Chapter 540<\/p>\n
Before Mateo could finish speaking, Hank had already approached the side of their car.<\/p>\n
Their car\u2019s security system was extremely good, comparable to Morris\u2019s car, and perhaps even safer than his. All the windows, including the windshield, were covered with frosted film that completely obscured the view inside.<\/p>\n
As a result, when Hank walked up to the car, he couldn\u2019t see who was inside no matter how long he looked.<\/p>\n
Just as Hank was about to knock on the door, it made a \u201cclick\u201d sound. Hearing the door open, Hank took a couple of steps back.<\/p>\n
The next second, Arthur got out of the car.<\/p>\n
Seeing who it was, Hank was stunned. His eyes, hidden behind thick glasses, flickered with disbelief and surprise, but these emotions quickly disappeared.<\/p>\n
He thought he could hide his reactions from Arthur, but Arthur was a man of power, having seen countless people in all sorts of situations. He wouldn\u2019t miss the subtle movements of a 14\u2013year\u2013old boy.<\/p>\n
Arthur smiled at him pleasantly and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Do you recognize me? I saw disbelief and astonishment on your face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank paused for a moment after hearing this, then spoke, \u201cAh, you must be Mr. Jarrett, right? What are you doing here? I never dreamed I\u2019d see you at the entrance of our little orphanage. Are you, by any chance, visiting in disguise?\u201d<\/p>\n
After saying this, he shook his head. \u201cNo way, that can\u2019t be it. Or can it? Are you visiting in disguise?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur chuckled, standing quietly opposite him and listening to his words.<\/p>\n
Only after Hank had finished speaking did Arthur reply, \u201cIt\u2019s rare. You\u2019re only 14, yet you remain so calm upon seeing me. Most people would have been intimidated and run away. You have a bright future ahead of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, I\u2019ve investigated you secretly. You\u2019re a student under Ms. Leach and the champion of the Traditional vs. Modern Medicine Competition hosted by the Global Medical Association just the other day. I wonder who you take after- your mother or your father?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Hank hesitated and said, \u201cI\u2019m just myself. After all, I\u2019m just an orphan from the orphanage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank tried to recall everything that had happened today and yesterday. As his thoughts lingered on the last time he parted ways with Cherise, he realized what happened.<\/p>\n
He had calculated everything, but he hadn\u2019t anticipated anything involving Cherise. He thought, \u201cThat hand, the one that had patted his shoulder. If it was Ms. Leach, she would have seen through everything. However, there must have been a reason for what Ms. Leach did.\u2018<\/p>\n
After taking a breath, Hank looked at Arthur again. \u201cDo you know something?\u201d<\/p>\n
He had never blamed the man in front of him because he was also a victim, completely unaware of the situation. If it weren\u2019t for his appearance in Betrico, in front of Cherise, Arthur might never have known of his existence.<\/p>\n
Arthur, who always acted decisively and honestly, did not hide anything from Hank. He nodded. \u201cYes, I know about the relationship between you and me. You are my son, and I am your father.\u201d<\/p>\n
But now, he was different. The boy standing in front of them had rosy lips, white teeth, and sharp, elegant eyebrows. He looked more mature, like a handsome high school student straight out of a comic book. He resembled Arthur, with both elegance and handsomeness.<\/p>\n
He paused for a moment, wanting to say something but hesitating.<\/p>\n
Hank understood his dilemma and spoke up, \u201cYou want to ask about my mom, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur nodded. \u201cYes, to be honest, I don\u2019t know who your mother is. It\u2019s not that I\u2019m irresponsible; I\u2019ve never really had any women in my life. So my memory is vague.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank understood. He put his hands in his pockets and sighed, \u201cMy mom is in Astamia. She probably can\u2019t come to Fresburg right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Astamia, Arthur frowned slightly, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank shook his head, not seeming very eager to elaborate.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Hank didn\u2019t want to talk about it, and feeling satisfied with what had happened today, Arthur didn\u2019t push him further.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, son, do you want to come with me\u2026\u201d Arthur asked.<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, Hank said, \u201cI want to stay at the orphanage for now. Once all the younger kids there have found new families, I\u2019ll come find you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-563","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
