Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 490 Picking Up the Child

On his way home, Kim Blackwood received a call from Margaret.

"How's it going? You've been out for quite some time now; did you find Jacob? Did you find out anything?" Upon hearing this, Kim Blackwood fell silent.

Suddenly, he remembered the conversation he had with Jacob in the car, when Jacob asked him if he would tell Margaret after learning about the situation. At that moment, he felt it was a difficult choice to make.

Now, when faced with the reality of making that choice, Kim Blackwood realized he truly didn't want to inform Margaret. The issue was so serious that he could imagine her worrying look as soon as he told her. Just the thought made him feel heartache.

He guessed that Adrian Blackwood and Jacob didn't want to tell him for probably the same reason.

Sighing deeply in his mind, Kim Blackwood decided to empathize and resolved to tell Margaret about the incident but didn't disclose everything. He simply said, "There has been a bit of an accident, and I need to handle it. Over the next few days... make sure to rest well."

However, Margaret's vigilance was extremely high.

"What kind of minor accident requires your personal attention for several days? What happened?" Her tone became anxious towards the end of her questions.

"Listen, honey, don't panic. The situation is indeed a bit complicated, but I can handle it. Once it's sorted, I'll tell you, alright?"

Margaret responded with suspicion, "What exactly is the matter, and why are you unwilling to tell me now? Is it very serious?"

"It's because I need to go and deal with it now, and I don't have the time to explain everything to you."

Margaret was somewhat reassured by this.

If the matter was really urgent and he needed to deal with it without having the time to explain the details to her, she could understand that.

"Alright then, you go and take care of it, but you have to promise me that once you have the time, you will tell me exactly what's going on, so I can see if there's any way I can help."

"Of course, dear, thank you for being so understanding."

After hanging up the phone, Kim Blackwood let out a long sigh of relief, feeling he had managed to get through the most difficult part. He wondered if Jacob had felt the same when he hung up the call.

Although the night was deep, given the Blackwood family's connections, finding a few people to help was easy. Sitting in his car, Kim Blackwood made several calls one after another.

After hanging up the phone, Margaret couldn't help but let out a long sigh thinking about what Kim Blackwood had said on the call.

She knew her husband well; there were only two reasons he wouldn't tell her everything: either it was as he said, and the explanation was too lengthy for him to go into detail at that moment, or the situation was so serious that he feared it would worry her or scare her, so he chose to stay silent.

Margaret felt that this time, it might be both reasons.

Another reason she didn't push for more answers was probably because she had their two grandchildren with her. Currently, the children's parents were not around, and Kim Blackwood was busy dealing with their issues, meaning that she was the sole caregiver for her grandchildren.

She couldn't just leave her grandchildren, and with them in tow, she wouldn't really be able to help. So, after hearing what Kim Blackwood had said over the phone, Margaret quickly came to terms with it herself.

Since she couldn't be of any help, it was better not to know for the time being. Knowing would only make her worry needlessly; it was better to focus on taking good care of her two little grandchildren until they returned. With this thought, Margaret got up and walked toward the children's room.

Seeing the two little ones hugging their blankets and deeply asleep, even having swapped places, made Margaret's troubled day feel much warmer.

So adorable, these two little ones.

How could Eva have such remarkable children? To give birth to twins who both turned out so well, and she raised them alone for five years. Despite the hardship, she managed to bring up the children so well. Margaret glanced at them again, and when she saw Dylan's brows and eyes, it was as if she was seeing a young Adrian Blackwood all over again.

She remembered how her mother loved holding little Adrian Blackwood, always saying how cute he was. She wondered whether her mother, seeing Dylan, who looked so much like Adrian, would also adore him. At that moment, Margaret realized it had been a long time since she'd seen her own mother.

Her parents did not live with them nor even in the same city. After retiring, they complained about the city pollution and bought a single-story house with a garden and yard in the countryside to enjoy their retirement. They filled their garden with various plants and cornered off a section for some vegetables and fruits. They lived a simple, peaceful life, getting up at sunrise and going to bed at sunset.

Margaret had once visited her parents and seeing them happy and content, decided not to disturb them further, especially after they inquired about Adrian Blackwood's marital status and sighed heavily upon learning of his divorce. Since then, Margaret seldom visited.

Now, suddenly, she wanted to take the two little ones and visit them in the countryside. After all, their parents wouldn't be back for a while.

As for the two little ones, she planned to ask their school for a week's leave.

Having made up her mind, Margaret got up with determination to start packing clothes.

The next day, as the two little ones had just woken up and were still sitting dazedly on their beds, Margaret approached to dress them. While buttoning their clothes, she spoke, "Ruby, Dylan, grandma got you some time off school; we're going to go on a trip."

Ruby Hansen, having just woken up with bleary eyes, instantly perked up upon hearing they were going to play.

"Grandma, does that mean we don't have to go to school today?"

Every child dislikes school to some extent, and Ruby was no exception. However, being well-behaved by nature, and with Eva's guidance, she usually didn't show it. But now, hearing from her grandmother that they didn't have to attend school and could go out to play instead, she was overjoyed and reached for Dylan's hand.

"Dylan, we don't have to go to school today."

Dylan remained composed, showing neither excitement nor displeasure, but simply nodded at Ruby before turning to Margaret.

"Grandma, why are we skipping school? Where are we going?"

What he really wanted to ask was why mommy had not come back for so long, and where had she gone?

But before leaving, mommy had instructed them to be good, to listen to grandma, and for him to take care of himself and his sister.

"Yes, grandma is going to take you to a special place; do you want to go?"

Ruby didn't even know what place it was but immediately nodded enthusiastically, "Yes!"
