Chapter 78 Destiny

If she is an Eselan, then only Aiden can be her guardian now. As an underage cub, she should follow Aiden back to the palace for both moral and logical reasons.

So An Zhi changed the question: "My parents..."

"have no idea."

Aiden answered her quickly. "But you can't escape your fate because of this."

Aiden's patience was running out. He had just dealt with Americus and was in a generally good mood.

"You have another question."

She would follow the same path as Amerys, towards the madness that was destined for Etherland.

An Zhi thought about it for a long time this time. Aiden watched the conflicted expressions on her face change over and over again, which was very vivid.

"So...did you kill him?"

Aiden quickly realized she was referring to Amer.

This was the first time someone had put a question to him so directly.

Aiden was silent for a moment, but still answered: "No, he's waiting for you outside."

An Zhi nodded, walked forward a little hesitantly, and grabbed the corner of the cloak with his little hand.

She lowered her face, and Aiden could only see a snow-white ball next to her. There was a slight, almost negligible pull on the right side of her cloak.

So this is what it feels like to have kids.

Aiden lowered his eyes for two seconds and walked out.

**

Outside the hospital, an extended black sedan was parked quietly, appearing exceptionally low-key in the night and the falling snowflakes.

The car body lines are smooth and the glass is coated with a dark coating, completely blocking the view from the outside world.

An Zhi stood by and realized that the car was taller than she had imagined, and she couldn't even reach the window.

She stood on tiptoe, trying to reach the handlebars.

Aiden Eslan stood aside and watched the little girl jump around the car. There was no expression on his face, but he still reached out to help her open the door.

An Zhi turned around, said "thank you" obediently, and then climbed into the car.

The driver started the car silently, and the black sedan drove smoothly into the snowy night.

Aiden Esserland got into the passenger seat.

From the rearview mirror, he could see the tiny figure of the cub turning its head curiously in the back seat.

An Zhi looked past the empty seats in the second row and immediately saw A'mo leaning in the corner of the last row.

A'mo changed his clothes, but it was still a black cloak. He leaned there quietly, like a sleeping sculpture.

An Zhi's eyes lit up and she wanted to sit next to A'mo.

"Sit still while we drive." Aiden Eslan's voice came from the front.

As soon as An Zhi's feet touched the ground, he silently retracted them.

The cub quickly sat up straight, put his little hands on his knees, pretended to look straight ahead, and looked well-behaved and obedient.

"Fasten your seat belts." Aiden's voice sounded again.

An Zhi pouted. She didn't like seat belts.

The automobile technology of this era is already very advanced, with the most advanced intelligent driving and multiple anti-collision functions, and the safety performance has almost reached the extreme.

An Zhi wanted to struggle: "No need to fasten the seat belt."

She pointed at A'mo in the back row.

Neither Amer nor Aiden were wearing seatbelts.

Aiden Esserland glanced at her through the rearview mirror and replied flatly, "All children must wear seat belts."

An Zhi suddenly fell silent.

She looked around and found that except for her, no one in the car, whether it was the person driving in the front or A'mo sitting in the back seat, looked like a minor.

She couldn't refute it.

As the only minor in the car who looked underage, An Zhilao obediently reached out and fastened his seat belt.

The seat belt made a soft click.

An Zhi noticed some movement around him.

No, not around her, but the leather seat beneath her. The soft seat slowly turned, and this time, An Zhi was facing the back seat completely.

An Zhi's eyes lit up again.

She was now facing A'mo, with no obstacles between them. She greeted A'mo happily.

Aiden Esseran withdrew his hand and pressed another button nearby.

Soon, the baffle rose from the middle, isolating the sound from the front and back.

An Zhi gently poked A'mo's arm.

A'mo was pretending to be asleep, but when he felt the cub's touch, he "woke up" naturally.

He stroked the soft top of the cub's head.

Then, A'mo took off his hood, revealing a young and handsome face in front of An Zhi.

He also has short black hair, but unlike Aiden, even the tips of A'mo's hair look much rounder, softening the contours of his entire face.

An Zhi looked at A'mo's face in surprise. She thought A'mo's face was the mask.

The cub's eyes fell back on his bandaged arm, worry written all over his little face.

An Zhixiao asked softly, "Are you okay?"

A'Mo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Of course it's okay."

His voice also changed, or rather, this was his original voice, no longer hoarse and unclear as before, but like a little air flow blowing into a hot air balloon, hanging in the sky and swaying.

Amer raised his arms and showed them back and forth.

Amer is telling the truth.

Thanks to his excellent self-healing ability, he now has no major problems except for a dull pain on the back of his head.

There was no need to think about it, it must have been Aiden who "conveniently" hit his head hard when he woke him up from his loss of control.

After all, this is the fastest way to do it.

A'mo didn't want to recall where he was hit this time, but it hurt anyway.

He opened his palm, and the wound on his palm that was originally cut by the tile fragments had healed, leaving only a light pink scar.

The throat lozenge that An Zhi had just given him was still lying quietly in his palm.

A'Mo winked at the little girl and said in a relaxed tone, "Eat this first. I'll find you something else to eat when we get back to the palace."

An Zhi tilted her head. Instead of taking the throat lozenge immediately, she took off her little cloak.

An Zhi's little hand rummaged under the cloak and took out a small pink bag.

She loosened the bag's ties, then lifted the two corners and shook it gently.

"Ding-ling-clang!"

There was a crisp crashing sound, and candies in bags of various colors rolled out like a small waterfall, scattering on the small table in front of them.

A'Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes.

An Zhi took out a soft marshmallow from it.

The cub generously placed the remaining candies on the small table and pushed them towards A'mo: "All for you."

A'mo picked up a bag of shiny gummy candies and turned it around suspiciously.

There were only two rows of side lights inside the car, hidden at the edge of the roof, and the surrounding area was the same dark brown interior that he had seen countless times.

At this moment, a single warm yellow light passed through the edge of the candy wrapper, and then radiated along the semi-transparent colored candy, inexplicably creating a colorful, sparkling small circle of light on the small table next to them.
