Uncle?
A flicker of irritation crossed Geoffrey’s eyes. “Back to China.”
He saw nothing wrong with telling this to a three–year–old.
Ethan blinked, his long lashes fluttering over sleepy eyes.
“Uncle, you should take me back quick. Otherwise Daddy will be mad.”
“Daddy?”
Geoffrey studied Ethan’s pale face, his voice dropping low. “Who’s your daddy?”
A sly gleam flashed in Ethan’s eyes.
“Uncle, my daddy’s the most powerful man around here. Didn’t you know?
His name’s Gareth.”
Geoffrey’s face instantly darkened as soot.
Ethan chattered on, still provoking Geoffrey: “Mister, did you kidnap me for money?
I’m telling you, my daddy’s got more cash than he knows what to do

with.”
“I’m his precious little darling. You grabbed the right one.”
Geoffrey:
“Your daddy’s so rich and powerful, how come he couldn’t even protect you? Let you get snatched by me?”
Ethan choked up.
He never expected his deadbeat dad to be this sharp with comebacks.
Guess the guy wasn’t completely useless after all.
He didn’t answer. Instead, he suddenly clutched his tummy, brows furrowing tight.
Geoffrey noticed something was off: “What’s wrong?”
“Tummy hurts.”
Ethan’s voice came out weak and thready.
Luckily, Geoffrey had brought his private doctor along when he came.
He had the doctor hop into their car right away to check Ethan.
But after examining him, the doctor found nothing wrong.
“Mr. Sutton, I’ve thoroughly checked the young master’s abdomen. Everything seems fine.”
Ethan kept clutching his belly while rolling around on the bed.

“It hurts so bad… I’m dying… Waaah…”
Doctor: “…”
Geoffrey stared at Ethan’s ghostly pale face–no way this was an act.
“Could it be the car’s lacking medical equipment? That why you can’t find anything?”
“Could be possible too.”
The doctor answered cautiously.
Geoffrey’s eyes were icy cold.
“Didn’t you say everything was fine earlier?
Why change your tune when I ask?”
The doctor froze, tongue–tied. Though the car’s AC blasted cold air, sweat beaded on his forehead.
Ethan jumped in to rescue him.
“Uncle, don’t blame this doctor! My tummy hurts a lot.”
“Daddy always presses his warm face against my tummy, and it stops hurting.”
“Uncle, wanna try pressing your face here too?”
Geoffrey stared blankly,
Warm face on belly? What kind of quack remedy is this?

Disgust flashed in his eyes.
Ethan’s tears welled up. “Uncle… you’d let me die in pain?”
Geoffrey shot the doctor a look. “Fetch warm water.”
“Yes, sir!”
The doctor scrambled to fill a bottle with hot water, offering it to soothe Ethan’s stomach.
Ethan shoved it away.
“Daddy uses his face! What’s that thing? Get it away! No!”
“Waaah… I’m hurting so bad! Daddy… what’ll I do without you…”
Piercing wails flooded the luxury car.
Grudgingly, Geoffrey pressed his palm flat against the boy’s stomach.
“Happy now?”
Ethan persisted: “Wuwuwu, my daddy always uses his face.”
Geoffrey impatiently: “Cry again, and I’ll throw you out of the car right now to die.”
Ethan: “…”
Beast!

This terrible father has no patience at all.
On one hand, Ethan feared he’d really throw him out; on the other, his body was too weak for more.
Soon, he fell asleep again.
But asleep, he stayed restless, his brow furrowing now and then, very uncomfortable.
Geoffrey sat beside him, and up close, he looked a bit like Maureen.
But Maureen’s so quiet, how did she have such a crying, troublesome
son?
Geoffrey thought this, but showed no dislike, his hand on his belly never moving.
Half–asleep, Ethan opened his eyes to find himself on a private jet.
He looked at the warm hand still on his belly, confused, silently asking:
“Do you really not love us?”
Geoffrey was lying on his side next to Ethan.
Ethan thought he seemed asleep.
So he secretly reached for his smartwatch, planning to contact Uncle Jacob after landing.
But when he touched his wrist, it was bare.

Then he noticed his clothes had all been changed.
Originally, Ethan’s watch had a tracker, but now that was gone too.
Ethan sighed.
Beside him, Geoffrey opened his eyes: “Still hurting?”
Ethan hadn’t expected to wake him so easily.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you, Uncle Geoffrey.”
Uncle!
Uncle!
The term left a sour taste in Geoffrey’s mouth.
He studied the boy intently: “What’s your name?”
Ethan answered without hesitation.
“Ethan.”
Ethan…
With the Cold surname…
Geoffrey’s expression darkened further.
Ethan knew this scumbag dad had kidnapped him because he’d uncovered clues about him and Mommy,
But he was sure the scumbag hadn’t pieced everything together yet.

Otherwise, why ask his name?
Uncle Jacob had buried all identity records for him, Jacob, and Mommy deep underground.
When Geoffrey stayed silent, Ethan added innocently: “Uncle
Geoffrey, isn’t my name beautiful? My daddy chose it.”
