Nathaniel Ye originally wanted to come to see Mango, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't move his feet anymore.
He still remembered what Zion had said to him when he was in a daze on the operating table.
Although this child was a little weird, he still donated his blood to him at the most critical time, which made Nathaniel's heart moved beyond words.
This was his son!
Mango was not in the house, and he didn't know where she had gone.
Nathaniel quietly sat on the edge of the bed and tried to separate the two brothers. He held Wisdom up and placed him next to Zion.
However, Wisdom moved a lot during his sleep. As soon as he lay down, he stretched out one leg and directly put it on Zion's waist, and his arm was also holding Zion's body tightly. He muttered, "Boss, I won't let you go!"
Seeing Wisdom's innocent look, Nathaniel's eyes softened a lot.
Although he was the child of Macy, he really wasn't like Macy, which comforted Nathaniel very much.
If what Zack said was true, then he couldn't let Wisdom go back to Ocean City for the sake of Wisdom, at least not now. Zion slept very light. When he noticed that someone was watching him, he quickly opened his eyes.
His eyes were clear and he seemed all conscious. When he saw Nathaniel, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. But the next moment, he noticed Wisdom's ugly sleeping posture and frowned tightly.
Zion glared at Wisdom Ye with some disgust. But Wisdom was still sleeping soundly and he was still drooling at the corner of his mouth.
His brows were about to furrow together.
Seeing Zion's expression, Nathaniel suddenly smiled.
He was indeed his son, he looked exactly the same as he was back then!
"Move his hands and feet away gently. If you can't move them away, just tell him that daddy has come back, he will behave himself immediately."
Nathaniel said in a low voice.
Although Zion didn't want to do it, it was really uncomfortable to be constrained by someone like an octopus.
He tried hard to move Wisdom's hands and feet away, but he seemed to be glued to him, which made Zion really speechless.
He had no choice but to say in a low voice, "Daddy is here!"
As soon as he said that, Wisdom immediately let go of Zion in a panic like a controlled doll and obediently hid in the corner to sleep. And because of Zion's words just now, Nathaniel's whole body trembled.
"Say it again."
Nathaniel looked at his son expectantly.
Zion looked at him arrogantly, he then got up and got out of bed.
"Where is my mommy?"
"She has gone out."
Nathaniel knew that he probably wouldn't hear those words, let alone Zion calling him daddy.
He felt sad when thinking about it. His son knew clearly about their relationship, but he seemed like a stranger to him and refused to recognize him. This feeling was really awful.
"Zion, do you know what happened to your mommy five years ago?"
Nathaniel regretted after he finished asking.
What could a four-year-old child know?
At that time, he was still in Mango's belly.
"Forget it, maybe you don't know it either. Just pretend that I didn't ask."
Nathaniel got up as soon as he finished speaking. Zion Shen frowned slightly.
"Why did you ask that? Didn't you know what happened five years ago?"
"If I tell you that I really have no idea, would you believe it? I don't even know what was behind that big fire that your mother was caught in. When I sent a bodyguard to escort your mommy out of Ocean City, I arranged everything well. But then in the middle of it, I heard the news that your mommy eloped with another man, and the fire then burned all the evidences. I have been investigating for five years, but both your mommy and the bodyguard had gone missing. I know nothing about what happened back then."
Nathaniel felt that he must be crazy. Otherwise, why would he say this to a four-year-old child?
Hearing Nathaniel's words, Zion pondered for a while and asked, "Did you talk to mommy about this?"
"Your mommy doesn't believe me!"
Nathaniel smiled bitterly.
To admit his failure in front of his own son, was this considered a kind of cowardice?
But he just couldn't watch his wife and child getting farther and farther away from him.
Zion didn't say anything, as if he was also judging the authenticity of Nathaniel's words.
Sometimes, Nathaniel felt very grateful to Mango.
This child grew up in the United States, and many of his educational ideas were different from the kids in this country. The child had developed his own thoughts and thinking mode for a long time, unlike the children in this country, who needed adults to protect them everywhere.
In terms of independence, Wisdom was nowhere comparable to Zion.
This was Nathaniel's pride! Although he had done nothing, his pride just came out naturally, which couldn't be eliminated no matter how hard he tried.
Zion couldn't stand Nathaniel's gaze. He coughed and said, "If what you said is true, I will help you. But if I know that you have lied to me, I will also let you pay the price. You know, I just have that ability."
Few people dared to talk to Nathaniel like this in the business world, or even in the entire city of Ocean City. However, his son just had the guts to do so.
Nathaniel was not angry. Instead, he felt particularly proud for him.
"Good! If I lie to you, you can leave me all by myself for the rest of my life."
"I don't want that to happen. If you die alone, what about Wisdom then?"
Zion said with some depression. Then he put on his coat and said to Nathaniel, "I am going to look for Mommy. Mommy has prepared the food, which should be kept in the microwave oven for stay warm. After a while, you can wake up Wisdom and tell him to eat it. He has given you his blood, so he may need nutrition."
