Zayne looked like a kid who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and said nothing in retort.
Not long after, Jay returned with Baby Robbie and the others. It seemed like their harvest was plentiful. Not only did they bring back birds and other land animals but also the fish and shrimp swimming in the river.
When Zayne saw Jay, he quietly hid to the side. The moment Jay shot his sharp glare at him, his body started trembling.
Ultimately, Zayne could not bear Jay’s fierce cold shoulder and gave in, saying, "Okay. Fine. I was in the wrong, Big Brother. Tell me, what should I do so that you'll forgive me?"
Jay looked at the cloudy sky. As he thought about the wilderness out there and Baby Zetty dragging her old body as she trekked, he became distraught.
"If you want me to forgive you, find Winter for me," said Jay abruptly.
Zayne wanted to curse angrily at Jay again, but when he saw Jay's ice-cold face, he resentfully shut his mouth once more.
Jenson noticed Daddy’s unusual concern for Granny Winter and was bewildered. He quietly asked Baby
Robbie, "Do you know the background of Granny Winter?"
Baby Robbie said, "I don't. I know that she’s superb in the art of healing, but I don't know where she came from or where she's headed."
Jenson said, "Aren't you curious about her identity upon noticing Daddy's special treatment for her?"
Baby Robbie had always been a lazy young man. Perhaps it was because he had seen too many peculiar things while he was in the military intelligence division in the past and the things he had investigated all turned out to be bizarre tragedies.
Now, Baby Robbie had chosen to turn a blind eye to things and try his best to be indifferent toward worldly affairs.
Baby Robbie replied, "I'm curious."
"If you're curious, why didn't you question Granny Winter?" Jenson felt puzzled.
Baby Robbie said, "Oh man. Jens, this is Daddy’s personal matter. How can I, a youngster, intervene?"
Jenson ridiculed, saying, "I think you’re just trying to ignore all outside matters."
Baby Robbie merely chuckled after Jenson managed t o guess his true thoughts.
