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

Wu Tu looked bewildered. Although he didn't understand the meaning behind Cyrus's actions, he subconsciously said:

"Brother, this can't be used anymore; there's a risk of infection."

Cyrus said calmly, "I'm just keeping it as a collection."

"These are also traces of your growth. I will keep everything about you."

Wu Tu: ! His brother is really different from ordinary people!

But since it was the first time the little guy had encountered something like this, he didn't know how to persuade Cyrus, so he could only watch helplessly as Cyrus wrapped the two needles in a handkerchief and put them away.

Just then, Winston, not seeing the black rabbit, began searching for him everywhere.

If the little guy is out of Winston's sight for more than ten minutes, Winston will start checking where the little guy is now.

So now, Winston has caught the Cyrus siblings red-handed for their misdeeds.

Lilith, seeing Winston appear behind them, felt as if she had seen some lingering male ghost, and couldn't help but shout:

"Why did you come into my room without knocking? Dad, that's not gentlemanly behavior!"

Lilith and Cyrus are the only two siblings who call Winston "father".

But that doesn't mean they had a good relationship with Winston.

Clearly, the atmosphere was tense after they met.

Winston frowned and asked:

"What are you doing with the little one?"

The little guy instinctively covered his earlobes.

However, his attempt to bury his head in the sand only made Winston realize something was wrong even faster.

Winston looked down and saw the little guy's eyelashes were wet with pain. He also saw the little guy's pursed lips, as if afraid of being caught...

He immediately realized that someone had tricked this little fool into doing something silly...

"Lilith, Cyrus, I won't allow you to see the little one for the next few days."

Lilith couldn't help but exclaim, "It's just an ear piercing!"

Winston picked up the little one.

He didn't want the crow to hear their conversation, so he told the steward to take the crow away first.

Then he turned to look at Cyrus and Lilith.

Lilith was still complaining:

"We won't hurt him, we just want to decorate him a bit. He's so cute, like a delicious cake..."

Winston said calmly:

"But I don't want him to hurt himself anymore."

"You know the little guy has depression, but did you know he has a pain fetish?"

"The psychological problems he developed in childhood were ignored for a long time and even repeatedly harmed, which led to his self-harming behavior."

"I don't want him to find relief or pleasure by harming his own body; I don't want him to develop a pain fetish..."

Lilith shut her mouth.

She wanted to say no, that the little one would stay with them and wouldn't hurt himself anymore.

But when she saw Winston's eyes, she realized that Winston's worries were not fake.

Perhaps Winston was overly anxious, but prevention is always better than seeing the little guy in such a terrible state again.

"I'm sorry..." Lilith said softly, "I just wanted to make him look better..."

Winston glanced at Lilith and let her go.

But Winston wasn't so gentle with Cyrus.

Because Winston saw the ambition in Cyrus's eyes.

After all, Cyrus and he were so similar, not only in appearance, but also in genes and even their preferences.

Winston's obsession turned into overprotection of the little guy, in order to confirm his control over the black rabbit.

So Cyrus no longer wanted to pretend and just wanted Ulva to see his true self.

Winston knew this so clearly because he also had dark corners in his heart.

Throughout the entire family, their genes and bloodlines are identical.

They have always been trained to have a cold-blooded and insane side.

Because he knew the monster's true nature, Winston would never allow Cyrus to actually do anything wrong.

Winston lit a cigarette and said coldly, "You've crossed the line."

Cyrus lowered his head, like a sub-adult male lion who has just learned to bare his fangs bowing his head to an older lion.

He had no choice but to submit and admit his mistake.

Winston said, "There's a tough deal coming up in Italy lately, a real pain to crack. It was originally going to be Richard's responsibility, but since you're so free, you can handle it."

"You should leave tonight. Don't let the little guy know when you leave, and don't make him cry."

Cyrus's voice was deep:

"Understood, Master."

Cyrus bowed to Winston and walked away heavily.

Although Winston didn't say anything harsh to Lilith, she couldn't stand the atmosphere, so she left that very night, saying she was going to the Arctic to see the aurora borealis.

In fact, even before Wu Tu appeared, their family was already in a state of frequent separation.

No one would intentionally require them to have family meals together.

They each have their own things to do, and their sense of family is weak. Sometimes they won't see each other for several months or even half a year.

Only after the appearance of the black rabbit did they begin to tacitly protect it and never leave its side.

Even if he works during the day, the little guy will wait until everyone is home at night, say goodnight to everyone, and then he will finally go to sleep peacefully.

This was the only time Winston broke this unspoken rule for the sake of the owl, kicking Cyrus out of the house.

The little guy immediately sensed something was wrong at the dinner table the next morning.

He put down the milk, looked up, counted the family members, and, confirming that Lilith and Cyrus were not there, immediately asked the butler:

"Grandpa, where are Cyrus and Lilith?"

The butler glanced at Winston's expression before speaking gently:

"Young Master Cyrus has gone to Italy to handle a batch of difficult business. He will probably be back in about half a month."

"As for Miss Lilith, she went to the Arctic."

After hearing this, Wu Tu did not show any disappointment, nor did she sadly question Winston.

He obediently finished his milk and breakfast, like a precocious and understanding child.

However, after breakfast, the little guy who went to do basic training didn't laugh and joke with Kailan as usual, and his mood remained low.

Kailan sensed something was wrong and immediately wanted to report the anomaly in their group chat.

But as soon as he picked up his phone, the little guy came over.

"Kailan, did you know Cyrus was leaving last night?"

Kaylan still didn't understand what the little guy meant:

"I know."

Because the little guy's tone showed no anger whatsoever, and didn't even sound like he was questioning her, Kaylan relaxed and even blurted out:

"If it weren't for what happened yesterday, Cyrus wouldn't have..."

In a moment of carelessness, Kaylan almost revealed the reason why Cyrus left.

The little guy was taken aback: "What happened yesterday?"
