Chapter 2151
Jay frowned as he asked, "14 years?"
He glanced at Gale. The boy looked to be about 15 years old this year and in 14 more years, he would be a 30-year-old mature man.
These 14 years were supposed to be Gale's prime years and the time for a man to have a budding romance.
Jay asked suspiciously, "Why 14 years?"
Gale said with a smile, "I'm waiting for someone's return."
Jay looked at the young man in front of him. Even though his smile was bright, for some odd reason, it gave out a sense of unpredictability and maturity.
Jay looked at Baby Zetty and asked, "How about her?"
Gale smiled and shook his head.
Jay stared at Gale, seemingly still in disbelief. Seeing the firmness in his eyes, Jay said, "Keep in mind whatever you've said to me today." Jay walked away after saying these words.
Gale's clear eyes looked at Jay's straight and stalwart back. His eyes seemed to have darkened, and there was a slight ripple as well.
Jay and the others had been hiding in the cave for a few days, so they were not aware of the changes happening in the outside world.
Jenson and Baby Robbie were leading two teams into Sacred Land. At the fork in the road, they decided to part ways so they could find Daddy more quickly.
Baby Robbie and the military intelligence division's beautiful sisters were quickly attacked by the bad guys. However, after several years of moral education and training, the children from the military intelligence division had become extremely selfdisciplined. Before using their fists to solve something, they had learned to use their mouths first.
However, since the other party was violent and particularly unreasonable, the sisters turned their heads to look at Baby Robbie and asked in unison, "Can we hit them now, Robbie?"
Baby Robbie hesitated and was slightly regretful when he said, "Crap! I should've asked Jenson earlier. In such a situation, should I focus on diplomacy or use violence?"
At this time, the other party was rudely mocking the sisters, "These girls sure are pretty. I haven't touched a woman in a long time."
The sisters flushed and raised their fists in anger.
"Can we hit them now, Robbie?!" they asked in a huff.
Baby Robbie pointed at the men and cursed, "If you
want to touch a woman, you'll have to first see if you can control them. Go ahead, Sisters!"
"Haha! I don't think we'll need so many men for these tender-looking girls. How about this? I'll go up against them alone." A wretched man stood forth.
His lustful eyes continued to stare at Roxie's graceful body. He rubbed his hands together as if he was itching to get his hands on her.
Roxie jumped forward in anger and angrily yelled," Sisters, I'll make sure to beat the crap out of this man."
The man smiled and said, "Just let me, the master, cop a feel first." He pounced after saying these words.
Roxie's movements flashed quickly, and the man pounced into an empty space. When he turned his head, Roxie had kicked his *ss with her foot.
The man flew forward, bumped into a tree trunk, and screamed in pain.
"You guys sure know your stuff," said the other men as they rushed forward.
The other sisters were not people to be trifled with as well. They were merely taking appropriate measures according to the situation.
As for Baby Robbie, he was chewing on a stalk of dry grass in his mouth as he lay down on a tree with low branches. With his arms resting on his head, he calmly watched the group fight.
At this moment, the supposedly delicate sisters seemed to have reverted back to when they were doing the military intelligence division's missions. This unfettered and unruly feeling actually made their blood boil in enthusiasm and with thrill.
Baby Robbie felt that their moral education in the past few years might not have changed the sisters' innate fierce and dominating characters.
Seeing those men who had either broken their hands or their ribs, Baby Robbie could not bear to look at the scene anymore. He incessantly reminded them, "My dearest sisters, don't be too heavy with your punches. Be a little more gentle, okay? If you're this violent, how will any man have the guts to like you?"
Chapter 2152
Chapter 2152
The sisters shot a glance that was as sharp as knives toward Baby Robbie and ridiculed, "We wouldn't want to marry these freaking men anyway."
The sisters unwillingness to get married was a harmful mindset taught by the military intelligence division's ideology. However, Baby Robbie had assumed that their deep-rooted thoughts would change after leaving the military intelligence division.
Upon hearing the sisters' stubborn thoughts, Baby Robbie was so startled that he almost fell down from the tree branch. "If you guys aren't getting married, who do I collect your sky-high dowry from?" After the sisters dealt with the bad guys who were attacking them, they swarmed toward Baby Robbie. Fury emerged on all of their beautiful faces as they snarled. "Are you itching to get a spanking, Baby Robbie?"
Baby Robbie sat up from the tree branch and shot forward. His agile body moved like an arrow shot from its bow as he quickly left the scene.
The men who were lying on the ground with broken limbs were speechlessly looking at these children. Were they just going to leave them on the ground like this?
