Charles opened the door and saw Nico and Benedict staring each other down with their arms crossed. It looked as though the two just had a fight as well.

Charles felt a little better when he saw that Nico wasn’t having it any easier. With a calm look on his face, he carried Zendaya into the ward and asked, “What’s going on here? What’s with this tension in the air? Also, why are you two still awake at this hour?”

Both Nico and Benedict turned around and shot Charles a hostile glare.

“Shut up! You’re still awake, too!” they snapped at him in unison.

Nico then shifted his gaze back toward Benedict and remained silent while trying to suppress his anger.

Benedict let out a defiant snort and exclaimed, “What are you, Uncle Nico, and Daddy doing? Why leave me and Zendy at the laboratory? Is it because Daddy and Mommy want to spend some time together? Is that why they’re leaving us behind?”

Nico was on the verge of fainting from anger at that point.

F*ck! Why won’t Benny just listen to reason?

As he glared at Benedict, who was curled up in his blanket on the bed, he found himself at a loss for words.

After the two had been arguing all night, Nico realized that Benedict’s statements were far more logical and persuasive than his.

Zendaya struggled in Charles’ arms and motioned at him to put her down on Benedict’s bed.

Charles understood what she wanted and helped get her shoes off before gently putting her down on the bed.

Zendaya then threw herself at Benedict and wailed, “I had a bad dream earlier, Benny! I dreamt that Mommy got injured and didn’t want us anymore!”

Benedict’s face grew pale as he listened to the details of her nightmare.

Feeling uncomfortable due to his sickness, he pressed his hand firmly against his chest as he replied, “I had the same dream when I slept for half an hour earlier…”

Nico and Charles exchanged surprised glances when they heard that.

They say children are connected to their mother by blood. I-Is that theory actually true? Could something terrible have happened to Gwendolyn?
