"What's going on?"
Mango stood up in shock while Nathaniel's expression turned serious.
Both of them ran out quickly.
Zion threw Wisdom onto the floor, and the latter bumped into a cabinet on the side. The great "bang" sound emitted due to huge impulsive force caught Mango's and Nathaniel's attention, so they immediately went over.
Mango was heartbroken when both and Nathaniel found out that Zion had thrown Wisdom out!
"Are you ok? Does it hurt? Quick! Show me your injury."
Wisdom felt like his entire body was about to fall apart.
Just as he fell asleep, Zion woke up and threw him out without a word.
Wisdom felt pain in his butt because of that fall!
"Mommy, I'm fine. Quick! You take a look at Zion." Just as Wisdom finished talking, Nathaniel arrived at Zion's room. He saw Zion sitting in front of the computer and having fun with a game. In fact, he showed no remorse for what he had just done.
Nathaniel frowned slightly at this scene.
"What are you doing?"
Zion glanced at Nathaniel and turned around. Then, he continued with his game without replying to Nathaniel.
It appeared that Zion's alter ago had a cold personality.
On the end hand, Mango didn't dare to let Wisdom and Zion stay together any longer. She carried Wisdom back to his room quickly and called Emberly in the late-night so that she could come over and take a look at Wisdom.
After she finally managed to drag Emberly over, the latter examined Wisdom and made sure that he was fine. Then, Mango could only let out a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?"
Emberly asked in surprise.
Mango was a little reluctant to tell Emberly the truth. Hence, she said that Wisdom had fallen off the bed due to his improper sleeping posture. She was afraid that he had gotten hurt from the fall, so she let her to come over and take a look.
After that, Emberly went back after ensuring Wisdom was fine.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel stayed at the door of Zion's room the whole night.
Zion didn't do or say anything and kept playing with his game. He only walked to the bed and fell asleep when dawn broke.
After that, Nathaniel walked over to make sure Zion was really sleeping.
Then, he adjusted Zion's sleeping position covered him with a blanket before leaving his room.
Nathaniel knew that he couldn't let things escalate any further.
After Nathaniel came out, he realized that Mango had not slept for the entire night as well.
Mango's face was a little pale, and her eyes were full of dark circles. Thus, Nathaniel felt distressed when she saw how she looked.
"Go to sleep. Grandpa said that he would move there today, but he didn't specify the time. Go back to sleep first, and I'll call you later."
Mango shook her head after hearing Nathaniel's words.
"I'm not sleepy."
It had been a long time since she felt so awake after staying up the entire night.
Mango looked at Nathaniel and said with a smile, "You should go back and sleep for a while. Now that Zion is in this state, we can't leave him alone and go to sleep. So, why don't we take turns?"
"Can your body take it?"
Nathaniel was very worried about Mango's health.
"I'm fine. I slept for a while, and I just woke up. You should go to rest quickly, or maybe I'll get you something to eat."
Mango was about to stand up and head to the kitchen, but Nathaniel stopped her.
"Take a rest. I'll go to sleep."
Nathaniel had no appetite at the moment.
He was upset because his son had become like this.
Mango sighed as she saw Nathaniel returned to his room. Then, she stood up and went to Zion's room.
She looked at Zion, who was asleep, and recalled how thoughtful he used to be. Once again, she regretted sending Zion to the military region.
Her child was still so young, but he had seen the cruelty of war too early. As a parent, she blamed herself for being too brutish.
With this thought in mind, Mango picked Zion up and hugged him in her legs. She patted Zion's body gently as if he was still an infant.
After about three hours of sleep, Zion opened his eyes suddenly.
He saw Mango looking at him with a loving face. However, the dark circles under her eyes made him frown slightly.
"Mommy?"
"Hi, you are awake? Are you hungry? I will make some food for you."
Mango smiled faintly.
Zion shook his head subconsciously.
"I'm not hungry, and I am just a little tired. Also, I feel a little bit sore."
"You've been playing games all night, so you should feel sore. Come on, I will give you a message."
She spoke while massaging Zion's arm.
Zion was stunned for a moment when he heard what she said.
Did he play a game all night?
Why couldn't he remember anything?
He looked at the computer immediately and saw his favourite game was still open on the screen.
Zion frowned slightly.
"Mommy, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat preserved egg porridge with lean meat."
Mango was shocked when Zion opened his mouth suddenly. "Alright, take a rest first, I will cook for you," she replied happily without thinking much.
After that, Mango spared no pains and went to the kitchen.
Then, Zion got up and went straight to Wisdom's room.
Wisdom was still asleep, but he could feel that was someone staring at him. Thus, he felt uncomfortable with it.
