•THIRD PERSON•

The day has passed in the Mizuno residence and finally, Zachrey's father, Richard Mizuno has arrived.

"Richard, I'm glad you arrived!" His wife, Bernadeth greeted him with utter excitement.

They embraced each other. Her husband was the first one to break it.

"Where's Zachrey? I need to talk to him right now," Richard said with full of authority, but Bernadeth stopped him.

"Not just yet. Why don't you relax for a moment first?" She smiled at him. "Come, let's have breakfast together. I'll call Zachrey."

Bernadeth accompanied her husband to their kitchen, and after preparing for breakfast, she went up to get her son.

"Zachrey?" She knocked on the door. "Your dad has arrived. Come down now, let's have our breakfast together."

"Okay, Ma. I'll just get changed and I'll be following you right after," Zachrey answered.

While on the table, Richard was composing words on what he should say to Zachrey. It was to prevent any violent reactions coming from his son that he had not seen for quite some time because of his work abroad. He fully understands that his son grew up without him and his wife by his side. Moreover, he does not know how to handle teenagers nowadays for it is very different from their time.

When Zachrey came down, he saw his dad waiting patiently on the table.

"Pa?"

His dad turned to face him.

"Zachrey, my son!" He quickly stood up and embraced his son so tight. "You're a grown-up man. You're so tall now. Frankly speaking, I never noticed my son was already coming of age." Richard pulled away and looked at his son closely.

"Yes, because you were always not here during my childhood. You and mom were always busy with your work," Zachrey said. "and I understand completely that you're just doing all of this for my sake."

His mother and father both went silent, and before they could answer him, Zachrey added something else to say.

"I still remember the time that I celebrated my birthdays with only my grandma with a few of my friends gathered around me. I used to envy my friends, especially Cj and my classmates at school during special occasions, they have their parents with them to celebrate." He took a deep breath and continued. "When they are sick, even for just a simple fever, they have their parents beside them. I have nothing, but at least I have Grandma and Cj."

To prevent an early heated discussion, Bernadeth stopped Zachrey and said, "Come, let's talk later. We have all day, but breakfast doesn't."

"Yes, right," his father seconded.

Breakfast happened without any further incident.

A day before, back at the hospital, Xiamin's parents were preparing to check her out.

"Are those two not here, yet?" Andrea curiously asked Scott.

"Cj already texted me, and he said that their coming. They just had some errands to attend to," Scott answered, and Andrea just nodded.