Baby Robbie was playful, but he would never leave behind unfinished business. After running one whole round, Baby Robbie suddenly turned back around and stood in front of the wretched man with his hands crossed on his chest. He interrogated, "Tell us. Why were you trying to harm us?"
The man snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
Baby Robbie was speechless. He merely looked at his sisters and said, "I think I'm repelling him. Since the opposite attracts, you ladies should interrogate him instead."
Hearing this, the man turned his head and looked at the beautiful girls. There was zero repentance in his head.
Sis Three came over and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was about to start hitting him, Baby Robbie reminded her, "Sis Three, you're a delicate, precious girl. Don't get your hands dirty hitting someone like him."
Sis Three placed her hands down and raised her feet instead, aiming for the man's hand...
The man's hand subconsciously retracted into his sleeve.
Who would have expected Sis Three to mischievously move her foot to the man's private part instead? The man's face immediately turned pale as he tremblingly said, "What are you planning on doing?" Sis Three said, "Castration."
The man regretted everything he had done before and wept out bitter tears while saying, "I merely thought that you were a bunch of girls from a noble family but I never expected all of you to be so utterly vulgar. Are you gangsters?!"
Sis Three said, "We're not gangsters, but we can be. I'll give you three seconds to think about it. Are you going to tell us about your true motive for trying to kill us?"
The man hesitated a little.
Sis Three instantly stomped her feet down.
"Ack!!!" The man wretchedly cried out.
Sis Three said, "I'll give you three more seconds. Are you going to spit it out? Or do I have to trample on your b*lls too?"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything."
Sis Three ultimately went lenient on him. "Don't lie to me. If you do, I'll cut your tongue out and feed it to the dogs."
The man knew how formidable this little lady was, so he no longer dared to lie. He confessed honestly, "I didn't want to hurt any of you either. I just wanted to catch you after hearing that Imperial Capital accent of yours. I want the reward."
"Reward?" Baby Robbie frowned and asked, "Why are you people trying to catch people from Imperial
Capital?"
"It's all because of that Sir Ares. I don't know how, but he's managed to offend our master. So in order to catch him, our master has given us the order to kill everyone in sight and not let even one slip through our fingers. We have to get our hands on Sir Ares, so all the tourists who come here from Imperial Capital nowadays will be regarded as a thorn in the eye for those of us of the Boyes' bloodline."
"All of you are of the Boyes' bloodline?" Baby Robbie was slightly startled.
However, an intelligent man like him quickly analyzed the reason for this.
When Grandma Boye was alive, she had hidden all over the place in order to escape from getting chased by others. It seemed like the Boye family was torn apart because of this, so the other branches had perhaps grown hostile toward Grandma Boye.
Hence, Grandma Boye's descendants were naturally outcasts.
Chapter 2153
Chapter 2153
"Although the Boye families come from the same ancestor, all of the family branches are now as incompatible as fire and water after fighting for the family's properties. Especially so when the Boyes of the mair branch inherited the secret medical skills. They've become the thorn in the eye for the other branches of the family. In order to force the main branch to surrender the secret skills, all of the branches started cooperating to deal with the main branch. However, the other branches are not particularly compatible with each other," said the man honestly.
Baby Robbie felt like he had heard some sort of fantasy story. "So the Boye families would rather launch a full on hunt in order to fight for the family's properties? This sort of self-centered behavior of not acknowledging one's family makes all of you no better than animals."
The man said, "These are our grandparents' matters. U s youngsters barely know of the grudges between the elders, but we know that our ancestors were severely biased toward the main branch and this made the other branches utterly disappointed as well as disheartened."
Baby Robbie pouted and said, "It's still not an excuse
for them to kill one another."
After Baby Robbie interrogated the man for a long time and rambled coherently, he ultimately remembered the matter he was here for. He asked, "Oh, I have to ask, where's Sir Ares now?"
The man said, "They were carrying patients while getting chased after our people. Since it's been raining continuously these days, they're hiding in the cave inside the old forest deep in the mountains and refusing to come out."
Baby Robbie glanced toward the lush and dense forest in front of him. He was extremely delighted at the thought of seeing Daddy real soon.
He beckoned and said to the other sisters, "Let's go now."
The man was inwardly indulging in his wishful thinking. If they followed Baby Robbie, they might be able to get their hands on that cunning Jay Ares.
Hence, he pretended to be kind and reminded him," There are many exotic flowers and weeds in our mountains that are highly poisonous. If you don't bring along a top healer, I'm afraid that all of you won't be able to reach the deep mountains. You might get poisoned and even die. Why don't you take us along? We can help you get rid of poisonous plants."
