Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Where Does He Sleep?
"Mummy... is that okay?"
The children each blinked their puppy-dog eyes, looking at Charlotte Thompson innocently and pitifully.
Charlotte, helpless, held her forehead, "The beds at home won’t fit everyone."
"It’s all right, it’s all right, we can sleep on the floor," Hank Thompson said, waving his hand dismissively.
"That’s right, it’s not cold now, sleeping on the floor won’t make us sick," Grace Thompson chimed in to support the idea.
Charlotte really couldn’t find a reason to rebut at that moment.
Just as Charlotte was about to give in, someone opened the door to the ward; everyone turned their heads to see Justin Battleson walk in.
Justin Battleson showed a hint of surprise when he saw Charlotte and the children.
He had intended to pick up Charlotte and Grace first and then go to the nursery to get the other children, but unexpectedly, the kids had arrived earlier.
"Daddy!"
Grace grinned as she walked up to Justin Battleson, extending her hand, gesturing for him to lift her.
Justin naturally followed Grace’s motions and swept her up into his arms.
"How’s Grace feeling today? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?" Justin naturally cared about Grace’s condition, reaching out to pinch her little nose.
Grace wrapped her arms around Justin’s neck, leaning back to dodge his gesture, then shook her head and said,
"The nurse who checked on Grace earlier said there’s nothing seriously wrong with me anymore, and I can be discharged and go home tonight."
"Good, Daddy will take you home now."
Justin nodded and turned to look at the rest of the children.
Suddenly, Justin thought of Adam Ross whom he had seen earlier and asked, "Did Uncle Adam take you to the hospital?"
Hank stood up from beside Charlotte and nodded, "Uncle Adam was originally picking up Jack and Chad, but when he heard that Grace was hospitalized, he brought us all here. He also said Jack and Chad could stay with us this weekend."
"Did you see Adam Ross?" Charlotte asked while tidying up things in her hands, looking at Justin.
Justin listened and nodded, "I saw him when I arrived at the hospital."
"Daddy, Daddy, let’s go home quickly, Grace wants to eat lots of delicious food today," Grace said out loud.
"Your great-grandmother knew you were being discharged today, so she’s prepared a lot of delicious food at Stardust Garden, just waiting for Grace to return."
Justin put Grace down and ruffled her hair with his hand.
"Yay, yay, time to go back for a big meal," Grace said smilingly, clapping her hands.
Although Grace seemed lively, Justin noticed that her lips were slightly pale.
Justin walked over to Charlotte’s side and took her hand, "Let’s go."
"So Mummy, will you be with us today?" Olivia Thompson spoke from beside Charlotte.
Because of Olivia’s question, the topic that was already being passed over was brought up again.
"If Mummy doesn’t say anything, then it’s a yes by default," Hank quickly piped up.
"You little rascals," Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"What did you promise them?" Justin inquired.
"Mummy promised to sleep with us tonight," Grace said, lifting her cheeks, her smile revealing a shallow dimple.
"Sleep with them?" Justin was taken aback, "Didn’t you use to lull them to sleep before?"
"This time is different, this time we want to sleep in the same bed with Mummy," Hank explained.
Justin furrowed his brow.
If Charlotte and the children are sleeping together, where does that leave him to sleep?
