Chapter 2056: Chapter 2270

“This is your final warning,” Nathan stated firmly.

“I understand.

”

She gripped the collar of Kyson’s suit jacket, using it to dab at her tears and runny nose.

Kyson was unperturbed by this, his heart aching for her, and he said to Nathan, “Destinee’s eyes are red from crying.

I’ll take her out to soothe her and maybe go to the children’s playground for a bit.

”

Nathan gave a nod of approval.

Though he had been quite stern, once he calmed down, he realized he couldn’t bring himself to actually spank Destinee.

If he hurt her, ultimately, he would be the one left feeling distressed and heartbroken.

Moreover, Destinee was known to be a tattletale.

Kyson quickly exited the ward with Destinee in his arms.

As the door shut behind them, Colby, who was propped up in bed receiving an IV drip, suddenly said, “Daddy, it seems like Destinee likes Kyson more.

”

Nathan was left speechless.

He turned and gazed at Colby, who was observing everything with keen interest.

Colby continued, “Is that man your old rival in love, Daddy? Is that why you get so angry when Destinee calls him ‘Daddy’?”

Nathan exhaled deeply, reached out his large hand, and gently patted his son’s head.

“You’re still young.

These are adult matters.

You should just focus on yourself.

”

Colby arched his eyebrows, mirroring Nathan’s expression.

In a moment of frustration, Colby said, “No matter how many drips I get or medicines I take, I can’t get better.

I don’t want to suffer anymore.

”

Nathan’s heart sank.

He tenderly stroked Colby’s pale face and reassured him, “You will get better, Colby.

You’re just not well right now.

There’s a treatment in the lab.

When you’re older and can handle the drug’s strong side effects, Aldric will help you recover.

”

Colby didn’t respond to this reassurance and shifted the conversation back to Kyson.

“Daddy, you’re very powerful.

You could influence the entire country.

Why don’t you just kill that man? You even let him visit Destinee every day and act as her godfather.

”

Nathan was taken aback and stared into his son’s deep eyes, which mirrored his own.

“You’re only five years old, Colby.

Do you understand what ‘kill’ means? Why would you think of such a thing?”

Colby blinked and offered a faint smile.

“To kill him would be to make him disappear from the world forever, right? I don’t want to see him anymore, so I want him to disappear.

”

Nathan felt a chill run down his spine.

How could his son be so calculating and ruthless at just five years old?

Was he overthinking, or was Colby more mature than he had assumed?

He calmed down and spoke earnestly to Colby.

“One shouldn’t take lives casually.

No matter how powerful Daddy is, I must abide by the law.

Moreover, Kyson isn’t just Destinee’s godfather; he’s yours too.

Kyson made some mistakes and didn’t foresee their consequences.

However, he has genuinely tried to assist both your mother and me.

I can see that he truly cares for Destinee and he wants to bond with you and show you affection as well.

Could you consider giving him a chance, Colby?”

After a brief pause, Colby tightened his pale lips and replied, “I know Daddy and Mommy have reconciled with him, but I don’t like him, and I actually hate him.

He’s the reason I have to stay in the lab for treatments, which prevents me from going to kindergarten and playing on the trampoline like other children.

Even if Daddy and Mommy aren’t upset with him, I will punish him.

”
