"That's all" Will looked puzzled because if that was the case, Gilbert would have woken up ages ago.

Theo affirmed, "This psychiatric treatment requires long-term persistence. Like I said, do it daily,"

Will nodded and walked to the bedside. He placed his hand on the back of Gilbert's hand and did as he was told. However, as he spoke, he felt something was wrong. Will felt as if someone was making a fool out of him.

Theo looked serious on the surface, but he was laughing so hard in hi heart that he was almost out of breath. He was satisfied with being able to pull a prank on his brother without being discovered. He felt no one could ever outsmart him. "Hi, Grandpa, I'm your great-grandson, Will. Please, wake up" Will changed a few words without changing his expression and repeated it several times.

Meanwhile, Theo pursed his lips. 'He's quick on the uptake. This is getting boring!

At that moment, Alexis suddenly raised her voice. "Is it just me, or did anyone see Dad move his fingers?"

"What?" Jason and several doctors went forward to check. They noticed that Gilbert's hand began to move slightly.

Will could feel Gilbert's hand begin to feel warm, and he felt the warmth flow from Gilbert's palm to his heart. It was a comfortable feeling.

Meanwhile, Alexis and Jason were overjoyed. 'Dr. Chatterly, is he about to wake up?"

Theo checked Gilbert's pulse and shook his head. "Not anytime soon, I'm afraid. Mr. McDaniel has been unconscious for too long. We need to be patient."

"Regardless, this is a good sign. It means that the patient's senses are gradually recovering. Moreover, this is only the second time you performed your treatment, Dr. Chatterly. This is a monumental achievement," An attending doctor praised. Alexis and Jason looked grateful. Thank you, Dr. Chatterly, We are grateful to have met you. Specifically, they were grateful they didn't chase him away because of his age. Otherwise, Gilbert's state would only get worse. Thinking of this, Alexis and Jason heaved a sigh of relief.

Theo remained calm as he picked up his bag. "I should go back. Il return next week to give Mr. McDaniel another treatment. His attitude was cold, and he was unlike an ordinary child. He was even calmer than an adult.

"Why are they giving a similar impression?" Alexis seemed to have sensed something as she looked at where Will was standing. "Could it be that geniuses had such a personality when they were young?"

Before long. Theo had disappeared. Jason chased him and personally wanted to send him home, but he refused. Although Theo was young, he had his code of conduct. Those who treated Macve badly would be on his bad list. He would not even bother to look.

When Theo passed by another ward, a hand suddenly pulled him in. A child about his height stood before him. Theo might have changed his appearance, but their eyes looked similar. Even with a layer of disguise, their resemblance was still obvious. Theo looked at him. "Why did you pull me over? I've already told you the specific steps of his recovery

"Stop pretending" Will looked at him with his round eyes and added, "You're my twin brother, right?"

Theo was surprised but deliberately played dumb. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending! Grandpa and Grandma didn't say it, so how can you be sure that I'm the patient's great-grandson? This can only mean that you already know who I am.

Will added calmly, "Also, you're so bad at changing your skin tone. I can see the color difference between the skin under

Damn it, how can he be so smart? Theo's eyes lit up. He stopped pretending and said honestly, "That's right, you're right. To be able to

guess who I am shows that you're smart."

Will said humbly. "Thank you, but as a note, your disguise has many flaws."

"Wait, if you know who I am, why didn't you expose my identity to them?" Theo asked in confusion.

A smile appeared on Will's usually calm face. "In terms of blood relations, the two of us are closer. Moreover, I'm the elder. brother and have the responsibility to protect my younger brother."

Theo looked dissatisfied. "Who do you call 'younger brother? I'm the older one. I haven't even acknowledged you yet!"

Will was puzzled. "Weren't you quite satisfied when you used my identity to ask Dad for dresses and dolls?"

"But

weren't you happy eating the special muffins Mom usually made for me?" Theo retorted.

The brothers fell silent at the same time. They shared the same traits, so there was no need to criticize each other.

"Look, if you refuse to acknowledge me, that's fine. But you can't deny that we share the same blood. Will argued, "And we'll know who the older brother is when you ask Mom."

"I won't ask her this question!" Theo frowned. "She's crying for you every night. Now that she's finally in a better state, I can't bear to make her sad. He felt terrible whenever Maeve cried. Whenever Theo saw this, he wanted to destroy his dad. Will was stunned. His eyes filled with confusion. "Why? She was the one who... didn't she refuse to have me?"

"She would never abandon her child!" Theo was angry. "She was told that there was an accident during delivery and one of us didn't make it. Moreover, bad people were chasing after her. She was afraid I would be snatched away by them, so she didn't have time to go back to look for you."

Will had envisioned many reasons why Maeve didn't want him. He tried not to blame her and assumed she had her reason. However, there was a trace of fear in his heart. Fear of rejection when he finally met with Maeve.

It was only at that moment that the worry in Will's heart was crushed by Theo's words. His eyes reddened slightly. "So, Mom didn't abandon me on purpose. She didn't know I existed, right?

Theo's heart ached when he saw his brother. He reached out and patted his shoulder.

"She thought you were no longer around. However, she always wanted to return to get her facts right. Did you know that every time she buys something for me, she buys double? She knows that the other one won't be of use, but she still wants to buy it for you. If she doesn't love you, why would she do this?"

Hearing those words, Will's emotional turbulence slowly calmed down. He asked, "But why did Mom run away from here? And who was the bad guy?"

Theo grunted. "Of course, it's your father!"

*Dad?" Will was puzzled. "Dad wouldn't do bad things to Mom. He would never! Was there a misunderstanding between them?"

There's no misunderstanding!" Theo clarified, "Your father is a jerk whose only job is to make our mom sad!"

Will corrected, "Yet he's still your father. Your mom is also my mother."

"I won't acknowledge him as my father unless Mom agrees. Theo stood firm. "If you stand on his side and help him make things difficult for Mom, I won't hold back, even if you're my brother!"
