Chapter 295
When Zion''s phone rang, Nathaniel had just ended the call with Mango. However, Zion''s phone
rang as soon as Nathaniel wanted to speak to him.
"Who''s calling?"
Nathaniel asked offhandedly.
Zion nced at his phone before he replied faintly, "I''m entitled to my own privacy."
After that, he ran out with the phone in his hand. "Privacy? Why does a kid like him need privacy?"
Nathaniel felt as if his son had looked down at him, but he shook his head helplessly as this was
indeed amon urrence.
Meanwhile, Zion found a quiet corner to answer the video call after he left the room. Then, Rita''s
aggrieved expression appeared on the screen.
"Brother Zion, you don''t love me anymore."
"How can that be? I love you the most."
Zion noticed that Rita''s face was pale, but she seemed more energetic and that reassured him
greatly.
"Nonsense, you haven''t visited me in such a long time. Brother Wisdom has always been with me,
so are you especially busy with something? What''s got you so busy?"
Frankly, Rita and Zion were always together ever since they were born. Hence, she was rather
annoyed when Zion had to apany Mango to return home. Since Rita was already back home,
why hadn''t Zione to see her?
Zion felt distressed at Rita''s forlorn expression.
"I''m not busy, how about Ie to visit you after a while?"
"You''d better keep your word! Mommy''s in a bad mood and grandma told me that her face was
irritated by her makeup. But, I remembered that mommy doesn''t have sensitive skin."
Rita told Zion about everything that was going on.
Then, Zion narrowed his eyes slightly.
"She had an allergic reaction to the cosmetics? Is it serious?"
"Well, her face was very red and it looks pretty bad."
"I see. I''ll be over there in a bit, so be good okay? Don''t make Mommy angry."
After all, Zion was the eldest son and brother, so he was rtively more sensible than Rita.
On the other side of the phone, Rita smiled happily as she heard that Zion wasing to visit her.
"Okay. Brother Zion, I''d like to have some apples."
"Nope, your body hasn''t recovered yet so you can''t have them. After you''re healed, I''ll buy you
apples every single day."
"I''m going to hold you to that. If you go back on your word, then you''ll be turned into a toad, as a
punishment to you!"
Rita took the opportunity to secure her apples.
Meanwhile, Zion couldn''t help butugh.
"All right, I''ll turn into a toad if I don''t fulfill my promise to you."
"Brother Zion is the best brother in the entire world!"
Rita had always been a sweet talker, and Zion found himself sumbing to her charm as well.
Then, Zion and Rita talked for a while longer before he hung up the video call.
He wanted to see Rita as promised, but what excuse was he going to give Nathaniel?
Zion returned to the ward in deep thought before he overheard Nathaniel''s instructions for him.
"After Zion gets back, he mustn''t step out of this room. More importantly, he can''t go to Central
Hospital."
"Why?"
Merle''s voice rang out.
Then, Nathaniel sighed and said, "Mango had an allergic reaction, so I''m afraid that he''ll be
distressed if he sees his mom like this. Honestly, I reckon that he''d be even more worried than me.
Furthermore, Mango has been quite exhausted recently so I fear that she wouldn''t be able to keep
up with his antics."
At this, Zion narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wasn''t a disaster, so why did Nathaniel think he would cause trouble for Mango?
Zionined silently as he walked into the ward.
"I want to go home."
Nathaniel was rather stunned at Zion''s words.
"You want to go home?"
"Yep, I haven''t changed out of these dirty clothes at all. Plus, it''s way too noisy to sleep here, so I''d
rather sleep at home. Since you''re all right now, it should be enough if Merle apanied you,
right?"
In fact, Zion''s requests were reasonable. Moreover, the dark eye circles he had fromck of rest
greatly distressed Nathaniel.
"Well, then Uncle Merle will send you home."
Now that Nanny Zhang had been captured, Thomas had been working hard to purge her agents
from the Ye Family. Although the process was slow, Merle had assigned a lot of his own men to
guard the Ye''s Mansion so Nathaniel wasn''t too worried about letting Zion go home.
Then, Zion waved his hand and replied, "I''ll just take the bus home myself."
"You''re just a four-year-old kid!"
Nathaniel meant that Zion was too young to take public transport alone, but Zion wrinkled his nose
and said, "A four- year- old saved both you and mommy."
Hence, Nathaniel was rendered speechless at that and he red at Zion before he said, "It''s either
you let Merle send you home, or you''ll have to stay here."
"Ugh fine, you win."
Zion did not argue further with his father and he turned to Merle and said, "Uncle Merle, let''s go."
Then, Merle looked at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel nodded in reply.
He would still be able to manage on his own. If not, there were always nurses to assist him.
After Merle left the hospital with Zion, Nathaniel shook his head as his body was still quite weak.
Soon, he was fast asleep on his bed.
After Zion got into the car, he became unusually quiet like a very obedient child.
Then, Merle looked at him strangely and asked, "Why are you suddenly so quiet?"
"I''ve always been a quiet and charming man."
After that, Zion''s words made Merleugh.
