Chapter 1256


    Nathaniel was a little nervous as well.


    At this moment, Wisdom quickly took out a small bottle from his bag and ced a drop of liquid on


    his hand. Then he immediately wiped it on his temple. In an instant, a cool feeling swept through his


    body, so he came to himself instantly.


    He carefully poured the ashes of the incense into a bottle again before he started to fiddle with it.


    Nathaniel did not disturb Wisdom, and Rita held her breath as well.


    After some time, Wisdom finally raised his head as he said to Nathaniel and Rita, who were outside,


    "Daddy, it''s fine now. Come in."


    After he said that, he sprayed some liquid on the ancestral temple, and the smell of incense faded a


    lot.


    After Nathaniel watched he did all of these, he walked in with Rita in his arms.


    "How is it?"


    "The incense is the problem. There''s some hallucinogen in it, which will induce hallucination in


    humans. The climate here is very special. It''s damp all year round. Once the incense is ignited, it


    will produce chemical reactions with the humidity in the air. So people will think that their


    hallucinations are real. In addition, this is the ancestral temple, which means that the windows and


    doors are generally closed all the time. Therefore, its effect will be stronger here."


    At this moment, Wisdom seemed to have transformed into an entirely different person. He was


    somewhat different from his silent appearance before. When he talked about medicine, he was


    eloquent and dazzling.


    Nathaniel seemed to have seen a young Nick in him.


    At that time, Nick wasn''t as ordinary as they had said he was.


    Nathaniel still remembered that he had attended Nick''s reading and speechpetition. At that


    moment, Nick seemed to be the same age as Wisdom. He stood on the stage and faced more than


    three hundred audiences below. He was neither humble nor nervous. The look in his eyes was


    exactly the same as Wisdom''s right now.


    That was right.


    Nick was outstanding when he was just a child. He was just as excellent as Nathaniel.


    Since when did Nick start to be ordinary?


    Nathaniel couldn''t recall at all.


    He only remembered that he stood out more and more because he was contrasted by Nick, so I


    valued him increasingly. Meanwhile, Nick seemed to have be unnoticeable gradually as no


    one paid attention to him anymore.


    Nathaniel''s thoughts drifted far away.


    He still remembered the way he yed with Nathaniel when he was still a child.


    They were carefree back then. Nathaniel even fought with others for his sake. However, since when


    did the rtionship between them change?


    Nick was very respectful to him. The feeling of being close to each other that they had once shared


    was gone forever.


    Nathaniel felt sad all of a sudden.


    Wisdom was still talking but Nathaniel couldn''t hear a thing from him. He seemed to have seen Nick


    in Wisdom''s shadows.


    Nick was smiling at him. As he smiled and smiled, tears streamed out of his eyes.


    He said, "Nathaniel, why do we have topete with each other to find out who is better? Why


    can''t we y with each other like other siblings? Nathaniel, do you still remember our happy days


    back then?"


    As he sobbed, his tears turned into a river of red.


    It was the same color as blood.


    He said in a shrill voice, "Nathaniel, I want to go home. I miss you. But why did you chase me away


    from Ocean City... Why didn''t you let me stay? Did you think that I should leave as well? Did you


    also think that I''m a threat to you if I stay?"


    "Nathaniel, I have never wanted topete with you during these years. I just want to stay by your


    side. We are brothers who share the same mother. Even if I have to hide my wisdom away and


    contrasted your brilliance, I don''t mind. I just want to be with you. Nathaniel, why can''t you grant


    such a simple wish of mine? Why did you send me away like mother?"


    "If I hadn''t left Ocean City, I wouldn''t have died. I wouldn''t have to be an undercover agent. I''m still


    the second son of the Ye family. Even if I''m a little bit of a yboy or a little useless, at least I''m still


    by your side. I wouldn''t have died alone here like I am now. Brother, do you know how I feel about


    you for so many years?"


    "I love you, but I hate you at the same time. I hate you for sending me away at all costs. I hate you


    for not keeping Macy with you, so I''ve run into her here. If I didn''t meet her, perhaps I wouldn''t have


    fallen in love with her. Then I wouldn''t have hated you that much. She had never loved me, so I was


    just your substitute. Do you know this? Nathaniel!


    Since young, I''ve been living under your shadow. I''m not stupid and I can be a genius myself but


    mom said that the Ye family only needed one leader. I know your ambition and goals, so I gave up.


    I''d rather beidback and foppish. As long as I can help you, I''ll be satisfied if you achieve what you


    want. I only have a simple wish, which is to be with you. But Nathaniel, you still sent me away in the


    end. If it wasn''t for you, I might not have died. Nathaniel, it was you who killed me! It''s you!"


    "No, it''s not me!"


    Nathaniel suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He spat out a mouthful of blood apanied by the


    sound of "poof". His whole body teetered and almost fell.


    "Dad!"


    Rita was frightened.


    She had never seen Nathaniel acting like this.


    Her small figure held Nathaniel''s hand tightly, but he seemed to be stuck in a nightmare as he


    couldn''t hear her voice at all.