Baby Robbie stared at the man and said, "Keep your cunning scheme to yourself. You're just trying to follow us so we'll find Sir Ares for you, right? Do you
think I'm that stupid?"
The man did not expect that even though Baby Robbie was young and the way he spoke reflected his age, he would stay so cautious during critical moments.
The sisters had been impatient for a long time now. Sis Three, Lilynn, hit the nail on the head when she said, "If Jens were here, he would've finished interrogating them with a single sentence. Baby Robbie is such a chatterbox. It's almost dark out but we haven't gotten any important information. This is the difference between someone quiet and loud."
Baby Robbie abruptly stared at Sis Three and said, "Sis Three, your words are not so much damaging as they are humiliating to me. Fine, you guys go ahead and interrogate them yourself."
Sis Three grabbed Baby Robbie's hand and said, "What else are you trying to get out of them? You've practically dug out their ancestors' scandals from the 18th century at this point. Let's just go."
Baby Robbie thought for a while and then turned his head. "I suddenly remembered that I still have one important thing that I haven't asked him."
Sis Three truly thought that Baby Robbie had something important to ask them, so she let go of him. However, Baby Robbie walked up to the man and asked him, "Which one of my sisters do you think is the most beautiful and gentle?"
The man's eyes shifted toward Sis Six, Roxie.
"Baby Robbie..." The sisters were waving their fists as they panted with rage. They walked toward Baby Robbie.
Baby Robbie covered his head and scurried away.
"Sisters, I'll marry all of you off one at a time. As long as you find your Mr. Right, I'll feel at ease for the rest of my life."
"We're still too young."
"Compared to when Mommy started being in love, all of you are old now."
"You're being mean, Baby Robbie."
The joy and laughter of the group of children echoed along in the valley.
However, the man earlier was not wrong with his warning. As Baby Robbie and the rest were off frolicking in the forest, they managed to come into contact with many poisonous plants.
Chapter 2154
Chapter 2154
Very soon, several of the children started showing symptoms of having been poisoned.
Especially Baby Robbie, as his symptoms were the most severe.
His face had turned pale and his body was weak. He started vomiting and getting diarrhea as well.
However, the most miserable part of this all was that there were no latrines anywhere.
Baby Robbie covered his belly, looking as though he was unable to move an inch.
The sisters were extremely worried about him. Sis Three asked, "Baby Robbie, why are your symptoms so severe?" Even though the sisters were all poisoned as well and experiencing fatigue, they could still walk with some tenacity.
As for Baby Robbie, who was supposedly stronger, he was unable to move the slightest. This made the sisters very worried. Baby Robbie held onto his stomach, looked at the foggy sky in utter bitterness as he wailed out in agony. "I need the toilet." The sisters looked at each other. Then, Sis Thirteen
pointed toward one of the bushes and said, "Baby Robbie, you should find a place to solve that issue of yours first." Baby Robbie looked embarrassed. "Right here? I can't bring myself to poop in the wild like an animal."
Sis Six said, "Then let me carry you on my back."
Baby Robbie staggeringly walked toward Sis Six and she quickly pulled his hand over to carry him on her back.
Sis Four and Sis Five were afraid that Baby Robbie would fall, so the two of them carefully supported Baby Robbie along the way.
Sis Thirteen was in charge of running ahead of them and finding the way.
After walking for quite some time, Sis Thirteen suddenly turned around happily and said, "I see a plume of smoke that looks like it's coming from a chimney. Someone must be living there, so let's borrow their latrine."
Perhaps it was because they had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, so the children started walking even faster. When they wandered onto a small path in the mountains, whether it was considered their luck or misfortune, they happened to cross paths with Gale who had come out to hunt.
Gale had climbed onto a tall tree and was taking out some bird eggs.
When he looked down, he happened to see Baby Robbie and the others. Gale's entire face was scrunched up.
Baby Robbie, the teenager who was about to reach adulthood, was now 1.8 meters tall. However, he was lying on the back of a petite girl. The main point was that the delicate girl seemed unable to withstand carrying the young man anymore, but she merely clenched her teeth and persisted.
Gale started to come down from the tree and the sisters looked defensive as soon as they saw Gale.
"Who are you?"
Gale was crossing his arms, and his sharp gaze scanned across all of the girls. "Are you people not from around here?" Gale asked.
Baby Robbie abruptly chimed in, "Get out of the way. Don't delay my business."
Gale was slightly startled. "You have an Imperial Capital accent?"
He immediately straightened up his posture and his tone was no longer as sharp as it was before. He asked, "Are you all from Imperial Capital?"
"So what?" Baby Robbie asked fiercely.
"Are any of you an Ares?" Gale asked in a stirred up manner.
