"What?" Ernest was shocked.
Grace could no longer hold back her tears. She held him in her arms, her tears falling down endlessly.
She really wanted to stop her tears from falling down, but she could no longer help it.
Heinz said, "You and Little Gary are twins. I'll tell you everything, Ernest."
Ernest looked up at Heinz. "Okay, Dad."
"Initially, I didn't know you were my biological child," Heinz started softly. "You were kidnapped by someone, and Uncle Charm was the one who saved you. The first time I saw you, I felt that I had to take you with me, telling you that you were my son."
"Only today when I received the DNA report, did I confirm that you were indeed my son."
"Your mother had given birth to both you and Little Gary five years ago, but you were brought away by bad people. Your mother couldn't find you no matter how hard she tried."
"So, please don't blame Daddy and Mommy, okay?"
Ernest was shocked as he tried to take in his father's words. He felt that his 'mother' was holding him very tightly.
She was crying.
Ernest's heart throbbed.
Was this his mother?
It was no wonder that he felt a sense of familiarity when he first met Grace. Whenever he saw Little Gary, he would feel close to him as well.
It turned out that she was indeed his mother.
That was the reason why they got to be so close.
He looked at Heinz and nodded. Then, he quickly raised his head from Grace's arms.
He looked at Grace and stretched out his little hand to wipe off the tears from her face.
"Don't cry, Mommy." His tiny fingers gently touched her cheeks, wiping off the tears.
Grace sobbed even louder. Her entire body was trembling.
"Don't cry, Mommy. Please don't cry!" When Ernest saw that she was crying so hard, tears welled up in his eyes as well. They fell out in a hurry as he started to panic.
Grace's entire body went completely rigid. The word "Mommy" made her feel like her heart was breaking into two pieces.
Ernest didn't blame her at all for her absence during the past few years. He even recognized her immediately.
This made Grace feel even more upset.
"Good boy." She hugged him tightly again.
"Mommy, please don't cry, okay?" Ernest whispered in her ear. "I've found you. I'm very happy. Me and Little Gary are from the same mommy and daddy. Things couldn't be better."
"Yes, things are good now." Grace nodded and held him close. "Ernest, I'm so happy. I've finally found you."
Heinz sat down behind Grace and engulfed the both of them both into a warm embrace. He said, "Our family is finally reunited."
"Where's Little Gary?" asked Ernest.
Heinz paused. He suddenly got up. "I'm going to bring Little Gary over. Grace, you can have a talk with Ernest. Well skip school tomorrow. Let's just rest at home."
"To celebrate the reunion of our family?" Ernest looked up at him.
"That's right." Heinz nodded.
"Okay, Dad, go bring Little Gary over. I'll make Mommy happy again." Ernest waved his hands at Heinz.
Heinz nodded. "Okay."
He looked at the pair of mother and son who were hugging each other tightly and left.
He wanted to tell Little Gary everything, so he could face him without guilt.
He was afraid that Ernest was another woman's child. Now, he could rest well knowing that he was Grace's son.
