Book:The Ice Prince Published:2024-5-1

Garry helped his mother sit down on the soft sofa in the living room. Her mother is getting better after her last operation. Finally she was willing to undergo surgery to remove her uterus and gradually recovered. Leah–her wife,  make a ginger tea for ger mother in law.”They didn’t force us, sir. They just asked for our willingness, begged us to help in this case with a fair decision based on real evidence. You have doubted the outcome of this process because they used their family doctor and indeed it will be bias, because the possibility of engineering becomes greater. However, we are on your side and it is impossible for us to cheat you, “explained doctor Keith at length.
“How do I know that you are not on their side?” snapped Gray angrily. “You could have been conniving from the start.”
“We will bring the process to you, sir. We will do the testing in front of you, so you know that no cheating can be done. After we are done, it is up to you to believe or deny the results. Joaqin is ready to accept the risk of losing Mr. Flynt if the results in the end of this test will reveal that he is your flesh and blood. They are even ready to be brought to court if proven to have faked the previous test results. I think its fair enough for both of you. This is the best way we can do, despite this war toward Mister Flynt.”
“I refuse. You guys have planned this all,” said Gray loudly.
“Don’t say that you refuse because you are afraid that the result will not be what you wanted?” Flynt smiled sarcastically. “Deep down you already know that the outcome will be the same as the previous one, that I am not Theo.”
“No!” growled Gray with a face full of anger. “You are my Theo. Your mother knew you since you are her son. My son. Our son.”
“Then, do it. We don’t even pay these doctors a penny. They come voluntarily because they are concerned about your situation. They are private doctors who have taken care of your family for a long time, right? Like the Moreno and Intochar families who have been loyal to Joaqin from a long time ago, they were also loyal to your family. Can’t you trust those of your own choice? ” said Flynt softly.
“We handled Theo from birth until he died, as well as Mrs. Sovi. We have the honor to hold our loyalty to you, sir,” said doctor Fano firmly. “If you persist in not trusting us, then this very second we will come back and resign as your doctor.”
Gray looked at the three men in front of him and sighed heavily. He knew that no one would be on his side if he persisted. Gray nodded with closed lips at last. “All right. Let’s do it.”
The fantastic four frees the Gray men they defeated and asks them to help prepare all the necessary equipment. They also freed Flower, who then stood faithfully with Gray. Dean squeezed Flynt’s hand as they sat waiting for the preparation process to finish.
“Don’t worry, Babe. Whoever’s son I am in the end, Joaqin or not, I will always be your Flynt,” said Flynt while kissing Dean’s cheek who looked gloomy. “I am always love you, no matter what. It’s always me, your Flynt.”
“Don’t call me Babe again if you’re Theo, the bastard! You’ll soon sleep with Flower if you’re Theo and I’m against the idea of ​​staying with you while you don’t mind sleeping with Flower, even for hereditary reasons,” hissed Dean coldly. He glanced angrily at Flynt.
“Baby, you know it’s not true. It’s just a trick to distract Gray. Even if it turns out I’m a Theo, I will immediately get rid of Flower and still choose you.”
“We’ll talk about this again later,” said Dean with cold demeanor. “Now shut up and get ready. The doctors are ready.”
The three Gray’s family doctors asked permission to take Flynt and Gray’s blood samples, witnessed by many people from both sides, including the Joaqin twins, Flower, and lawyers from both parties who had been brought in together with the previous doctors. The doctors also took hair and saliva samples, because they would do the same three tests with three different samples. The three doctors will do it with their respective methods and compare the final results with the test results conducted by doctor Moreno and doctor Intochar when Forth was only two months old.
Lamar, Park, and Mike, make a recording of that process. They need evidence.
A tense atmosphere filled the air around the people gathered in the large and spacious hall of the red cyclone hotel penthouse. Uncle Brezier and Naomy also arrive, making Dean jump in surprise. Grant explains who Uncle Brazier and Naomy are to the Joaqin family to Dean, who just finds out that his Uncle Brazier, who he thought was only the owner of a cafe and an ordinary martial arts training ground, actually has an important position in the Joaqin kingdom.
