703 Ethan's Troubling Thoughts and Doubts

Day Seventy-Five...

"My grandson... are you sure you are just five years old? You are smarter than your father." Old Man Xu praised his grandson.

But because of his words, Ethan started to think of the things that had been troubling him ever since he met Monica.

"Grandpa, since I'm smart... my mother and my father should also be smart because I inherit their genes," Ethan said, seeking his grandfather's affirmation.

"Of course, my grandson. Why did you ask? Do you have some doubts?" Old Man Xu put on a puzzled look on his face.

"Grandpa... do you believe in parent and child bond?" Ethan answered Old Man Xu with another question.

"Yes, I believe in that." Old Man Xu promptly responded.

"Do you feel it when you met Uncle Vincent?" Ethan asked again with his innocent eyes.

Old Man Xu blinked several times, trying to figure out his feelings. He reminisced about his first meeting with Vincent when his mother brought him to him.

"I think I felt it... however, I ignored it because I was in denial. I couldn't accept that I impregnated her... and she bore a son. I refused to believe them and pushed them away. Yeah... I think I chose to abandon them because I didn't want my beloved woman to hate me." Old Man Xu became truthful to his grandson.

Little Ethan bobbed his head as if he understood his grandfather. But something was still bothering him.

"Grandpa, do you think... there is a possibility that I have a different mother?" Ethan raised this question innocently.

Old Man Xu blinked in awe when he heard him. "Eh? Hmm... as far as I remember... your father only slept with one woman... and that woman was Monica, your mother. Why do you ask, my dear grandson?"

'Sigh, I really hope that you have a different mother: Old Man Xu added in his thoughts but he didn't voice them out.

"It's because... I couldn't feel any maternal bond whenever I was with her. I feel more connected to Miss Jane, rather than my biological mother. I can't explain this feeling, but... I can't figure out why I feel empty."

"But whenever I am with Miss Jane, I feel secure. My heart is jumping with joy and excitement. I am so happy and I always want to be with her. Why am I feeling this, grandfather? Why can't I feel any maternal bond from my own mother?" Little Ethan questioned his feelings. He raised his concern with his grandfather, opening up with him.

Meanwhile, the old man was stupefied by the little boy's statement. He was confused for a moment.

"What do you mean by that, Ethan? Have you met your mother? Isn't she dead? You were just three years old when she died. That might be the reason why you didn't feel any maternal bond with your mother." Old Man Xu was still clueless about Helena's real identity.

"Grandpa... my mother is alive. She became Helena Carlsen. My Dad didn't inform you about this?" Ethan revealed the truth to his grandfather.

"What?! That woman is still alive?! Then who died on her behalf? An impostor?" Old Man Xu couldn't believe it. He didn't see this coming. "Did she fake her death?" the old man failed to hide his true emotions. He was utterly shocked and disappointed.

'Damn! That woman continued playing with my son's feelings!' Old Man Xu clenched his fist tightly. He was angry at Monica. But he felt upset because Nathan left him in the dark. He never shared this important information with him.

"Probably, Grandpa. My biological mother and Uncle Vincent are dating. I believe... they schemed together against my father... and this ploy is part of Uncle Vincent's revenge. He wants my father to suffer emotionally and psychologically." Little Ethan expressed his thoughts and assumptions.

Old Man Xu was rendered speechless. He didn't expect that this young kid could see this kind of perspective. Despite his young age, Ethan had a wider view of the situation. He was acting like an adult. "Why do you know all of this, Ethan? At your age, you shouldn't be minding an adult's business or meddle with the adult's concerns. 

You should enjoy your childhood!" Old Man Xu was afraid that this had negative effects on Ethan.

"Grandpa... I can't ignore this. I can't turn a blind eye to this. My father and Miss Jane are very important to me. I can't help but be worried about them. I just want them to be happy. And when it comes to them, I always want to be involved. I love them. I want to protect them... even if I have to fight my own mother and my uncle."

Old Man Xu: "..."

"This smart kid... I don't know what I should do to him. Just a while ago, he encouraged me to fix my relationship with Vincent. But now, he is telling me that he will fight Vincent and Monica for the sake of Nathan and Jane!

"Sigh!" Old Man Xu took a deep breath. He moved closer to Ethan and held his shoulder. "Don't worry too much about Nathan and Jane. You said they were a power couple. My grandson... let them deal with the adult's stuff. Okay?" Old Man Xu didn't want Ethan to dwell on this matter further. The adults should be dealing with this concern, not this little innocent child.

"And when it comes to your maternal bond... I don't have an answer to that. But if you doubt your connection with Monica, we can always verify this. All we have to do is conduct a DNA test with your sample and her sample. Do you want me to help you with that?" Old Man Xu suggested.

But Little Ethan pouted his lips. "Grandpa... I already did it. Our DNAs mat-" Ethan stopped midway when a realization came to him.

'Oh right. My DNA test result together with Uncle Vincent is also positive. They matched! However, there is a possibility they tampered with the result once again because my Dad confirmed my connection with Uncle Vincent through another DNA test!

'If that is the case... I believe... there is a chance that they tampered with the result of the other DNA... making me believe that Monica is truly my mother. What ifβ€” What if she is not really my mother?'

"Grandson? Are you okay? What are you thinking?" Old Man Xu asked him as Ethan seemed so distracted.

"Grandpa! You are right! We should check and verify again." Ethan blurted out eagerly.

"Okay, Grandson. Leave this to me. I'll do this for you." Old Man Xu reassured Ethan.

"Grandpa, can you also include Miss Jane's DNA?" Ethan requested him, his eyes filled with anticipation. 

"Sure, Grandson. I'll do that. There is no harm in trying. I'll help you find the truth." Old Man Xu patted Ethan's shoulder as he stroked his hair.

"Thank you, Grandpa! Now, let's eat!" The young boy finally gained his appetite.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Jane finally arrive at the mansion together. Jane encouraged Nathan to talk to his father and hear his explanation regarding Vincent. Nathan agreed and obeyed Jane's suggestion. He would try to listen to his father, without jumping to conclusions. He needed to hear his father's side of the story.
