The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

Unfortunately, Kailan's plan to sneak in and take photos fell through.

However, he was still not giving up:

"Aiden, aren't you going to make the baby public eventually? Or is there some problem with the child's birth mother?"

Winston shook his head. The moment he confirmed the identity of the black rabbit, he had already asked someone to investigate the little guy's family background.

By now, Winston has basically figured out the little guy's true origins.

Wu Tu's real biological mother is actually the younger sister of his current mother.

The reason Winston hadn't told Ulva was...

His birth mother has passed away.

Ultimately, as time passed, Winston's memory of that woman faded considerably. Had he not unexpectedly encountered Ulva at the hospital, he probably would have forgotten what she looked like...

After all, their meeting was just an accident. Even if they were once moved, due to various regrets, it didn't develop further and was slowly buried by time.

He only remembered that the woman was gentle and beautiful, like the Virgin Mary statue in a church, showing mercy to the world.

Both the black cat and she possessed that wonderful quality.

At the time, their meeting was brief, and Winston was in the midst of a family power struggle and had no energy to deal with matters of the heart.

The woman seemed very busy, and she appeared to be in a state of panic, as if she had just escaped from an environment.

She had finally escaped her birth family and her exploitative relatives, and had just arrived abroad, where she was trying to find a way to establish herself.

That night meant nothing to her; surviving and developing her career in a foreign land was the most important thing.

So this is a pity.

When Winston finally had some free time and wanted to check on the woman's situation, he discovered that she had vanished without a trace.

He assumed this was a sign that the woman didn't want to continue developing the relationship, so he gave up investigating.

Who knew that more than a decade later, Winston would gain a treasure that would become the most precious thing in his life because of this?

For him, Wu Tu held a place in his heart that surpassed anyone else's, and during their time together, she became his number one priority.

After all, Winston never really got to know the woman deeply, nor did he ever have a real relationship with her.

If Winston has any feelings for her now, there's only one.

He was very grateful to the woman for persevering and giving birth to Wutu.

When he learned of the woman's death, his first thought was that the little one would be heartbroken.

Therefore, Winston never formally mentioned this matter to Ulva.

After listening, Kailan quietly said, "I see."

When he first saw the little guy, he thought that Wutu had a healthy and happy family and a healthy body.

He thought that Winston's initial deliberate concealment of the Black Tortoise's identity was simply to protect the Black Tortoise.

Who would have thought that such a lovable child would be treated so badly by fate, causing him to wander for so many years?

Without the care of his biological parents, the little guy was taken home by his aunt and suffered for ten long years.

When it was in its mother's arms, the little black rabbit didn't remember anything.

When he grew a little older, he already had a younger brother with his current "mother" and wasn't treated well. He could only hope day after day that his mother would look at him more.

I hope that one day my mother will love me a little more.

But after waiting for more than a decade, Wu Tu found that his mother, who truly loved him, was long gone.

If the little guy knew the truth, I wonder how devastated he would be.

"Then we should give him even more love."

Kailan said very seriously:

"I believe other people will also love the little guy."

"We are family, connected by blood."

Actually, that's not all.

Kaylan has a kind of intuition.

He felt that the little guy's personality was a perfect counter to everyone in the Winston family, from uncles and aunts in their fifties to teenagers. If he wanted, all the Winstons would be defeated by the little guy.

After all, the Winston family's genes lack gentleness and kindness.

In order to cultivate a highly intelligent successor, they naturally sacrificed a lot, including the more emotional part of their genes.

Even geniuses with high IQs or outstanding skills often have deficiencies in daily communication and life.

They simply learned, through long periods of education, to conceal the part of themselves that had not been socialized.

But in reality, that kind of indifferent gene cannot be erased.

Therefore, the naturally born black tusks are simply the most extraordinary of the extraordinary among them.

He could already picture those arrogant guys surrounding the little black rabbit as if it were a rare animal.

And they will definitely praise the little guy for being cute.

Just thinking about it made Kailan feel proud.

He was as proud as if the child were his own.

Unfortunately, his father, Winston, stood in his way.

Winston shook his head:

"...He's so fragile. I always have this feeling that he could disappear at any moment, that he could die in my arms at any moment..."

"I dare not let him take any risks, not even the slightest chance."

I know you made that promise and have been keeping it:

You yourselves have chosen the next generation of successors, and everyone else has tacitly withdrawn from the power struggle. But this balance is fragile; if it is ever broken, we will also stand on the opposite side.

Winston's blue eyes shattered the facade they had maintained.

"I am also part of the family. My genes flow through your veins, so of course I know how cold-hearted you are. When necessary, we will not be family."

Rather, they are life-or-death rivals.

"So I won't let the little guy be in that situation... unless there's absolutely no threat..."

Winston's voice was calm and rational. His tone was so quiet that if Ulva were awake, he would surely be frightened by what Winston said.

Anyone capable of experiencing normal emotions would feel a profound sense of terror upon hearing what he said.

He was like a monster without emotions.

This is the truth beneath Winston's facade.

But now, this monster is ridiculously talking about feelings with others.

Extreme, unique, and also emotion.

All the genuine warmth and joy Winston felt came from the vulnerable child beside him.

The black worm formed his beating heart.

Kaylan understood the king's warning.

He lowered his head and said to Winston:

"Yes, I understand, patriarch."

He silently left the room, and only then did Kalan realize that he was sweating profusely.
