Chapter 766 Many Gifts
The intricately patterned wooden door shattered. The world blurred once more, the scent of disinfectant stinging his nose, the sound of muffled sobs in his ears.
"Darwin, I never wanted this for you. I was just angry... Grandma was so cruel, insisting on giving you all the shares, replacing me. This was my life's work, and I couldn't accept it... I only wanted to hurt you, delay your inheritance, not to harm you so severely! Please forgive me…"
After a moment, she spoke again, her voice tinged with resentment. "In the end, it's also your fault. Why are you so clever? Why didn't you hide your talents? Why did you listen to Grandma and not stand by my side? You're still so young, wouldn't it be better to inherit the family business in another ten or twenty years?"
Darwin felt a searing pain in his chest, making it hard to breathe.
Behind him, another hazy scene unfolded. On the sofa, a frail old man sat, while a teenage boy stood before her.
"I'm the monster you created! Mom will hate me when she finds out! She won't love me anymore!"
"She never loved you to begin with," the old man said sternly and mercilessly. "Darwin, you are your grandmother's hope, not a monster. The fact that you turned out so well proves that your grandmother's decision was right. You are the smartest child, the pinnacle of the entire family. There is no one smarter than you!"
"No!" The boy shouted, "I won't let you manipulate me anymore, and I won't become the heir of the Solomons!"
Slap!
A resounding slap landed on the boy's face.
"Fine, as long as you give up being the heir of the Solomons, Anniston will be a complete disaster in my eyes. I will make her leave the Solomons immediately! If you don't want to be the heir, there are plenty of people who will come to me and ask for my support! I'm not a Solomon, there's no need to keep the position of heir for you Solomon family people!"
The boy stood there, Darwin could feel his confusion and helplessness. "Please..." The boy's voice trembled, "I take back what I said, please don't be angry with Mom..."
The scene in front of him dissipated like smoke. Darwin felt a splitting headache. It was as if he had returned to that hospital bed in an instant. He could hear the voices around him, but he couldn't move at all. Time seemed to stretch infinitely in that moment.
His mother visited less and less frequently. His grandmother's voice whispered in his ear, saying that she had returned to the company and was busy solidifying her position.
"Darwin!" In the distance, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice called out. Darwin's soul trembled violently the moment he heard her voice.
"Darwin..."
Darwin wearily opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Fiona's anxious face.
"What's wrong?" Darwin asked wearily.
Fiona immediately hugged him. "You scared me, I couldn't wake you up no matter how I called you!"
Strictly speaking, it was Darwin who uttered a painful groan. She woke up and tried to wake him up, but he couldn't be awakened...
Darwin hugged Fiona and gently patted her back. "It was just a dream, it's okay, don't be afraid..."
How could Fiona not be afraid? Although Darwin had returned, his condition was still unstable, and she felt like she was walking on thin ice!
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Charles and Chicago woke up one after another.
"It's okay, Mommy had a nightmare too." Fiona waved her hand at the children.
Charles and Chicago were still very dazed. they quickly came over, each hugging Fiona, patiently comforting her. After a while, the two little ones fell asleep again.
Fiona was speechless. She moved Darwin and the children back to their respective positions.
Early the next morning, while Charles and Chicago were getting ready, Fiona called the attending physician. Then, she recounted what happened last night to the attending physician.
"Mr. Solomon Jr, what kind of dream was it?" the attending physician asked.
Darwin pondered for a moment, "I don't remember it well, it was probably related to past memories, I forgot about it when I woke up."
The attending physician looked at Darwin's brain CT again.
"Don't worry, Fiona, perhaps Mr. Solomon Jr's memories are resurfacing, causing the nightmares."
"Memory recovery?" Fiona glanced at Darwin. Could it be that what she said to him last night about his origins had triggered something?
"That seems to be the case, but Mr. Solomon Jr's situation is a bit complicated, and you still need to observe him for a while. The life detection watch prepared for Mr. Solomon Jr before will be delivered soon, and if there are any abnormal fluctuations, the watch will alert you."
"Okay, thank you."
The attending physician reminded her again and left.
"It must be what I said last night..." Fiona turned around and sat back in front of Darwin.
Obviously, a few days ago, Darwin's complexion had improved somewhat. But after this nightmare, his face and lips had lost another third of their color.
"It's okay." Darwin touched her head, "When can we go home?"
Fiona smiled helplessly. "After breakfast and getting the medicine, we can go home!"
Darwin nodded. He looked at Fiona, his eyes full of tenderness.
In fact, he was lying. He remembered everything that happened in the dream, everything they said. Darwin finally understood why he was always worried that Fiona would leave him. It was because he had been abandoned by his mother since he was a child.
After Charles and Chicago finished washing up, they sat down and waited for breakfast. After breakfast, Fiona and Darwin went to complete the discharge procedures. Then, they got in the car and headed home.
Janna had already settled in Emerald Pool yesterday. The car slowly pulled into the garage. Fiona helped Darwin out of the car.
It was a sunny day to go home. The golden sunlight was scattered everywhere, making the grass look particularly green, and the distant forest lush. The lake looked like a pale blue jade.
"It's beautiful." Darwin looked at the rose wall in the distance.
"Daddy, I planted this one!" Chicago immediately raised her hand. "Daddy, do you like it? It's for you!"
During the time she lost her father, Chicago would find ways to express her unspoken sadness by preparing special gifts for him. For example, plant a beautiful little flower for her father every once in a while or plant a small tomato vine for her father. When her father would come back, all the tomatoes on this vine would be his!
As Chicago planted, she also remembered when they used to live in the small house. There, she saved all the big, red, delicious ones for her mommy, and gave her daddy the small ones. Darwin happily ate them all. Chicago felt extremely guilty and sat in front of the tomato vine, crying for a long time.
