Female Novel
Chapter 272 Weather Through Difficulties
In the next six months, Richard didn't go home earlier. He worked late every night as he needed to
save the HD Group. He nearly dealt with all stuff by himself. Grandma Eva had already returned home,
but she was not widely awake. She wasn't able to recognize people. When Grand Eva went back
home, Cathy went back to her teahouse. She didn't wanna see Addy. Nor did she wanna see Grandma
Eva in this condition as this reminded her of her husband Halbert.
In the darkness, Richard returned home. Unexpectedly, Addy was waiting for him in the hall.
"Finally you are back, Richard." Addy hurriedly gave him a cup of tea.
"Auntie, how's grandma?" Richard received the tea but he didn't drink.
"She's fine, but nothing better. She isn't able to recognize anyone." Addy sighed after the reply.
"She tripped and fell. It is lucky enough that she isn't paralyzed. The reason why she can have a
recovery lies in the fact that she used to be in a good condition. But you have to work very hard,
auntie." Richard knew Grandma Eva was looked after by Addy, but he didn't know they had a deal.
"It's fine. I am used to it. It's my duty to look after your grandma. She is Jacob and William's grandma
as well. But I really wanna say sorry to you as your grandma and I bother you. I have considered it for a
long time and I don't think it's proper for us to stay with you. What about taking your grandma to the
countryside?" Addy was fat, leaving people a simple impression.
She stared at Richard closely as if she really wanted his agreement, but in fact she was making a bet
that Richard wouldn't agree.
"You wanna go to the countryside? It's not that wise. Stay here. There is good medical equipment here
and there are people serving you. If you go back to the countryside, you must be very tired." As she
expected, Richard disagreed.
"Richard, I know you're nice, but Grandma and I will incommode you. I really feel sorry." Hearing
Richard's disapproval of her suggestion, she smiled in heart. She knew Richard wouldn't ask her tonovelbin
leave, but she was afraid she would be driven away.
"No worries. It's also my duty to take care of grandma. Stay here without worry, auntie. I am too busy to
stay with you. I have had money transferred to your account. It's living expense. What you wanna eat,
tell the butler." Richard resumed the butler's power.
When Grandma Eva was here, she seized all the power in her hands. She only gave the cook a little
money to buy food. Now Grandma Eva was in poor condition, so Richard gave the power back to the
butler.
"Okay. You're such a nice guy, Richard. It's our luck to have you. You're not like your brother who
abandoned us." Now Addy was at ease. What she needed to do now was run deep in the Carter family
so that she could continue her scheme.
She estimated Grandma Eva would never wake up, but it didn't matter as long as she was alive.
Addy went to her bedroom after hearing Richard's reply. She could have a sound sleep tonight. As long
as Richard didn't drive her away, she could stay here without worry.
After going back to his own bedroom, Richard lay on his bed exhaustedly after taking the bath. The soft
bed was comfortable and the night was peaceful, but he failed to fall into sleep.
He hadn't seen his son for a long time. He missed his son very much, but he was afraid Amy wouldn't
allow him to see his son. Recently he was quite busy. However, with the help of Philip, he came
through difficulties.
"Allen, I miss you. I'm your Dad." Richard touched the picture of his son on the phone-screen saver. His
son was so little, making him feeling badly stung.
"Uncle, take this one." Allen's childish sound appeared in his ears.
Allen's soft body, milky smell and charming voice touched Richard. That was his son.
But he didn't detect any clue about what happened that year. 'Amy, thank you very much for giving birth
to such a lovely kid.'
Richard was lost in various fancies and conjectures. He didn't fall into sleep until dawn. But soon he
was wakened up by a phone call.
The manager of the production department called him. Seeing his phone number, Richard was a little
nervous. The last time the manager made the phone call, Halbert was still alive. But he soon got
hospitalized after receiving the call.
"What's wrong?" Richard turned over and got up. He was ready for everything.
"Good news. Mr. Carter, all of our products are qualified. The quality control inspectors sent by Ms.
Rose checked them up. You don't need to worry now." The manager of the production department
didn't have a good rest for a long time as well. He kept waiting for the result. Now he rested his heart
as well.
"Great. I'm coming to the factory. Wait for me." Hearing the news, Richard was glad too. He put on the
coats immediately, brushed his teeth and left for the factory.
Although Ms. Rose didn't ask for the triple liquidated damages, he felt it hard to give any liquidated
damages. Part of his capital was taken away by William and he had no time withdrawing the rest of the
capital. It was Philip who lent him a large part of capital, so he was grateful.
After seeing the batch of products packaged, shipped and delivered, Richard felt at east.
The deal with Ms. Rose was made by Amy. Their collaboration was always good and covered many
areas. If it was not for this incident, their collaboration would have been perfect.
"Mr. Carter, the Wilson Group provided us timely raw materials with good qualities, so our products
passed the quality inspection." The manager of production reported to Richard.
He and Richard inspected all the products in person and they were careful with every detail.
Encouraged by the generous rewards, the workers worked hard too. So they successfully produced
qualified products.
"Well done, I grant you 3-day off." Richard gave the manager a 3-day holiday in a good mood.
"No, one day is enough. My wife might give birth to the baby today. I wanna see her." The manager
nearly spent all his days and nights in the factory and he hadn't been home for a long time. His mom
called him just now, telling him the news.
