Nathaniel paused for a moment and continued, "Kolton has sent someone to arrest your parents for the gene reconstruction. When your parents got the news, it was too late for them to escape. They had no choice but to ask someone to send you away, leaving your name and birthday with you. However, the person who sent you away was hunted down before arriving at your relatives' house. He was helpless, so he could only send you to the gate of the orphanage. He felt that you could avoid those people who were looking for you this way. After all, the orphanage was a good hiding place as there were a lot of people."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Newell's heart was filled with displeasure.
He pondered for some time. He said only after a while, "Is there someone who can prove all of this?"
"Yes, I've brought them all here. I can take you to meet them at any time if you want."
Newell nodded.
Nathaniel took him to the reception room next door. There were several old people together with a young man.
That young man looked slightly similar to Newell, but he looked younger than him.
"This is your younger brother, Wayion. He's the child that your parents gave birth to after they were captured. However, he was not as lucky as you. Ever since he was born, he has been treated as an experimental subject. He has been continuously injected with cell regeneration and transplanting drugs, and now he has no reproductive capacity anymore. That's why the child in Sisi's belly is the best weapon that you could use against them. If you still have doubts, you can do a paternity test with him."
Newell was shocked after hearing Nathaniel's words.
He looked at the pale-looking boy in front of him and didn't know what to do for a while.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
Wayion spoke, but it made Newell even more shocked.
What?
However, Wayion seemed like he was around 18 years old.
"My body has stopped functioning. Dad said that I might not live any longer. Mr. Ye was the one who sent someone to sneak in and took me out."
Wayion hurriedly explained as if he knew what Newell was thinking.
Newell felt as if he was fighting back tears.
"Mr. Ye, why didn't you save my father since you brought out my brother?"
He couldn't imagine what his parents and brother had gone through in the research institute all these years.
Before Nathaniel could speak, Wayion had begun to speak.
"It was not easy for Mr. Ye to take me out. I was a failed product in the experiment and was about to die, so they threw me in the rubbish dump to burn me. Our garbage dump was not well guarded, so Mr. Ye took me away with little effort. However, dad is one of the core members of the institute. He is heavily guarded every day, and they locked him up in a central place where no one can get close to. Newell, dad told me that mom's last words were about you. She said that it was lucky that they sent you away that time. She hoped you could live well for our sake as well."
Newell instantly burst into tears.
"Stop talking...please."
He held Wayion in his arms, only to find that Wayion was all skin and bones, which was a little disturbing.
Nathaniel did not disturb them and backed out from the spot.
Right at this moment, Mango called.
"What are you doing now?"
Mango felt a little bored in the hospital alone, but she had to act well that people would believe her. She couldn't go out now, so she was upset as she only wanted to listen to Nathaniel's voice for a while.
Nathaniel smiled and said, "Nothing much. I'm dealing with Newell's affairs."
"What's wrong with Newell?"
Mango was slightly confused.
Nathaniel told her about Sisi's identity and what Kolton came back to look for.
When Mango heard about this, she felt as if she was listening to a story, and she was surprised.
"Oh my goodness! Is Sisi your cousin? Are you saying that she was the one who poisoned Pryce Number One?"
"Sort of, but there are some other issues. I'll tell you later."
Mango could not understand what Nathaniel had told her completely because he had given her a lot of info.
"Wait, are you going to do something to Sisi?
Since Newell let her go, why did you find her back?"
"The Ye family is the safest place for her to stay now. I can't let her fall into Koiton's hands, not only for her sake but also her baby as well."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango immediately became excited.
"Is Sisi pregnant?"
"Yeah, I just found out. She's only been pregnant for one month. Wait...shouldn't you hate Sisi? She has betrayed you and me after all."
Nathaniel asked in confusion when he heard Mango's excited voice.
Mango said with a laugh, "Naha! Didn't you say that there are other parties involved in this? Besides, there's a baby in Sisi's belly. We don't have the right to kill an innocent baby, do we?"
Nathaniel could tell that Mango was trying to plead for mercy for Sisi.
He smiled and said, "Hmm...you are afraid that I would feel sad after making a difficult decision, aren't you? After all, I have no more relatives. Sisi is my cousin, and she grew up together with me. You want her to stay by my side, right?"
Seeing that Nathaniel had become honest, Mango smiled and said, "We only have a few members in the Ye family, and Sisi has her own difficulties as well. To be honest, she didn't want to go against us on purpose. I was once suspicious of Sisi, but I changed my mind quickly. After all, if she wanted to help Kolton, I reckon that she would have exposed Wisdom, Rita and Zion. No matter who she exposed, we would have been controlled by him, right? However, Sisi didn't do that. She protected the children all this time, and she was even attacked yesterday to protect them. That's why I felt that she was sincerely treating the children. After all, she's their biological aunt."
Nathaniel's brows slightly wrinkled.
"Someone attacked the hospital the other day?"