"All of us are Areses," said Sis Three.
Gale's dark pupils burst into sparkles almost instantly. His eyes appeared more gentle and he scanned past all of the girls' faces. However, Gale's eyes were filled with a sense of loss after not seeing the face he had imprinted in his memory.
"Judging by your accent, you're not from Sacred Land either. So who are you?" It was Baby Robbie's turn to interrogate Gale.
Gale laughed and said, "My name is Gale. I think all of you should know Sir Ares from Imperial Capital, right? He's inside the cave way up front. I can take you there."
The sisters were not ones who would believe others so easily. They looked at each other and could not seem to make up their minds.
After all, these sort of fancy findings just by sheer luck alone would often be hiding some kind of evil behind.
Baby Robbie only had one thing in mind at the moment and that was-going to the toilet.
Hence, he urged the sisters. "Let's just go with him.
Sis Three looked at Baby Robbie suspiciously and asked, "You actually trust him that easily, Baby Robbie?"
Chapter 2155
Chapter 2155
Baby Robbie had a pained expression on his face as he said, "I don't believe him one bit, but I really need a latrine. Let's talk after I solve my nature's calling."
The sisters were in between laughter and tears.
Just like that, Baby Robbie and the others started following Gale as they trekked on the winding mountain roads. Baby Robbie's symptoms were getting more and more severe. While he was lying on Sis Six's back, he continuously groaned and asked," How much longer?"
Gale would answer him the same thing every time," It's just right ahead. We're almost there."
After walking for quite some time, they still had not arrived at the destination.
Baby Robbie started to feel like Gale was trying to trick him, so he exasperatedly asked him, "Why you stinking little bastard, are you toying with me?"
Gale rolled his eyes at him and there was a contemptuous look on his face.
From his point of view, the supposedly strong and tall teenager was so whiny and could not bear the slightest bit of hardship. He was even allowing a delicate girl to carry him around. What an utter disgrace for a man!
Hence, Gale was deliberately taking a longer route.
However, the intelligent Baby Robbie noticed something was amiss and became furious with Gale. He snarled, yelling, "You bastard, you're taking advantage of my difficult situation to amuse yourself! Once I'm done solving my needs, you'll find out how I'm going to deal with you!"
Gale's handsome face still appeared fearless and charming at this moment.
He was always so cautious around Sir Ares who was s o vigilant that he could see through the most minor detail. Yet, in front of the young Baby Robbie, he inevitably showed his haughty nature. "Hmph. I'll let you do whatever you want after you get rid of the poison in your body, let alone after solving your needs."
It seemed like the two had agreed to accept each other's challenges.
Gale no longer fooled around and finally led them on the right path. Very soon, he managed to guide Baby Robbie and the others to the cave.
"Daddy."
Jay was patrolling the grounds with Cole and Zayne at the moment. When he heard this delicate yet clear voice, Jay abruptly looked up in a stirred up manner.
Then, he noticed Roxie with her slender waist bent over. She was gritting her teeth while walking toward them with Baby Robbie on her back one step at a time. Behind Roxie were his other daughters. Jay's handsome face turned dark in an instant.
Zayne took it rather casually and said to Baby Robbie with much envy, "Oh my, Baby Robbie sure is a lucky boy. All of his sisters love him too much."
Jay glared at Zayne speechlessly. He had hoped that Baby Robbie would grow into a towering tree that could shelter his sisters from all difficulties in life, not the other way around.
Roxie carried Baby Robbie all the way to Jay. Her legs trembled slightly when she arrived. She immediately fell on her knees to the ground.
Baby Robbie fell to the ground as well.
Jay sternly questioned Baby Robbie, "What's the matter with you?"
Baby Robbie was afraid of Daddy scolding him so he tried to look as pitiful as possible, saying, "I got poisoned, Daddy."
Jay said in a bitingly cold tone, "Your sisters were poisoned as well. Why are you the only one unable to stand?"
Baby Robbie clutched his stomach and said pitifully, "I want to vomit, Daddy. I wanna go to the toilet too... My legs have gone limp..."
Jay glanced at his daughters and saw that their faces were extremely pale. Even their spirits appeared more languid. However, all of them were still able to trek the mountains. As such, Jay suspected that Baby Robbie was taking advantage of his sister on purpose.
He domineeringly commanded him, "Stand up right now."
Baby Robbie crawled back up from the ground.
Zayne felt utterly sorry for his nephew and begged for mercy in his stead. "Hey, he's going through an emergency. Big Brother, if you have to reprimand him, at least wait until he solves all of his needs beforehand. I'll be taking Baby Robbie to the toilet in the back for now."
