  "What…?" Huo Ling muttered under his breath as he looked at the strange doctor in aghast.

  "Don't just jump to conclusions." Jiang Ce said as he looked at Huo Ling's bewildered eyes. Huo Ling is easy to read from his expressions and his clear and expressive eyes that give away his thoughts. "Indeed, you were made out of an accident between your mother Hao Ning and your father – him." He said, a shadow of a bitter smile can be seen on his lips. "It happened when your mother Hao Ning entered her heat that she has been suppressing since a long, long time." He explained. "The longer she delays her heat, the stronger she suppresses it, the greater the backlash on her – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually." He shook his head out of pity. Then, he looked at them and saw their silence. A smile formed on his lips. "As you all have guessed, I love him, and he also loves me." the 'he' he was referring to, there's no need to guess…… He's undoubtedly Harry Jackson – Harry Walter's most successful clone and is Huo Ling's father.

  "You…" Hao Baiyun said and paused. He actually doesn't know what to say. His aunt had stolen someone's man. Although it wasn't intentional, but it is still awkward facing that someone she had stolen from. "… sorry." He told Jiang Ce. No matter what, Hao Ning is his relative. A relative's actions, no matter right or wrong, are reflected on their relative.

  "There's no need." Jiang Ce told Hao Baiyun. "I don't blame her." he smiled. "The three of us are friends. Saving lives is my profession, and I also don't want her to die as her friend. Thus, that happened." He explained. Then, he turned to Huo Ling who was silently listening on the side before he suddenly grinned. "He can't bear to see me holding someone in my arms – be it a man or a woman. That's why he volunteered to solve Hao Ning's heat." He said and paused. "He… is possessive." His eyes bent into crescents when he remembered how 'he' begged him to always maintain a two-meter distance from Hao Ning as if Hao Ning has an infectious disease. However, in the end, to avoid him from touching anyone aside from 'him', 'he' bit the bullet and helped Hao Ning.

  After that happened, 'he' immediately went out right after he had did it with Hao Ning. He can see 'his' disgusted expression as 'he' touched Hao Ning. You could say, 'he' hated Hao Ning out of jealousy she might steal him from 'him'. However, when Huo Ling was born, 'he' finally accepted Hao Ning as a friend.

  Everyone. "…" what the hell. Why do they need to be fed by dog food?!

  Huo Ling. "…" was it really his father the one being talked about here? He felt his three views were destroyed.

  Jiang Ce cleared his throat when he saw their dark face. He continued. "Thus, he became Hao Ning's mate. As a doctor, I can't let someone die, and Hao Ning is my friend, too." He said. "Thus, you were made." He looked at Huo Ling. "Although it was an accident, he and Hao Ning loves you. After all, you're their flesh and blood. The three of you are a family, except your parents only treated each other as friends than lovers." He explained and smiled. "Hao Ning of course knows our relationship, since she was the one who made us realize it. Even if a fox could only have one mate, but Hao Ning never needed one." He said and paused. If not for her heat, I doubt Hao Ning wanted to conceive a child. He thought. However, the moment Huo Ling was born, Hao Ning became better. "She truly loves you." He told Huo Ling.

  There's no need to doubt. Hao Ning's power were all passed on to Huo Ling. "I know." Huo Ling said as he remembered his mother's gentle smile.

  The tension was gone and was replaced by warmth. This warmth was coming from Huo Ling. Huo Ling was immersed in happiness after knowing more about his parents. No need to resent Harry Jackson for failing as a husband. Harry Jackson, since the beginning, was Jiang Ce's.

  "Wait." He said when he remembered something. "What do you mean about that man – " he almost bit his tongue. He is obviously referring to Harry Walter. " – killing my father?" he asked.

  "Ah. Harry Walter." The smile on Jiang Ce's face disappeared. Who wouldn't be mad if your lover was killed?

  "So…?" was it really Harry Walter who killed Harry Jackson? Huo Ling turned to Yi Bing who was also waiting for Jiang Ce's answer.

