Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInside the room, Zachary waited until Sophia left. His cold gaze then turned warm as he looked at Benjamin's swollen eyes.
"Why did you cry so much? Didn't | tell you I'd be back soon?" Zachary's voice was firm, but his hand movements were gentle as he gently rubbed Benjamin's swollen eyes.
Benjamin pouted and replied dejectedly, "Daddy, I... | don't like it here. | want to go back to Mommy Corinne...
lec” Before the child could say anything further, Zachary placed a finger to his lips and urged him to be quiet. They needed to be cautious about discussing 'Mommy Corinne" here.

But it won't be long until our family is reunited." Benjamin looked at him with surprise and whispered back, "Is that true, Dad? Can we live with Mommy Corinne, Joey, and Christine, too?" Zachary nodded with certainty. "Yes. We'll never be separated again after that." Benjamin felt reassured and hopeful after believing his father. He wiped his eyes and said, "I'll listen to you and wait until we can see Mommy next." He avoided mentioning the n'Corinne' since his father had just warned him not to bring it up there.
Zachary patted Benjamin's head and said, "Could you helpclose the curtains? I'm a little tired, and I'd like to rest for a while." "Okay," Benjamin replied and rushed toward the floor-to-ceiling window. However, he slipped because he ran too fast and ended up falling forward. There was a glass electrical stand just before him, and he would be seriously injured if he were to knock his head on the sharp edge.
Benjamin was already certain that he was going to hurt, but someone picked him up swiftly by the waist and lifted him into the air. Benjamin was relieved that he had been saved, but following his initial shock, he soon realized that there were only himself and Zachary inside the room. He wondered who could have caught him so swiftly like that, and he turned around to see that it was none other than Zachary! "Daddy?" Benjamin looked at him in surprise and gazed down at his father's legs to make sure that everything was real.
Zachary stood up! Benjamin was about to get excited when Zachary placed a finger over his mouth to keep him quiet. He whispered in a solemn tone, "Shh! We must keep this a secret from them." Benjamin understood that 'them’ referred to Sophia and Adam, so he nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
Zachary then bent down and placed Benjamin securely on the ground before returning to the wheelchair.
Zachary had yet to fully process the fact that he could stand. Back when Corinne was flirting with him at the hospital, he discovered all of a sudden that his legs had unexpectedly gained sstrength. He could not pinpoint the reason for his being able to move them, but it might have been due to the doctor's medication counteracting the effects of the medication Sophia had been giving him for years. Though he was able to stand, his legs needed stto regain their strength after such a lengthy period of inactivity.