Afterward, he simply disregarded the terrible expression on Jay's face and hurriedly pulled Baby Robbie away.
At this time, the other sisters finally realized that Baby Robbie had been pretending the whole time and was instantly fuming. However, due to their close relationship with Baby Robbie, they simply felt that his little mischief was harmless.
Chapter 2156
Chapter 2156
Jay was undeniably enraged by this and said, "If all of you continue to spoil him like this, you'll be the ones who suffer sooner or later."
The sisters lowered their heads, not daring to talk back to their father.
Inside the cave, Baby Zetty heard the commotion outside and guessed that her sisters must have arrived. At that moment, her mood was extremely complex. It was mixed with hints of joy and ecstasy, along with much more anxiety.
She staggered out of the cave and stopped at a distance, looking at Roxie and the others while feeling somewhat at a loss.
The time they had been separated was neither long nor short. However, for children hitting puberty, all of the changes were drastic whether it was in terms of height or charm.
When Baby Zetty saw how slender and graceful her sisters had gotten, yet she was deteriorating with age instead, her heart was simply overwhelmed with grievances.
Jay noticed the lingering tears in Baby Zetty's eyes and knew how bitter this reunion must be for her. He
thoughtfully said to Baby Zetty, "Winter, all of them have been poisoned. Can you take a look at them for me?"
Baby Zetty nodded. "Okay."
Then, she enthusiastically said to Roxie and the others, "Come with me."
Roxie and the others followed Baby Zetty into an open cave. There were plenty of medicinal herbs inside and the fragrance was permeating all over, making Roxie and the others feel rather cautious.
They glanced at each other and seemed to be exchanging messages with their eyes. They were obviously suspicious of Baby Zetty's identity and taking precautions for their own safety.
Baby Zetty turned around and showed them a smile while saying, "Well, come in."
Roxie was the first one to come inside. She did not trust Baby Zetty, but she trusted Daddy. The other sisters also walked in one after another.
"Granny Winter, are you a doctor?"
"Not really. Just a quack doctor who barely understands the art of healing," Baby Zetty said modestly.
Frankly speaking, Baby Zetty's medical skills were superb. However, she had merely studied medicine for a couple of years. With such a short amount of time, she was simply lacking in practical experience. Hence, she had always been humble about it.
However, her modesty had caused the sisters to be fearful instead.
"Oh, a quack doctor." Sis Thirteen showed a worried look on her face and said, "Then will you be able to heal us?"
Baby Zetty smiled and said, "The poison inside of all of you doesn't seem very complicated, so it's easily curable."
The sisters felt somewhat relieved.
However, when Baby Zetty was trying to heal them, she did not even touch the sisters. Based on the sisters' complexions, symptoms, and Baby Zetty's understanding of the plants around them, she merely gave them Detoxification Grass.
As a result, the sisters thought that Baby Zetty's medical skills were merely subpar. Lil Ten took the Detoxification Grass and anxiously asked, "Can this thing truly cure us?"
Baby Zetty smiled and said, "You have to crush them into a thin paste and roll them into a thumb-sized ball. Then, press it under the tip of your tongue and spit it out half an hour later. The poison will be gone b y then."
"Huh?" The sisters had never heard of such a strange method of detoxification, and all of them looked at one another.
At this time, Zayne came back in with Baby Robbie.
Baby Robbie made himself at home and sat straight on Baby Zetty's exclusive chair upon entering. Then, he pretended to wail out in agony. "Doctor, I'm dying. Can you take a look at what kind of poison is causing this?"
Baby Zetty was already at a loss as soon as Baby Robbie walked in.
She had been with him since she was a child, and her relationship with Baby Robbie had always been the closest among the siblings. When she saw him, Baby Zetty could not hide her emotions and tears were flickering in her eyes.
She turned around and secretly wiped her tears away.
Then, she staggered toward Baby Robbie. She was the one standing while Baby Robbie sat on her chair. Her back was hunched and her mobility was sluggish.
Plus, Baby Robbie was unwilling to cooperate and lift his arms for her.
This was making it difficult for Baby Zetty to diagnose and treat him.
Baby Robbie was even mischievously joking with her." Doctor Granny, how old are you?"
Chapter 2156
Chapter 2157
Chapter 2157
Baby Zetty was startled and cleverly avoided Baby Robbie's question by saying, "You stinking little brat, don't you know you're not supposed to ask a woman their age?"
Baby Robbie said, "Looking at your gray hair and limited mobility, I was just worried that you might have dementia, Parkinson's disease, or any other senile diseases. It doesn't matter much when you're treating me, Granny, since my life is worthless. But my sisters are precious, so you can't be making any mistakes when you treat them."
