After Zion came back from his trip, he was a changed person.

During dinner, he peeled shrimp for his younger sister.

After dinner, he even played games with his sister, whereas before he used to be addicted to gaming all the time. Now he hadn't touched his phone for most of the evening.

He even acted like a spoiled child, asking David for money--

It should be noted that Zion never asked his family for money and always kept his distance from them.

The Murray family knew that once Zion started asking for money from his family, it meant that he had truly changed.

The Murray family members looked at each other in surprise.

Mr. Craig wondered, "Has this brat been cured? He was gone for two days with Susie, and he's already cured?"

Mrs. Alana said, "It must be because of her daughter Susie's influence!"

Michael exclaimed, "Damn it, this boy must have been possessed by a ghost!"

Wade asked, "Assuming Zion was possessed by a ghost, is he a type x or type y?"

At night, Wade was fully equipped, carrying his big iron pot that could detect ghosts and his ghost-catching camera that was invented last century.

In his left hand, he held a stack of yellow talismans, and in his right hand, a peach wood sword. He even hung three pounds of fresh garlic around his neck.

Wade realized that his equipment was still not enough, and he would need to invent more in the future.

When Susie heard the door knock, she opened it to find Wade in his comical outfit.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" Susie asked in surprise.

"Shh, don't talk, come with me!" Wade pulled Susie's hand and ran quickly towards Zion's room.

The door to Zion's room had been fixed and was not locked like it used to be.

Wade pushed the door open and rushed inside.

Susie was stunned, "Ryan, it's impolite to enter someone's room without knocking!"

"Shh," said Wade. When it comes to catching ghosts, who cares about manners?

The room was silent, with the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom where Zion was taking a shower.

Wade was a little nervous and stuttered, "You, you stay here, I'll go and force him out!"

Susie wondered, "What is Ryan going to do?"

Zion's brother was taking a shower, so why would he want to force him out?

Suddenly, Wade quietly approached the bathroom door and flung it open, taking off the garlic around his neck and throwing it inside.

"I'll hit you, hit you, hit you!" Wade shouted, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you! Come out!"

Zion looked frightened, still naked, when suddenly the door was violently pulled open.

Dozens of garlic heads smashed towards him.

After narrowly dodging the garlic, a peach wood sword flew past him.

Zion couldn't tell whether the sword was aimed well or not, but he felt like his little brother was almost gone.

"What the f*ck!" Zion was furious. "Who the hell attacked me?"

Bang!

A big iron basin flew towards him and hit him on the head.

Zion slipped and fell on the ground, feeling dizzy.

"…$%#!!"

In the bathroom, everything was in chaos.

Zion cursed and fought with Wade.

"Susie! Help me! This guy's gone mad!" Wade cried out for help.

Susie tried to run in, but then Zion's angry voice rang out, "Susie, don't come in!"

The little girl was caught in hesitation, not sure if she should go in or not.

After a while, Zion put on a bathrobe with a bruised and swollen face. Wade was also badly bruised with black eyes.

The two of them sat glaring at each other, one on the bed and one on the sofa.

Susie looked confused and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

Zion was angry, "This idiot Wade said I was possessed by a ghost! Damn it!"

Wade, in pain, also refused to show weakness, "Who made you behave so abnormally? Huh? You even peeled shrimps for your sister at dinner, fed her vegetables, and played Barbie dolls with her after dinner! Is this something you would do?"

Zion was speechless for a moment.

Wade was also very angry, thinking that Zion was possessed by a ghost, and was very worried, so he tried to help him drive it away.

As a result, he ended up getting beaten up himself.

Susie finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Wade thought Zion was possessed by a ghost. She looked at the two of them with a blank face, as if she was watching two idiots.

"Zion is not possessed by a ghost," Susie said softly.

"Wade, you got it wrong!" Wade still didn't believe it.

"How could he change so much from a devil to a warm-hearted brother in just two days? It's like he's a different person. How is that possible?"