    "No, no. Nick, I don''t want the Ye family. I don''t want to be the head of the family. I simply think that I


    should shoulder the family''s responsibilities since I''m the elder brother so that you can lead a


    carefree life that you want. I never wanted to suppress you, let alone chase you away. However, if


    you didn''t leave back then, you would be locked up in jail. How could I let my own brother go to jail?


    Nick, don''t hate me, please? You can''t hate me! You are my brother! We are brothers who grew up


    together! How can I not love you? How can I kill you? It''s not me! It isn''t!"


    Nathaniel wailed maniacally as tears fell from the corner of his eyes.


    Rita was totally dumbfounded.

    Wisdom was stunned as well.


    He had heard his biological father''s name.


    He was very familiar with Nick''s name, but he had never met this person, because he had no such


    opportunity.


    His father had passed away soon after he was born.


    He felt an excruciating pain in his heart.


    He was ufortable when he saw Nathaniel sobbing and yelling as if he was repenting and


    exining himself at the same time.


    He didn''t want to get involved in the grudge of his elderlies, nor did he want to figure it out.


    However, at this moment, his heart hurt a lot. There was even a sense of grievance and anger rising


    within.


    He simply looked straight at Nathaniel with an ambiguous look in his eyes.


    In the end, Rita did not manage to hold Nathaniel upright because of herck of physical strength.


    Both of them fell to the ground together.


    Rita''s nose reddened due to the intense pain.


    She didn''t know what happened to her father. Where did her mother go?


    How could this possibly happen?


    His father was always strong and powerful, wasn''t he?


    Why did he seem like a helpless child now?


    Rita patted Nathaniel''s arm as she was scared. Then she whispered, "Daddy, wake up, please


    wake up. Uncle isn''t here. Daddy, wake up quickly. Think about mommy, think about me, think about


    Wisdom."


    As she spoke of Wisdom, she suddenly remembered that thetter was also here.


    So she turned abruptly to look at him.


    "Brother Wisdom, what happened to daddy? Wisdom... you..."


    Rita''s eyes widened swiftly.


    At this moment, Wisdom was indifferent. Even his eyes were shining with resentment.


    Resentment?


    Did Wisdom hate her father?


    When this thought came to Rita''s mind, she was shocked all of a sudden. Then she quickly shielded


    Nathaniel behind her.


    "Wisdom, what are you doing? Daddy may be enthralled and stuck in his hallucination now. Hey,


    please think of a way!"


    "Huh? Why should I think of a way? Didn''t you hear him? He suppressed my dad and chased my


    dad away. That was why my dad died in foreignnds. He is repenting his sins! Rita, didn''t you hear


    his words of repentance?"


    Wisdom''s eyes turned red all of a sudden, and droplets of tears fell to the ground.


    "At first, I can have a perfect family, too. It will be a family whichprises of a father and a mother


    who loves me. We can lead a happy and blissful life, but everything went bad because of him. He


    ruined my father''s future and killed my mother. That''s why I became an orphan. He even pretended


    to be a good man and raised me in the Ye family. He treated me nicely. However, the way I see it, I


    still have to depend on others for a living, isn''t it? He ruined my family. He is the culprit!"


    Wisdom was agitaed all of a sudden.


    Rita waspletely dumbfounded.


    What on earth was going on?


    Why did Wisdom say that?


    Had Wisdom been so unhappy at home these days?


    "Wisdom, this isn''t it. No. What''s wrong with you? Hey!"


    Rita got up from the ground abruptly. She ran towards Wisdom and grabbed his arm while shaking it


    violently.


    "Daddy and mommy care about you very much. Can''t you feel it? Back then, mommy was poisoned


    and became mute because of you. She was driven out of the Ye family. But she still took you with


    her for fear that you would be persecuted. Have you forgotten? How can you say this now? If


    mommy were here, how sad would she be when she heard you? Wisdom, this isn''t you. This isn''t


    the real you! Wake up, okay? Wisdom, we are family, and you are my brother! How can you neglect


    me at this time? Wake up, wake up now!"


    Rita''s tears, which was as the size of a bead, dripped onto the back of Wisdom''s hand.


    Wisdom was taken aback for a moment.


    He looked coldly at Rita, who was crying before him, but the sadness and pain within him were


    suffocating.


    Why was it so unbearable?


    Why was Rita crying?


    Wisdom wanted to wipe her tears away, but his unconsciousness seemed to be scolding him.


    "Wisdom, are you nuts? She is the daughter of the man who killed your father. How can you feel


    sorry for her?"


    This voice was so fierce and so overwhelming that he was a little stunned.


    Rita cried until her tears run dry. She ran over and poured everything out of Wisdom''s bag. When


    she saw a bottle of chili water, she paused suddenly before she picked it up quickly. Then she


    headed back towards Wisdom at once.


    "Wisdom, I want you to be back! Come back, please!"


    Rita cried before she poured the chili water in her hand towards him.


    "Ouch!"


    The spicy sensation stimted Wisdom''s senses. He fell on his butt on the ground because of the


    strong sensation as tears streamed continuously from his eyes.


    "Rita, what the heck are you doing?"


    Wisdom screamed in a shrill voice, but Ritaughed all of a sudden.
