Sweet Twins
Chapter 429 Cherish His Life

Frederic nodded and said, "Good. You have guts. But since Derrick's car accident has nothing to do with you or Charles, then who is the culprit? Hiram? He works for Charles. If Charles didn't give him the orders, would he still do it?"

"I don't think Hiram would do such a stupid thing," said Nancy.

"Oh, does it have nothing to do with anyone then? Did Derrick want to kill himself?" Frederic shouted angrily.

Angelina and Nancy fell silent.

It was a sign that they acquiesced in Frederic's words.

"What do you mean? Do you think Derrick committed suicide? I'm telling you, I know Derrick very well. Anyone can commit suicide but he wasn't the type. He cherished his life way too much. Humph!" Frederic said confidently.

A long time ago, Derrick drank expired milk and got food poisoning. When he spent that time in the hospital, he cried for three days and nights. He was just so terrified that he couldn't help getting emotional, much to the amusement of the hospital staff. How could a man who was so afraid of death commit suicide?

"What do you think, Mr. Fu?" asked Nancy. Frederic wasn't going to believe her no matter what she said. He already made up his mind that the murderer was either her or Charles.

Frederic looked at Nancy. No matter how much he hated her, he couldn't help but think that if she did really try to kill Derrick, she wouldn't be this calm.

"In my opinion, if you want to prove your innocence you have to show me evidence. Release Joseph as soon as possible." Frederic's voice softened. It was clear what he was becoming. He was sick and old. He couldn't even read the short document without getting dizzy and what was worse was that Joseph would be of even less help. He couldn't watch the TS Group decline like this. It wouldn't be long before the TS group fell back into Charles' hands.

He had already spoken his mind though. How could he just retract his statements?

He still had to save face.

He had to replace an excuse for his own sake.

Hearing Frederic's voice soften, Angelina winked at Nancy, suggesting that she should try to coax him.

Nancy was never a heartless person. She completely understood that Frederic could have made snap decisions without thinking.

So she too softened her voice. "Mr. Fu, I can promise to replace evidence for you, but you have to promise me to let Charles go back to work."

"Is that all you're going to do? That's too easy for that bastard!" Frederic said, outraged.

"What else do you want me to do?" asked Nancy helplessly.

"Humph, you need to take responsibility for what happened between you and Charles," Frederic snorted.

"You mean you want me to leave Charles?" asked Nancy.

"I'm not forcing you to leave Charles. But you can't marry him till this whole situation is solved, okay?" Frederic knew everything about Charles. The reason he left the TS Group was because he wanted to be with Nancy. Before he knows it, they'd be married. Nancy rubbed her forehead anxiously. She just agreed to Charles' proposal last night. Could she go back on her word so quickly?

"What? You can't even agree to such a small request?" Frederic's face turned red.

Angelina was anxious. She tugged at Nancy's clothes and whispered, "Nancy, your children are grown now anyway. What's the hurry? Think about it. Charles lived for this job. Since he lost his career, he must be distraught. You have to think of him in this whole thing. You can't be too selfish, especially if you want to be his wife. Moreover, you have two children."

Annoyed by Angelina's nagging, Nancy interrupted her, "Okay, I see." Then she looked at Frederic and said, "Mr. Fu, I promise you that I won't marry Charles for the time being."

"You can't marry Charles until you figure out what happened in the car accident. That's the deal." Frederic shut his eyes angrily and said, "The Fu family is a respectable one. I can't allow filth into my family. If you want to marry Charles, you'd better clean yourself first." Nancy sighed. She had explained all that she could. What else could she do?

"Well, I don't know what else I can say. I'm in no hurry to marry into your family, but Charles..."

"Yes, I know that Charles is obsessed with you and doesn't even know who he is. You know who you are, right?" questioned Frederic.

"I know. So you don't want me to be with Charles, do you?" Frederic believed that because of his status he could talk to Nancy anyway he pleased.

Nancy had an impulse to leave, but what Angelina said made sense. Charles loved his career. If he left the TS Group for her, she would never be at ease.

So for Charles' sake, she had to just endure this abuse.

"Not really. I wanted to ask you something. Is Charles really the father of your two kids?" Frederic raised an eyebrow and looked at Nancy.

The sheer disbelief made Nancy so uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the sake of Charles, for the hospital, for the fact that she was a doctor, she wouldn't be keeping so calm.

She really wanted to blurt out, "No, the children are not Charles'. They have nothing to do with him."

What would happen? Perhaps Frederic would just pass out then and there.

Recently, even though Frederic questioned where the children came from, it was obvious that he knew they were Charles'.

It did mean that Frederic was capable of making clear judgments.

If it weren't for Derrick, Nancy would probably have a much better relationship with Frederic.

Right now though, she just had to deal with the cards she was dealt.

Nancy took a deep breath. "Yes."

Angelina smiled, "Father, I made the mistake last time. Look at Bobby and Nadia. They look so much alike. They're definitely Fu family's children. Now you have a great grandson and a great granddaughter. You just need to take good care of yourself and enjoy the happiness of the ever expanding family."

"Well, it's hard to believe," Frederic said.

Nancy said all that she needed to so she pursed her lips and stayed silent.

"Well, you can leave now. When you go back home, you can tell Charles the arrangement. Remember to gather some evidence as soon as possible. If it really has nothing to do with you and Charles, he can come back to work soon," Frederic said lazily.
