"What are you doing? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Zion wanted to pull his arm back, but he heard Rita ask, "Brother, do you have a daughter?"
"Yes, she's four years old. She's a good girl."
Zion said casually, but Rita couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Four years old? Who gave birth to her? Evangeline?"
"What are you talking about?"
Zion flicked her forehead and then told her about Allegra's background.
He had been so busy these days that he had forgotten this little girl.
When the Laurent family was seized, it was Mylo who took them there. In order to ensure the safety of Allegra, Zion asked Mylo to take Allegra away directly. After so many things happened one after another, Zion didn't have time to pick up Allegra.
As for Evangeline, it was estimated that because of Eugene's supervision, she could not come out for a while, so Allegra stayed with Mylo.
Rita breathed a sigh of relief when she told him the whole story.
"I thought you and Evangeline did it five years ago.
"What are you thinking?"
Zion rolled his eyes at Rita, then got up, grabbed his coat, and left.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Take my daughter home!"
"I'm going too!"
Rita suddenly realized that she was an aunt. This feeling was too sudden.
She came to Zion with a smile and told him what Mylo had said not long ago. She had thought that Zion would be shocked, but Zion seemed to be very calm, which made Rita a little confused.
"Wisdom, you knew know about it, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Zion didn't hide it from Rita. He just said that after he came out, he made Rita feel a little depressed.
"When did this happen? Don't tell me that you haven't predicted it yet?"
"That's not possible. But when Sir Lionel asked someone to treat Wisdom, Mylo felt that something was wrong. But at that time, none of us could stop it from happening. It just so happened that Jake's research on this medicine was successful. Mylo and I discussed it and decided to keep it a secret for the time being. For the sake of his escape and Wisdom's recovery, we have to find a way out."
Hearing Zion's words, Rita finally understood why Mylo had become so scheming. It was her brother who had given her advice.
"How long have you been in cahoots with each other?"
"What do you mean by being in cahoots? Rita, there's something wrong with your words. From the moment Mylo decided to marry you, he had been discussing matters with me."
Zion's lips curled into a smile.
He had approved of his soon-to-be brother-in-law.
It was all the same.
"No, that's not right either."
Zion denied it in his heart, but the expression on his face was very happy.
Rita rolled her eyes at him and got into the car.
When they arrived at Mylo's side, Mylo was cooking in the kitchen. In the living room, a little girl about four or five years old was sitting quietly and watching TV.
Zion couldn't help but cough when he saw Allegra.
Allegra suddenly looked up and saw Zion coming in.
"Daddy!"
She jumped up from the sofa and ran toward Zion.
Zion's eyes were full of tenderness. He squatted down, opened his arms, and held Allegra tightly in his arms.
"Daddy, I miss you so much! Why isn't Mommy here?"
"Mommy is busy, so she can't come. But will you and Daddy go to pick Mommy up later?"
Zion picked up his daughter.
