Concerned

"I feel a little dizzy, Uncle...."

Zarius whispered weakly. His eyes were already heavy and half closed. His breath was ragged and ragged. He had been holding back the pain ever since. But apparently, Zarius' body couldn't stand the pain any more than this. He had reached his limit.

Mr. Reno didn't do much, he knew that Eric was still watching them at this time. Mr. Reno instead sat on the grassy ground, right in front of the body of Zarius who was limply asleep on the long chair.

Mr. Reno's hand trembled and reached out to caress the tip of Zarius' head.

"Does it hurt, Son?" Mr. Reno asked a ridiculous question. Even without answering, he should have known that the teenager was in great pain at this time. However, Mr. Reno prefers to keep his son's feelings. But, he was also very worried about Zarius as well actually.

Zarius held Mr. Reno's hand which was on his head. He nodded with a smile. He was grateful that Mr. Reno was still there, so he didn't languish in this strange place like a lost child.

However, Zarius actually knew that Mr. Rendi was doing this by force. Zarius did intend to leave this house if his condition improved.

Even though Zarius didn't remember anything about his identity, other than his name being Zarius, he didn't want to trouble the Yudhisthira family. Moreover, Eric showed his distaste for Zarius openly.

"May I hug you, Son? You remind me of my oldest son." Mr. Reno asked, slowly. He realized that his youngest son was no longer in the kitchen, so Mr. Reno wanted to give Zarius a little warmth.

Seeing Zarius' shocked face, Mr. Rendi knew that this was very sudden. He had never acted like that before. Just now, the one who hugged first was Zarius.

But now, Mr. Reno wanted to hug the light-bodied teenager very tightly. Mr. Reno didn't know why, he wanted it.

"Of course, Uncle." Zarius answered quietly, still breathing heavily. Zarius sat up with a limp and began to wrap his arms around Mr. Reno, who was standing on his knees at this time.

And that was the hug that Zarius had been missing for so long. Especially from the people he loves. Although Zarius doesn't have any memory of his previous life, but Zarius knows that there must be someone he loves.

Zarius really misses the people he cares about, who don't know where they are right now. And Zarius also doesn't know who the people he loves are.

Even though he had also received a hug from Mr. Reno, but this time it felt very different.

His current position was reversed. Mr. Reno who hugged Zarius' thin body. And Zarius is in charge of giving his warmth to Mr. Reno.

Zarius embraced Mr. Reno's sturdy body even though his body was very weak. He felt that the grown man was carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders.

This was the warmest hug that Mr. Reno had ever felt. He has a demanding son and never understands Mr. Reno's predicament. Although Eric never demanded material things, Eric always demanded that Mr. Reno return to being warm like before. A father figure who loves his children. Since Rafael's death, Mr. Reno has been drinking and ignoring Eric.

So, when he was with Zarius like this, Mr. Reno felt that the teenager was indeed very similar to Rafael, his son who disappeared and was declared dead.

Mr. Reno even thought and cursed at Zarius's family, who would surely regret wasting a child as good as Zarius.

Mr. Reno was naive and didn't know the real story.