Gray and Flower did not move or distract from the movements of the doctors who carried out their work with full concentration in a glass room filled with modern equipment. It took them nearly three hours to work. Everyone is tensed and restless.
It was nearing midnight when the doctors finally came out of the testing room. They had paper in their hands. They showed the folded paper to everyone and immediately handed it over to Gray, witnessed by everyone in the room. Everyone could see Gray’s hands were trembling when they received all the papers.
Unexpectedly, Flynt stood up and approached Gray. He bent down in front of Gray’s wheelchair and held his hands gently, calming his shaking. Gray’s eyes were originally cold, a little watery when he stared at his hand in Flynt’s.
“Calm down, Uncle. Whatever the result we have both seen that the process is clear and fair. There are no tricks and no cheating. One more thing, if the results state that I am not Theo, then if you allow, I will be willing to be your friend. I will respect you as an uncle. That is my wish, according to the request of my father and mother too.”
Everyone could see how Gray’s eyes had softened and he stopped shaking. Flower cried and squeezed Gray’s shoulder gently, to give him support. Gray opened the three papers in his hand at the same time and read them carefully. For a moment he just stared at the papers with an unreadable gaze, then his tears began to flow non-stop, and without needing to hear directly, everyone knew what was written on them. No doubt.
The twins approached Flynt and Gray. Together with Flynt, they embraced Gray with emotion.
Will touched Gray’s hand softly. “Let’s end this, Uncle, while we can still respect each other. After all, Uncle was once part of Joaqin and my parents are never feel happy about losing a family friend like Uncle and Aunt Sovi. This enmity is tiring all of us, Uncle. Lets end this here and befriended again. Our parents send you a regard.”
Gray looked at Flynt and the twins with tears continuing to flow. “I’ve lost and lost everything now. My wife, my son, my dignity.”
Flower hugged Gray from behind and buried her face on Gray’s shoulder while crying. “Don’t say that, Daddy. You have me, and many people are loyal to you.”
Flynt held Gray’s hand. “I will keep my promise, respect you as a real uncle, as long as you want come to meet my parents and we can live in peace together. My grandmother is sick before and one of her wishes is to see you again. She respect you as her son, too.”
Gray wiped his tears and smiled. He patted Flynt’s arm lightly. “Let’s go. It’s past midnight and as far as I can remember, your father never sleeps before 1. I hope he’s still awake at this point. I need to properly apologize to you guys.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle. He’s waiting for you,” Grant said with a big smile.
Along with that, everyone in the room started clapping, some with teary eyes.
Dean starring at Flynt with a wide smiled. “I know you are my Flint, not Theo or Teddy or Luke or whatever name they thought. You are mine.”
“Always,” said Flynt, kissing Dean’s tip of nose.

Trent, Joaqin’s eldest son, walked in with a faint smile on his lips. He immediately went to his mother and hugged the woman he loved. He turned to his grandmother dan kissed her cheeks “You looks fresh and glowing, my beautiful Grandma.”
Shanee Joaqin, the grandmother smiled widely and kissed Trent. “You, naughty boy, always tease me like a kid.”
Leah laughed and kissed Torn on the cheek. “You’re supposed to seduce a woman your age, not an old woman like your grandma and me. So, where are your siblings? Your father said they were coming tonight. Flynt too.”
“Don’t wait” said Garry, handing Leah a cup of warm drink he made. “You know the boys, busy with their business. Finish your drink and then go to sleep. I’ll wake you up when they come.”
“Let me take Mom to the room, Pa,” said Torn.
“Yeah. I will take my Mom, too,” said Garry. “Go with your son, Baby. I will come to our room later.”
Trent waited for Leah to finish her drink then led Leah into the room after Garry kissed her lips and forehead softly. Trent smiled at the intimacy of his parents, which had never changed since he was little.
