Fourth spent a day in the hospital for observation, and once it was confirmed there were no other issues, she was
discharged.
On the way back, Hugo was driving, occasionally glancing in the rearview mirror at the two people in the backseat. Fourth
was clinging to Scarlett like a koala, being adorably clingy.
“Scarlett, it’s been so long since you held me like this!” Fourth said softly, leaning against her.
“You haven’t been this clingy in a while either!” Scarlett replied.
“I’m not being clingy. I’m sick and need loving hugs to get better!” Fourth insisted.
Scarlett knew that Fourth was acting this way because of Hugo. Little girls could be a bit clingy, and that was okay.
Thinking about it, Scarlett smiled and pulled her closer. “Alright, here’s your loving hug!”
Fourth hadn’t been this close to Scarlett in a long time and was thoroughly enjoying it. She smiled contentedly and,
seeing Hugo’s eyes in the mirror, lazily said, “Daddy, are you jealous that I get such loving hugs?”
It was meant as a tease. After Fourth’s words hung in the air, Scarlett glanced up, her eyes meeting Hugo’s. Their gazes
locked, creating an indescribable mix of complexity and ambiguity.
Scarlett then lowered her eyes, shifting her gaze away.
At that moment, Hugo smirked and spoke softly, “Hmm, I’m quite envious!”
Fourth raised an eyebrow. Was Dad really playing along now?
With a playful smile, she continued to tease, “So, are you jealous of Mom hugging me like that, or are you jealous of me
hugging Mom like that?”
“Is there a difference?” Scarlett asked.
“Of course there is!” Fourth replied, then looked at Hugo.

He didn’t hold back and said directly, “Of course, I’m envious of you having such loving hugs with your mom!”
Fourth pouted, “Dad, you’ve changed.”
Hugo laughed, his gaze turning deep as he looked at Scarlett.
Scarlett listened but said nothing, gazing out the window, pretending not to understand.
At home.
First was chatting online with Kun.
“Red Mark Base? That’s a weird name for an organization.”
“Doesn’t it sound like a rebel group?” Kun asked.
“Totally has that vibe!” First replied.
Kun continued, “Even though the organization isn’t as powerful as it used to be, they’re still not to be underestimated. I heard they’re involved in some special deals lately, and there’s a shipment that needs to be transferred. The location is
Port City.”
Upon hearing this, First squinted his eyes. “In Port City?”
“Uh–huh!”
First stared at the computer, lost in thought.
Seeing that First had gone silent, Kun had a bad feeling. “First, don’t tell me you’re cooking up some crazy idea!”
First responded to Kun’s message, “Wow, you can read minds from afar now!”
“I’m not reading anything! You better put those weird ideas away. If you intercept their shipment, it’ll start a war!”
“Who said I was going to intercept their shipment?”

“Then what are you planning?” Kun asked.
“I haven’t decided yet. I’ll just go check it out and see what happens.”

“First, I’m not joking around. These people are not ordinary. They have no compassion for others. If they notice you, they’ll
deal with you on the spot!” Kun warned.
“If you put it that way, I’m even more curious to check it out!” First said.
Kun was speechless.
Is this what men are like?
Born with a desire to conquer and rebel?
The more you tell them not to do something, the more they want to do it?
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!” First assured.
“And how can you guarantee that?” Kun asked.
“My integrity!”
“Say something you actually have!”
First paused, “My manners are keeping me from swearing!”
As they were bantering, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from outside.
Then Fourth’s voice followed, and First knew they were back.
Startled, First quickly said, “That’s it for today, my mom’s back, I gotta go.”
Kun was baffled, “Mom?”
Seeing Kun’s message, First hesitated for a moment. He had spoken too quickly, out of habit.
But knowing Scarlett Adler was back, he didn’t have time to explain and logged off immediately.

Kun stared at the computer screen, pondering the word “mom” coming from a tall, muscular guy. He couldn’t help but
shiver.
He was increasingly suspicious that First might be a bit of a weirdo.
Calling her “mom” was just too cringe–worthy!
Shutting down the computer, First walked out.
By this time, they had already entered the room.
Hugo was with them. First nodded at him, then turned to Scarlett and Fourth.
“Scarlett, Fourth, you’re back!” First said.
Scarlett nodded at him and asked, “Where’s Second?”
“Probably sleeping in his room!” First replied.
Fourth frowned upon hearing this. “Knowing I’m back, and he doesn’t come out? I’m going to get him!”
With that, she headed straight for Second’s room.
First followed her.
In the living room, only Scarlett and Hugo remained.
“I’m going to change clothes. Make yourself at home,” Scarlett said.
Hugo nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I won’t be shy!”
Judging by his comfortable demeanor, he certainly wouldn’t be.
Scarlett didn’t mind and went to her room.
She had just changed and was planning to take a shower when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Scarlett

frowned and walked out. “What’s going on?”

As soon as the door opened, Hugo emerged from the room, carrying Second in his arms, looking visibly anxious.
“Second has a fever. I’m taking him to the hospital!” Hugo said.
Scarlett paused, still reeling from Fourth’s situation. She noticed Second’s pale face and sweaty forehead, and she rushed
over with concern, “How did this happen?”
“When my brother and I went into the room, Second was lying on the bed, looking pale and burning up!” Fourth said
worriedly, her eyes almost tearing up.
They had never seen Second like this before.
Scarlett approached to check on Second, but as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, he winced in pain.
Scarlett and Hugo exchanged a glance, realizing something was off.
“Second, does it hurt here?” Hugo asked.
Second was already delirious from the fever, but he kept mumbling, “Fourth, you have to find Fourth…”
Even at this moment, he was still worried about this. Fourth suddenly burst into tears. “Second Brother, I’m here, I’m
here… What’s wrong with you?” she cried.