Baby Zetty abruptly said, "From a healer's point of view, all lives are precious and fragile."
Baby Robbie stood up from his chair and began to make a scene. "What a bad temper! I can see how unskilled you are, so I'll not allow you to have a look at w After he said this, he turned around and was preparing to flee...
If me.
Baby Zetty scoffed at him. "dust say it if you're not here for treatment, why bother making up a bunch of excuses? I think you're not poisoned at all, that's why you're trying to anger me on purpose so that I'd refuse to treat you."
Baby Robbie halted his footsteps and turned around to look at Baby Zetty in surprise. He gasped in admiration and said, "Oh my God! You're amazing, Granny! Can you truly tell that I haven't been poisoned?" Baby Zetty knew that after Baby Robbie received that nuisance of a token, his body had undergone mysterious changes. He was simply immune to any poison on earth.
Baby Zetty pretended to be mysterious and said, "I can tell your physique is a little more special."
Baby Robbie said, "You truly are amazing. Can you really see that as well?"
Baby Zetty was amused by this. Of course, she could not see anything special about Baby Robbie's physique. However, she used what she knew about him to trick him.
Baby Robbie started to admire Baby Zetty and said, " Granny, you truly are a genius. You didn't even look, smell, or ask anything but you already know that I wasn't poisoned. Moreover, you could see my special physique and know that I'm immune to poison. Where on earth did you come from, Granny?"
When the other sisters heard Baby Robbie admitting that he had not been poisoned, they realized how he had completely deceived them.
"Baby Robbie!" The sisters roared out terrifyingly.
Baby Robbie knew that his little performance had been exposed and quickly fled the scene.
He also begged them for mercy, saying, "Sisters, please. I really couldn't walk anymore so I had to lie."
Sis Six said, "You truly did me dirty..."
Baby Zetty looked at her siblings who were arguing and fighting. There was a trace of envy in her eyes despite her smile.
Her body should be this young and energetic as well. Yet she was now living like an 80-year-old elderly woman. Since her body was old, her heart felt older along with it. "Now, now. The poison in your bodies has not detoxified just yet, so calm down," said Baby Zetty.
Only then did the sisters calm themselves down. This time, they were no longer doubting Baby Zetty's medical skills. Everyone placed the Detoxification Grass in their mouth. Baby Robbie sat on the side and rested his head on his arms. He started looking at Baby Zetty during their leisure time.
"Granny, I have a feeling that I've seen you before."
Baby Zetty looked somewhat panicky as she said," What nonsense are you talking about now? I've never been to Imperial Capital, so how could you have seen me before?"
Baby Robbie stood up and leaned his face closer in front of Baby Zetty. Then, he said, "Perhaps we didn't meet in Imperial Capital. I've traveled everywhere in the past and the whole world was my home. Maybe I had met you then? Think about it clearly, have you met me before?"
Baby Zetty pushed him to the side and shook her head. "I've been in Sacred Land for so long. I'm sure I've never seen you before."
Baby Robbie began to feel suspicious. "You're not looking into my eyes. Do you perhaps have a guilty conscience?"
Baby Zetty,
Baby Zetty was well aware that the more she dodged him, the more he would be suspicious of her identity. She summoned the courage to look at Baby Robbie.
Chapter 2158
Chapter 2158
Baby Robbie gave Baby Zetty a scrutinizing look. Her face was old and filled with deep wrinkles. He could not see a single trace of youth on this face.
However, Baby Robbie's attention was now focused on Baby Zetty's eyes. Although those eyes appear bloodshot and even dry, he could sense that the eyes looked extremely familiar. "Baby Zetty," Baby Robbie said while sighing.
Baby Zetty was inwardly horrified and quickly hid herself. "What did you call me? I'm not anyone's baby at my age. My name is Winter, and I've never been married. Call me Lady Winter." Baby Robbie pursed his lips, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He was well aware that the woman in front of him could not possibly be his sister Zetty. However, for some reason, he just felt that Winter and Baby Zetty were somewhat similar. "Granny Winter, you look a lot like my sister." When Baby Robbie mentioned Baby Zetty, a trace of sadness appeared on his handsome face.
Baby Zetty asked him, "Do you miss her?"
Baby Robbie nodded, and his expression appeared
gloomy. "I do."
Baby Zetty immediately felt a soreness in her heart. She knew that Daddy, Mommy, and her siblings loved her very much. She had not been in contact with them in the past few years, so they must have been extremely worried about her.
Just liked how she had heart-wrenchingly missed them for so long.
