Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1999

Baby Zetty was not sure how many transits she had gone through. When the plane landed, Baby Zetty was dumbfounded when saw the deserted countryside in front of her.

"Great-grandma, is this Cloud City?" She heard Mommy mention Cloud City before, which she described to be a beautiful town where the flowers were in bloom all year round. It was far from the impoverished countryside in front of her.

Boye and Grandpa looked at each other. Then, Boye smiled and said, "Baby Zetty, this isn't Cloud City.

Cloud City is just a smokescreen that your daddy set up. The place we're at is Dragon Island."

Baby Zetty replied, "Oh." She then kept quiet the rest of the way.

She planned to relax. It did not matter to her whether she went to a prosperous city or a remote countryside.

However, when Boye took her home, Baby Zetty became a little nervous when she saw the experimental equipment of various shapes and materials along with the colorful test tubes.

"Great-grandma, am I going to study here?"

Boye s loving expression was replaced with a serious

one. When she spoke, her gentle voice was stern.

"Baby Zetty, starting today, you can call me 'Sir'."

Baby Zetty became flustered. She had always been a free spirit whether it came to learning and her hobbies. She did whatever she wanted according to her heart's wishes. Baby Zetty was worried that she would be uncomfortable if Boye restricted her with rules.

"Does it have to be like this, Great-grandma?"

Boye sternly said, "Baby Zetty, when you agreed to come here, you became my only disciple. I had never thought of accepting disciples in my life before this but since I've already agreed to it now, I have to do my best as your teacher. Else, you might ruin my reputation."

Baby Zetty said, "Don't worry, Great-grandma. I'll study hard." "Call me 'Sir'."

"Oh."

"I'm sure you're aware that I'm old and the end might be near for me. I must teach you everything I know in the shortest time possible. You'll also study diligently. Only when you've mastered Boye's Pulse Reading will I let you go home," Boye said.

Baby Zetty gulped and said, "How long will it take?"

Boye said, "It took me five years to finish my notes. Not only do you have to learn Boye's Pulse Reading

but also the unique techniques that I have come up with in my life. I think it'll take seven or eight years for you before you can leave."

Baby Zetty counted out loud, "Seven years... Brother Finn will be 35 years old at that time."

She shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to learn this."

Boye looked at the lovesick Baby Zetty and shook her head in disappointment.

"You only think about Brother Finn, but do you care about your daddy and mommy who went through so much for you?"

Baby Zetty was surprised. "What does me choosing not to study medicine have to do with my daddy and mommy?"

Boye said with great emphasis, "Your mommy is suffering from a mental illness. She can't be triggered, otherwise, it'll induce physical disorders, depression, and anxiety. Did you know that when your mommy got sick the last time, she was at her limit? If she relapses in the future, she won't be able to live a normal life anymore. Your task is to stretch her limit."

She paused and said, "Your daddy went through multiple organ failure. Although the situation was managed at the time, it's easy for him to relapse. If he goes through another acute failure, his life will be in danger. Baby Zetty, I'm old and can't protect them for much longer. I'm counting on you to look after them for the rest of their lives."

Baby Zetty looked at Boye in horror. She could not believe it! "No, please tell me you're lying. Greatgrandma, are you lying to me?"

Boye let out a long sigh. "Baby Zetty, I lied to your daddy and mommy, but I won't lie to you. Doctors choose to conceal the patients' condition from them in hopes that the patient can live in a happy and peaceful environment. This is conducive to treating their illnesses."

Baby Zetty burst into tears.
