“W-What happened to you?”
Charlotte could sense that something was off, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint it.
“I am dealing with some issues in the headquarter in M Nation now,” replied Zachary grimly, “I got some minor injuries.”
“Are you okay?”
Charlotte frowned deeply. She remembered how Zachary was literally stabbed in the back. That cut was deep, but he never even moaned when they stitched him back together. His voice right now suggests that it is not a minor injury at all.
“Are you worried about me?” asked Zachary softly.
“The kids are,” replied Charlotte, who instantly became annoyed. She handed the phone over to Robbie and informed him, “It’s your daddy.”
Robbie took the phone right away and greeted excitedly, “Daddy!”
“Robbie.”
It had been a while since Zachary heard his son’s voice. Hearing Robbie calling him Daddy made him feel all better. It felt like the pain he was enduring suddenly eased up.
“Daddy, are you okay?” asked Robbie in a worried tone, “Why did you turn your phone off? I couldn’t find you for a while. What happened?”
“I have been working in M Nation and can’t get to my phone,” replied Zachary sweetly, “It’s getting colder in Xendale. Are you and Ellie adapting well there? How is her treatment going?”
“Ellie and I are fine. She’s recovering well, too…”
Robbie spoke discreetly and left out the part where they were in F Nation at that moment.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“Robbie, is that Daddy?” asked Ellie, who saw them and hurried over to request, “I want to talk to him too.”
Robbie handed the phone over, and Ellie shouted into it immediately after. “Daddy, Daddy!”
“Ellie…”
“Daddy,” said Ellie. She couldn’t help sobbing a little as soon as she heard her dad’s voice. She shared, “I miss you so much, Daddy. Why didn’t you call us?”
“Be good, Ellie. I miss you too,” cooed Zachary softly, “I have been working in M Nation, so I couldn’t get to my phone.”