Fortunately, Baby Robbie was very optimistic. He stretched his body and confidently said, "My purpose of coming here is rescuing Daddy and also to look for my little sister. I believe that I'll be able to locate Baby Zetty soon enough."
Baby Zetty smiled bitterly.
Truthfully, Baby Zetty was utterly at a loss about her future. Of course, she was longing to go home, but she could feel how her body was aging every single day. It made her afraid of going home and getting recognized by her family members. She wanted them to remember her at her prime, not witness her wilt away and die before their eyes.
That would be too cruel to them.
Baby Zetty simply replied somewhat insincerely, "I hope you get what you wish for."
After the sisters were cured of the poison, they started to greatly admire Baby Zetty's art of healing.
They loved pestering Baby Zetty and asking about some rather complicated medical problems. Since Baby Zetty knew all of the answers, she answered all of their questions non-stop.
The sisters had started to become very fond of Baby Zetty.
Sis Three generously showered Baby Zetty with flattering words, saying, "Granny Winter, you're not only superb in the art of healing but also kind toward everyone. Moreover, you're so graciously sharing all of your unique secret skills with us. You truly are the most benevolent doctor we've ever met."
Baby Zetty smiled without saying a word.
Naturally, there was nothing she wanted to hide from her sisters.
However, Jay felt extremely stifled whenever someone praised Baby Zetty.
His daughter Baby Zetty was so kind and so intelligent. Why would God punish her like this?
On this day when everyone was taking a nap, Jay deliberately called Baby Zetty to the side and tried to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her.
"Tell me, is there a way to treat progeria?" Jay was looking at Baby Zetty expectantly.
Baby Zetty knew now that not only did Daddy recognize her, but he also knew that she had contracted a strange disease.
In order to spare her dad from disappointment, Baby
Zetty optimistically told Jay, "There's no disease in this world that can't be treated. It's just a matter of time."
Just like cancer, there would be a day when they would overcome it with the advancement of science.
Jay was obviously dissatisfied with her answer. He sternly said, "Then, for the time being, you should be researching the cure for this disease."
In order to encourage Baby Zetty, Jay suddenly held her hand and said, "I believe that you'll succeed."
Chapter 2159
Chapter 2159
Baby Zetty was startled.
During this time, she had been busy trying to cure Andy and Grayson. She also occasionally took care of other people's health. She did not have the time to think about the cure for her progeria. In the end, a father's love was truly as broad as the mountains as only Daddy was selflessly worrying about her health.
Baby Zetty said with reddened eyes, "Truthfully, everyone has their own destiny. One's life can either end up being long or short. As long as one doesn't live their lives in vain, the years are merely just a number."
She was originally trying to comfort her dad. She wanted to tell him that she had calmly accepted her fate.
However, Jay was extremely agitated upon hearing this. How could he be willing to accept that his daughter would die before him?
He domineeringly commanded Baby Zetty, "You must find a cure as soon as possible. As a healer, you have to save lives, which means it's your duty to race against death itself."
These words undoubtedly gave Baby Zetty a
tremendous amount of pressure.
Along this journey, Baby Zetty would occasionally use her free time to think about the cure for this progeria. However, she did not have a laboratory, pharmaceutical materials, nor equipment. Most of the time, she would end up feeling utterly helpless.
When Jay was having a conversation with Baby Zetty, Zayne had secretly run out. He was not far away, spying on them.
Zayne thought that Jay's thoughtfulness toward Granny Winter was a little too intimate. Despite Jay's cold personality, he actually took care of Winter in every possible way. For instance, he would carry Granny Winter on his back, constantly ask about Granny Winter's well-being, and even stop other men from approaching her.
Zayne still had zero clues that Granny Winter was Baby Zetty, so he could only classify Jay's abnormal treatment as him developing romantic feelings for her.
Hence, Zayne was extremely angry at Jay's behavior. H e furiously ran back into the cave and looked for Baby Robbie to make his complaints.
"Your daddy is not human, Baby Robbie."
"You're the one that's not human," Baby Robbie retorted.
Zayne was uncontrollably angry and reported to Baby Robbie according to the facts he had, "Your dad's frame of mind has utterly crumbled and he's done something sorry toward your mommy."
Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at him. He had an extreme amount of faith in Daddy's character and said, "Please use your head before you slander my daddy. Is there anyone here who could make my daddy do such a thing?"
Baby Robbie only knew that his mother was outstandingly beautiful and gentle. Daddy loved Mommy so deeply, so he would never do anything sorry toward her.
Zayne was unwilling to give this up and persistently continued to brainwash Baby Robbie. "Men are just animals who think with the lower half of their bodies. Your father might love your mommy, but they've been separated for so long now. Are you certain that your daddy's frame of mind won't crumble?"
