Chapter 597: Senile Dementia

Lucas took Amelia to Williams ward.

Overjoyed to see Amelia, Cheyenne hugged her fragrant, soft, and adorable daughter and kissed her incessantly.

Amelia still didnt know what Williams condition was, and she merely thought that he was sleeping because he was sick. So she even said a lot of childish things to him under Cheyennes teaching.

The family of three had a wonderful time in the hospital ward.

Meanwhile, Karen immediately called Moses after she was far away from Lucass sight.

Whats going on? Why didnt you answer my calls just now? Moses questioned.

Karen thought in displeasure,

If you hadnt taken your sweet time going to the kindergarten, would things have turned out this way?

She told him how Lucas had suddenly appeared when she was waiting with Amelia at the entrance of the kindergarten and brought Amelia to the hospital, which resulted in the failure.

Moses flew into a rage and yelled unceremoniously, Are you stupid? You cant even handle such a simple matter! Since I couldnt arrive in time, couldnt you have found a place yourself and taken the kid away first?

Karen was enraged to be yelled at, and she retorted, I called you beforehand. If you hadnt been late, I would have handed Amelia to you. Whats the point of yelling at me now? How could I have known that Lucas would suddenly appear?!

Shut up! I wont allow you to talk back to me! Moses was infuriated too.

He had indeed gone over at the agreed time. But his car had suddenly broken down on the way, so he had to move to another car. But halfway through the journey, he had encountered a roadblock due to a traffic accident, leaving him with no choice but to take a detour and end up late.

It wasnt like he wanted to be late.

Karen was clearly the incompetent one who didnt even have the common sense to take Amelia away. He felt that she was a complete fool!

Do whatever you must, but you have to hand Lucass daughter over to me before two tomorrow afternoon! Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!

What? Do you know that my granddaughter has already returned to her parents side now? How am I supposed to bring her out? Karen immediately screamed.

Even when she went to pick up Amelia from kindergarten today, she had to act like a good mother in front of Cheyenne for a long time before she could finally get the opportunity to carry out her plan.

But it was the weekend tomorrow, and since Amelia wasnt going to school, it would be impossible for Karen to try and pick her up again!

Hmph, thats what you have to think about! Anyway, I must see her before two tomorrow afternoon! Moses ordered in a commanding tone and hung up before Karen could even say anything.

Karen looked at her phones screen, which showed that the call had ended, and was furious.

Moses could actually speak to her in such a commanding tone, yet she had no room to retort because he had evidence against her.

She sulked and thought about it for a long time before finally coming up with a solution. She then walked toward Williams ward.

Upon returning to the ward, Karen immediately heard the sound of warm laughter.

Lucas, Cheyenne, and Amelia were all sitting by Williams side and chatting. They were laughing non-stop and smiling happily.

But their laughter and smiles were an eyesore to Karen.

She was now living in fear every single day, yet these people opposite her were all smiling happily. It was an utter eyesore to her!

Lucas glanced at Karen and suddenly asked, Didnt you just say you were going to buy something? What did you buy?

!

Only then did Karen remember that she had hurried away to call Moses just now under the pretext that she was going to buy something. In the end, she was so preoccupied with worrying about how to abduct Amelia before noon tomorrow that she forgot to buy anything again!

Uh I Karen quickly tried to come up with an excuse.

At this moment, Cheyenne frowned slightly and said worriedly, Mom, did you forget to buy something again? Youve said twice today that you wanted to buy something, but you ended up coming back empty-handed. Are you really exhausted lately? Why dont you go for a full-body checkup?

Cheyenne was really worried.

In the afternoon, Karen had said that her memory was failing her because she was getting old. She had even comforted Karen then. But forgetting the same thing twice within a day was not a good sign.

If she was forgetful because she was exhausted, it wouldnt be too bad. But if it was because of a disease like senile dementia it would be terrible!

Thus, Cheyenne felt that it was better to arrange a full body checkup for Karen right away, in case there was really something wrong with her. Since the medical expert Maddy was still around, she could help look at Karens condition as well.

Karen chuckled wryly and quickly refused, Nah, Im fine! Im just too worried about your fathers condition, and its all thats been on my mind lately, so I keep forgetting what I have to do. Im perfectly fine. Dont worry!

Cheyenne persuaded her a few more times, but Karen firmly said that there was nothing wrong with her health. Only then did Cheyenne give up for the time being.

The few of them gathered around Amelia to chat for a while more when Cheyenne suddenly smacked her forehead and said to Lucas with some chagrin, Look at me. I almost forgot that its the weekend tomorrow! What should we do about Amelia? Surely we cant make her stay with us in the hospital all day, right?

Although there was a TV in Williams ward, it was usually off because they didnt want it to be too noisy. Besides, there was no other entertainment equipment here. Amelia was only a five-year-old child, and shed definitely be bored out of her mind if she stayed in the hospital for an entire day.

Lucas said, Why dont you take Amelia home tomorrow to rest for a day and keep her company? With me watching William in the hospital, you dont have to worry about anything.

Before Cheyenne could say anything, Amelia tugged Lucass sleeve and pulled Cheyennes finger with her other hand. She said aggrievedly, No, I want to stay with Mommy and Daddy! Its been so long since we spent time together! Ive missed you guys so much!

Seeing Amelias eyes, both Lucas and Cheyenne couldnt reject her.

They had been so busy lately that they didnt have any time for their daughter at all. They could only leave her in Graces care, which had been making them riddled with guilt. How could they possibly reject her tiny request?

Karen was elated, and she hurriedly said, You guys have to stay by your fathers side all day. How about I take Amelia out tomorrow? She told me today that she wanted to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. But I didnt agree because I thought it was too late to go there today. In the end, she got upset and said she wanted to ignore me.

She shamelessly put the blame on the five-year-old Amelia just because she was a child. She even revealed the plan that she had just thought of when she was downstairs.

Indeed, her plan was to take advantage of the weekend and take Amelia out again!
