Nathaniel came back after making arrangements for three children. After all, Mango was in her confinement period, so he was somewhat worried even though the midwife was around. Priscilla couldn't help but think of Tristan when she saw Nathaniel's nervousness. If he was still alive, she didn't know what would happen at this time.

Priscilla's heart involuntarily ached when she thought of this.

Genevieve entered just in time as she caught up with the three of them. Mango and Nathaniel's bodies stiffened a little when they saw her.

"How was it?"

There was a hint of tremor in Mango's voice.

Genevieve gave the data to them and said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with their blood. It's normal, and there's nothing strange with the general examination."

Nathaniel and Mango looked at the data and heaved a sigh of relief.

"In that case, how could the child be blue-eyed?"

Mango asked in confusion.

Genevieve shook her head and said, "Desmond gave you only one drop of his blood, and the violent gene factor in his body wasn't activated at that time. His blood composition was mainly made up of medicine, so it should only give the child some benefits. Besides, this data shows that the children are all right. As for the colour of his eyes, is there anyone with blue eyes in your family? Maybe it has something to do with inheritance."

Nathaniel quickly shook his head when he heard Genevieve's words and said, "No, the Ye family has never had mixed bloodlines."

Mango shook her head.

"The Hans and Xiao family have never heard of any mixed-race members as well."

Since it was not because of Desmond's blood, nor was it hereditary, then why would the child have blue eyes?

Genevieve couldn't figure it out either.

When Priscilla saw that they were feeling a little depressed, she quickly got up and said, "I will go back to the hotel first. Since this matter has nothing to do with Desmond, I don't think the superiors will keep you here. I will pack up your things and prepare to go home Tomorrow. No matter how good it feels here, you'll still feel more comfortable at home, isn't it?" "Well, okay."

Mango smiled and Priscilla left.

After that, Genevieve told Nathaniel and the others what the higher-ups had done.

Mango was a little angry, and Nathaniel did not feel good either.

"I'll take care of it."

Nathaniel said and walked out of the ward.

Mango didn't stop him as she could more or less guess what Nathaniel wanted to do.

Nathaniel took the phone to a quiet place and directly called Carlson.

"Nathaniel? I haven't congratulated you on the birth of your sons. Congratulations."

"Thank you, Master Mo."

Nathaniel's voice was a little low, which suddenly made Carlson stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to retire."

Nathaniel's words shocked Carlson.

"What did you say?"

Nathaniel said word by word, "I want to retire. If possible, I'll settle the formalities later."

"Nonsense!"

Carlson immediately grew angry.

"Who are you? Don't you know how much effort you put into this? Why are you making trouble for me now?"

Nathaniel did not react much to Carlson's anger and he said calmly, "I have already decided."

"Why on earth?"

Carlson didn't really understand. Nathaniel wouldn't have waited until now if he really wanted to retire, so Carlson was a little surprised.

Nathaniel just explained, "I've been tired after doing this for so many years, and I want to rest. I'll hand over all the secret guards of the Ye family and all the people in the Dark Night Empire. From now on, I only want to be an ordinary person."

"What? You have been struggling to obtain this position, but you actually want to be an ordinary person now? Nathaniel, are you doing this because of the isolation and the investigation? This is my father's order. I have tried my best to make an exception, I..."

"Master Mo, I appreciate everything you have done for me, but I really don't want to stay in the military area. I want to live a peaceful life."

Nathaniel's insistence made Carlson stop talking and he directly hung up the phone. Nathaniel knew that he was angry.

Nathaniel understood Carlson because they've been comrades for many years, but he had decided to go.

Regardless of what happened to his two sons, he only hoped that they could grow up happily. There were many outstanding individuals in the military region who were fighting for the country, but he only wanted to focus on Mango and his children right now. He really didn't want to deal with everything else.

After Carlson hung up the phone, he shouted to the people outside and a military officer ran in quickly.

"Master Mo, what can I do for you?"

"Go to find out what happened to Nathaniel in the military hospital."

Carlson rubbed his temples.

His position and identity made him have very few comrades. He thought Nathaniel could accompany him to the end, but he didn't expect that the latter would leave. Carlson was very agitated.

The military staff knew about what happened, so they told Carlson about it.

Carlson's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"You mean that my father suspects that Nathaniel's youngest son has Desmond's genes?"

