Chapter 1666
“Uncle! Mr.Cheever! You both are finally back!"
Adie and Abby were playing hopscotch in the yard, and lit up in excitement when they saw Quinton and
Chase.
They quickly ran over.
"Kids, it's been so long.Are you doing okay? Are you listening to your mommy?"
Quinton asked gently as he hugged the two children.
Quinton was a serious person who wouldn't even frown when he was in pain, but right now, he was
speaking softly to the children like a kindergarten teacher.
It was more than Chase could bear.
“Uncle, you're finally home.Mommy is seriously ill, and we don't know what to do.I'm glad you're

Adie held Quinton's hand and said worriedly.
He saw himself as the man of the house when Quinton left, and wanted to help Renee and protect her
and Abby.
Lately, he hadn't been eating or sleeping well because he was stressed, but now that Quinton was
back, Adie felt like a burden had been lifted off of him.
He knew that no one would dare to bully Renee and Abby if Quinton was around.
“I'm sorry.It's my fault—] came back too late.Where's your mommy? Take me to her!" Quinton said
remorsefully as he held the children’s hands.
“Mommy felt better after taking the painkiller given by Mr.Wagner, so she's sunbathing on the balcony
now..."
Abby said hesitantly, then sighed.
“But she likes silence now.She's afraid of noise, and she always wants to be alone."
It was obvious that Abby was feeling sad and confused.
In the past, Renee always wanted to spend time with them, but now, she hardly even approached
them.
It made Abby wonder if she had done anything wrong, and if Renee didn't like her anymore.
When she said that, Adie would immediately comfort her and say that Renee was acting that way
because of her illness.
He knew that Renee was afraid they would think badly of her and get worried, so she preferred to be
left alone.
Abby tried her best to be rational and understand her mother's actions, but she was still a child—she
couldn't pretend she didn't miss her mother.
"I guess she doesn't like us anymore because we're noisy and will disturb her, Adie.That's why she

Abby pouted and said pitifully.
“Abby, didn't I tell you? Mommy is in pain, and she's afraid we'll worry if we see her like that, so she
keeps to herself.She's happy as long as we're happy, so don't overthink—it'll burden her,"
Adie held Abby's shoulders and explained patiently.
He had done this countless times.
Quinton felt very sorry for the two children when he saw that.
Yes, Renee's condition was pitiful, but the children were still so young.
After seeing their mother ill and in pain, they had been forced to grow up and act maturely, and it was
quite sad to witness.
