Chapter 71 [Bonus Chapter] Confronting The Little Culprit
Day Six…
~~*****~~
Ethan and the two robots were puzzled as to why Nathan sounded so upset. What kind of betrayal their young master had done to their former Master Nathan?
"Dad? What's wrong?" Ethan asked him innocently, not aware of the fault he had done to his own father.
"You put drugs in my tea last night. Don't you know how much I suffered from that?" Nathan pursed his lips, folding his arms over his chest. He was staring at Ethan with his sharp eyes.
Ethan: "..."
The young boy was rendered speechless. He didn't know that his dad would suffer after taking the drug.
He turned to his robotic friends and asked them innocently. "You didn't tell me that my Dad would suffer. Is that drug dangerous to my Dad's health?"
Powy spoke and answered Ethan. "Master, this might be the effect of two pills. I advised you to use only one pill but you put two instead."
Nathan: "0_0"
Nathan's eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he heard that. His son didn't only use one aphrodisiac drug but he added two. As in TWO Pills! No wonder, the effect was so strong and he easily lost control of himself!
"Ethan. Sparks. Are you trying to kill me, your own father?!"
"Dad! You are alive! Nothing bad happened to you, okay? Don't overreact." Ethan nonchalantly said. Then he glanced at Powy to justify his action.
"I thought putting two drugs in his drink would be more effective and making baby sis would be guaranteed!"
Nathan couldn't believe that he was hearing this from his five-year-old son!
"Ethan, where did you get this drug? Tell me honestly otherwise, I will reboot Powy and Riemc as your punishment. I will reprogram them and send them back to our facilities." Nathan threatened Ethan.
"Dad, no! You can't touch them!" Ethan jumped off his seat, spreading his little arms from both sides as if he was shielding Powy and Riemc against Nathan.
The two robots moved closer to Ethan, hiding behind him. The 'reboot' word somehow scared them. They didn't want to forget and leave their Master Ethan. Nathan had the capability to reboot them by force.
"I won't touch them as long as you tell me the truth. Where did you get this drug? And who gave you this idea to use this drug?" Nathan said with his stern voice.
Little Ethan contemplated for a moment. He raised his head, watching his father's expression. Nathan's brows were drawn together and his lips formed a thin line so he could tell that his father was mad and serious.
"Dad… I stole them… from Butler Li." Ethan confessed, lowering his head.
Nathan was taken aback when Butler Li's name was mentioned. How come Butler Li had this kind of drug? Was he taking it to boost his performance in bed? He understood since Butler Li was not getting younger however he had no wife, partner, or girlfriend!
Nathan assumed that Butler Li used the drug for his own consumption.
"How did you know that Butler Li has this drug? Why did you steal it? I didn't teach you to steal things from other people, Ethan!" Nathan's expression turned uglier.
Ethan felt like he was in a hot seat right now. It had been so long since the last time Nathan became upset and scolded him like this.
"I overheard Miss Abi asking Butler Li to buy Aphrodisiac Drug. I became curious about this so I asked Powy about this drug. Then he told me that this drug is like a baby-maker drug. With the help of this drug, there is a possibility I can have a baby sister or a baby brother!"
Nathan was at a loss for words. Who would have thought that Abigail was also involved in this?
'Ahuh? So she was the one who asked Butler Li to buy this drug. That clever woman. I asked her last night if she had something to do with this. But she denied it. Though she told me that she didn't buy this aphrodisiac, clearly speaking, she was the one who requested Butler Li to buy it!'
Nathan's eyes were set ablaze and he clenched his fists at that thought. Those two people were the reason why Ethan had learned about this kind of drug.
'No wonder, she knew the components of Aphrodisiac drugs and she told Dr. Zhao about it. Don't tell me that she already had an idea that the drug on my tea was the same drug she asked Butler Li to buy.' Nathan felt so annoyed as he thought about that.
'That shameless woman! She took advantage of my situation! She admitted that she had a crush on me so she didn't hesitate to touch me. I felt violated!'
"Master, your Dad's blood pressure is increasing, his cheeks turning red and his nose flaring. Veins are popping on his forehead, neck, and knuckles. Former Master is so furious!" Powy stated after observing Nathan's reaction. The two robots continued hiding behind Ethan, just taking a peek at Nathan.
"Dad? Are you okay? Do you want cold water to cool down? Riemc, can you lower the room temperature and get a glass of cold water for my Dad?"
Riemc immediately fled after receiving Ethan's command.
"Ethan, you are grounded for one week. You are not allowed to enter this playroom for a week. This is your punishment." Nathan declared to his son.
"Don't ever do this again. Understood?" Nathan added.
Ethan: "Yes, Dad…"
Powy: "Yes, Former Master!"
"Now, let's go downstairs. I have to deal with another person," Nathan mumbled.
Ethan just bobbed his head, following his father obediently. He was silent as they descended from the stairs. Butler Li came to approach them as soon as he saw the father and son duo walking down.
"Master, and Young Master, the breakfast is ready. Miss Abi will also join you in a minute."
Nathan ignored Butler Li's remarks. Instead, he extended his right hand in front of him and said, "Where are the remaining aphrodisiac drugs? Give them to me. NOW!"
Butler Li: "..."
Ethan lowered his gaze, biting his lower lip. He felt guilty toward Butler Li. 'Will Dad scold and punish Butler Li as well? How about Miss Abi?'