“Trent, is everything all right?” asked Leah. She took Torn’s hand after lying comfortably on the bed. “How about Flynt? I heard he’s close to someone. Do you know? The kid is too closed and quiet.”
“Everything’s fine, Mom, don’t worry. Mom has a strong and great sons. Flynt has a boyfriend and he looks serious. Grant also seems to like someone. They might take them to a Will and Faya wedding next month.”
“Boyfriend?”
Trent nodded and smiled. “Mom knows, no one, I mean a woman, who will be able to face Flynt with all his stiff and cold traits. I heard this boy is so tough, that he can beat Flynt and make him to his knees.”
“That’s because he had to grow up alone since childhood. Flynt always makes me feel guilty. Your grandmother and grandfather really love and pamper him, but still it’s different to live with them compared to us.”
“It’s okay, Flynr understands why we do that. All for his safety and he also grows very well, regardless of his  nature.”
“I hope his lover has a wide heart and loves him with all his heart. I don’t want him to be lonely anymore.”
“I’ll make sure of that, Mom, don’t worry. Go to sleep. I’ll take care of you.”
Trent waited until her mother fell asleep then returned to the living room. Garry was reading a thick book when Trent sat across from him. Garry looked up from his reading and stared at his eldest don. “How are they doing?”
“They’re waiting, Pa. Gray finally agreed, after arguing. He had no other choice, right.”
“Whatever the result, hopefully he can accept it this time. I feel sorry for him, the best years of his life are gone because of his obsession with Flynt. He’s a good and loyal person, unfortunately took a wrong step. His wife broke his heart.”
“I hope so too. The twins make sure Flynt and his lover are safe, as well as all of his troops. They are loyal and alert.”
“What about Jeno? Is he still in America?” asked Garry. “He’s been there a long time.”
“He will be back in two weeks. There is a document that needs more detailed approval, regarding the transfer of the name of the company owner, Grandpa and Grandma, to Flynt.”
“Jeno is very competent, I’m sure he can handle everything well. You miss him, right? You have been separated for a long time because of this business. Your face has always looked sluggish lately.” Garry patted Trent gently on the shoulder. “After your grandfather’s company business is done, as well as Will’s wedding, try to discuss your relationship with Jeno more seriously. You can get married too, right.”
Trent looked at his father with sanction. “Are you sure, Pa? What if our marriage has a bad effect on the name Joaqin? I’m afraid, Pa.”
“Don’t ever feel that way, son!” Garry shook his head. Joaqin will remain intact even though many try to bring us down. For me, the happiness of my children and grandchildren is the foremost, whatever your choice. That is what we have been taught from generation to generation and all that makes us even stronger. Do not hesitate to achieve your dreams and happiness, although it’s different from other people. Your life is yours. Get married. We can do it in Holland or Canada. Your uncle married in Holland too. ”
Trent nodded happily. He has prepared a ring to propose to Jeno, his boyfriend who is also a legal assistant at her father’s company, but isn’t sure when to give it. Jeno also never said or asked him anything, which made Trent even more afraid of losing him.
“Maybe we can also marry Flynt to the little doctor as well. I don’t want to let the doctor change his mind and break up with Flynt. It will be difficult to find someone who can tie and control Flynt like he did.”
“You know about him, Pa?” asked Trent in surprise.
Garry laughed out loud. “Don’t underestimate me, young man. Even though I am old and spend more time relaxing at home lately, I have not missed a single thing about my family. I even know that recently Mike started to succeed in conquering Intochar’s angry and grumpy son. My family is everything. You should think and act like that too, Trent, because you’re our first. ”
“Of course, Pa,” replied Trent in awe. Trent’s cell phone rang. He saw the name of his younger brother, Grant, on the screen. He spoke quickly to Grant, then turned to Garry. “They will come, Pa. Gray too.”
Garry grinned. “Then you better start ordering dinner for everyone. Make sure everyone gets there. They’ve been fighting since morning, they must be all tired. We must welcome our family well.”
Trent nodded and began phoning his men to prepare for their upcoming family.
