Sweet Twins

"You bastard! I'm your father! I don't understand why I raised such a coward child like you. Can't you be any more ambitious? Look at your cousin!"

Derrick's voice blared in the entire room. He was so furious that his veins on the neck almost popped while his blood rose to his face.

Just as he furiously shouted at his son, Charles and Hardy walked to the door and prepared to barge in uninvited

Suddenly, Charles frowned and halted on his tracks upon hearing a faint sound.

"Why are you stopping? Let's go!" his father asked in confusion, furrowing his brows tightly.

However, the young man placed his index finger on his lips, shushing, and merely narrowing his eyes.

But to the least of their knowledge, Joseph had already heard Hardy's voice. So, he hurriedly put the oxygen mask on Derrick and warned, "Dad, don't say anything. Here comes Charles."

Immediately, Derrick shut his eyes and pretended to still be unconscious.

At the same time, Joseph jumped in on the pretense and burst into tears. "Father, you have been so wronged. It's all because of that bastard Hiram! Don't worry! I will avenge you right now!"

he blurted out before storming out of the ward in staggering steps.

However, before he could completely leave, Charles had already pushed the door open and walked in with his father, Hardy.

"Charles, it's you who hurt my father! You should pay the price with your life!" As Joseph mournfully yelled at his cousin, he overlooked the fact that it was Derrick––his father––who caused the car incident. And every word he uttered pierced through Charles like a sharp knife.

On the other side of the ward was Derrick, who broke into a cold sweat while listening to his son's sentiments.

"Joseph, stop it. I didn't hurt Derrick. The car accident was a farce schemed by your father himself. It has nothing to do with me! You're lucky that he is still alive. I don't think anyone should be responsible for it but himself!" Charles took out his phone, aiming to show the evidence he gathered to back his claim.

However, Joseph didn't even look or glance at it. Instead, he pushed Charles away and cursed, "You are a liar! You have always been one! Do you think you deserve to be my brother? I have done nothing but give in and yield to you! I have even given up the TS Group for you! What else do you want?"

As Joseph poured out his sentiments, tears began rolling down his cheeks.