"Of course you are."
s, Zion was not in the mood to be teased by Merle.
He turned to look outside at the scenery outside the car window, but his mind was filled with
Mango''s incident.
Why did she have an allergic reaction?
Why did she use makeup in the hospital?
In the end, Zion was rather confused by all this.
The car soon arrived at the Ye''s Mansion.
Zion jumped down from the car as soon as Merle brought the car to aplete stop and he waved
at Merle as he said, "Bye, Uncle Merle."
Meanwhile, Merle gave the guards at the door a knowing look when he noticed that Zion didn''t want
him to follow him inside.
Then, the guards immediately stepped forward. "Oh, Young Master Zion, you''ve returned? Let us
take you inside."
Nevertheless, Zion didn''t react when Merle asked the guard to look after him and he nonchntly
walked inside the mansion.
Merle was relieved after he saw Zion enter the house, but he was rather unnerved by how quiet
Zion was on the ride home.
The guard quickly returned to his post after Zion stepped inside the mansion. Then, the servants in
the house greeted him hurriedly but Zion only replied faintly. Then, he informed them that he wanted
to rest and that he didn''t want to be disturbed before he walked inside his room.
The quiet and obedient look that Zion had on his face disappeared after he returned to his room and
he hurriedly rushed to the window.
There were bodyguards stationed everywhere outside.
Clearly, Merle had made additional arrangements since Zion was home and the number of
bodyguards seemed to have increased.
At this, Zion frowned slightly.
Did they really want to trap him at home?
How could that even be possible?
Next, Zion raised the corners of his mouth slightly and a sly smile shed across his face.
He quickly picked up a drone and he attached a string of firecrackers to it. He figured that the sun
would be hot enough to light the firecrackers, so he turned on the switch of the drone, which flew
out the window soon after.
Theputer disyed the flight path of the drone.
Then, Zion found an empty space nearby and he lit the firecrackers.
From afar, they really sounded like gunshots.
Instantly, the bodyguards started to be anxious.
"What was that?"
"Let''s check it out!"
One of the bodyguards said to both of the men that were beside him.
"You stay here, well go together."
After that, both of them ran towards the sound quickly.
Meanwhile, Zion watched them leave before he shifted his gaze to the lone bodyguard with a frown
on his face.
Ah, how troublesome!
Then, he found a tranquilizer dart and he used a blowgun to fire it at the bodyguard.
With a loud thud, the bodyguard''srge frame crashed to the ground.
"Bingo!"
Then, Zion jumped up happily and he quickly let down a rope out of the window before he climbed
down.
This was one of the many skills he had learned from Nick while Zion was with him.
That small tranquilizer dart could knock out an elephant, so Zion was sure that the bodyguard was
out cold.
After Zionnded on the ground, he quickly made his way to the mountain sculpture at the edge of
the garden.
He remembered that Uncle Nick had told him that there was a secret escape route hidden under it.
This was the secret of the Ye Family.
Then, Zion entered the sculpture amidst the chaos and he followed the path that Nick had told him
about. Sure enough, Zion quickly exited the mansion and ended up in the back alley.
The streets were crowded with people, and Zion immediately hailed a cab.
Meanwhile, the cab driver nced uneasily at Zion as he was a child and said worriedly, "Where
are you going, kid? Where are your parents?"
"My Mommy is waiting at the gates of Central Hospital, so someone will pay for my fare once you
get there."
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Obviously, the driver had some concerns as he realized that Zion didn''t seem to be an ordinary
child, but he still drove towards Central Hospital since he would get paid.
Then, Zion quickly contacted Charlotte and asked her to pick him up at the entrance of the Central
Hospital.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was surprised when she received Zion''s call, but she still drove there to pick
him up.
After that, Zion and Charlotte arrived at the destination at around the same time.
Since Charlotte was exhausted over the past few days due to the heavy workload at her new job,
she didn''t look too pleased. If it wasn''t Zion who contacted her, she wouldn''t have sacrificed her
precious sleep at all.
When Zion saw her from a distance, he opened the window and called out in a sweet voice,
"Mommy!"
This was the first time that Charlotte had ever heard Zion call her that, so she was quite perplexed.
Meanwhile, the driver thought that Charlotte was there to see the doctor when she saw her pale
complexion. Furthermore, he was quite relieved when he heard Zion call Charlotte his mother.
Then, the cab stopped in front of Charlotte.
"Madam, it will be 15 dors in total."
The cab driver presented her with the cab fare.
Zion smiled at Charlotte very sweetly, but she narrowed her eyes at him.
Charlotte didn''t say anything in front of the cab driver and she took out some money to pay Zion''s
fare. Then, she twisted his ear immediately after the cab left as she asked aggressively, "What
trouble have you gotten yourself into this time? You actually called me your mother! What sort of
tricks do you have up your sleeves?"
"Oh, it hurts! Auntie Blu, be gentle with me!"
Zion grimaced in pain, but he could only bear it as he needed her help.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was cursing up a storm in her mind.
"Why did this little brat willingly let her twist his ear? What nefarious n did he have this time?"
