Chapter 981

"Anyway, when I was there, he wasn't beaten. I don't know what would happen after I left," Fiona replied.

Her gaze swept to the end of the corridor.

Was there any child just now?

However, there seemed to be a blind spot where she had been standing. Perhaps the child had run away before she arrived.

"I should have taken you with me just now, even if we had to walk slowly," Fiona continued, "Just now, Anna and I were fiercely complaining about Samuel and Silas."

"What did you say?" Darwin asked.

Fiona enumerated the dangerous behaviors of Samuel and Silas as fathers.

As he heard the details of the events, Darwin's brows furrowed deeper.

He couldn't even bear to think what would happen if these things happened to Charles or Chicago, for he would never let such things happen.

"Brady is so unlucky." Fiona thought of that chubby, cute face and laughed out loud. "His father and grandfather took him fishing together. His father accidentally knocked him into the river. Just as they pulled him out, his grandfather accidentally flipped the boat before he could sit tightly!"

Brady had recounted the incident, filling in the details so vividly. Even the part where his butt got hooked by a fishhook was described so vividly that it felt like it was happening right in front of them.

The more Fiona spoke, the more she found Brady pitiful and funny. Leaning on Darwin's arm, she laughed uncontrollably.

Darwin liked seeing Fiona happy.

Seeing her laugh, he laughed along with her, thinking that before leaving here, they should invite Brady over more often.

The incident where Chicago almost had a major accident couldn't be kept from Janna.

In the evening.

Janna called Fiona.

"Fiona, until Darwin fully recovers, don't let him take the kids out alone," Janna said solemnly, "Not every time will be as lucky as this one."

Knowing it was Jessie that saved Chicago, Janna felt grateful.

Fiona thought for a moment.

In the end, she still didn't say it was not that serious. Instead, she replied, "Got it."

"I heard you've started letting him gradually get involved with the Solomons' affairs. How is he adapting?" Janna had been busy with the work at the Rhoads Group lately, and her memory was still stuck on Chicago teaching Darwin to read.

"Dealing with the company's matters is an instinct ingrained in his bones. We don't need to worry at all," Fiona replied.

In the past few days, he had reviewed the financial reports for the first half of the year.

Any issues were almost immediately resolved.

So, those few idiots in the company who had tried to oust Darwin while he was away were likely the result of Darwin's deliberate indulgence.

"That's good. If he can return to work sooner, his condition might greatly improve," Janna said.

Fiona was a bit puzzled. "Condition?"

"Don't you think his state is very off? It's like his soul has been completely taken away, and he's become another person, overly polite." Janna still preferred the old Darwin, who would get angry and was full of vitality.

Now, he always gave off a sense of aloofness.

Fiona pursed her lips.

"Isn't this good?" she asked.

Thinking back, when she used to be by Darwin's side, didn't she wish he could be less irritable, a bit more polite, and not always so arrogant and overbearing?

"Whether it's good or not, it's not up to me." Janna yawned. "Alright, I still need to call Chicago. She must be terrified. I need to comfort her."

"Grandma, comfort her appropriately. This happens quite often. She was originally fine, but as you comforted her, it ended up making her feel more aggrieved," Fiona said helplessly.
