The quiet ward was immediately bustling with noise when the triplets arrived. Brycen thought, “These
are my sister’s babies, and they’re all so cute! Especially, Claudia, she’s kind and thoughtful.’ When
Claudia saw his injured leg, her round, wide eyes showed how heartbroken she was. It melted Brycen’s
heart! That was the first time he had felt happy after his injury, and it was totally different than the
carefree feeling he would get on the racetrack A warm sensation spread in his body, just like a hot
coffee in the cold winter. It melted his bones and all he could feel was bliss. “It’s almost time for dinner.
Why don’t grandpa and the kids stay for a meal? I’ll get Russell to get us some food.” A hint of
anticipation flashed in Brycen’s eyes. ‘Would the kids reject me because we’re not close with each
other yet?’ Brycen wondered. But he did not want to see them leave so early. However, while he was
still worrying, they immediately agreed to it. “Sure, uncle.” “Of course!”
Ben and Alex said unanimously. Claudia said cutely, “Alright.” Then, she went over to Grandpa Dave
and held his hand. “Great grandpa, can we eat with Uncle Brycen today?” Grandpa Dave was delighted
when he saw them living harmoniously with one another. He held Claudia’s hand as he thought, ‘Of
course!’ “Sure! We’re a family, so we have to live happily together!”
The triplets exchanged looks and smiled at each other. ‘Since all of us are out here, that means daddy
and mommy are having some alone time together!
When they thought about this, they loved Brycen’s idea even more. Russell was happy when he saw
them having a good time together as a family as well. “I’ll go get some food now! You can eat anything,
right? What about you kids? Do you have anything you want to eat?”
Brycen’s injury, together with the May family’s fuss, had made the atmosphere in the ward extremely
tense. Russell had not felt so relaxed in a long time. “I want to eat meat!” Claudia responded
immediately. “Burger! Steak! Chicken drumsticks!” Ben chimed in.
Even Alex joined them and said, “I want pizza and tacos!” “You’re still young, you can’t just eat meat.”
Brycen rarely acted like a strict parent as he was an extremely carefree person.
But he felt that the triplets’ requests weren’t too suitable as their dinner.
“If Molly knows, she’d kill me.’
And that’s a no-no! I still need her to treat my leg! The triplets were dispirited as soon as they heard
Brycen. They thought they could fool around with him since it was their first time meeting him
“Sigh, mommy doesn’t let us eat like this too.”
“But I haven’t eaten a burger in a really long time.” Ben cupped his face as he did not want to accept
this. It was the closest he had come to eating a burger and he really did not want to miss it!
“Mommy said we have to eat less for dinner. It’s not good for our gut.” Claudia pulled a long face as
she looked disappointed.
Brycen and Russell were immediately stumped. Who could reject such adorable kids?
Brycen almost gave in. But when he thought of Molly’s serious expression, he quivered. “Nope,
grandpa is here too.” Brycen tried to persuade them. “There’s a restaurant with delicious and healthy
food. Russell and I have been eating for the past few days and we haven’t gotten tired of it yet!” Brycen
recommended a few tasty dishes that he had these days, and the triplets were intrigued. Their energy
returned on the spot as their eyes widened. Ben quickly asked, “For real? Is it as tasty as a burger?”
Russell smiled as he answered seriously, “Of course! It’s really good! Besides, your uncle is still a
patient, so he has to eat light food. If not, we would all be lectured by your mother!”