Zion gritted his teeth, "Can't a man turn over a new leaf? Have you never heard the proverb 'A prodigal son returns home; gold does not change'?"

Wade said, "I don't believe you."

Zion said, "You're a f*cking idiot."

Susie said softly, "Don't fight, don't fight."

She clumsily applied medicine to Zion and put a band-aid on Wade.

"Zion, don't be angry. Wade is also worried about you. If it were someone else, he might have just run away."

Zion snorted.

Susie said, "Who made Zion, you used to be a bad boy?"

Zion remained silent, sneered, and lay on the bed, closing his eyes.

Everyone says he's a bad boy.

"You ever seen that bad kid earn his own money?" He couldn't be bothered to say.

Susie sat beside him and asked, "Why is that?"

Zion was silent for a while before saying, "Before my sister was born, my parents were doing pretty well."

Although their relationship wasn't as good as others', at least they were together.

"But everything changed after my sister was born."

He heard Mom and Grandma Chloe arguing, saying that Mom had calculated to have him.

He also heard that Mom and Dad were going to divorce.

They argued without asking for his opinion, even treating him like air.

Dad didn't come home.

Mom started to pamper his sister like crazy.

Susie sympathetically asked, "What happened later?"

Zion snorted, "The first time I touched my sister's face, she cried, and Mom got angry and slapped me."

"After that, whenever I got close to my sister, Mom would ask me to leave."

There were many such times.

When he was a child, he saw Mom pampering his sister so much that he tried to please her, but every time his sister cried, Mom blamed him.

Wade was surprised, there was such a thing?

Zion said lightly, "When my sister cried, Mom could hold her all night without sleeping, but when I was sick, she didn't even look at me."

"When my sister wanted something, she just cried a little, but when I wanted something, Mom said, 'Why do you want this and that? Are you trying to cause trouble? Can't you be more sensible?'"

Gradually, he understood that he was just surplus.

It was wrong to reach out for something he wanted.

"One night when it was raining, I was awakened and went to close the window.

The window was hard to close, and I was weak at that time.

When I pulled it hard, it fell down. Zion's room was on the second floor, but the Murray family's first floor was high, and it was still very dangerous to fall from the second floor to the first floor.

Zion fell with a bang and couldn't climb up for a long time.

He cried and called for his mother, but no one could hear him.

The rain was heavy, the servants were far away from the main house, the grandfather was sound asleep, and the grandmother had gone to a sanatorium.

Uncle was always working overtime at the company, and Dad and his fifth brother were also rushing to meet deadlines at the construction site and rarely came back.

Other uncles were even worse, either busy with work or staying in their own small apartments that they bought, and rarely came back to the Murray family estate.

"I lay in the heavy rain for a long time, and my whole body was very sore. I finally crawled back."

"I went to knock on Mom's door, maybe it woke up my sister, and she cried."

"Mom was angry and said that she had finally put my sister to sleep but was woken up by me again and told me to leave."

He was wet and his mother couldn't see him.

He was very sore all over, but his mother didn't ask him what happened.

He could only go back to his room, take a shower by himself, clean himself up, and even spit out some blood.

He curled up in bed, got a high fever, and got very sick.

No one knew how scared, lonely, and helpless he was that night.

Even when he was sick for two days, his mother didn't care about him.

The servant said he was sick, and his mother said to leave him alone, he was just spoiled.

Why was he the one who was spoiled? His sister was the one who was spoiled!

"I was lucky not to die, and later I gradually got better, but I knew that I had to live on my own and earn my own money. It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."

Later, he became sensible, but they still weren't satisfied...

Susie felt a pain in her heart.

Although her brother had recovered from his illness, he was still mentally ill and had never been well, right?

Susie hugged Zion without saying a word.

"Brother, don't be afraid." She patted Zion, like two poor little ones who depended on each other.

"Susie used to be like this too, but then she got better."

"Grandma Chloe, Uncle Martin, and Dad just don't know, they didn't mean it."

"So, can we forgive them?" Zion's lips tightened, and his eyes turned red quietly."
