“Of course I believe in y'all.” Seeing Ellie sobbing, old Henry's heart softened. Directing his anger at Zachary, he explained, “I just don't trust this rascal...”
“He's not a rascal. He's our Daddy.” Jamie hurriedly defended Zachary, even running over and spreading his arms in front of the latter, as an act of protecting his precious father!
“Grandpa, Daddy wasn't lying to you,” Robbie earnestly explained. “I was allergic to kiwi. Daddy felt that something was wrong and took me for a DNA test. Through that, he found out I was his child.”
At this moment, old Henry finally believed. After all, Zachary himself was allergic to kiwi fruit since he was still a child. This information was never revealed to anyone as a protective measure so enemies would not be able to cash in on such a weakness.
No one knew about this except for those in the inner family circle.
Also, Robbie was a mere three-and-a-half-year-old boy. Surely it would be impossible for him to fabricate it. Even though Robbie was the most mentally independent amongst his siblings, it was still a tall task to fool both old Henry and Zachary with this prank...
“Gracious heavens! I've thought I won't be able to see the fourth generation of the Nacht family with my own eyes in this lifetime...” Old Henry was so touched that he burst into tears of joy. “Such a great surprise to greet me just as I open my eyes! Good Lord!”
“It's great that you're so happy.” Zachary finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Such nonsense. How could I be unhappy? Those countless moments when I fantasized about such a scene... I've hoped for ages that these three would turn out to be the real flesh and blood of our Nacht family. Ain't expecting my dream to be real...” Trailing off, old Henry tremblingly stretched out his arms to the children and called out, “Children, come 'ere! Give yer' Great-grandpa a hug!”
“Grandpa... Great-grandpa!”
The three children rushed over immediately and dived into the waiting arms of old Henry.
“Aww, my good kids!”
Moved to tears, old Henry hugged the children tightly. The dream that he had for a long time finally had come true...
Witnessing the touching scene at the side, a smile crept across Zachary's lips. As long as old Henry was happy, everything else would be easy.
Even Spencer who was the sideline spectator found his eyes uncontrollably wet.
“Great-grandpa, we've all moved to Daddy's house now. Let's live there together when you're discharged from the hospital,” Robbie invited as he tugged old Henry's hand.