"Yes, my lord."

Carlson was infuriated by the words of the official. He kicked his chair hard and made a crash, which made the official tremble in silence.

Carlson pushed open the door and went out to his father's office.

There were other people in the office and they were stunned when they saw Carlson suddenly barge in. At that moment, his father's expression became extremely grim. "Do you know the rules?"

"Get out of here!"

There was a hint of coldness in Carlson's voice.

Brenson's face darkened when he saw that his son had not given him any respect in front of outsiders.

"How dare you?!"

"If all of you don't go out now, I'll make sure to get rid of you."

Carlson had always been arrogant even when he was a soldier, but his capability was worthy of admiration.

The few people looked at the older man, who also understood his son's bad temper. Even though he was angry and dissatisfied, he waved his hand and got them to leave. Then, he closed the doors behind him.

When Carlson and Brenson were left in the room, his father looked at him helplessly and said, "What's wrong with you again? Don't you know who you are now? You have to have virtues. Look at yourself now!"

"Are you going to keep Nathaniel's son detained?"

Carlson didn't care about what his father said and directly asked.

His father frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry about this."

"What? Dad, have you forgotten who saved my life?"

Carlson was about to explode.

His father frowned and said softly, "That's an entirely different matter. There's a high possibility that his son has Desmond's genes. What if he becomes the Desmond?"

"So? What do you mean? Are you going to find an excuse to kill the child and put an end to future troubles?"

Carlson's words were extremely rude. It was as if he was shooting a bullet through his father's heart, which made the older man extremely angry.

"What are you talking about! I'm doing this for..."

"Bullshit!"

Carlson cursed.

"How can a newborn be a threat? We have so many people under us and so many scientists. Are they all completely useless? Aren't you afraid that you'll be the laughing stock because you're scared of a newborn? Besides, the data clearly states that there is no problem with the child, and the two children are all right! Why do you want to take away their lives? Why?!"

Brenson became so angry that his eyes bulged.

"Carlson, are you crazy? Don't you know what kind of family you live in? What have you learned since you were a primary school? We have chosen to be responsible for the safety of so many people. There can't be any mistakes."

"So? Can you sacrifice an innocent child because of that? You sacrificed my mother for the safety of so many people as well, right?"

Tears suddenly filled the Carlson's eyes.

His father suddenly stopped.

He looked at his son and suddenly realized that his wife's death was perhaps an unresolved matter between him and Carlson.

He had always thought that the Carlson had grown up and that he would understand after he gained some experience. However, it now seemed that Carlson still did not understand. "Carlson, you've really disappointed me."

"What about you? Did you live up to my expectations? If it wasn't because for the biological knowledge, do you think I would be willing to stay with you? You always think that all your decisions are right, and you never accept other people's opinions. Back then, my mother could have other ways to solve her problem, but you would rather use the most direct and cruel way to solve it!"

"That is the fastest and most effective way! I have to ensure the safety of the hostage!"

Brenson's heart started to hurt.

They were talking about his dead wife, so how could he not be distressed?

He had been worthy of his position and everyone for so many years, except for his wife.

The matter had been filling him with guilt for so many years and he couldn't let it go. Now that he heard his son's accusation, his heart could not bear it any longer.

Carlson didn't pity him at all. He sneered and said, "The safety of the hostage? You value the life of the hostages, but my mother is worthless to you, isn't it? In fact, you could hold the kidnappers back at that time. You didn't have to sacrifice my mother, but you ignored the life and death of your wife and children to save time and ensure the safety of the hostage you mentioned. Do you think you're commendable because you want to hurt a newborn child with such a righteous reason? You really make me feel sick. If I need to be so ruthless when I take over your position, I'd rather not do it!"

After that, Carlson directly pulled down the armlet on his shoulder and threw it on the table. He said coldly, "I will take Nathaniel and his family out of the Santell Capital. I want to see who dares to stop us. For the sake of your so-called righteousness, you can shoot me. Anyway, you have already sacrificed your wife, and you don't have to care about your son!"

Carlson turned to leave after he said that and his father's heart was broken. Then, the older man fell onto his chair with a thud as he was filled with guilt and sadness.

Did he really do something wrong?

Prevention was better than cure, so was he wrong to save so many lives?
