"Is it because of what happened to the Dark Night Empire? I swear..."
"That's it!"
Nathaniel interrupted Carlson's words. He looked at him with mixed emotion, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Even so, Carlson could still feel Nathaniel's alienation and indifference towards him.
After all, things changed.
In the past, he had always heard that he would have to become a lonely person if he wanted to possess the throne. In fact, he always felt that he would not do it since he had good friend around him.
But what happened to their friendship?
This was not what he wanted, but he could do nothing about it.
Nathaniel knew his sadness, but he couldn't forgive what Benson had done. If it wasn't for the sake of Carlson or the country, he would never let it slide. However, it seemed that it didn't matter now.
Sometimes, letting go was something that happened in an instant.
There were heroes in every generation of the world. Without him around, there was still Wisdom and Zion left behind, wasn't it? He only hoped that they wouldn't be a great disappointment in the future.
He only wanted to take care of Mango in this life.
Meanwhile, Mango made some food for Zion. Upon seeing Zion ate happily, she felt much more better.
From the window, she noticed that the conversation between Nathaniel and Carlson did not seem to be very pleasant. Carlson was frowning, but Nathaniel was so distant as if he had just met him.
Mango sighed.
Zion glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Mommy, are you and Daddy unhappy with me staying over?"
"No."
Mango patted his head and said with a smile, "Live your own life however you wish to be. Your daddy and I are just guiding you, but we won't interfere in your life decisions. We're happy as long as you and Wisdom know what you guys really want. Zion, don't worry about how adults get along with each other. Just take care of yourself and get along well with your own social circle."
All of a sudden, Zion was glad that his mommy had always been so open- minded. He couldn't help but reach out to grab Mango's waist and rubbed his face on her belly. He whispered, "Thank you, mommy."
"Silly."
In fact, Mango felt sorry for her son, but she also indulged him. She would support him no matter what. After all, her son didn't need to suffer. He could live as he wanted.
The conversation between Carlson and Nathaniel ended without a conclusion. Carlson felt sorry for the victims ever since he had been staying with the them for the past few days.
Meanwhile, Wisdom was participating in a joint research with the doctors and Tristan. They finally developed the medicine for treatment. They also conducted meticulous experiments to ensure the safety of the clinical trials.
All of a sudden, the pandemic had attacked the people of the country like a tornado, but it quickly dissipated because of the success of the antidote.
Three months later, the pandemic ended, and the overseas battlefield returned to peace.
