"What's wrong?" Wisdom was acting unusually now, and he made Nathaniel's expression sour.? "No...nothing." Wisdom shrunk and he tried to escape Nathaniel's grasp, but to no avail. On the other hand, he frowned tightly as if he was in great pain.? Nathaniel lifted Wisdom's arm suddenly.? There were multiple bruises on Wisdom's arm, and Nathaniel's heart swelled with sorrow when he saw them.? "Nickl! What the f*ck is wrong with you? Wisdom is your biological son!" Nathaniel never expected that Wisdom would have been beaten so badly in such a short time. Most importantly, he was covered in lash marks.? Wisdom was barely four years old, yet he was tortured like this.? Although Wisdom looked healthier and less pale, the scars underneath his clothes angered Nathaniel greatly.? Just then, he lifted Wisdom's clothes to check.? Upon seeing Wisdom's wounds, Nathaniel pulled him aside and he grabbed Nick's collar, "He is your son,
Mango was still scrolling through the news on her laptop when she heard frantic knocking on the door. Thus, she couldn't help but frown.? "Who is it?" "Mommy, hurry up and go to the study!?Daddy and Uncle are fighting!" Wisdom burst into tears upon hearing Mango's voice.? Mango quickly shot out of bed after discovering that Nathaniel and Nick were fighting. She put on a coat before leaving the room.? "Wisdom? What's wrong?" She was a little confused to see the horrible state of Wisdom's body. Then she spotted his bleeding palms before saying, "Hurry up and come inside! Let me treat those wounds." "Don't worry about me, Mommy. You should go to the study room. Daddy and Uncle are fighting!" Wisdom had unknowingly started addressing Nathaniel as his uncle.? Mango was surprised to hear that, but it was only natural once she thought about it. She hurriedly said, "Okay, honey, don't cry. Mommy will go take a look." Mango and W
Nathaniel knew that Madam Ye would get angry, but he didn't think that she would be this mad. Thus, he stepped forward and tried to catch the cane, but he was too late. The cane hit Nick in the forehead, and it bruised immediately. Obviously, Madam Ye threw it with a lot of force. However, Madam Ye's anger hadn't dissipated at all, and she could hardly stand upright.? "Don't blame your brother for hitting you as you're not human at all! Wisdom is only four years old! Look at what you did to him? Did I ever hit you when you were four? Have I ever hit you at all? Wisdom is your son, and yet you beat him up so badly! Are you insane?" Madam Ye's eyes welled up with tears.? Wisdom was her eldest grandson. Madam Ye thought that Nick had brought Wisdom out to show him the ropes when she hadn't seen the kid for a while, but she never imagined that he would be beaten up.? "Mom, please calm down. You should sit down first, okay?" Mango hurriedly we
Wisdom fell asleep as he sobbed in Mango's arms, but his body still twitched from time to time, making her heart ached.? Mango then placed Wisdom on her bed before applying medicine to his wounds.? The more she saw the injuries, the more upset she felt.? Meanwhile, Zion stood by her side and he didn't leave. After watching Mango treating Wisdom's bruises, he muttered, "Mommy, can I stay here with Wisdom?" "Sure, but he's a little tired, so don't wake him up." Mango felt comforted when she saw how close Zion and Wisdom were.? "Okay." Zion nodded his head. Looking at Zion's expression, Mango knew he was worried, and she was afraid that he'd hate Nick, "You're not allowed to cause trouble for your uncle about what happened today, got it?" "But he beat Wisdom!" Zion's eyes narrowed.? Mango knew that both brothers loved one another, and she sighed upon noticing Zion's behavior, "He's your uncle and Wisdom's father. Are
In fact, Wisdom didn't sleep very well. All the things he had suffered over the past few days made it impossible for him to fall asleep. Wisdom woke up shortly after Mango left, and he was surprised to find Zion sitting next to him.? "Why are you here?" "I'm afraid you'll oversleep." Zion said in a low voice, then he stood up to pour Wisdom a glass of water. Honestly, Wisdom felt a little flabbergasted. Usually, he was the one serving Zion in the past. Now that the roles were reversed, Wisdom was a little unaccustomed to it.? "Take it!" Zion saw Wisdom staring at him like a fool and he wondered if the latter had been beaten silly.? Then, Wisdom took the cup in a hurry while giggling. "What are you laughing at?" "Nothing. It just feels great to have you at home." Wisdom's words made Zion a little speechless. The latter then walked to the door while looking outside. Next, Zion locked the door when he real
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Mango walked over quickly. However, Zion stood behind Mango and he gestured Wisdom the victory sign.? Wisdom waited for Mango to walk over before he opened his eyes.? "Mommy." "Does it hurt?" Mango's heart ached for him.? Wisdom shook his head and he said, "I'm much better now. Thank you, Mommy." Wisdom suddenly felt a little sad at the thought of leaving his loving mother to run away with Zion.? "Mommy, can you hug me?" Wisdom's request surprised Mango. He must be in a lot of pain right now. "Of course!" Mango embraced Wisdom without hesitation.? Wisdom's body was thinner than before, but it was also stronger. He hugged Mango before muttering, "Mommy, you're the best mother in the world! If only you were my real mom." Mango was saddened by those words.? "I am your Mommy! No matter how old you get, or where you go, I will always be your mother for the rest
Wisdom was a little confused and he couldn't help but take a step forward. Zion grabbed him before asking, "Where are you going?" Only then did Wisdom come to his senses. "Nowhere." He smiled without telling Zion about Nick, but a suspicion arose in his heart.? If his father had left, would he discover their plan? Or would he not be returning tonight? Wisdom couldn't figure it out, and he was rather concerned.? Zion and Rita bickered for a while longer before they returned home.? Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Mango were chatting with Madam Ye, and the entire house seemed more peaceful. When the three children came back, Rita threw herself into Nathaniel's arms. "Daddy, Zion bullied me!" The corner of Zion's mouth twitched in annoyance.? "Mind your words, Rita. Who's doing the bullying here?" "You are!" Rita stuck out her tongue at Zion from Nathaniel's embrace, and her mischievous look elicited laughter from
Since Mango couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.? "Things like this will slowly come to light. You've just returned, so don't think too much about it. Why don't we rest for a while since you're so tired? We'll look into this once you feel better tomorrow." Mango comforted Nathaniel. However, how could he sleep when it was just eight o'clock? Nathaniel put her hands in his embrace and he said, "Do you know? All I've wanted to do for the past eight days is hold you in my arms. We don't have to do anything except talk. We could chat about our kids, our future, anything." "What do you want to talk about? Go on!" Mango snuggled up beside Nathaniel and she felt extremely content.? She had no idea how long her body could last, nor how much time the toxins in her body would afford with Nathaniel and her family. However, Mango felt that it was worth it if she could spend every day in bliss like this.? Nathaniel kissed the
