Chapter 838 Babies' Quarrel
"Nathan, why would you say that to Noah!"
Mia was shocked. This was the first time Nathan had gotten angry at Noah.
"I know, because of Mommy's situation, you've been resenting Grandpa Clemens, targeting him everywhere, making things difficult for him. Now that he's injured, you're happy!" Nathan clenched his fists, roaring with excitement.
"Yes, I scared Grandpa Clemens. I caused him to fall." Noah raised his head, calmly looking at Nathan. "If he dies, I owe him a life!"
Upon hearing this, Nathan was stunned, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he was unable to say a word.
"Noah," Dahlia was frightened, hurriedly trying to console, "Don't say that; this was an accident; it's not your fault."
"But," Noah suddenly interrupted Dahlia, looking calmly and firmly at Nathan, "I should resent him for what he did to Mommy, right?"
"I, I..." Nathan was terrified, unsure how to respond.
"Never mind, you don't understand anything."
Noah smiled bitterly. He could understand why Nathan would have such thoughts and emotions. After all, Grandpa Clemens had been really good to them, and when Mommy was forced to leave, only he had witnessed it. Nathan and Mia knew nothing.
Afterwards, Grandpa Clemens and Dad had a consistent story, saying they sent Mommy away for treatment, and she accidentally passed away because her illness couldn't be cured.
They believed it.
Only Noah knew the truth wasn't like that.
"Noah, what do you mean by saying that?" Nathan felt something was off and anxiously asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Nothing." Noah was very indifferent. "You just continue being a naive kid!"
With that, he got up and walked out.
"Noah!" Nathan followed, questioning excitedly, "I don't understand. Why do you always keep things from me and Mia? Mia is a girl; she needs her brothers' protection. I get that. But I'm a man. I want to share the burden with you. You don't tell me anything but say I don't understand anything."
As he spoke, Nathan started crying in grievance.
Noah was slightly surprised, turning to look at Nathan. He suddenly felt that the seemingly naive Nathan had also grown up.
"I know. I'm not as smart as you, not as capable as you." Nathan wiped away his tears and choked up. But I'm also a member of this family. Finding Mommy is also my responsibility. She's our mother, not just yours." "Shut up!" Noah covered his mouth with a small hand, frowned, and sternly said, "This is a secret; don't let anyone know."
Nathan's clear, big eyes were filled with tears, nodding in confusion.
"No more talking," Noah warned sternly, then let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry, I was too hasty just now," Nathan apologized, lowering his head, "But Grandpa Clemens has been good to us. I still hope he gets better. Please don't be mad at him in the future, okay?" "Got it," Noah nodded, then looked at Mia standing at the door, tears streaming down her face, immediately scolding Nathan, "Look, you've made Mia cry." "And Little Coco!"
Little Coco curled up in Mia's arms, trembling, its small green body like a little ball.
"Mia, Little Coco, I'm sorry." Nathan walked over, reaching out his arms to hug Mia. "I scared you!"
Mia burst into tears.
Noah quickly came over to hug them both. "Don't cry, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you, nothing will happen."
The three siblings hugged each other, and the two brothers comforting their sister. Tears welled up in Nathan's eyes, but he tried hard not to cry.
You could see determination and bravery in Noah's eyes, his small shoulders protecting his younger siblings like a big tree.
At the corner of the corridor, Sadie quietly watched this scene, her heart inexplicably hurting. She lowered her head, tears falling.
