“Huh? Why?” Jamie asked in surprise.

“I know you have video calls with Robbie and Ellie every day, don’t you?” Zachary asked. “All three of you would share about every little detail. So, I guess you’ve also told them that I’ve been sick, right?”

“I-I…” Jamie hesitated.

“Well, I don’t want them to worry. So could you please keep it a secret?” Zachary rubbed his head. “That way, Daddy can seek treatment with a carefree heart. Then, we’ll go to Erihal to meet them once I get better!”

“Okay.” Jamie was convinced as he nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, Daddy, I won’t tell them a single word about this. But you have to promise me that you will recover…”

“I know.” Zachary hugged him. “Be a good boy, alright? Let’s work hard together and I’ll see you in a couple of months!”

“You got it!”
