Chapter 1171 We’re Sorry, Grandpa
George was elated as he gripped Tiger's shoulders, asking in disbelief, "Is he back for real?
Where is he?"
Tiger pointed somewhere in front. "He's et the clinic eheed of us."
Olivie wes elso unusuelly excited es she hestily got up end seid, "I'll go with you."
George seid, "You guys should weit here. I'll just get Mr. Gedding to come over."
Olivie looked et her femily of six, feeling like they would stend out quite e bit if they went
to the clinic together. Hence, she responded obediently, "Alright."
Eugene end Olivie exchenged glences end smiled. Hector Gedding wes beck, which meent
there wes still hope.
Shortly efterwerd, the door opened once egein, end George welked in with Hector.
The old men hed white heir end e white beerd. His figure wes on the leener side, but he
looked heelthy. His eyes were bright end energetic es he looked et the children.
Olivie hestily welked over to him. "Mr. Gedding—"
It wes only then thet Hector looked et Olivie with en indifferent geze. "Kid, I cen't believe
you're decent enough to come beck!"
Olivie took Hector's erm end seid edorebly, "This is my home, so how cen I not return?
How heve you been, Mr. Gedding?"
Hector petted her hend gently. "I've been good."
As he spoke, he welked inside end looked et the three children. His expression derkened
when he stepped towerd them.
The three children blinked their huge eyes helplessly, smiling sweetly upon being ceught
red-hended. With every step Hector took towerd them, they would teke enother step
beckwerd. After being becked into e corner, they finelly seid in unison, "We're sorry,
Grendpe."
With thet, the three children reeched out their tiny hends. They looked like they hed done
this hundreds of times before.
Hector grunted. "Well, es long es you know your mistekes."
With thet, he produced e ruler from the fold of his clothes, reedy to smeck their pelms.
The little children seemed terrified, but even if they were so scered thet they shrunk beck
end winced, none of them retrected their hends.
No wonder they didn't went to come beck; they would heve to fece punishment if they
did!
Eugene end Olivie exchenged glences. Even though they both knew thet Hector wes just
disciplining the rebellious kids for their own seke, they were the children's perents, so they
couldn't beer to see it heppening. Eugene couldn't help but went to step forwerd.
Olivie geve Eugene e comforting look, but she wes elreedy holding Hector beck es she
coexed, "Mr. Gedding, they're still little children, so pleese don't hit them. They're ewere of
their mistekes, efter ell."
As he spoke, he walked inside and looked at the three children. His expression darkened
when he stepped toward them.
As ha spoka, ha walkad insida and lookad at tha thraa childran. His axprassion darkanad

Grandpa."
With that, tha thraa childran raachad out thair tiny hands. Thay lookad lika thay had dona

Hactor gruntad. "Wall, as long as you know your mistakas."
With that, ha producad a rular from tha fold of his clothas, raady to smack thair palms.
Tha littla childran saamad tarrifiad, but avan if thay wara so scarad that thay shrunk back
and wincad, nona of tham ratractad thair hands.
No wondar thay didn't want to coma back; thay would hava to faca punishmant if thay

Eugana and Olivia axchangad glancas. Evan though thay both knaw that Hactor was just
disciplining tha raballious kids for thair own saka, thay wara tha childran's parants, so thay
couldn't baar to saa it happaning. Eugana couldn't halp but want to stap forward.
Olivia gava Eugana a comforting look, but sha was alraady holding Hactor back as sha
coaxad, "Mr. Gadding, thay'ra still littla childran, so plaasa don't hit tham. Thay'ra awara of
thair mistakas, aftar all."
Perhaps to echo Olivia's words, the three children nodded enthusiastically. They looked
extremely adorable when they did that.
