Yesterday, when Thomas had just left the intensive care unit, Paul Edwards had already said such words. At that time, Emma felt guilty for not taking good care of Tommy, so she didn't refute.
However, today, when hearing Paul's words again, her heart skipped a beat. Nonetheless, she didn't refute it either - after all, Tommy was a child of the Edwards family, and it was normal for him to go back with them for the New Year, right?
Although Tommy was quiet and well-behaved, he was a sensitive child. Hearing his grandfather's words, he cautiously glanced at his mother. Although Emma was still wearing a faint smile on her face, he could feel the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Grandpa," he said cautiously, "after I spend the New Year with you, can I still come back home?"
It was evident that Thomas had been deeply shadowed by the last incident where Paul took him away secretly to the old house in the countryside and didn't let him return.
