NovelEnglishMomentarily taken aback, Mike nodded and stood up.
"Yeah, you're right.
My son is much tougher than me!" "Do you know in which aspect?" Dominic asked, baffling not just Mike but also Alexander and
Austin, who shared a look.
Mike shook his head.
"I guess in every aspect." "It's the mindset,” Dominic shook his head and said meaningfully, "Your son has a better mindset than
you.
I've met many people, but rarely anyone like him.” Dominic continued sympathetically, "The situation is hard to bear, let alone for
a child.
He's something else—I'll give him that." Mike let out a half-smile after hearing the old man’s praise as if he was seeing his son
now.
"Yeah, Nicky has always been a sensible boy.
Many people say he's too mature to be a child." Mike’s smile slowly faded as he continued, "Sometimes I wish he could be more
childlike.
It's my fault for not being around for him much." Since Nick had always been with his mother in the past, Mike wished he could
spend more time with his son if he had the chance.
“Hey, quit dwelling on what could've been because we can't do it all over again.
If your son could move on and is now doing his best to stay alive, how can you be such a wimp?" Dominic asked.
Stumped, Mike gradually grew calmer.
He nodded and said, " You're right.
I was too emotional..
I should pull myself together for my son!" Dominic looked at him deeply, sighing.
"I didn't mean to criticize you, but we shouldn't waste time feeling sorry for ourselves.
We still have to stop the experiment, don't we?" “Not unless we can change Queen Yasmin's mind." Alexander shook his head.
"We thought about it before." "Yes, it's indeed hard to change that old gal's mind," Dominic said with a sigh.
After talking to her a few times, he seemed to have swayed her.
Still, something would crop up during a turning point and spoil his efforts.
Dominic then shook his head and noticed the trio looking at him funny.
He blinked in puzzlement, asking, “What? Did I say something funny?” “No, not at all!” The trio coughed, thinking only Dominic
would dare call the queen an old gal.
"Let's talk inside," Austin quickly said, not wanting to keep the old man standing.
They then moved into the mansion.
Dominic quickly sat down and leaned back, looking tired.
Alexander gently asked, “Would you like to take a nap first?” The old man glared at him.
"I'm starving! Can I at least eat first?"
