Barton snorted coldly and then left with his entourage. Renee

muttered, “Good intentions are often unappreciated. What a bunch of

ingrates!”

She had unwavering faith in Nash’s medical skills, especially after witnessing him cure a patient who was clinically brain-dead not long

ago.

Eric walked over to Nash, who looked a bit pale. He asked, “Are you

okay?”

Nash smiled and nodded. “I’m good.

Eric relaxed a bit. “We haven’t finished our drinks yet. Let’s go back

and continue.”

Skadi complained, “Yoyo hasn’t even had her cake yet. They ruined everything!” It was her first time celebrating Yoyo’s birthday, and she had not expected such an event to occur.

Hera comforted her softly, “Aren’t we going to go back and drink now? Let’s buy another cake and continue celebrating Yoyo’s birthday wher

we get back!”

An hour later, everyone returned to Villa 14 to continue celebrating Yoyo’s birthday. Jezebel prepared some nutritious snacks and fruit platters as well as some appetizers for those who wanted to drink.

At around ten o’clock, Yoyo blew out the candles and made a wish.

Thus came the end of her fifth birthday celebration.

After Eric had drunk himself into unconsciousness, Nash followed the

drowsy Hera back to their villa. As soon as they arrived home,

however, Nash’s phone rang.

Hera gently called out to Nash, “Nash, wake up!”

Lying on the couch, Nash looked at Hera with bleary eyes and mumbled, “My wife, you’re so beautiful!”

Hera smiled sweetly and said, “Your phone is ringing. You should

answer it.”

Seeing Nash still unmoved, Hera grabbed his phone and showed him

the caller ID. It was Stellar.

“Nash, Stellar’s calling!”

Hera did not dare to answer the call without Nash’s permission. Nash

engaged his true energy, and a wisp of white mist emanated from the

top of his head. The drunkenness on his face dissipated.

He sat up and grabbed the phone. “Uncle Stellar…”

Nash addressed the man as ‘Uncle’ because he was considered a

brother to Nash’s father. Before Nash knew Philix was his father, he

used to call Stellar by his name. Now that he knew Philix was his

father, it was natural for him to change the term of address.

“Nash, the general and I have returned to the Northern Territory. He asked me to tell you two things.

“The first thing is that the Kleins have already discovered that you’re a member of the Young family. The second thing is that you should be wary of Francis.”

Stellar’s tone was serious when he said this, and Nash could not help but ask, “What does he mean by that? Why be wary of Francis?

“Why didn’t my father call me personally for such an important matter?”

Although he had not met with Francis much, the man had always

been kind to him. He even saved him and Melody a few days ago. If it were Stellar’s own judgment, Nash would have certainly ignored the

matter.

However, it was his father who told Stellar to relay the message to

him.

There was a moment of silence before Stellar slowly answered, “I’ve already told you what the Warden said. He won’t be contacting you for the foreseeable future, and you shouldn’t try to contact him either. Your father’s affairs are not something you can meddle in.”

With that, Stellar ended the call.

Nash plopped onto the couch heavily. He tried calling his father, but his phone was turned off. What happened to his father in Capiton? Was his father distancing himself from him because of the Kleins? What was his father thinking when he warned him about Francis?

Nash dialed Tristan’s number. He was the only person he knew in Capiton’s political circle. The call was quickly answered, and Tristan asked with a smile, “Mr. Calcraft, why are you calling me so late?”

Without beating about the bush, Nash asked directly, “Has something happened in Capiton?”

Tristan was surprised. “What happened?”

After a brief pause, Nash asked, “How are the relations between the four Wardens and Francis Dunn?”

“They’re fine. I’m not exactly sure about the specifics of their

relationships with one another. I don’t have the authority to meddle in

their affairs.”

“Alright, go get some rest.”
