Old Man Wilson sat alone in his study, a wave of regret filling his heart. He even wondered if his approach was wrong. Was the millennia-old tradition of the wolf-hunting struggle really necessary? The winner reigned supreme, the loser a foe. Only in this way could the potential within these children be unleashed.
Instead of being like they are now, they are as soft as little rabbits, at a loss when encountering something, and even letting their emotions dominate their brains.
Aside from Louis, the others probably wouldn't achieve great things. The Wilson family's prosperity never relied on just one person, but on the combined efforts of everyone. Their current situation would only lead the entire family downhill.
It’s just that the old man couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart.
The fact that he had forced Alex to flee his homeland was a pain that would forever haunt the old man. In their youth, they had been inseparable companions, close brothers, but in that struggle, each had treated the other with utter cruelty, ultimately forcing them to never see each other again.
It would be a lie to say that I don't regret it, but there has been no news from Alex for so many years, and the old man doesn't know where to find him.
Moreover, the old man had to admit that he was wary of Alex's methods. He was also afraid that Alex would come back and take away everything that belonged to him.
"Kindness is indeed a sharp blade. Although it can achieve superficial harmony, it is ultimately not conducive to growth."
The old man sighed.
Speaking of Eric, he had his own assessment in mind. This kid had been influenced by his surroundings since he was young, and there was no way he was as simple as he seemed. Everything he did had his purpose.
But the old man believed in his heart that Eric was not a bad boy, and he still wanted to give him a chance.
Is it really because I'm getting old that I've become so indecisive?
The old man smiled self-deprecatingly.
Over the years, he had done many things that made him regret, especially Yu Zhi's mother, who was always a thorn in his heart. So when Eric looked at him with those eyes, he could no longer say cold and heartless words.
Belated affection is cheaper than grass. No matter what he does, he can't make up for the regret he has for his daughter, but he doesn't want this regret to happen again.
"Give that kid another chance."
The old man made a decision in his heart.
"Anna, what are you going to do?"
Andy looked at Anna with a worried look on her face, feeling that things were beyond their expectations and preparations.
"The old man sent me to Australia to deal with some issues in the local livestock industry."
There have indeed been many problems in the Australian industry in recent days, especially the livestock industry, which was operating well and was suddenly attacked.
The mastermind behind this incident has not yet been found, but everyone speculates that it must have been done by local gangs.
The current situation is so serious that no matter who goes to Australia, he will suffer at least some loss of life.
Although Anna is an S-level Alpha, she is a girl after all, and it is still somewhat dangerous for her to go to such a place.
"How could the old man make such a decision? Otherwise, I'll go talk to him."
Andy wanted to go to the study, but Anna grabbed his wrist.
"I think it's best for you not to offend the old man right now. Besides, I think going to Australia is also a test for me. I can't rely on the Wilson family forever. I should show my abilities."
Anna has always been a decisive person, and she is quick to cut through the mess when dealing with many things. She can understand Mr. Wilson's actions, so she will not feel resentful about this arrangement.
"But you've never been exposed to such darkness. Eric is coming with such force this time, you must be on guard at home."
Andy nodded. He had always been very close to his sister Anna, but now that they were separated all of a sudden, he suddenly felt a lot of things that he was not used to.
Anna packed her luggage quickly. From the moment Mr. Wilson gave the order, she had already arranged a flight to Australia and left immediately without delay.
Andy watched Anna disappear from his sight and sighed slightly.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, which was 8:00 in the morning in China.
He called Yu Zhi's cell phone. The person on the other end seemed to have just woken up and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Yuzhi, Anna was sent to Australia by grandpa. I'm so lonely here alone. When can you come and keep me company?"
Yu Zhi listened to the voice on the other end of the phone. It was very low and sounded like the person was in a bad mood.
It will be understandable in the future. After all, the twins Andy and Anna have always been inseparable. They will definitely not be able to adapt to being separated suddenly.
"I'm busy with a sculpture competition lately, and I really can't take time off from school. How about this, I'll definitely come over to be with you during winter break."
Andy nodded. After all, Yu Zhi still had schoolwork to do. Education in China was quite different from that in the West. They had to go to school strictly according to the rules and regulations and could not manage their time at will.
However, facing internal and external troubles at this time, Andy especially wanted Yu Zhi to accompany him.
"Okay then, we agreed that you must come over when you have your day off. Grandpa just came back, and I can see he misses you too."
Wilson's family left a very good impression on Yu Zhi.
It seemed that everyone was very kind to him and treated him well to the best of their ability. This feeling of family affection made Yu Zhi feel warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, you should also ask grandpa to take care of his health and don't overwork himself."
