The wheelchair was brand new. It should be specially prepared for Ethan.
"Lita..."
Ethan whispered in a low voice, and his words seemed to be more unclear.
Originally, his vocal cords was not very good. Moreover, in order to escape from the White Mansion successfully, he bit his tongue, which had been unlucky, and his tongue was broken, which resulted in the illusion of vomiting blood and poisoning.
Lita trotted up to him all the way and squatted down beside Ethan's wheelchair. She asked distressedly,
"Brother, why are you... Aren't you in the Mansion?"
"I'm here to see you."
Ethan said calmly. Only when he saw that Lita was safe and sound could his heart be at peace.
No matter what he did was reasonable or meaningless, in Ethan's opinion, everything was worth seeing Lita and her son live a peaceful life. "I'm fine. Eldest Brother, please leave this place quickly."
Lita had already realized that Ethan had landed in the river bank's hands, but she still hoped that he would be able to escape from here.
"Since you're here, how can I leave?"
Ethan lightly touched Lita's head and said apologetically, "Lita, I've made your mother and son suffer!"
Upon hearing Ethan's words, Lita, which had accumulated for many days, could no longer hold back the tears and fell straight down.
She hurriedly shook her head. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Lita finally calmed down and stopped her sobs.
Sam had already left. The door of the detention room was locked again, and there were only Lita and the half-ly disabled Ethan in the room.
"Elder brother, aren't you in the Mansion? Did Heding and the others break into the Mansion?"
Snow wiped away the tear stains that had fallen on her cheeks and asked in a soft and doubtful voice.
"I was the one who found a way to run out of the Mansion."
"What? You ran out on your own?" Lita was surprised.
Ethan didn't want to explain any more. Instead, he looked at Lita's belly, which was half kneeling on the ground, gently.
"Lita, is my nephew doing well?"
After a slight pause, she said with regret, "You are such a silly child. How can you refuse to tell us about such a big thing like pregnancy?"
"Big brother, did you find out?"
Lita whispered slightly, and then lowered her head with some self-blame. She answered in a low voice,
"You said that a sister-in-law is pregnant with a child of a younger brother... Is this suitable?"
"Alas, it's all my fault. I hesitated for a while and then became the accomplice of Alex! Lita, it's my elder brother who let you suffer moral guilt! It's my elder brother's fault!"
At first, Ethan was indeed partial to his younger brother. He thought that his behavior was just to get along with Lita in another way. As a young man, he flirted with Lita and scolded her. Even if Ethan did that, he could still open and turn a blind eye.
Only now did he realize: Not only was his stance not firm, but he was also blindly indulgent and partial towards Alex. How could all of this harm to Lita's mother and son be so severe!
"Big brother, don't say that... It's all in the past! Alex and I... are not suitable for each other. I was selfish and wanted to leave Lisbon secretly with the child in my belly..."
As she spoke, Lita fell silent.
There was no point in saying these things now.
Everything could only blame himself for not being able to catch Alex's eye.
She couldn't blame anyone!
"Big brother, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I haven't drunk the mushroom mushroom soup in this bottle, I'll feed it to you."
Lita ladled out a little mushroom soup from the thermos bottle and used his lips to test the temperature. "I just so happen to have a taste of it."
However, Ethan did not drink the mushroom soup he fed to Ethan's mushrooms growing on her lips.
"Lita, drink it yourself. You and the child need nutrition! I've already eaten it."
In the morning, Ethan's meals were brightened by her. Until now, he hadn't breathed a drop of water. His body was weak and needed more nutrition, but Ethan was no longer cherishing his life.
"Anyway, I'm dying. What's the point of wasting my food?"
"I don't believe it! I promised him that I would take good care of you!"
Lita insisted on holding the spoon next to Ethan's mouth.
He was so gentle and persistent again!
Lita was always like this: She could use the most simple and honest movements to touch the softest part of a person's heart.
Unable to resist Lita's insistence, Ethan finally opened his mouth and drank the mushroom mushroom soup that Lita had fed to his mouth.
"Lita, you're too kind! Good is rewarded with good. You and the child will be safe."
After a short pause, Ethan added meaningfully, "Alex will choose you and your son."
Lita felt a twinge of pain in her heart. "Because she knows that Alex will never choose them."
Not just a few days ago, Alex had made a choice between her and Ethan. More than that, she knew that man!
"Big brother, don't worry about who Alex will choose. Let's eat until we are full."
Lita forced herself to smile and continued feeding Ethan with the mushroom soup, and then separated the mushroom into a small part and put it into his mouth.
"The child is almost four months old, isn't it?" Ethan asked again.
Lita nodded. "In another six months, he will be able to come out and call you Eldest Uncle. As his Eldest Uncle, you mustn't abandon him!"
"Silly girl, how can I dislike my nephew? I'm almost mad with joy when I know that you're pregnant with a promising child!"
Ethan's joy-filled words comforted Lita and made her sad.
The eldest uncle of the child could be so happy with the gestation of the child's child, but the child's father...
He hoped that the little thing in his stomach would not cause any trouble for Alex's choice.
But Lydia also wanted to live!
She also wanted the child in her belly to live!
"Elder brother, if the child in my belly can be born safely, I will treat him as your son, okay? The doctor said it's a boy! He has developed very well!"
Lita said with tears on her face.
Ethan was a little surprised, and then he smiled and said, "Don't you have Alex as your father? Why do you want to be my son? Isn't it good to call me uncle?"
"I...I'm sorry." Lita was a little nervous.
Even if she and the child in her stomach could escape from the river bank, they couldn't escape Alex's reprimand and coercion, could they?
"Don't worry, you and the child will be safe and sound!"
Ethan comforted the uneasy Lita.
"Remember to have a good time with him. He's bad-tempered, and you should follow him. Don't be afraid of that kid. He's just a paper tiger! When he was a child, he was as filthy as a cow, but he was still tamed by me, wasn't he?"
If there was only Lita and her son left to choose, Alex didn't have to make a decision.
Ethan's smile was soft and peaceful.
He could also leave with peace of mind since he had two family members with his younger brother!