Baby Robbie sat in front of Zayne and asked, "Tell me clearly. Which little minx has managed to pique my daddy's interest?"
Zayne hesitated for a moment before saying, "Winter?"
Baby Robbie's eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed, "My daddy is not blind! How could he like that old woman who probably has one foot in the grave?"
Even Cole was extremely supportive of Zayne's statement as he said, "Your uncle's suspicion of your father is not entirely groundless. Your father has been very courteous with Winter recently. It's indeed
somewhat abnormal of him."
Baby Robbie smacked his lips and said, "If he has to ask for something from Granny Winter, of course, he'd have to flatter her first."
Cole asked him in return, "Do you think a person with your father's temperament will want to flatter anyone?"
Baby Robbie was dumbfounded.
After giving it much thought, Baby Robbie also felt that something was amiss.
He stood up gloomily and walked outside.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw Jay coming back with Granny Winter on his back. His expression looked extremely tranquil.
Baby Robbie looked at Daddy. He was so shocked at this sight that he could not say a word.

Chapter 2160
Baby Robbie knew his dad very well. Daddy had a rather arrogant personality and disliked familiarizing himself with strangers, let alone having physical contact with them.
However, Jay was carrying Granny Winter on his back and tightly holding the back of her knees for fear that she would fall. Judging from this sight alone, it seemed that Daddy definitely had some special feelings for Granny Winter.
As Jay walked in with Baby Zetty, he noticed the group of people looking at him with surprise and astonishment. Jay did not have a particularly guilty conscience either, but he slowly placed Granny Winter down and kindly told her, "Head inside, and remember what I told you."
Baby Zetty nodded and walked in with her head drooped down.
Baby Robbie thought Daddy would try to explain the situation, but it was as if Jay was wholly ignoring their existence. Moreover, he even scoffed at them coldly. "Don't all of you have anything better to do? What on earth are you loitering around for? If you're that free, can you find ways to rescue Andy and Grayson instead?"
Afterward, Jay went inside to see the patients.
Baby Robbie's face appeared cold. It was obvious he was upset at the moment.
Zayne jumped up and pointed at Jay's back, "Jay Ares! Don't you feel guilty after doing something you should be sorry for? Be careful, or I'll have to rat you out to my sister about the things you've been doing. I'll make sure you'll bear all the consequences of your actions!"
Jay was an upright person and knew he had done nothing wrong. Hence, he was unafraid of Zayne who was trying to make a scene and simply ignored him.
This made Zayne even angrier, and he spat out all of the nasty curses he could think of.
Jay ignored him the entire time. It was Baby Zetty who furiously walked out while holding a silver needle in her hand. She was waving it in front of Zayne.
Since Zayne was well aware of how powerful Baby Zetty was with her needles, he immediately stopped being so impudent and merely grumbled sullenly, "If you're going to try so hard to stop people from finding out about it, then don't do it in the first place."
Baby Zetty was so angry that she could barely stand it. Then, she instructed Gale, "Gale, shut off his language ability."
Gale responded heartily, "Sure thing!"
Immediately after, Gale did a backflip and jumped behind Zayne. A silver needle that emerged seemingly out of nowhere was sandwiched between his fingers. He pricked it into Zayne's body in the blink of an
eye.
Zayne opened his mouth and mumbled, but not a single sound came out.
Baby Robbie was in a towering rage and snarled. "This is bullying!"
He jumped in front of Gale and provoked him, saying," Have a round of fight with me if you dare. But once you lose, take Granny Winter with you and get out of my sight immediately!"
Gale was an exceptionally intelligent person. After seeing how Baby Zetty and Jay were getting along in the past couple of days, Gale had long guessed the relationship between the two.
Therefore, Gale knew he could not decide for Baby Zetty at the moment. Baby Zetty was merely left with two options. It was either she let him accept the challenge, or she could be the one to convince herself o solve the misunderstanding.
Gale looked at Baby Zetty and asked for her opinion," Should I fight him?"
Baby Zetty looked at her body, which was covered by age spots. It made her feel nauseated just looking at them. Inside her old body, there was a young girl who had always loved looking beautiful. Baby Zetty refused to let her loved ones see her in such a dire state.
After pondering, Baby Zetty said, "Just don't take it too far."
This was her permission for Gale and Baby Robbie to start.
Gale was slightly taken aback for a moment but still said, "Let's start, then."
Gale and Baby Robbie had agreed to a round of fight. The two were in the prime of their youth, so they were awfully excited to fight.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Jay watched the fight silently. When the others had the thought of stopping the two, Jay waved at them and said, "Stand down."
