Leo hid the medicine in his pocket and brought it home.

Charlie happened to be sitting in the living room watching TV. When he saw Leo come back, he casually asked, “Where did you go? It’s so late.”

Charlie meant nothing by his question, but Leo immediately jumped up since he had a guilty conscience.

“What are you doing?” Penelope looked at Leo in confusion and said, “Your grandfather is talking to you!”

“Nothing! I, I just went out for a walk,” Leo replied, forcing himself to stay calm.

Though Penelope felt that her son was a little strange today, she didn’t think too much

about it.

With the intention of pleasing Charlie, Penelope said, “Now that you’ve come back, you can watch TV with your grandfather. Ben and Susan are so busy with work that they haven’t come home yet even though it’s late. Only the two of us can spend more time keeping your grandfather company.”

Penelope had originally planned to make Leo get closer to Charlie.

In the past, Leo would have probably listened to his mother.

Today, however, since he felt guilty, he only said with an awkward smile, “Grandpa, Mom, I still have something to do, so I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Hey, why are you…” Penelope shouted anxiously.

Charlie glanced at Penelope and said lightly, “You don’t have to force the kid.”

“Grandpa, I’ll keep you company tomorrow!” Leo said as he fled upstairs.

Charlie didn’t mind it, so he only cast a glance at Leo before looking away.

He thought he was already an old man, and the children all had their own lives, so he

couldn’t let them be tied to the house with him all the time.

Penelope hurriedly explained, “Dad, Leo loves you the most. I believe he didn’t do it on purpose just now. Most likely, he does have something very important to deal with.”

Charlie waved his hand, implying that he didn’t mind.

Penelope fell silent, but she still secretly felt that Leo had just behaved badly.

After staying with Charlie for a while, she excused herself and went to Leo’s room.

As she pushed the door open, Leo cried out in horror, “Who is it?”

He instinctively covered what was on the table with his hand.

Seeing that it was Penelope, his face slightly relaxed, but he kept his hand on the table.

Penelope gave him a suspicious look before she closed the door.

“What are you covering with your hand? Show me!” Penelope walked over.

“Mom, it’s nothing, it’s nothing,” replied Leo in a panic.

The more he acted like this, the more Penelope was curious about what he was covering. “Take your hand away! I’m your mother. What do you need to hide from me?”

Leo hesitated.

Penelope took the advantage of it and moved his hand away.

Then, she saw the medicine covered by Leo.

Penelope’s face instantly changed. She grabbed Leo by the hand and asked anxiously, “Leo! What’s wrong? Are you sick? What kind of sickness is it? Why didn’t you tell me?”

As she spoke, she began to whine. “How miserable my life is! My husband died prematurely, and now my son is ill. Leo, if something happens to you, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Leo hurriedly covered Penelope’s mouth in embarrassment and said, “Mom, keep your voice down. I’m fine. I’m not sick.”

Hearing that Leo was not sick, Penelope stopped crying at once. She took Leo’s hand away

and asked, “Then what’s wrong with you?”

Afraid that Penelope would yowl again, Leo did not dare to hesitate and quickly told her what Isabella had told him.

As Penelope listened, her expression kept changing.

“Mom, I’ve promised Isabella to cooperate with her,” Leo said through gritted teeth, “I won’t let anything happen to grandpa. If grandpa doesn’t have a heart attack, we’ll pretend that nothing happened. If he does, Isabella and I will give first aid treatment to him as soon as possible!”

Penelope was still thinking.

Leo said unhurriedly, “Mom, you asked me to spend more time keeping Grandpa company win his favor, but this method is too slow. Among the ways to win his favor, what’s better than saving his life?”

Penelope blinked and was tempted. She said, “What you said makes some sense.”

“When Ben and Susan go to the company tomorrow, I’ll invite Isabella home. Then, we’ll think of a way to let grandpa take this medicine! Mom, you have to help me,” Leo said.

Penelope’s expression changed before she finally made up her mind. “Alright, I’ll help you!”

It was only normal for Penelope to choose to stand on the side of her biological soh instead of that of her father–in–law, who was partial.

“Okay.” Leo curved his lips into a satisfied smile. “Tomorrow, we’ll…”

He began to plot with Penelope.

The next morning, Leo called Isabella to determine the time for her to come in the

morning.

Isabella was also excited when she received Leo’s call.

She thought to herself, “As long as I save Old Mr. Landor, Ben will owe me a favor! Then, I

can take advantage of this to replace an excuse to get close to Ben.”

Leo and Penelope were also itching to win Charlie’s favor.

Just as the three of them were ready to take action, something unexpected had happened.

