter. It melted his bones and all he could feel was bliss. “It’s almost time for dinner. Why don’t grandpa and the kids stay for a meal? I’ll get Russell to get us some food.” A hint of anticipation flashed in Brycen’s eyes. ‘Would the kids reject me because we’re not close with each other yet?’ Brycen wondered. But he did not want to see them leave so early. However, while he was still worrying, they immediately agreed to it. “Sure, uncle.” “Of course!”
Ben and Alex said unanimously. Claudia said cutely, “Alright.” Then, she went over to Grandpa Dave and held his hand. “Great grandpa, can we eat with Uncle Brycen today?” Grandpa Dave was delighted when he saw them living harmoniously with one another. He held Claudia’s hand as he thought, ‘Of course!’ “Sure! We’re a family, so we have to live happily together!”
The triplets exchanged looks and smiled at each other. ‘Since all of us are out here, that means daddy and mommy are having some alone time together!
When they thought about this, they loved Brycen’s idea even more. Russell was happy when he saw them having a good time together as a family as well. “I’ll go get some food now! You can eat anything, right? What about you kids? Do you have anything you want to eat?”
Brycen’s injury, together with the May family’s fuss, had made the atmosphere in the ward extremely tense. Russell had not felt so relaxed in a long time. “I want to eat meat!” Claudia responded immediately. “Burger! Steak! Chicken drumsticks!” Ben chimed in.
Even Alex joined them and said, “I want pizza and tacos!” “You’re still young, you can’t just eat meat.” Brycen rarely acted like a strict parent as he was an extremely carefree person.
