Elsa found herself speechless at his words.
Well, the saying is true: the apple does not fall far from the tree. Like father, like son.
With Alex being recognized as a People's Hero, it was no surprise that his son would have a similar personality.
So clever at such a young age. He must be a hero in the making as well!
Elsa was a little disappointed, however, at the thought that Alex already had a son.

Alex and Stanley returned home soon after. With the help of Ms. Haden, Elsa had also sent the other children back to their homes.
When Alex carried Stanley into the house, he was surprised to see nobody at home. Calling Heather, he found out she was still stuck at the office.
He asked if she would like him to fetch her from the office but she gave up on that idea when she saw how deep the floodwater was. As long as her son was safe, she was happy. She could just stay the night at the office.
Thinking it over for a bit, he ended up calling Elsa to request her help in fetching Heather and the others
back home.
The next day, the floodwaters receded to reveal the devastation it had caused. According to the news, the flood had caused more than tens of billions in damage costs in Nebula City alone, excluding the indirect losses incurred.
Heather went to work in the morning while Alex stayed home with Stanley. All the schools were ordered to temporarily close for the day.
The first thing Alex did was donate five hundred million to the Rescue Foundation under the name of Chairman of Four Seas Corporation. After that, he called Jack and had him donate another five hundred million on behalf of the company.
Jack himself donated fifty million and managed to convince other shareholders to donate as well. Altogether, they donated more than ten million.
The mayor of the city was quick to respond by personally calling Alex and the others to express his gratitude. He also publicly announced their donation effort, which served to encourage other wealthy individuals and corporates to donate.
Thanks to Alex's lead, the Rescue Foundation managed to receive over five billion in cash and close to one billion in resources on the first day alone.
The governor also had his secretary call Alex to thank him; the governor would like to treat Alex to a meal sometime and have a chat with him about the development of the city.
Another day passed and schools resumed operation. It was only then that Alex headed in for work.
It took him a very long time before he managed to spot and hail a taxi. Getting inside, he gave Ginny's address to the driver.
On his way there, he did not see many cars on the road. The few that he saw were either luxury cars with

Thankfully, his R8 was still working fine despite being submerged in water. He tested the engine to ensure it was alright before he called Ginny to tell her to come to the lobby.
The flood adversely impacted some of Four Seas Corporation's projects. Even the recording of their TV program had to be pushed back several days.
Fortunately, this would not affect their plan to obtain advertising bids.
Galaxy Girls was a huge variety show. Even though they had not started recording, the program was already very popular. This had led to many corporates fighting for a chance to bid for the program.
To support local corporates, Four Seas Corporation had allowed only local companies to make their bids. Thus, a lot of other major corporations outside the province could not join in, even though they were highly interested.
Jessica entered his office with a list of companies that wanted to bid. Alex glanced through it, noting how she had grouped them neatly by city.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on the companies from Airedale. Recalling the unpleasant incident in Airedale with Kurt Taylor previously, his lips curled into a faint smile.
