The elder Mr. Hodges approached, his gaze settling on Hugo. “What happened?”
“Grandpa,” Hugo said respectfully before exining, “It’s Tiana in there being treated.”
Mr. Hodges narrowed his eyes slightly.

With Hugo calling him grandpa, Audrey realized their rtionship.
Standing before her was the once formidable patriarch of the Hodges Family, a name she had heard of even while living
abroad, known for his sharp business acumen.
Facing him, Audrey found herself at a loss for words.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and a doctor emerged.
“Who is Tiana Young’s family member?” the doctor asked.

Audrey immediately responded, “I am.”
“Oh, the patient is fine. She fainted due to low blood sugar and not eating, but there’s nothing <i>serious </i><i>to </i>worry about.
She’ll be out soon and can be transferred to a regr room for an IV,” the doctor exined.
Hearing this, Audrey finally felt a wave of relief wash over her.
“Thank goodness, it’s nothing serious.” Then, remembering her manners, she turned to the doctor. “Thank <i>you</i>, thank you,
doctor.”
“Of course,” the doctor smiled, saying no more before turning back inside.
Hugo felt a wave of relief wash over him, his tense expression easing slightly.
The old man nced at Hugo, rolling his eyes with a hint of sarcasm, “You really know how to pick a hospital.”
Hugo was left speechless.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to see Scarlett.”
With that, he didn’t give Hugo a chance to respond, grabbing Fourth and Second and turning to leave.
He didn’t even bother to acknowledge Audrey as he walked past.
By the time Audrey turned around, the old man was already walking away with the two kids, leaving her frowning in
thought.
Those two kids…
Before she could think further, Tiana was wheeled out, and Audrey immediately rushed over.
“Tiana, Tiana, are you okay? Are you alright?”

In Scarlett’s hospital room.
As soon as the old man brought them in, Fourth and Second rushed over to Scarlett.
“Scarlett.”
“Scarlett.”
Scarlett’s pale face lit up with a smile as she looked at the two kids. “You’re back?”
“Yeah, I missed you so much,” Fourth said, unable to resist being a bit clingy.
“Have you been behaving?” Scarlett asked.

“Of course,” Fourth replied.
At that moment, Old Hodges chimed in with augh, “Fourth and Second have been very good, very well–behaved, and
quite charming.”
Scarlett smiled at Old Hodges, “Thank you for taking care of them, Grandpa Hodges. I hope they weren’t too much
trouble.”
“Don’t mention it… I’m more than happy to help. It’s no trouble at all. If you ever need help like this again, just let me know.
I love kids,” Old Hodges said, wishing he could take care of them forever, though he couldn’t show it too openly.
William watched the scene unfold, feeling both sympathetic and a bit helpless for Old Hodges.
Then Fourth couldn’t help but speak up, “Scarlett, I saw ady outside being mean to a man.”
Uh–oh…
The atmosphere became slightly awkward for a few seconds.
“What do you mean by a meandy?” William asked.
“Um…” Fourth was pondering how to exin.
Just then, Grandpa He quickly jumped in, “Oh, it’s like this. Hugo’s assistant fainted from low blood sugar and was taken

to the hospital. Her mother happened to be there too, and she was a bit loud.”
Clearly, he was trying to exin things for his grandson.
Scarlett Adler smiled, “I saw it earlier.”

“You saw it?” Grandpa He was taken aback.
He had intended to exin further, but hearing this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious for Hugo. His grandson really
had a knack for getting into situations, and luck seemed to be on his side.
Out of all the hospitals, they had to choose that one, and someone had to witness it.
No chance to exin now.
Well, it boils down to two words: serves him right.
<b>At </b>this point, William Adler understood what was going on and couldn’t help but sneer, “You know, Hugo is really
something. When he should mind his own business, he doesn’t, and when he shouldn’t, he takes everything upon
himself.”
Such a clear jab, how could Grandpa He not get it?
But if he wanted to <i>see </i>his precious great–grandchildren in the future, he had to be on the same page as them!
As for Hugo, let them criticize him all they want.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to help; it’s that he can’t.
Well, let’s see how things turn out!
Scarlett wasn’t really paying attention to what they were saying. She was lost in her own thoughts.
“Grandpa, can you ask the doctor when I can be discharged?” she asked.
William frowned at the question. “Discharged? Why would you want to leave the hospital now? You’re in no condition to go home!”

<b>“</b>It’s just some minor injuries. I can recover at home,” Scarlett replied.
“Minor injuries? You have fractures and a concussion! You’ll need at least ten days to a couple of weeks here!” William
insisted.
“I know my body, and I really don’t need to stay,” Scarlett said.
“No way. You need to recover properly. We’ll leave when the doctor says <i>you </i>can,” William said firmly.
“Grandpa…”
Old Mr. Adler listened, subconsciously thinking Scarlett wanted to leave because of Hugo Hodges.
He thought to himself, this could be a big deal!
He couldn’t help but speak up, “Scarlett, listen to your grandpa. Your injuries could be serious or minor; you can’t take
chances.”
“I know you’re all worried, but I understand my own body,” Scarlett reassured them.
Despite the two old men trying to persuade her, Scarlett seemed resolute.
At that moment, Mr. Adler gave Fourth and Second a quick look, and the two kids immediately understood.
“Scarlett, are you upset?” Fourth asked, looking at her.
“Upset? Upset about what?” Scarlett replied, puzzled.
“Upset with Uncle…” Fourth’s voice grew quieter.
But this was exactly what everyone was thinking but didn’t dare to ask.
Scarlett frowned, feeling confused.
Second quickly chirned in, “Scarlett, your great–grandfather is just worried about you. If you leave the hospital now, won’t
that make thern worry?”
Scarlett nced at William, her brow furrowed.

“How about this? Great–grandfather can ask the doctor what they think, okay?” Second suggested.
Before Scarlett could respond, Second continued, “Scarlett, you need to set an example. You have to take care of your
health and look after yourself.”
With everythingid out like that, Scarlett had nothing left to say.
Looking at Second, Scarlett couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, you win.”
Second immediately beamed. “Scarlett, you’re the best!”
Seeing Scarlett agree, William finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even Grandpa Hurst, standing nearby, quietly rxed.
However, at that moment, Grandpa Hurst discreetly picked up his phone and sent a message.
You rascal, it’s all up to your own luck now!