It was out of their expectations that Ben and Susan were not going to the company today!

After breakfast, Ben said, “Grandpa, do you have any plans for today? Susan and I are free today, so we plan to spend a good time with you.”

“Oh?” Charlie was a little surprised. “I haven’t seen you being so considerate before.”

Ben let out a cough and said, “Susan reminded me.”

In the past, Ben was immersed in his world. Although he cared about his grandfather very much, he did not have the inclination to keep his grandfather company.

Charlie chuckled and said, “It obviously shows how important it is to marry a good wife.”

“That’s right,” Ben echoed.

Susan pinched Ben gently and said, “Grandpa, Ben himself also intended to spend more time with you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed immediately after I suggested.”

“I know you’re all good kids,” Charlie praised as he grinned from ear to ear.

Leo and Penelope were extremely flustered.

The first step of their plan was to wait for Ben and Susan to leave before calling Isabella

over.

However, now they wondered whether they should still stick to the plan when they were hindered at the beginning.

Leo hurriedly said, “Ben, you and Susan both have work to do. Go ahead with your work. Don’t worry, mom and I will take care of everything at home.”

Penelope echoed, “Yes, yes, I’ll keep dad company. Don’t worry.”

The two of them seemed to be extremely anxious.

Ben looked at them in bewilderment and said, “All of you and I are going to stay with

grandpa together. Is there a problem?”

“But, Ben!” Leo tried his best to persuade him. “You’re the CEO and can earn millions in minutes. It delays you so much to spend the whole day with grandpa. Isn’t business more important!”

Charlie put down his flatware and snapped, “What do you mean? Is Ben not allowed to keep me company for a whole day?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.” Leo panicked.

“Stop saying anything if you don’t know how to speak properly.” Charlie sounded event

angrier.

Leo could do nothing but shut his mouth in embarrassment.

He was afraid that the plan couldn’t be carried out today.

Just as he was about to tell Isabella to come tomorrow, the housekeeper came to report, “Miss Smith who came yesterday, is here again. She said she was invited here by Mr. Leo.”

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Leo.

Leo complained in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and explained, “Yes, I asked her to come here. Grandpa, didn’t you say that you wanted me to start a new business? Well, since she’s going to start a company as well, I want to discuss with her to see if we can

cooperate.”

“It’s up to you.” Charlie snorted. “I happen to have an appointment to play chess with someone. Ben, Susan, come with me.”

Ben and Susan agreed.

“Don’t go!” Leo flustered and quickly stood in front of Charlie.

After all, there would be no way to carry out the plan if Charlie wasn’t around.

“What the hell are you doing?” Charlie glared at Leo.

“I… I’m still inexperienced, so Grandpa, I’d like to listen to your advice. Can you stay and

help me?” Leo said with a pleading look.

“That’s right.” Penelope quickly echoed, “Dad, they are both too young and inexperienced. If they go the wrong way, it will be troublesome. You have to help them.”

“Grandpa, I really need your advice” Leo pleaded as sincerely as he could.

Charlie slowly calmed down.

In truth, as the head of the family, Charlie had no sense of accomplishment.

Ben had never bothered him since he was a child.

Ben took over the Storm Group and turned the tide on his own without Charlie’s help.

Therefore, when his other grandson was looking at him eagerly, saying that he needed him, Charlie was complacent.

Charlie couldn’t help glancing at Ben and saying, “Look, I’m old but still of use.”

Ben raised his eyebrows and said, “Who dares to say that Grandpa is of no use?”

Charlie sat down on the sofa with satisfaction and said, “Alright, let that little girl come over. Let’s see if my advice can help you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Leo secretly heaved a long sigh of relief.

He quickly asked someone to lead Isabella in to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“I’ll go prepare some snacks.” Penelope got up and went to the kitchen.

“I’ll go with you, Mrs. Landor,” Susan said as she also stood up.

“No, no need,” Penelope hurriedly said, “Susan, you are experienced, Leo also needs your advice to make the decision. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the food preparation.”

Seeing that Penelope insisted, Susan didn’t go with her and sat back down.

Penelope finally wiped her cold sweat off and quickly went to the kitchen.

When Isabella entered the living room, she saw that Ben and Susan were also there.

She was slightly flustered at first but calmed down very soon.

She felt it was good that Ben was here.

She thought the others would surely panic when Charlie’s disease flared up later.

But she was different. She had learned how to do CPR online in advance. Last night, she had even practiced it with a doll.

She was confident that she would knock Ben’s socks off when he saw her calmly give Charlie the emergency treatment and call the physician at the same time.
