Zion could feel that someone had come in, Evangeline too, but she was also stunned at this time. She didn't know whether she should cover herself with the quilt or hit the person first.
Fortunately, Zion pulled the quilt to cover their bodies in the first place, and he couldn't help but burst into anger.
"Anton, are you crazy? Are you addicted to coming in through the window?"
His woman had almost been seen naked by his friend now. No matter how good-tempered Zion was, he had lost his temper low, not to mention that he actually had a bad temper.
Anton came back to his senses after hearing Zion's shout. He was so embarrassed that he was about to turn around and step out of the window. Zion was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Stop! Stay there and don't move!"
He quickly pulled the bath towel and wrapped it around his body. He then asked Evangeline to wrap herself in the quilt and go to the bathroom.
D*mn it.
What was wrong with him having sex with his girlfriend for a few more rounds?
Didn't he already shut himself in?
Why did Anton suddenly appear?
He didn't think of Anton before.
Zion's heart ached as he thought about it. However, he could sense a trace of sadness from Anton.
After all, they were best friends. Although they hadn't seen each other for so many years, Zion could still tell that he was in a bad mood at first glance.
Evangeline went to the bathroom to take a shower. Anton felt that it was improper to stay here. He blushed and said, "I'll wait for you in the living room." He then jumped out of the window.
The corner of Zion's mouth twitched.
What else could he say?
Zion got up and went to the next room to take a shower. He also asked someone to prepare some food for Evangeline, and then went to the living room.
Anton's eyes were a little dazed. There were even some tears at the corner of his eyes.
Zion couldn't help frowning.
"Hey, why are you crying? What happened?"
When Anton saw that Zion was neatly dressed, he said in a low voice, "My father is gone."
"Where did Mr. Blu go? Why are you still sticking to Mr. Blu at such an age? You should get married in a few years, right?"
Zion didn't understand the meaning of Anton's words at all. He thought that Desmond had gone somewhere. After teasing him, he saw that Anton's eyes were red. He bit his lower lip and said, "My father is dead."
These words directly knocked Zion into a daze, and he was completely stunned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Desmond was very special to Zion. Although his childhood memories were not very clear, he remembered Desmond who had been in danger several times for Rita and him.
Not to mention Desmond was still so young. He was in the prime of his life. How would he...
"What's the reason?"
”1 can't find out the reason."
This was the point which made Anton collapse the most.
"Zion, my dad's gone, and I don't know where my mom is now. My whole family is gone. I feel terrible. I'm so upset!"
Zion could feel Anton's pain, but he couldn't understand him fully.
"Why is it so sudden?"
"It's not that sudden. My father has been in poor health for the past two years. I only thought he had aged and didn’t take it seriously. Who knew that there was something wrong with his body? The doctor said that he had endured the inhuman pain for the past two years and survived day by day. In the end, he asked me to be sent to the hospital for Euthanasia. After he left, his body and blood were donated to the hospital for research. My father didn't even leave a whole corpse. Where should I go to find him if I miss him in the future?"
Anton cried like a child.
Zion's eyes were also moist.
He couldn't help but think of his parents.
He had never felt that they were already past fifty years old. It turned out that the distance between healthy and disease was so close that it made people panic.
"Does my parents know?"
