In the living room.
Fourth and Second yed together for quite a while before heading to their rooms to restter in the evening.
Hugo went straight to Fourth’s room.
He knocked on the door.
“It’s not locked, you cane in,” came Fourth’s sweet, childlike voice from inside.
Hugo pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Fourth sitting on the bed, he approached. “Why aren’t <i>you </i>resting yet?”
Fourth pouted, letting out a sigh. “I’m a bit worried about Mommy. She’s alone in the hospital, and I don’t know if the
<b>doctors </b>can take good care of her.”
“She’s at the hospital by herself?”
Fourth nodded. “Grandfather just called to tell me.”
Hugo pressed his lips together, thinking for a moment before speaking. “How about you get some rest, and I’ll go to the
hospital to check on your mom?”
Fourth’s eyes lit up. “Really?<b>” </b>
Hugo nodded.
He had nned to go tonight anyway, and with Fourth so worried, it was the perfect opportunity.
“Thank you, Uncle, you’re the best,” Fourth said happily.
Uncle…
That title stirred something in Hugo’s heart.
He had met Fourth many times before, always feeling an inexplicable closeness, yet never considering that she might be

Thinking back, he realized how much he had missed…
He reached out and gently touched her head, “Fourth…”
“Hmm?”
Hugo wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Before Scarlett had been honest with them, Hugo was afraid of scaring them.
He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just want to tell you that from now on, I’ll treat you very, very well, for a lifetime. So if
there’s anything you want, just tell me, okay?”
Fourth listened, and her heart filled with pink bubbles.
Hmm…
Was this a promise from him?
He must know that she was his daughter, but he was afraid to say it outright.
She wanted so much to break through this barrier, but Fourth held back.
She couldn’t make her mom unhappy!
Thinking it over, Fourth nodded firmly, “I believe you.” She said, her eyes sparkling like little stars as she looked at him,
“Because I like you too.”
Hugo paused.
He really wanted to pull her into a hug and shower her with affection.
But he restrained himself, “I like you too, very much,” Hugo said.
Fourth smiled like a child who had just received candy, wanting to jump into Hugo’s arms and bask in the affection of
having a dad who cared.

“Alright, get some rest. I’m going to the hospital to see your mom,” Hugo said.
Fourth nodded.
Hugo stood up and headed for the door.
“Uncle, Scarlett has a bit of a temper. Remember to be patient with her and don’t get upset,” Fourth suddenly said as he
reached the door.
Hugo turned back, smiling, “I won’t. Get some rest, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
As the door closed, Fourth flopped onto the bed.
Ahhh, she was sleeping in Dad’s room, and he said he really liked her and would be very good to her in the future!
How could she sleep when she was this excited?!
Meanwhile, Hugo stood at the door, listening to theughter inside, a smile forming on his lips.
He nced at Second’s room, hesitated for a moment, but then walked over.
Just as he was about to knock, the door opened from the inside.
Their eyes met.
Hugo couldn’t treat his son the same way he did his daughter, with gentle coaxing and pampering.
He simply looked at him and awkwardly asked, “Heading out?”
“Scarlett is alone in the hospital, and I’m worried”
“So you’re going yourself?”
Second didn’t deny it.
Hugo wasn’t sure what life was like when Scarlett took care of them, but seeing their concern for her made him both

“I came to tell you that I’m going to the hospital to see your mom. You stay home and look after your sister.”
Second looked up at Hugo, his eyes silent yet speaking volumes.
“Your grandfather really likes you both. Spend more time with him,” Hugo said.
Second nodded instinctively, “Got it.”
Hugo reached out to ruffle Second’s hair but hesitated for a moment before finally resting his hand on his head. “Get
some rest.”
Even though the gesture felt awkward to Second, it was the first time, apart from his grandfather, that he’d received such
care from another man.
Despite the goosebumps, there was a tiny flutter of joy in his heart.
Hugo turned and went downstairs. Second watched him go, raised an eyebrow, and quietly closed the door behind him.
Downstairs.
Grandpa had just finished a call when he turned to see Hugoing down from upstairs. “Heading to the hospital?” he
asked.
Hugo nodded
“That’s more like it,” Grandpa chuckled. “Now’s your chance to show what you’re made of. Go on, make a good impression. Who knows, Scarlett might just soften up to you.”
Hugo looked a bit uneasy. “I’m not trying to impress anyone Fourth is worried, and I just don’t want her to be so anxious.”
*Keep telling yourself that, Grandpa said with a teasing expression ‘Scarlett’s quite a catch. You’ll regret it if you let her slip <i>away</i>”
Hugo pressed his lips together, hesitating before asking “What did Grandpa Adler say to you outside today?”

Grandpa raised an eyebrow. “He didn’t say much, just mentioned how unfortunate the two kids are. It really tugged at my
heartstrings.”
“That’s all?”
Grandpa nodded. “Yep, that’s it.”
“Don’t you think your affectionate behavior might be a bit too much?”
“Too much? I’m just concerned about the kids. Why, do you think they’re yours?” Grandpa <i>countered</i>.
“It’s not a guess. I’m sure of it,” Hugo said confidently.
Mr. Hodges couldn’t help but let out a couple of coldughs. “You’ve gone crazy wanting kids, haven’t you?”
Hugo just stood there, speechless.
“There’s nothing going on, and it has nothing to do with you. Stop overthinking!” Mr. Hodges waved his hand dismissively.
But Hugo was convinced. “I don’t know what deal you made with Grandpa Adler, but there’s no doubt they’re my kids.
Your attitude <i>has </i>already given me the answer!”
Mr. Hodges hesitated for a long time before speaking, “I just feel sorry for those two kids. You’re overthinking it!”
Hugo smiled knowingly.
No one here was a fool.
“Fine, you can keep feeling sorry for them. After all, they’ll be returned tomorrow.” With that, Hugo smirked and got up to
leave.
Watching him walk away, Mr. Hodges was fuming, muttering under his breath.
“You deserve this. You didn’t appreciate what you had back then, and now it’s time for you to learn your lesson,
“You acted all high and mighty, and now you deserve to be in the doghouse chasing after your wife!
