It was an unfamiliar number, but it made Zac uneasy.
He answered the phone, and Elvis' voice came from the other end of the line.
"You are Zac, right? I think you should know who I am. Although I don't want you to be my daughter's husband, I won't say anything since she likes you. But shouldn't you do something for me to show your filial piety?"
Zac was disgusted with Elvis' shamelessness. He had only felt disgusted in the past, but now he knew that Elvis had kidnapped his parents, which caused the break-up of his family. So he hated Elvis.
"You're daydreaming."
"Of course, I like to be optimistic. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I will bring my daughter to see your father. It's good to let him see his daughter-in-law, isn't it?"
Elvis' words immediately made Zac nervous.
"What did you do to Petty?"
"Why did you say that? She's my daughter. What can I do to her? I just come to see her. Is that right, Petty?"
As soon as Elvis finished speaking, Zac heard Petty's voice came from the other end of line.
"Zac and I have already broken up. Do you think he would still like me after I betrayed my brother?"
Zac's heart tensed up.
Petty was actually in the hands of Elvis!
How could that be?
Zac panicked.
"Don't hurt her! If there's anything you want, come at me! She's your daughter, how can you treat her like this?"
"If she wasn't my daughter, she would have died earlier. Zac, I won't talk nonsense with you. Samuel sent Gerry to the detention center. I ask you to bring him out and send him to me."
Elvis did not hide his intention.
"He's already been sent to the detention center. What can I do? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Zac was a little depressed.
Elvis sneered and said, "I don't care. If I can't see Gerry one day later, you will see Petty's corpse. Zac, don't think that I will be merciful. Daughter is useless to me. I only want my son, do you understand?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zac's heart beat fiercely.
When Lucas came out, he saw Zac standing there with a pale face, as if he had lost his soul.
He was alright just now, but why did he become like this in the blink of an eye?
Lucas walked over and pushed Zac.
"Uncle Zac, what's wrong with you?"
Zac looked at Lucas and said apologetically, "Nothing. Have you packed up yet?"
"Yes, this is the food that Wendy brought to Mommy. Shall we leave now?"
"Alright."
Zac was a little absent-minded, but Lucas did not ask anything.
They got in the car and went to the hospital.
Lucas came to Nicole's ward and knocked on the door, while Zac went to check the security work.
"Come in."
Nicole said indifferently.
Lucas opened the door and walked in. He called, "Mommy!"
"My precious son! I heard your daddy say that you caught No. 2 by yourself. You are awesome, son!"
Nicole kissed on Lucas' forehead for a few times.
Although Lucas was a little helpless towards his mother's enthusiasm, he could only let her go. She would never be tired of it.
When Nicole finally let go of Lucas, he took out the delicious food.
"Wendy cooked it. She said it is nutritious. It's pork liver soup. Mommy, eat more."
Nicole frowned slightly.
"Aren't you going to share some? You're also growing. How about eating some too?"
Nicole said as she was about to pour it for Lucas.
Lucas hurriedly stopped her and gloated, "Mommy, you are a patient. You need to eat more, otherwise the outside world will gossip."
Lucas laughed when he remembered that the outside world said Nicole was dying.
His mommy has the potential to be a star.
How could Nicole not recognize that Lucas was mocking her? She pretended to be fierce. "Did you just laugh at me? I'll tell your daddy and let him spank your butt!"
"Mommy, how old are you? Why do you still complain? You are so childish."
Lucas was a little disdainful.
But Nicole pretended not to see it and said, "Who cares? This method works well."
"I despise you."
Lucas sat on the chair, swaying his legs. Seeing Nicole drinking the pork liver soup and frowning, he laughed and said, "Mommy, your expression is exactly the same as Uncle Zac's. His expression just now was so bad, but not long ago, he was obviously very happy."
"Uncle Zac? Zac?"
Nicole put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Yes, who else?"
Lucas' words made Nicole slightly stunned.
Samuel had already told her about the current of the matter. Normally, Zac shouldn't be worried anymore. Could anything else just happened?
"Where's your Uncle Zac?"

What is it with Chinese authors.
