Mrs. Collins' footsteps seemed to be in a hurry as she got out of her car and walked towards the VIP room where her husband was. The old woman's face was red with anger.
She really couldn't believe that woman had not only hidden her grandsons for five years, but she also didn't give the name Collins to her grandsons!
Those two little kids were her grandsons! Part of the Collins family! But that woman didn't used Collins as their last name and used her last name?
Hasn't that woman gone mad?!
Mr. Collins, who was sitting on his bed, flinched slightly when the door to his room was opened by someone in a hurry.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Mr Collins in bewilderment when he saw the annoyed look on his wife's face. One look he could immediately know without needing to be explained by his wife.
"Ohh… you can't imagine what I just discovered!" said Mrs. Collins, placing her bag on the table and walking to the seat beside Mr Collins' bed.
"You have to calm down. It's not good for your health," Mr Collins advised. "Take your breath and drink some water first," he continued when he saw how red his wife's face was. Indicates that she is very, very upset right now.
Mrs Collins did as her husband said. She took a breath and drank the water that was there. It made her feel a little better than before, even though she was still upset.
"So what is it this time?" asked Mr Collins curiously.
There wasn't much he could do in the hospital and it seemed that hearing his wife's story could cheer him up a bit.
"I met our grandsons!" said Mrs Collins, starting her story.
"What?!" asked Mr Collins in disbelief, he even leaned forward in disbelief. "You're serious?"
Mrs Collins smiled triumphantly upon hearing this. She then took out her cellphone and showed her the photo that her private secretary had given to her husband.
Mr. Collins saw it, but the expression on his face was casual. Not surprised at all.

"I thought you'd show me your photo with them," said Mr Collins with relief. "If it's their photo, I have it too," said Mr Collins, not wanting to lose.
After Michael informs them that Sarah's twins are his grandsons. Mr Collins also told his people to take their photos secretly. He wanted to see the faces of his two grandsons.
Mrs Collins didn't seem surprised by that. Looks like her husband asked Michael for their photo, or maybe did the same like her.
"I didn't take a photo with them, but I met them in person. They go to a kindergarten that I often visit to donate. This one is called Raphael, and this one is Gabriel," said Mrs. Collins explained and introduced the names of her grandsons one by one.
Mr Collins was surprised to hear that. His wife went to see their grandsons?
"You must be jealous, right? So you have to fight and do the operation again. Instead of waiting in your bed like this!" said Mrs Collins trying to persuade her husband again to operate.
The doctor has explained that the operation can be done. It is indeed risky and the operation is not easy. However, it's better than waiting for the grim reaper to come to take him, right?
Mr Collins was silent when he heard this. He had indeed given up and accepted his fate of death.
Mrs. Collins sighed when she saw her husband who was silent.
"Oh yes, you know..." The old woman then explained what she saw earlier. When their grandsons sing and follow their teacher's movements. They looked excited and adorable. She did not forget to explain that their grandsons were very smart.
"You should have taken the video!" said Mr Collins regretting that.
"Ah! Right! I forgot about that!" said Mrs Collins who had completely forgotten about it. Looks like tomorrow she will have to come back to the kindergarten to take videos of her grandsons so she can see it continuously.
"Then what are you so upset about? You meet our grandsons, and from your story, they seem like cute and smart kids. That shouldn't upset you," said Mr Collins in confusion.
The look on his wife's face looks happy when they are proud of their grandsons, like a grandmother. But why a few minutes ago she looked so upset?
"Ah! I almost forgot about it! Do you know our grandsons' last name?" asked Mrs. Collins, her expression turning into annoyance again. "Smith! They are Raphael Smith and Gabriel Smith! Not Collins!" she said annoyed.
"Hasn't that woman gone mad?! Not only did she hide our grandsons for five years, she also used her last name instead of Collins on our grandsons!" she continued.
