Get Mommy To Treat Uncle Zayn
In the evening, Carla picked some books about poison treatments and left Mount Phoenix with the photo.
The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the road down the mountain.
After Hapilia's and Sam's figures disappeared from the rearview mirror, she retracted her gaze and looked at the old photo she was holding.
Prior to leaving, she had already sent the photo and all the relevant information she discovered to Brandy, hoping that the new leads would assist him in finding Derelo.
Time waits for no man. As of then, they only had fourteen days left.
With a heavy heart, Carla ordered, "Drive faster so that we can get home sooner."
"Yes, Mrs. Giblo."
After sleeping for the entire day at home, Zayn forced himself to get up and take a shower before going downstairs to dine with the children.
He thought he had recovered his strength. Unexpectedly, his legs buckled when he was going down the steps. If not for Benard catching him, he would have fallen down the staircase.
"Mr. Giblo, I have something to report."
Pretending that he had something important to share, Benard talked as he walked down the steps with Zayn.
In truth, he was using his own strength to support Zayn.
As a result, the other subordinates and maids did not realize anything was amiss.
The moment Zayn arrived downstairs, the children surrounded him.
"Daddy, Daddy!"
"Uncle Zayn, Uncle Zayn!"
"Hi, kids!" Zayn gently pushed Benard away before bending down to pick the children up. To his surprise, he was struck by a dizzy spell the moment he did so.
"Mr. Giblo…" Benard was extremely worried.
"All of you are being too noisy!" Randy yelled. "Return to your seats and sit down, now!"
Momentarily stunned, all of them obediently went back to the dining table, albeit pouting.
When the children were climbing back onto their chairs, Benard seized the opportunity to help Zayn to his seat. Then, wearing a smile on his face, he chatted with the children. "Kids, did you have a good time at school today?"
"Yes, we did!"
"There was an exam today, and I got full marks for all the subjects."
"Me too!"
"We learned how to sing today…"
"And also how to draw…"
The kids recounted everything they did in school to Benard. Only Randy did not say a word. Instead, he quietly brought Zayn a glass of warm water. "Daddy, have some water."
"Thank you, Randy."
Zayn was so weak that he could not even carry a conversation with the children.
Hence, Benard spoke to them on purpose in an effort to distract them.
Nonetheless, Randy saw through it all.
When he saw how lethargic his father was, he was utterly heartbroken. Even so, he kept his emotions to himself and could only ask, "Daddy, you look really tired."
"I'm fine." Zayn tousled the boy's hair. "Go back to your seat. It's time to eat."
"Okay." Randy returned to his seat.
After Vela and the maids had served the last dish, everyone began to eat.
Not having much of an appetite, Zayn forced himself to take a few bites before preparing to head back upstairs. However, the instant he got to his feet, he fell.
"Mr. Giblo!"
Although Benard managed to reach him in time, it was still too late. Zayn had fallen by the dining table.
"Daddy!"
That was the first time Zayn failed to hold himself together and collapsed in front of the children.
In an instant, everyone fell into a state of panic.
Benard quickly brought Zayn to his bedroom and requested Naya's presence.
Meanwhile, Josh and Venus stood by the bed. Even though their bodies were trembling as they cried, they covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound.
As for Randy, he stood by the corner and did not dare to approach. Nevertheless, tears were streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Back at the dining room, Vela and the maids were disconcerted by Zayn's unexpected condition.
Only Daemon's children continued eating at the table, oblivious to what was going on.
"Is Uncle Zayn sick?"
"Looks like it."
"He definitely is."
"His condition seems to be serious."
"Why didn't Aunt Carla get Mommy to treat him?"
