Because of this, Jack was left inside the country. Lately this affair was very scandalous everywhere and it was not known if Jack had known about it.
Zain could only hope that Jack had not known.
So, like his uncle, when Jack was playing with him, Zain would want to lie to him by saying that his parents were going to spend the honeymoon after the wedding and could only return after a while.
After conceiving this idea, Zain thought it was not realizable.
Because Zain was not at all sure if Kennedy would come back.
It was fine if he would come back, but if not, how did Zain explain this lie to Jack? When Jack learned the truth, sadness would be inevitable.
Looking at the innocent Jack standing in front of him, Zain made up his mind.
It would be better for Zain to tell him the truth, which would save Jack’s sadness when he learned the truth in the future. If Kennedy came back alive, it would also be a surprise.
Thinking about this, Zain squatted down before Jack, touched his head and said sweetly, -Jack, I want to tell you something.
With his head bowed, Jack asked, “What?
-Come with me to the studio. I’m going to tell you everything.

Turned off, Alice was sitting on the bed looking at the sunlight outside the window.
-Alice, Jack is crying, saying you have to video call him. Won’t you listen to him? -sitting on the edge of the bed, Yanis asked Alice looking at her with her cell phone in her hand.
Hearing his words, Alice froze. Then, she turned around and ignored Yanis.
Alice pursed her pale lips and looked a little disappointed.
She had promised Jack that she was going to find a father for him, but now she lost her father. Before his father came back, she was ashamed to talk to him.
Alice feared that, upon seeing him, she was going to cry before she spoke.
And Yanis said to her, -Alice, don’t be so cruel. Jack is very sad and thinks he has found his father. Now if you don’t listen to him, he will die from crying.
As Yanis spoke, his eye sockets turned red, -Alice, I beg you. Talk to him. A few words are enough. Today during the video call, Jack was crying very hard. It’s the first time I’ve seen him cry like that. And you know that he didn’t cry before.
Listening to his words, with trembling lips, Alice began to let herself be convinced. How could she stand Jack’s crying?
But what would she tell him if she saw him now?
Would she tell him that his father had an accident and would hurt him again?
Alice shook her head and said, -No, leave it till later. I’m really not in a good mood now.
-Alice! -Yanis was not resigned and continued to call her by her name.
Yanis’ words annoyed her and Alice said directly in a cold tone, -Get out of here. I want to be alone for a while.
Yanis did not move, but calmed down. Alice believed that he already obeyed her words.
However, after a minute or so, a child’s cry appeared in the quiet hospital room.
-Mommy! Mommy!
The familiar voice startled Alice and she looked unbelievably towards the source of the sound.
Sure enough, she saw Jack picking up the cell phone on the video call, in which he was crying very loudly and calling Alice.
These tears and crying pricked her heart like a sharp knife. Alice looked at Jack with wide eyes and suddenly turned away with tears about to well up.
-Mom, take a look at me, will you? Mom, I want to talk to you.
-Turn off the video call,” Alice heard herself order Yanis in a quiet voice.
Yanis didn’t hear her and was still holding the camera towards her, as if he was determined to fight her.
-Wake up, Alice! The one on the screen is not the others, but your biological son. Don’t you suffer when you treat him like that? He just wants to talk to you!
-Take him away. Now is the last time I’m telling you,” although Alice’s voice became calmer, her anger was noticeable.
Yanis got angry and said to Jack directly, -Jack, did you hear that? Your bad mommy doesn’t want to talk to you now. Even though I want to help you, I cannot. Okay, don’t cry anymore. You cry in vain if no one comforts you. Listen to me, dry your tears and do your homework, okay?
Jack shook his head with effort with red eyes and said, -No, I want to talk to my mom.
Even though he was very smart, now seeing that his mom wouldn’t listen to him, Jack felt very bad as if he had been abandoned.
Because of that, Jack kept crying, which made Alice sad and upset. And Alice reproached him, “Why are you crying? I don’t cry, and why are you crying?
Alice’s voice was very serious. She glanced at Jack as if Jack had done something wrong.
Jack was surprised by her reproach. Then crying, he pursed his mouth and said fondly, -I miss you. Mom, can I come to your place?
-No,” Alice turned him down mercilessly, “If you’ll listen to me, stay home. I’ll be back after I find your daddy.
Jack cried loudly, “You’re lying to me. Uncle told me he’d had an accident and probably wouldn’t come back.
What Jack said excited Alice. She looked at him unbelievably at Jack on the video call with wide eyes.
-Who promised you to tell you nonsense? Don’t you listen to what I’m saying? Your dad just disappeared and he’ll be back!
Jack replied, “Well, I’ll go with you to wait for him. Before, you never left me and always did things together with me. This time we’re together too, okay?
His voice was full of pleading, which could not be denied by anyone who saw it. But Alice was distressed. She even hated herself, how could she let her son see her like this?
Thinking of this, Alice said in a cold voice, -I cannot. I am alone now and this is enough. You don’t have to come here, do you understand?
Jack pursed his mouth and said, -But I want to come with you, Mom. Will you let me? I’m going to be obedient and I’m not going to make you angry. Do you agree?
Jack began to be capricious. He begged Alice again and again, which was heartbreaking.
There, with the cell phone in his hand, Yanis wanted to cry and said to Alice, -Let him. It’s not someone else but your child after the ten-month pregnancy.