"I even praised her at first because she used her wits to come up with a name similar to Michael's, but I think I was praising her too quickly! How could she not use the name Collins!" said Mrs. Collins, her face starting to turn red again with irritation. She couldn't accept this at all!
"What do you think?" she asked, turning to her husband, who had been silent all this time.
Mr Collins looked surprised when he heard the names of his grandsons.
"But isn't that what all women would do?" asked Mr. Collins looking at his wife in bewilderment.
"What?!" Mrs. Collins's eyebrows rose, she didn't expect her husband's reaction at all. Was she the only one who was annoyed?!
"I mean, the kids were born after Michael and Sarah divorced, and Sarah is a single mother. Wouldn't it be natural for her to give them her last name? It's not like she has to use Collins as their name."
Mr Collins was indeed surprised to hear that his grandsons did not use the name Collins, and it made him feel sad. However, after he thought about it again, Sarah wasn't at all wrong for doing that.
It's not like his grandsons were born when Sarah was still married to Michael, then Sarah changed their last name. If that was the case, then what Sarah had done was very wrong.
However, his grandsons were born when they were divorced, so it was only natural for Sarah to use her last name for her children.
Mrs Collins' eyes opened wide in disbelief when she heard this.
"Are you seriously defending that woman right now?!" asked Mrs Collins in a rising voice. "Wow… really! What exactly did she do that you keep defending her like this!" said Mrs. Collins, who couldn't believe that her husband had really been bewitched by her.
"I'm not defending her, but think about it carefully, our grandsons were born after they divorced. So it's not wrong if she used her name and not Collins," said Mr Collins trying to explain it again to his wife.
He knew his wife was disappointed by the fact, and so was he, but they couldn't really blame Sarah for that.
Mrs Collins was silent when she heard this. Her chest was still heaving in annoyance.
"Wait a minute!" said Mrs Collins suddenly realizing something. "Do you think this was the woman's plan?" asked Mrs Collins looking at her husband.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr Collins's brow furrowed, completely clueless.
"I mean, when they were still married, she refused so firmly to give us a grandkid. Then suddenly after getting divorced and getting the chance to live with Michael, she used the opportunity to sleep with him and get pregnant with his child," said Mrs Collins explaining what had just occurred to her.
"Is she planning to use her kids to get money from us?!" Mrs Collins' eyes then opened wide in disbelief. "Wait a minute! Don't tell me this is the reason you gave her your inheritance?! She must have called you and said she had our grandsons, right?" asked Mrs. Collins.
The hairs on her neck suddenly got goosebumps when she managed to put all the puzzle pieces together. Everything now makes sense!
"What are you talking about?" said Mr Collins, shaking his head. "You should try to be a writer. Looks like you look good for it. How could you think of such a thing?"
He had to admit that his wife's imagination was wild. If she became a detective or a cop, she might catch the wrong person. Looks like she's suitable for making a , or maybe a movie.
"I'm serious! That's what's happening right now, right?" Mrs Collins accused her husband of asking for answers.
Mr Collins sighed. "Not like that! I don't want to argue with you anymore about my inheritance and just like you, I just found out that we have grandsons!"
Mrs Collins looked at her husband suspiciously. She didn't believe him at all, but for now she was going to let it go.
"What do you think we should do to get that woman to use the name Collins on our grandsons?" asked Mrs Collins who changed her expression and looked at her husband for advice. Right now it is more important.
"Hmm… by asking nicely? You don't need to think about this anyway. Michael is trying, just leave it to Michael," said Mr. Collins trying to calm his wife.
If Michael managed to get Sarah again, then his two grandsons would definitely use Collins name.
"No. I can't just sit around like this!" said Mrs Collins, not at all willing to let Michael take care of this.
Mr Collins just sighed and decided to just leave his wife alone. He was too sick to deal with his wife.
"Do you think our lawyer can help us?" asked Mrs Collins suddenly.
"What do you mean?" asked Mr Collins in bewilderment.
"Maybe we can get custody of our grandsons?"
