    As elegantly ate breakfast and said to everyone, "Everyone here has a connection to that ce. That''s why we''re all going back together, including your father, your parents, Molly, and Jenny. Your father has wanted to go back and visit for a long time. We need to fulfill that wish."


    He had thought about everyone.


    I saw Molly''s face light up with joy. Since she arrived at Fremont Bay, she had yet to return to Nocturnia. Of course we should let Jenny get closer to her parents. We would be selfish to do otherwise.


    As continued, "I''ve asked some top experts to examine your father''s legs. He needs surgery as soon as possible. He can recover in Foswood after having the surgery in Nocturnia."


    I nodded. "We can''t dy this any longer. If his condition permits it, I want the surgery done as soon as possible too."


    As nced at my dad and seriously said, "I''ve contacted your father''s school as well. It''s their anniversary this year, and they''ll invite him back for a visit."


    My dad was stunned, staring at As in disbelief. "You... is what you said true?"


    As nodded confidently. "Yes, it is. I''ve arranged everything."


    "But... but I, I''m so ashamed!" My dad''s face was full of pain. "How could I go back...? I can''t!"


    "Don''t think like that. This time, you''re going back with a mission." As looked at my dad very seriously, his face showing unwavering determination. "What... mission?" My dad asked, a little unsettled.


    "Since you''re going to start working again, you''ll need an assistant. After we build theboratory, we need to assemble a top-notch research team. When you return to school, you''ll be selecting your assistants. You''ll choose them yourself, and we at ATL Empire will provide the funding. I''ll take you to visit some other research teams too."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    I saw that my dad was stunned, his excited hands trembling.


    "You don''t want to abandon your lifelong pursuit, do you?" As looked at my dad. "You can set the selection criteria yourself. There''s no limit on the number of positions. I''ve already created a special channel for you and established a special fund."


    As earnestly exined his n to my father "Actually, I wanted to discuss this with you in detail, but I''ve been busy these days. Let''s talk tomorrow night and exchange some ideas."


    My dad couldn''t stop nodding. He was excited and repeatedly said, "Okay!"


    "This research project is also a top priority for AT Empire. It''s not just for profit; it''s an important n that will benefit humanity. Many research


    projects are underway, and your ne


    goal is one of our priorities. After all, more and more young people will be affected by this. We have a responsibility to save them. But I''m also a businessman, of course!"


    As spoke very realistically, but his sense of social responsibility made me feel relieved and proud.


    I realized that the man before me was bing increasingly important in my heart.


    "... Okay! Thank you, As! Thank you!" My dad was so excited that he had no appetite at all.


    "You don''t need to thank me. This was also my father''sst wish. My father established several famous research teams when he was alive." As''s tone was solemn.


    Then he looked at Jenny and smiled warmly, "You also need to reunite with your parents too, Jenny. After this Christmas, everything may be different!"


    Even I hadn''t expected that As, who was always seen as aloof and unapproachable by outsiders, would care so much about everyone in the family. "We should use this holiday to fulfill everyone''s wishes! Then we can return to Foswood for the wedding and start a new n."


    I had to admit that the new year would mark a new journey for everyone in our family.
