[The Present]

"Is he asleep?" As soon as Toy Zhang arrives, he asks Jack Fang about how Cole Wu is doing.

"...Yes, he is sleeping now. He has been going to bed early recently and doesn't suffer from insomnia frequently as before."

Jack Fang walks over to Toy Zhang and takes his coat away from his hands. After hanging the coat, he turns back and says.

"Thank you." Toy Zhang pats Jack Fang on his shoulder and presses it exerting his strength.

Jack Fang is stunned. "……"

"What's wrong?" Toy Zhang feels Jack Fang's dullness and asks with his eyebrows frown.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

After calming himself down, Jack Fang licks his lips and introduces an alternate topic deliberately. He asks, "Mr. Zhang, how's the young master?"

On mentioning his brother, Toy Zhang suddenly becomes deflated and worried.

"He is still in a coma." He signs. He leans against the sofa with his tie loosened, looking dispirited.

"Master Zhang has decided to send him abroad, right? When is he leaving?" Jack Fang pours a glass of water for Toy Zhang and puts it in front of him.

Toy Zhang picks up the glass and takes a sip of water to moisten his throat, saying, "Three days later."

"Why the rush?"

"He is more likely to wake up only if he gets treated as soon as possible. We have no other choice. We can't just let Tye lie on the bed unconsciously for the rest of his life!" Toy Zhang has been having heavy headaches recently. He rubs his forehead. His mind is in such a mess as well.

"Let me help you." On seeing what Toy Zhang is doing, Jack Fang sits next to him and helps him press his head with just enough strength.

"You are always taking good care of me. Without you, I've been having an uncomfortable life recently." Toy Zhang closes his eyes. With Jack Fang's massage, he gradually gets relaxed.

His aching head, under Jack Fang's fingers, has become more and more relaxed.

"...Really?" Jack Fang feels warm. He smiles contentedly.

Toy Zhang happens to open his eyes while Jack Fang is smiling. This is the first time that he has seen Jack Fang smile so happily without any tension or nervousness.

"You look so much better smiling like this."

Jack Fang gets stunned. He gradually puts down his fingers, then he moves his butt as well. He is now sitting far away from Toy Zhang.

"I don't have a good-looking face. I'm black and ugly." Jack Fang turns his back to Toy Zhang. He has become...a little nervous.

Because of the causal words of Toy Zhang, he even starts to have the vain hope that he shouldn't have.

Looking at Jack Fang's tall and straight body, chilling temperament that belongs specially to soldiers and twisted sitting position from behind, Toy Zhang actually finds him...adorable.

"Ahem." He coughs. He rubs his temples and stands up, saying, "It's late. Go get some rest."

"...Okay." Jack Fang feels that Toy Zhang looks different tonight.

He treats him differently tonight.

At the same time,

Cole Wu is sitting on the bed lonely with his hands clenching the quilt.

There's emptiness, grievances and complexity in his eyes.

Is Tye Zhang going abroad for treatment?

Is his condition really this severe?

What did they mean by "can't wake up"?

Has he become a vegetable now?

Can he be cured?

……

There're too many questions haunting him in his mind. He is at sea and doesn't know what to do.

He should hate Tye Zhang and wish him die immediately!

But...why? Why is he so nervous? Why does he feel so upset? Why does he want to visit Tye Zhang and see what he looks like now?

How can he do this!

He can't wrong his dead child!

Tye Zhang is his enemy. He is also his child's enemy!

He deserves it...He deserves to die!

He'd better not wake up! He should be lying on the bed for the rest of his life like a waster! This is for the best...

His shivering hands touch his face, which is full of tears.

He must be missing his children.

It must be so!

This has nothing to do with that person! This has nothing to do with him!

Toy said that his child will be sent back to him a month later. He will be cared and loved by him...There's only one month left.

He can see his child soon!

Three days later, Tye Zhang is being sent abroad for treatment.

Everyone in the Zhang's is here.

Jack Fang is here as well. He has driven Toy Zhang here.

Cole Wu is at home alone. Toy Zhang and Jack Fang didn't tell him about the truth. They just said that they were out for business.

At least, they think so.

"Toy, your father and I are going abroad to keep your brother company. We are leaving the company to you. Take care of it." Vasari Li has been shedding tears for the past few months. The swelling in her red eyes has never gone down.

Toy Zhang hugs his mother and says, "Don't worry, mom. I'll take care of everything. Just go keep Tye company...I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

After thinking it over, Ekin Zhang says seriously, "Take good care of Cole! I'll tell his parents about what happened."

"Don't! Dad!" Toy Zhang says immediately, "Cole wants no more people to know about what happened to him. Including his parents and his brother Chaz. I have to respect him and keep his secret. Given his mental condition at the moment, he can withstand no more blow. I'm afraid that his parents and his brother may do something to stimulate him after knowing this."

"...I see! I'll let you handle this. Toy, I appreciate what you have to while your mother and I are away!" Ekin Zhang feels exhausted as well. So many things have happened in such a short period of time, making him have more gray hairs.

"Everything will be fine as long as your brother can be cured."

……

While Tye Zhang and his parents are boarding, there's a person peeking at them.

He is hiding from a distance, so he can't see them clearly.

He only sees Tye Zhang, who is sitting in a wheelchair and covered by a baggy coat.

He has obviously lost weight. There's even no flesh on his face.

He looks tender being in a coma.

No more domineering, and no more capricious.

Without destructibility and offensive power, he is motionless as if he was a toy without engine.

When Toy Zhang and Jack Fang come back, Cole Wu is sitting in the living room. He is wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts. The wounds on his body have largely healed. There're only traces of severe wounds, which look startling even seeing them now.

"Why are you off bed?" Toy Zhang asks.

Cole Wu looks up at him. "I want to move around a little bit." he says, beaming.

"Are you bored?"

"Yes, I'm bored."

Toy Zhang signs. He says to Jack Fang, "Go find a wheelchair. Push Cole outside to the yard in the future. The air is fresher outside and the sunshine is brighter by the side of the pool and in the garden. Take him for a walk more frequently."

"Ok. Mr. Zhang." Jack Fang replies.

It's late at night. Cole Wu sits on the bed alone and watches the moon outside and window.

He says lightly with a depressing voice, "...Goodbye."
