Cynthia wanted to ask more, but given Seanâs cument state, she lmnew she would not get anything
else.
She decided to end the call
In the next two days, she took good care of Joshua, who was well-behaved.
A few days from New Yearâs Eve dinner, Felix, who had previously said he would come to the capital,
arrived.
âDo you want to go to the airport with me to pick up your father or wait for me at home?â Cynthia asked
him, letting him make the decision
Joshua replied promptly. âIâll go with you.â
He did not want his father of his to come.
However, given the current circumstances, he could not stop it. It was better to go with Cynthia, so his
father would have no opportunity to say anything bad about him.
After Cynthia agreed, she took him to the airport.
In the car, Joshua seemed somewhat ill at ease. âCynthia, is my dad a very serious person?â
âNot at all, heâs a nice person, and he loves you very much,â Cynthia answered truthfully.
Yeah right.
That was Joshuaâs first reaction
Judging from the previous phone call, it was clear to Joshua that his father was not an easy man to
deal with. âIs he coming to take me home? I donât want to go home. I want to stay with you,â Joshua
asked again, his eyes pure and clear.
Cynthia paused. By now, Joshuaâs m ental age had reached seventeen. If she introduced him to his
family members and recounted some past events, his exceptional acting skills would surely dispel any
doubts. Perhaps, he really could return home for the New Yearâs Eve dinner.
âCynthia,â Joshua called out to her again.
âHeâs coming to see you,â Cynthia replied, deciding to discuss it with Felix later.
Upon reaching the airport, Cynthia instructed the driver to park at the side, and before long, Felix
emerged from the terminal. Cynthia stepped out to greet him. Once the driver had helped Felix stow
away his luggage, they all boarded the car again. Joshua sat next to Felix while Cynthia sat in the front
passenger seat.
âIs there no greeting for me? Since when did you become so impolite?â Felix asked, observing
Joshuaâs aloof demeanor and reluctance to speak
Joshua remained silent. As expected, he did not like this man.
âStill no greeting?â Felix probed again.
Cynthia turned to look at him, and seeing this, Joshua reluctantly said, âDad.â
âGood boy,â Felix replied, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Joshuaâs mind was in a whirl. The man was inscrutable. Should a father not be stern and serious
toward his son? Why was he being affectionate and saying âgood boyâ?
âUncle Felix, Iâve booked a restaurant for us. I will brief you about Joshuaâs condition when we are
having dinner,â Cynthia
said.
Felix agreed. âAlright.â
For the rest of the journey, Felix carried on an intermittent conversation with Joshua. Regardless of
Joshuaâs memory loss, Felixâs attitude toward him had not changed.
