Anyone who saw the pained look in Finn Li's face would feel pity for him.

"Be strong, Finn, be strong..." The woman couldn't help but cry. She told her child to stay strong, but she seemed like she was on the verge of collapsing.

This woman was probably the boy's mother.

"Are you Director Nancy? Please try your best to keep his legs. He's too young! His life has barely begun! I don't want him to be disabled. Please help me, Director Nancy!" When the woman turned towards Nancy, her face was drenched with tears.

"I'll do my best." Nancy couldn't tell how bad the child's injuries were, and the only thing she could do right now was to comfort his family. "Try not to worry so much. It won't be good for your child's mental health."

"Okay, Director Nancy. Please help us! He's still a young boy!" A man in a police uniform approached them and tightly grasped Nancy's hands.

"Are you Finn's father?" Nancy asked.

"Yes, I am. I was on a mission today. I heard that Finn got into a car accident. As his father, I failed to protect him. I feel so sorry for him," the man said remorsefully, with tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.

"I'll do whatever I can. You can trust me." Nancy began to examine the boy's legs.

She took a CT scan of the child's legs and began to look over it. "Both of his legs are broken. We're going to do our best to save his legs. The left leg is more injured than the right one. The broken bones need to be removed temporarily and then transplanted back. Bone lengthening operations can be performed after a year so that the child's walking wouldn't be affected in the future." "The bones need to be removed by about eight centimeters. Are you sure you can salvage his legs, Director Nancy? If he were to get an infection, it would be risky for the child," the other director of the orthopedics department argued. "After stitching the wound, the probability of infection wouldn't be that high. He's still a young boy. An amputation would have a great impact on his quality of life. I wouldn't recommend it," Nancy insisted.

"Of course, we wouldn't support amputation as his family members. The child is too young..." Finn Li's parents said simultaneously. "We agree with Director Nancy's operation plan. We have to save his legs no matter what. For our child..."

"Then you have to sign this agreement. I also stand by Director Nancy's operation plan," Director Wu declared. He didn't have much confidence in his surgical ability, but since Nancy was with him, he felt more at ease. Nancy was famous in the field of orthopedic surgery, and he respected her medical skills.

"We should carry out the operation as soon as possible. "After setting aside the scan, Nancy rushed out to change her clothes and prepare herself for the operation.

When the operation was over, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The child was badly injured, so the operation took longer than expected.

Nancy had been standing for over eight hours. Her legs felt sore after the operation.

She browsed through her phone and saw several messages from Charles. "Do you have time to pick up the children today?"

"When will you finish with the operation?"

"Don't go out for dinner. We'll be waiting for you at home."

'Charles is such a temperamental man! Yesterday, he seemed like he wanted to tear this family apart, and now, he's trying to be sweet again?' Nancy thought to herself.

"The operation just finished. It was successful. I'll be home for dinner," Nancy replied.

Nancy was exhausted after the operation, and the idea of finally coming home warmed her heart.

"Okay, we'll wait for you," Charles replied. She was surprised to get a reply from him so quickly.

Charles was aware that Nancy had a young patient today that she had to perform a surgery on him. Even though he knew she would have her phone off, he still tried to contact her to let her know that he was thinking of her.

Now that the operation was finished and successful, Charles was in a better mood.

"Daddy, will Mommy be home soon?" Nadia and Bobby were already seated at the table. The two children eyed the large table full of food. They were both eager to have a bite. However, there was a tradition in the Fu family that they had to ask permission before they could start eating. They usually had to wait for all the family members before eating. When Hiram was around, they didn't have to follow this rule, but since Charles was home with them, they had to abide by his rules.

"Mommy will be home soon. I'll prepare for her a bowl of soup before she gets here." Charles took a pot out from the kitchen.

"Daddy, why did you fight with Mommy yesterday?" Nadia asked all of a sudden.

She thought she could ask him because he seemed like he was in a good mood. He wasn't as cold and angry as he was last night. He looked like he was about to snap at the time. 'Is Daddy feeling better now?

Is he still angry like he was last night?' Nadia thought to herself.

"Daddy scolded Mommy yesterday because she did something to make him angry. Daddy would do the same to you, too. Don't make any mistakes and upset him, okay?" Charles warned with a stern expression on his face.

"Would puppy love be considered a mistake?"

Charles' jaw dropped at Nadia's words. He never expected to her to ask such a thing.

"Nadia, what are you talking about?" Bobby questioned her angrily and looked at her coldly.

"I didn't say anything..." Nadia lowered her head immediately.

"What is it?" Charles eyed both of his children. When Charles came to the kindergarten to pick them up, they didn't look too well. Charles felt like Nadia was trying to tell him something, but was hesitating. Did something happen in school?

"Nadia, did you do something wrong?" Charles questioned.

Nadia shook her head immediately.

Bobby smiled and said, "Daddy, we're good kids. Why would we make any mistakes?" "Nadia, I think you were trying to say something. You can continue..." Charles looked at Nadia.

Nadia averted his eyes and fiddled with her hands. She didn't say a word.

"You're going to have a winter holiday soon, aren't you?" Charles could sense that Nadia didn't want to talk about that anymore, so he deliberately changed the topic.

"Yes, I'll be on holiday in two days. Daddy, our kindergarten is going to have a winter camp. Will you sign us up?" Bobby asked.

"Do you want to go?" Charles was hesitant to let his children participate since he felt that they were still too young. However, he wouldn't stop them if they wanted to go. "I don't want to go," Nadia answered immediately.

"No, Nadia! I know you want to go to the camp. Don't lie to Daddy! I also want to go to the camp. Let's go together!" Bobby pleaded as he stared at Nadia's face.

"But...But..." Nadia stammered.

"We're going to play in the snow in the winter camp. Don't you like snow? We could make snowmen and have a snowball fight. We love playing in the snow! If you don't go, you'll regret it!" Bobby said seriously. "Nadia, if you don't want to go with Bobby, you don't have to. I could just let Bobby go," Charles said.

"Nadia..." Bobby urged.
