Even though she knew his words were meant tofort her, Scarlett felt a wave of gratitude.
“Thank you, Grandpa Hector,” she said.
“We’re family, no need for formalities!” Grandpa Hector replied with a smile.
Scarlett gazed at him, choosing to remain silent.
Family?
Hugo raised an eyebrow at this, ncing over at Scarlett.
Seeing herck of reaction, he allowed a small smile to y on his lips.
At that moment, Grandpa Hector approached Hugo, looking at him sternly. “You rascal, such
a big event happened, and you didn’t even tell me! If it weren’t for Old Zhong, I’d still be in the
dark!”
Hugo’s lips curled slightly. “I just woke up myself. I wanted to tell you, but I needed the
chance!”
“If you hadn’t done something decent by saving Scarlett, I’d have cut ties with you!”
“Would you really?”
“What’s there to hesitate about?”

“If you cut ties with me, then Fourth and Second, you won’t be able to im them either. I’d
take them with me!” Hugo said with a yful tone.
Mr. Adler frowned, “How can you have such wild ideas? I’ve already told you, these two kids
have nothing to do with you!”
“Whether they do or not isn’t for you to decide!” Hugo said, his gaze shifting to Scarlett.
He wore a thin smile, his eyes full of ambiguity.
Mr. Adler paused, then looked at Scarlett too.
“Scarlett, you…”
Scarlett thought for a moment before speaking, “Grandpa Adler, they… are indeed part of the
Hodges family. I’m sorry for keeping it from you all these years.”
Hearing Scarlett admit it herself meant Mr. Adler could openly show affection to them now.
He could express his love without restraint!
Like Old Mr. Hodges, he was officially recognized as their great–grandfather!
No longer would he have to watch Old Mr. Hodges and the kids with envy!
The thought was incredibly exciting!
But then, seeing Hugo’s smug expression, Mr. Adler sighed, “Why did you admit it?”
Hugo was taken aback, “…???”

His smile faltered a bit, and he frowned, “You don’t seem pleased with this oue?”
Mr. Herr looked at him sternly, “I refuse to be threatened by you!”
“I’m afraid you won’t get your wish!” Hugo couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Scarlett
admitting those two kids were his.
But then, something crossed his mind.
Yesterday, at thest moment, a child had rushed out, kicking and punching Wade, almost
stabbing him…
Hugo narrowed his eyes and turned to Scarlett, “Is there something else you need to tell me?”
Scarlett paused, meeting his gaze, “What?”
“Yesterday, there was another child…” Hugo looked at her intently, “What’s the story there?”
Scarlett pressed her lips together, listening to his words.
Mr. Herr was taken aback, his eyes darting between them, “Another child? What do you
mean? What are <i>you </i>talking about?”
Hugo remained silent, his gaze fixed on Scarlett.
He remembered the child’s face, the timing was too coincidental. Yesterday, there hadn’t
been time to discuss it further, but that didn’t mean he was clueless or without suspicion!
Scarlett didn’t say a word.
This loose end hadn’t slipped away after all.

“Aren’t you going to exin?” Hugo asked, looking at her.
Scarlett thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, it’s exactly what you think.”
Hugo’s eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.
His excitement was almost palpable as he looked at Scarlett.

“So, he’s my child too?” Hugo asked,pletely ignoring the old man’s impatience.
The two seemed to be speaking in code, and Scarlett replied, “Why don’t you ask him when he
gets here? I don’t know if he’ll want to admit it.”
Who cares about admitting it or not?
What’s important is that he’s Hugo’s child too, right?
“So, not two, but three?” Hugo asked, barely containing his excitement.
Scarlett pressed her lips together, thinking for a while before asking, “Are you surprised?”
Surprised was an understatement.
Even though he couldn’t quite grasp the situation, Hugo was beyond thrilled.
“Hugo, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?” Scarlett asked, wondering if there
might be a fourth or even a fifth surprise.
“Rx, this is thest one rted to you!”
“It better be!” Hugo replied.
Mr. Hodges, standing nearby, was getting quite anxious.
“What are you two talking about with all this ‘second and third‘ business?” Mr. Hodges asked,
clearly impatient.
Hugo turned to him, “You’ve always said the Hodges family was too small, right? Well, now you won’t have to worry anymore!”

“What do you mean?” Mr. Hodges asked.
Hugo thought about First’s face and smiled, “It means…”
Just as he was about to exin, the door swung open.

First and Tara walked in, carrying breakfast. “Scarlett, I brought you some breakfast…”
Before finishing his sentence, First froze, seeing the room full of people.
Hugo was awake.
Mr. Hodges was there too.
First’s gaze moved over them.
And they were all looking back at him.
Uh–oh, is it toote to back out now?
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.
Hugo squinted his eyes as he looked at First.
Just then, the old man spoke excitedly, “Aren’t you the kid from the other day?” He approached First, asking, “How did you end up here?”
“I…” First hesitated, ncing subtly at Scarlett.
The old man continued with enthusiasm, “Hugo, this is the kid I told you about–the one who coaxed me into taking my medicine and gave me candy. Doesn’t he look just like you?”

He looked at Hugo with a pleased expression, as if to say, “See, I wasn’t imagining things!”
Hugo remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on First.
The old man kept on, “He looks just like you did when you were young, even more than Fourth
and Second do…”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was off. He nced between First, Hugo, and
Scarlett.
After a moment, he stammered, “You mentioned something about two and three… Could this
be the third one?” The old man asked incredulously, looking at them for confirmation.
Hugo didn’t say a word.
Scarlett didn’t deny it.
Wasn’t the answer obvious enough?
“He… he is too?” Mr. Hodges stammered, barely able to get the words out in his shock.
No <i>one </i>spoke.
No one answered.
At that moment, Mr. Hodges turned his head, looking at First with disbelief. “Kid, tell me,
what’s your name? Who’s your mom?”
