Sweet Twins

Chapter 723 It Doesn't Matter

Hardy was shocked to hear what Frederic had to say. Frederic even wanted to fire Nancy.

"Dad, Nancy's work has nothing to do with this..."

Before Hardy could speak further, Frederic stopped him and said, "Hardy, what do you want to say?"

Hardy feared Frederic his whole life. As soon as the old man finished his words, Hardy decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Okay, Mr. Fu. I shall take my leave as soon as the day is finished. I resign." Nancy was stubborn as well. She had done nothing wrong, and she wouldn't yield to anyone.

"Okay. Pack your things," Frederic said in a sharp tone.

"Okay. Goodbye, sir. This will be the last day you see me here." Nancy turned around after she spoke.

"I think you may have gone too far, Dad," Hardy said anxiously. "What if Charles gets angry? You know him. He's a stubborn man."

"I know Charles well. So what? Hardy, if Charles marries Nancy, then I will kill myself. She will never marry into this family."

"Do not forget that she is the mother of your great-grandchildren. What about the kids? Are you going to give them to Nancy?" Hardy was born weak. He was the kind of person who would freeze whenever held under duress.

His wife, Angelina, had always disliked him for his cowardice.

"Tell Charles to fight tooth and nail for Bobby. Nadia can leave with Nancy if Nancy wants. Don't give Nancy any money. That self-righteous woman badly needs a lesson, after all. How could she be

against Charles' uncle? Since she doesn't treat Derrick as her family, she won't be able to marry into our family then," Frederic grunted. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"You must watch your temper, Dad. I'll call Charles right now." Hardy patted Frederic's chest before leaving to call Charles.

Charles' eyelids kept twitching throughout that day. He truly felt uneasy, for some unfathomable reason.

He had told Colten many of Derrick's crimes. Charles didn't know what the consequences would be, yet he decided to fulfill his promise to Nancy.

He knew that, sooner or later, Derrick would have to pay for his sins.

Rather unexpectedly, Charles received a call from Hardy. Charles' heart sank as he hurriedly answered the call.

"Charles, something bad has happened. Don't worry. Listen to what I'll tell you," Hardy said slowly and clearly.

Charles grew increasingly worried, yet he effectively hid his anxiety. "Dad, is Grandpa okay?" That was the first thing that came to his mind. He was truly worried for the old man's health.

"Your grandfather is not doing very well," Hardy said as he looked at Frederic's gloomy face.

"What's wrong with him?" Charles became more anxious. He clenched his fists and his face darkened.

Hearing how calm Hardy was, Frederic decided to grab the phone. "I'm not doing well because of you, Charles. I do not appreciate your woman. Stay away from Nancy. She must not step into Fu family residence again. After all of our generosity, she pays us by throwing Derrick under the bus! I want both of Bobby and Nadia in our custody. But if Nancy insists, let her have Nadia. As long as I am alive, there will be no marriage between you and her!"

Frederic hung up before Charles could even say another word.

Charles called back, yet his grandfather did not answer.

'Why is Grandpa so angry?

Does it have anything to do with Nancy?

What did she do? Didn't I tell her that I would take care of the case of the club? Why was she so eager to interfere?

How could a woman handle such things?'

Charles called Nancy after his phone call with Hardy. Nancy didn't answer either.

She was packing her things at that moment.

"Director Nancy, are you really leaving?" Erin was one of the many people who did not want to see Nancy leave the hospital. Over the years, the two had developed a sister-like relationship

"Well, you should continue to work here and listen to Director Brandy," Nancy said with a smile.

Erin's tears pooled as she childishly said, "I don't want you to leave."

The other doctors and nurses stood behind her. They said, "Director Nancy, please stay with us. Just talk to Mr. Fu. There is still hope that Mr. Fu can rectify this."

With a bitter smile, Nancy shrugged. She knew Charles too well. He valued Frederic more than his own life. Besides, Frederic was still seriously ill.

Nancy wouldn't say anything to Charles.

There was no way Nancy would stay in the hospital, especially after what had happened with Derrick.

"I know you don't want me to leave, and I don't want you to leave either. But given what just happened, I have no choice. I will go to see Nana and then leave. Don't say anything more. Goodbye," Nancy said.

"Nancy, are you really leaving us for good?" Brandy asked.

"Well, yes. I'll leave the work here to you." Nancy longingly looked back at the office that used to be hers. The last time she left here was because of Charles. She could act like a spoiled child and say a few words to soften his heart. But this time, things were different. It was Frederic's idea. Charles couldn't change that no matter what.

"Well, Nancy, I'll take care of this department for you, for the time being. When you come back, I'll hand it right back to you," Brandy said.

"Thank you, but I don't think I will ever come back again." Nancy then smiled and left.

Some patients' families came out of the wards and said goodbye to Nancy.

Nancy felt sad and didn't know what else to say. All she could manage to do was smile.

As Nancy entered Nana's ward, she found the girl sitting on the edge of the bed while holding a small mirror in her hand. Nana's hands were trembling as she did her makeup.

Seeing Nancy, she put down the mirror and said, "Nancy."

Even with makeup on, Nana's face was still horribly pale.

Hearing her voice alone, Nancy knew that Nana had improved immensely.

"Nana, are you feeling better?" Nancy asked with concern.
