Chapter 153 Frederick is Very Pitiful
Dennis tried hard to restrain himself from breaking down in tears.
He had to be strong in front of Hugo and couldn't let Hugo think he was a crybaby!
"I'm also very happy to be brothers with you and to join your big family!" Dennis said.
Dennis's eyes turned red, and Hugo warmly reached out to hug him again, comforting him, "We're sorry for letting you wander alone all these years. But you must believe in Mommy; don't ever blame her. She truly didn't know about your existence. If she had, she would have done everything to keep you by her side, even risking her life.
Our mommy, though occasionally not very smart, is truly a good mom!
She went through a lot to give birth to us. She loves us very much. In her heart, we are more important than anything! If she had known about you earlier, she would never have ignored you."
Dennis choked up as he uttered, "I know, I don't blame Mommy. I like Mommy."
"Okay, don't worry. I will definitely get to the bottom of this! We'll find out who took you away from Mom and caused you to be separated for so many years! I will get justice for you!"
"Okay!" Dennis nodded again, sniffing, "Dad said I was picked up by Alison at the doorstep."
Hugo said calmly, "It wasn't her. I conducted an investigation today; it wasn't Alison who took you from Mom. Alison actually saved you."
"If it wasn't Alison, then who? Alison benefited the most from this," Dennis asked.
Because she saved him, the entire Walter family rose to prominence! From an ordinary family, they suddenly became a top-wealthy family. It's all because Alison saved his life!
Hugo furrowed his little brows and said, "The specifics still need to be investigated, but Alison is definitely not the focus. Even without Alison, someone else would have found you and brought you to Frederick.
The person behind it wanted to deliver you to Frederick, regardless of who found you, so we don't need to focus too much on Alison."
Dennis's expression turned serious as he inquired, "Are you suggesting that someone is maneuvering all these matters from the shadows?"
"Yes, that's what I suspect. Back then, Mommy passed out on her way home from work just before giving birth to us. When she woke up, she was already in the deep mountains.
That means someone saved her while she was unconscious, helped her give birth, and then left her in the mountains.
But when Mom woke up, there were only the three of us, not you. So you must have been taken away by someone.
And that person must have known Frederick was your biological dad, which is why they left you at Frederick's doorstep after taking you."
Dennis frowned as he uttered, "It does seem like someone is behind this. But why send you to the deep mountains? The mountains are not suitable for living. Did that person want you to fend for yourselves?"
Hugo shook his head, "I've thought about it too. The mountains are indeed not suitable for living, but if they wanted to kill us, they could have let Mom die in childbirth. There was no need to send us to the mountains.
By sending us to the mountains, they gave us a slim chance of survival."
Dennis asked again, "How did Mom survive in that environment right after giving birth to us?"
Hugo answered without hesitation, "We were saved by kind people in the mountains."
Dennis was stunned, "Kind people living in the mountains? How coincidental! Could they be the masterminds?"
Hugo immediately shook his head, remarking, "No, they were very good people, even the best in the world. You'll understand when you meet them someday. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have had the chance to learn skills to protect Mom."
Then Hugo reminded, "By the way, don't tell anyone about this. We promised our benefactors when we left the mountains that we wouldn't divulge this to outsiders. I'm only telling you because we're family."
Dennis was moved again. He promised, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!"
Speaking of the benefactors in the mountains, Hugo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dennis, I learned my skills from our benefactors in the mountains. What about you? I noticed Frederick is only good at making money, but not very skilled with computers and networks. It surely wasn't he who taught you, nor have you had any contact with outsiders. Thus, I am curious, from where did you acquire your skills?"
Dennis didn't hide anything and told the truth, "I learned from an online teacher. I missed Mom a lot and was very introverted, not liking to communicate with people. Dad was worried I'd become too withdrawn, so he bought me a computer to make friends online.
Later, I met my teacher. He was also searching for someone, just like me, and had been looking for many years without success. We shared the same pain and had common topics, so we became friends in the online world.
He said I had talent, just like him when he was young, and told me that only by gaining skills could I achieve my dreams faster. He offered to teach me, and I learned from him to find Mom sooner."
Hugo was curious as he asked, "Who is your teacher?"
Dennis shook his head, answering, "I don't know his identity. I just know he's very skilled. And he still hasn't found the person he's looking for."
Dennis felt a bit sad as he said this. He hoped his teacher could find the person he was looking for, just like he did. Once found, happiness would come; otherwise, there would always be pain.
Hugo asked, "Who is he looking for?"
"I don't know either, just a very important woman to him."
Hugo was curious about what kind of woman was so hard to find that even someone so skilled couldn't locate her.
After a moment of silence, Hugo said, "He taught you skills and guided you, so he's a great benefactor to our family. If we ever meet him, Mommy and I will definitely thank him properly."
"Okay!"
Hugo then brought the topic back, "By the way, do you know why Dad won't divorce Mommy?"
"What? Dad won't divorce Mommy?"
"Yes, he clearly doesn't like Mommy. He was the one who asked Mommy to sign the divorce papers back then, but they never got divorced!
Mommy came back to Teronica this time to divorce him! Unfortunately, Mom has tried to meet him many times, but he never shows up. I can't figure out his intentions."
Dennis frowned and thought for a while. Then he remarked, "I get it. He's using this as an excuse to reject Alison."
"What?"
"Alison likes Dad and has always wanted to marry him. Dad, feeling indebted to her for saving me, couldn't reject her directly, so he used his married status to turn her down."
No one knows a father better than his son; Dennis guessed it right.
Hugo suddenly understood. "So that's it!"
He had been puzzled by this for a long time, but now, hearing Dennis's explanation, he instantly got it!
"If that's the reason, it's easy to handle. They were secretly married, so they just need to divorce quietly without letting Alison know."
In this way, he wouldn't need to use that thing to negotiate with Frederick.
He was quite fond of the treasure he got from Nicholas.
Hugo cautiously asked, "Dennis, if you had to choose between Daddy and Mommy, who would you choose?"
Dennis bit his lip and didn't say anything. He didn't want to choose; he wanted both!
Hugo rephrased, inquiring, "Would you be willing to leave Frederick and go with Mommy?"
Dennis shook his head, uttering, "Daddy treats me very well. I don't want to abandon him. If I leave, he will be very sad. He only has me by his side. Without me, his world would be dark, with no light left. Daddy is also very pitiful."
Dennis typically speaks little, but he understood everything in his heart.
Over the years, Frederick had worked hard to take good care of himself.
And in the environment of the Valdemar family, surrounded by individuals like wolves and beasts, each of them wanted to tear him apart!
He was like a lion standing alone on a mountain peak, with monsters at the foot of the mountain wanting to rip him apart. As he gazed into the distance, all he could see was darkness!
Only little Dennis, like the sun, gave him a ray of light. If Dennis went with Isabella, that light would be gone, and Frederick's world would be completely dark!
They say the higher you stand, the lonelier you are! Frederick was now at the pinnacle of the economic world, and he was very lonely.
Dennis felt sorry for him and loved him, not wanting to abandon him.
