Old Mr. Nacht returned to the ward with a few bodyguards in tow bearing various gifts. They placed them all down upon the bed and covered every inch of space on top.
“Grandpa Nacht…” Ellie ran up to him and threw herself into his arms. “We’re so glad that you’re back, Grandpa. Hurry and help us find our Mommy.”
“I still can’t reach Mommy, Grandpa Nacht. We may need your help.” Robbie approached him and bowed. “Please help us!”
“Don’t worry, children. Your parents have already gotten in touch with my grandson through the police,” the elderly gentleman said as he held Robbie and Ellie affectionately. “We’ll get all of you home very soon.”
“Really? That’s great!” Ellie clapped her hands and jumped for joy.
“Can I go home too, Grandpa Nacht?” Jamie asked. “I don’t want to stay in the hospital. I want to be with Mommy and Mrs. Berry.”
“I’ve checked in with the doctor and you are good for discharge. You need only return here in a month for a check-up,” The old man said kindly. “All of you rest assured that I’ll drop in for a visit often in the future.”
“Yay!” Jamie was so excited that he started chatting up the pretty nurse next to him. “Don’t miss me too much when I’m gone, ladies.”
“Haha, I think we will for sure,” the nurses replied, quite amused.
“You are always welcomed at our home, Grandpa Nacht. Mrs. Berry’s cooking is yummy.” Ellie’s brows raised in enthusiasm as she gesticulated. “The buns she makes are this huge. There’s also the vegetable beef soup…”
“Wow, my mouth’s already watering just listening to you describe them.” Old Mr. Nacht laughed. “I think I’ll definitely need to go give it a try!”
“Yes, you must come, okay. Pinky promise!” Ellie stuck out a plump little finger.
“Ha ha ha, Grandpa can’t become that.”
The old man and the little girl interlocked their little fingers and then sealed it with their thumbs before they both broke into laughter.
Robbie watched by the side in silence. He felt something was off. Parents? We don’t have a father…
Could Grandpa have been duped?
“Mr. Nacht, the car’s ready,” Spencer said.
“Alright.” The old man nodded before he said to the three children, “I have to go now. My grandson will send all of you home later. Give me a call when you see your Daddy and Mommy.”
With that, he went on to put on the smart watches on the children’s wrists himself.
“This is what Grandpa got all of you. They have my number in them. Call me whenever you miss me, alright?”
“Understood!” Jamie and Ellie replied at once. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Why are you so quiet, Robbie?” The elderly gentleman patted the older boy’s head when he noticed that he seemed to be lost in thought. “Are you missing me already?”
“Does this smartwatch have GPS, Grandpa?” Robbie asked as he raised the watch in his right hand. “Will it send you a message if we are in danger?”
“Does it have this function?” the old man asked Spencer.
“The smartwatch has a built-in GPS, but it isn’t that comprehensive,” Spencer replied as he shook his head. “Shall we ask Mr. Zachary to have that feature installed? As Divine Corporation deals in technologies, it shouldn’t be that difficult for them to do.”
“Divine Corporation?” Robbie’s face turned ashen-faced when he heard the name. “Is your grandson’s company called…”
“Divine Corporation!”
A cold voice rang out and interjected.
It was accompanied by the entrance of a slender silhouette and Zachary’s overbearing presence.
