Nan Chen nodded, acknowledging his grandpa’s kind understanding regarding this matter.

“Thanks, grandpa,” Nan Chen said as he looked towards the floor.

“I’m only agreeing to this because of you. Otherwise, I would never have entertained the possibility of letting them return,” the elderly man said.

Nan Chen thanked his grandpa again.

“Ok, ok. That’s enough. You shouldn’t worry too much as well. It’s all predestined that we each have our own hour,” the elderly man tried to comfort his grandson.

“Yup. Have an early rest, grandpa.”

Nan Chen could finally let out a sigh of relief after leaving his grandpa’s study.

Now that he had gotten his grandpa’s approval, the next thing to do was to verify the legitimacy of his mom’s illness. After getting confirmation, his parents would be able to return to the country.

However, Nan Chen was having conflicted emotions. If his mom had really faked her cancer, the couple would not be able to return.

As such, even though he hoped his mother was still healthy, he also hoped that his parents would be able to return to the country.

As Nan Chen pondered over the possible scenarios, he had subconsciously walked to his kids’ rooms.

The lights were already switched off and the children were in bed.

After hesitating a few seconds, Nan Chen ended up going into Erbao’s room.

The gentle light coming from the kiddish bedside lamp cast a warm glow on the little girl’s sleeping face.

Erbao fidgeted a lot in her sleep, and one of her chubby legs was sticking out of her blanket.

Nan Chen gently pushed her leg back under the blanket and made sure the little girl was properly covered, before turning off the bedside lamp.

After that, he went into Dabao’s room. The boy was more well-behaved in his sleep and had switched off his bedside lamp.

However, he was a light sleeper and woke up the moment Nan Chen entered his room.

Nan Chen felt bad that he had disturbed the boy in his sleep. He would not have come in if he had known it would wake his son up.

“Third Uncle, you’re back?” Dabao sounded happy to see the man.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have come in and roused you from your sleep.”

“No worries, Third Uncle. I’ve already slept enough. It wouldn’t affect me.” Dabao suddenly sat up.