  Jiang Ce didn't make them wait for long. "He was made from Harry Walter's flesh, blood and soul." He said. "The soul of Harry Walter in him was Harry Walter's remaining humanity. The flesh and blood make up for his body." he explained. "Of course, it was only a portion of each. Thus, he naturally 'grew up' slower than a normal human's. However, he's more humane than the entirety of the Walter family. He's even more humane than I am." He sighed in lament before his face turned grim. "Of course, since he's not completely a human, even if his growth is slower, but his lifespan naturally is shorter." He said.

  They fell into silence. From here, they can guess what happened next.

  "His body naturally deteriorated." Jiang Ce said. "Every day, he has to secretly take medicine that nourished blood in order for you not to see he is 'ill'." He told Huo Ling. "Even Hao Ning's precious medicines all went to his stomach. Fortunately, it prolonged his life. However…" he frowned. "Harry Walter came." He said.

  Their eyes widened in shock. The villain appeared?! They all immediately conjured countless dog blood drama of love and hate between Harry Walter and Jiang Ce. Hey, even though Harry Jackson is a different 'entity', but technically, he and Harry Walter are one person.

  "Initially, I don't have any idea about his situation. It was until Harry Walter appeared in my doorstep that I found out he was sick." Jiang Ce bitterly smiled. "I checked my inventory. And it's true – he was dying." He bit his lip.

  "Jiang Ce…" they called as they looked at him in sympathy. Such a BE! Return this script to the author!

  (The author: I'll really change it and make everyone die to accompany Harry Jackson. *smile)

  "Naturally, his lifespan as a human ended. But, I didn't notice he was contaminated by the monsters." Jiang Ce gnashed his teeth.

  "'contaminated'?" they grasped the keyword.

  "Yes. He wasn't possessed, but he was contaminated." Jiang Ce said as his face turned cold. "Harry Walter gave him the virus." He told them.

  "WHAT?!" such an abusive relationship! They were harming each other!

  "I couldn't save him…" Jiang Ce balled his fists.

  "Jiang Ce…" Huo Ling sighed. He looked at Yi Bing and Yi Bing's expression, as expected, is heavy. Even if Harry Jackson was just a clone, but it was still a life.

  "I'm sorry." Jiang Ce said and sadly smiled.

  Everyone's expression turned downcast. "Wait." Di San spoke. "Earlier, you said you wanted for Huo Ling to meet his father, that's why you wanted him to be resurrected." He said. "However…" this inside story…


  "Oh. That." Jiang Ce said as his eyes suddenly were filled with killing intent. "Indeed, I wanted Huo Ling to be resurrected and meet his father." He said. "I wanted him to meet Harry Walter and kill him." He told them.

  "… ah." they muttered. So that was it. They thought. It was indeed a love and hate relationship.

  That bastard! Jiang Ce thought. "You should know, when one dies he becomes a ghost." He said.

  "… ah." they said when they finally remembered. Since Harry Jackson died, shouldn't he turn to a ghost like Huo Ling? They thought as they looked at Huo Ling before they turned to Jiang Ce. … there's another story, isn't there?

  "His soul…" Jiang Ce said as his eyes turned red because he was holding back his tears. "Harry Walter took it back." He said, his voice hoarse that it's almost inaudible.

  Poor Jiang Ce… his gong left him and returned to his (gong) main body. However, his gong's personality would definitely change since his gong's main body is a villain!

  (The author: *cries. Why am I abusing myself?)

  "Then, my father…" Huo Ling said. His eyes lit up from hope.

  However, Jiang Ce shook his head. "I returned to the Walter family." He said. "I tried to make a deal with Harry Walter. I will resume my job in exchange for 'his' soul. However…" he said as his face darkened.

  Naturally, Harry Walter didn't agree. In the first place, it has been his soul. So why should someone take it from him? Take it 'back'? He is the owner, so why should it be taken from him? Why should he give what's his to them?

  Humans are greedy thieves. For their own convenience, they only know how to plunder others.