After hearing Yu Zhi's words, Andy quickly agreed.
He just didn't know why he was going to see Mr. Wilson, so now he could take this opportunity to talk to him.
After hanging up the phone, Andy immediately walked towards the study. He stood at the door and knocked respectfully, not stepping in until Mr. Wilson agreed.
"Grandpa, I just called Yu Zhi. He told you to take care of yourself and that he'll come over during the winter break."
Andy has a cute baby face, and the dimples that appear when he smiles are even more rare.
But in the eyes of old man Wilson, his naive appearance means that he lacks experience.
But these words made Mr. Wilson feel very comfortable.
"I see."
Seeing that Mr. Wilson didn't want to say anything else, Andy scratched his head nervously.
"Grandpa, I heard that the situation in Australia is quite serious for Anna. Do you think she would be a little too vulnerable all alone?"
Old man Wilson saw through Andy's thoughts the moment he came in, but he didn't expose it.
He originally thought that his attitude would make Andy give up, but he didn't expect that this guy would help his sister even at the risk of being scolded by him.
How can a family built on kinship be useless?
"Andy, if Anna wants to inherit the Wilson family, she must go through this stage. She is a powerful Alpha, and you should believe in her ability."
"Sorry, Grandpa. I get it."
Andy lowered his head and listened to what Mr. Wilson said.
After spending a peaceful night, Eric opened his eyes, sunlight was shining on his body. Beneath him was a soft silk quilt, and beside him were high-end medical devices that were monitoring his vital signs.
The coarse cloth clothes he was wearing had long been replaced by his servants and replaced with the high-end custom-made pajamas he often wore before.
This kind of life is the life that belongs to me.
Eric closed his eyes and enjoyed the peace he had longed for in recent days.
He had already started preparing for Mr. Wilson's return.
Normally he only ate one meal at home and tried his best to keep himself hungry. He walked from home to Wilson Manor, and this distance was enough to consume all the energy in his body, which happened to cause his coma.
It cannot be said that he is scheming. Eric just uses any means to achieve his goal, even if it means hurting his own body.
"Master Eric, are you awake?"
The family doctor rushed to the ward immediately after hearing the sound of the monitor, but saw Eric still with his eyes closed, so he asked in a low voice.
"Ah."
Eric's weak voice came out of his throat, and he slowly opened his eyes. His azure eyes looked even brighter under the sunlight.
"You are still very weak. I have prepared a meal for you strictly according to the nutritional recipe. I will have the servants bring it to you in a moment."
The family doctor diligently recorded all of Eric's physical data.
"Thanks a lot."
Eric was very humble.
Now, every blade of grass and every tree in this house, including every servant, would become his target. After all, if he wanted to obtain information from the Wilson family, these people were crucial. Just like the family doctor, he had real-time information about Mr. Wilson's health. By building a good relationship with him, even if he had to do something, he could easily gain access.
"You're embarrassing me by saying that. This is my job, and it's what I should do."
The family doctor's words were flawless and his actions were methodical, so there was no way to find a breakthrough.
But everyone has weaknesses. Eric has already memorized his appearance and name, and will wait until he has a chance to go out so that Alex can investigate him thoroughly.
But the most urgent thing now is to get Mr. Wilson to sleep with him, so that he can successfully stay in the Wilson family.
After a while, Eric heard the sound of crutches in the corridor. He quickly sat up from the bed and looked towards the door of the ward obediently.
Sure enough, old man Wilson pushed the door open and walked in.
"Grandpa, I didn't expect you to still come to see me."
Eric's eyes were sparkling with emotion. He excitedly pushed hard towards old man Wilson, but it pulled the needle in his body.
"Just lie down. Your body can't handle this anymore."
Looking at Eric's extremely pale face and frail body, the old man sighed.
"Grandpa, I shouldn't enjoy these treatments anymore. I should go home. I will never forget your kindness to me, but I don't have the chance to repay you."
Eric's spirit collapsed in an instant, and he even lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the old man.
"Eric, these things really have nothing to do with you, right?"
The old man's voice was extremely oppressive, and Eric felt that he had nowhere to hide from his sight.
But things had already come to this point, and this simple sentence was definitely not enough to crush Eric's will.
"Grandpa, I swear to God that I never did these things."
Seeing Eric's resolute look, Mr. Wilson felt relieved.
There were indeed a few fools in Eric's family, which was the reason for their decline. However, since this child hadn't made any major mistakes, there was no need to blame him for these trivial matters.
"I understand. Don't worry. These things won't change our relationship. Just rest assured and recuperate here."
