Chapter 667: Aren’t You Ashamed To Ask?

In the end, Hazel and Joshua decided to name their baby by themselves after Simon helped them come up with a few strange names.

Since the baby was too frail and it wasn’t good for them to carry him for a long time, Hazel asked the nurse to help carry him back to the baby room.

“Shouldn’t someone follow him…” Hazel couldn’t help but frown when she realized Ted was outside.

“I’ll go.” Simon hurried to say, “You can rest assured that I’ll take good care of Monkey.”

“His name isn’t Monkey!” Hazel freaked out.

“That can be his nickname,” Simon said, grinning. “Anyway, my nephew is my Monkey.”

With these words, Simon ran out of the ward quickly.

Then he saw Ted guard outside the ward with a gloomy face.

“Simon…” Ted spoke with a little embarrassment, but Simon only gave him an indifferent look and then escorted the nurse to the baby room as if he didn’t see Ted.

Ted was dejected. He looked at the closed door of the ward and then at Simon. Then, at last, he thought for a while before following Simon.

Joshua asked the hospital to prepare a baby room for his child especially. Simon escorted the nurse back to the baby room and watched her carefully put the baby back in the incubator.

When he turned his head around, he saw Ted waiting outside the baby room. He raised his eyebrows impatiently.

Simon came out and said sarcastically, “What? Are you still thinking about doing a paternity test for this kid? Or what are you up to again? What do you want to do to this child?”

“I…” Ted felt his heart hurt, as if needles punctured it, and said sadly, “That’s my own grandson. How can I possibly….”

“Enough!” Simon directly interrupted him. “You’d better save your breath. Who dares to keep a grandfather like you? With such a grandfather like you, the family would be restless and in danger! Let me get this straight. The kid’s surname is Denmark. He’s the kid of the Denmark family and has nothing to do with you, Ted King!”

Ted’s face was ashen. Simon’s words were merciless and stuck in his heart like knives.

With him around, the family would be restless and dangerous? He didn’t expect the child to use his surname, King. At this point, Ted was fully aware of how deep the gap between him and Joshua was.

But… even if he was really the child’s biological grandfather, they also wanted to avoid him, as if he was the plague?

“... I’m not going to take him away for a paternity test,” Ted said. “I saw him just now. He was very much like Joshua when Joshua was a baby, so he must be Joshua’s child. Also, rest assured, I won’t do anything to this boy….”

“Then we thank you for letting the boy go!” Simon sneered. “But even if you say so, we’ll still have enough bodyguards guard the baby room. We don’t believe you. I think you understand that too? Old man, if you really want to take him away, do it!”

“... Simon, do you have to talk to me like that?” Ted was sad somehow. What he said this time was his real thoughts, but Simon didn’t believe him.

Simon sneered. “Aren’t you ashamed to ask?”

Ted turned pale. What he had done did not deserve Simon’s trust indeed.

“You aren’t convinced, are you?” Simon’s eyes flickered. “Well, I’ll tell you a story. There is a very bad man. He almost made other people's family members die and break up their families. The bad man got the retribution in the end. All the people around him defected, and he became utterly isolated, losing all the bargaining chips. But at this moment, the bad man said lightly that I had given in to you, but why you refused to forgive me, you were simply ruthless and shameless! Why should others forgive him after he did evil? Who did he think he was? God?”

Simon’s face was as white as a sheet. Simon’s story might be a little inappropriate, but it fitted his situation best. Yes, he had done so many outrageous things to Joshua and Hazel. So why should Joshua and Hazel forgive him as soon as he admitted his mistake?

“By the way, I have something to tell you,” Simon said indifferently.“I don’t know if the manor is your last bargaining chip, but I’ll leave it for you to retire, and I’ll ask a few reliable subordinates to protect you. As for your other forces, I’ve taken them over. If you want to fight us with other bargaining chips, we will not be afraid!”

Since Simon could take over his forces so quickly, it was obvious that Simon had long planned. As for Simon’s leaving a manor and a few bodyguards to him, it was likely that Simon just wanted to keep an eye on him; Simon and Joshua had been on guard against him.

Ted’s heart was painful, and he asked feebly, “Have you prepared it for a long time?”

“My sister-in-law is right,” Simon said in surprise. “It is true that your intelligence is superior only when you treat Joshua and me as enemies.”

“...” Ted’s heart was filled with bitterness. Simon was actually so hostile to him.

“Alright. Whatever you want to say, I have only one word,” Simon said impatiently. “I won’t make concessions.”

With that, he left without hesitation.

The bodyguards almost formed a human wall, firmly guarding the door of the baby room. They all looked warily at Ted.

It seemed Ted had aged a lot. He froze, sitting outside the baby room for a moment, and then left.

Hearing the news that Ted had left, the three young men in Hazel’s ward still frowned, and no one relaxed their vigilance.

“What else is the old man going to do?” Simon asked.

“I’m not him. How can I know?” Joshua spoke lightly.

“I think…” Hazel hesitated for a moment and finally said, “you think too much.”

“Huh?” Joshua looked at her tenderly.

“I think he really knows he was wrong this time, so he’s really not going to do anything bad,” she said. Remembering that when Ted was in the car, he’d rather die himself and insisted she left, Hazel thought he was not completely incurable.

“Maybe, but we can’t take the risk,” Joshua spoke lightly. “We thought he’d behave himself last time, but he still kidnapped you, didn’t he?”

She was instantly convinced. “You’re right.”
