Hades and Silver come to the hospital to catch Vincent and see the man's condition, but they don't find Vincent in his room.
"Maybe he's in Miss Lin's room" said Silver.
Hades just sighed softly. 'That kid has the same nature as I used to. Loving someone without thinking of his own safety.'
Hades steered his wheelchair out of the room. Silver followed her from behind to Amira's nursery. They found Lucas sitting in front of the room.
Lucas stood up immediately when he saw Hades coming. His face looks pale. He lowered his face.
"Why? What are you afraid of?" ask Hades flat.
"I'm sorry, Hades. I don't take good care of Light" Lucas lamented.
"That's it, not your fault. Thank you for being with him for the past five years" said Hades, who left Lucas and Silver slightly flabbergasted.
'Only this time Hades thanked them, ' both of them.
"Is he inside?" ask Hades.
"Yes, Hades," Lucas replied and nodded.
Hades enters the room himself, while Lucas and Silver wait for him outside.
"Is my mission now complete?" ask Lucas to Silver.
"It seems so, but maybe you need to wait for Hades' decision," Silver replied as he patted Lucas on the shoulder.
Actually Lucas was a little unwilling to leave Vincent, because he was comfortable and at home working under the leadership of Vincent. But he was helpless if Hades asked him to come back and take the next mission. He could only breathe slowly.
In the room, Hades saw his son who was next to his lover. This was the first time he had been so close to his son. Oh no, exactly maybe the third time.
The first time was when Vincent was born into this world, he hugged and kissed his son; the second time was when he was in the operating room, he donated his blood to his beloved son; and the third time is now.
Hades smiled sadly as he thought of what kind of father he was in his son's eyes. Dare not to meet his own son. Just standing behind the screen silently watched her and protected her.
The old man directed his wheelchair closer to his son who was still unaware of his presence.
"Vincent," call Hades. His bass voice surprised Vincent, making him turn to face him.
Vincent knitted his eyebrows together. He stared at the stranger in front of him at this moment.
"Who are you?"
Hades smiled wryly listening to the question. He could only breathe slowly. It is not his son's fault he does not recognize himself.
"How are you doing? Is your head still hurting?"
Hades did not answer Vincent's question before. He was more worried about his son's current condition.
Not getting the answer he wanted, Vincent turned his face back to look at Amira. He did not care about the foreigner beside him.
Hades smiled faintly. "Do you love this girl so much? Do you want to be with him?" the question again that made Vincent turned to look at him strangely.
"Who are you really? And what's your relationship with Ami?" ask Vincent coldly. He thought Hades had come to the room to meet the girl.
Hades gave a crisp laugh listening to his son's question. Vincent's eyebrows are back in chains. Confused by the attitude of the stranger.
"Is there anything funny?" vincent asked sharply and coldly, but did not scare Hades.
"No. Nothing funny, Son," Hades replied briefly but was able to leave Vincent flabbergasted.
Vincent's eagle-eye looked sharply at Hades. Looking for lies inside the old man's black-colored eye bead. Instantly Vincent realizes the many similarities in the man with himself. The man's sharp black eyes, his grin, his grin, his oval face with a firm jaw and a calm yet cool demeanor all felt familiar to Vincent. The resemblance of the old man made Vincent's curiosity stick out.
"Who exactly are you, sir?" ask Vincent this time in a slightly friendly but still sharp tone.
Hades smiled at his smile. He felt proud of his son who had a sharp intuition like him. With just one look, Vincent had realized something that he had been hiding all along.
"I'm your real father, Vincent," Hades said of the secret he has been covering for 28 years.
"What do you mean?"
Vincent was stunned and looked at Hades in disbelief. He frowned, his mouth gaping, but excitement was evident in his eyes.
Flashbacks
Twenty-eight years ago, Hades aka Anderson Xiao was a handsome young man. He is the son of an underground mafia king. Since childhood his life has always lived in wealth but not far from bloodshed. Not his desire to follow in his father's footsteps, but he was forced to adapt to his circumstances. Since childhood Anderson has been taught not to have feelings of love and mercy, so he grew up to be a cruel and cold person. In that black world, who was strong was the one who could survive. At least he let his guard down, invisible enemies will attack him mercilessly, until one day God meets a girl who will teach him the meaning of love in his life. That girl is Selena Wu.
Selena is an orphan girl. He has lived a kara since his mother died when he was 17 years old. The girl lives by doing various kinds of odd jobs to support herself and pay off the debt she once borrowed to finance her mother's treatment first.
Anderson and Selena meet while the man is in pursuit of one of his sworn enemies, Luiz Smith. Anderson had a gunshot wound to his shoulder. He hid in the area while in pursuit of Luiz. The area was where Selena lived.
Selena just got home from her part-time job. He found the injured man next to his house. Selena felt compassion and helped the man.
Anderson thought his life was beyond help, given his family history of having a unique blood type. But God still did not allow him to leave the world, meeting a girl with the same blood type as him.
Ever since the first sight they met, Anderson had already fallen for the pretty girl who owned the hazel-brown eyes. As well as Selena, the girl had the same feelings as Anderson.
Their love story did not go smoothly, Anderson's father, Alfonso Xiao, did not approve of their relationship let alone the girl was just a girl from the bottom, but Anderson did not give up just like that with his love. He took Selena as far away from the dark world as possible. They married secretly without the blessing of Alfonso.
Anderson thinks he has escaped the cruelty of the black world and is living happily with Selena. Her happiness was increased when Selena was pregnant with their baby. But when Selena was eight months pregnant, there was a tragedy that she would never forget in her lifetime. Luiz Smith, found Anderson and his wife's residence. The man chased the couple who had run away first with their car.
Luiz did not give up. He chased after Anderson's car, until finally Luiz's car approached Anderson's car and he pointed his gun at Anderson but the shot shot hit Selena who was protecting her husband's body. The shot hit his right back.
"Tydaaakk! Selenaa!"
Anderson became furious to see his beloved woman being harmed. He immediately took his gun from the dashboard of his car while still driving his car, he popped his head out and looked back, pointing his gun right at the windshield of Luiz's car. Anderson's shot went through Luiz's windshield and hit the man's forehead until he died instantly in an instant. Anderson drove his car directly at high speed to the nearest hospital.
"Selena! Hang in!" anderson panicked. The man remained focused on driving his car as he occasionally glanced at his already critical wife.
Selena endured the pain in her chest and stomach that had already contracted so violently.
"Su ... my husband .. a-child .. ki-ta ..," said Selena in a stammering voice and gasping breath.
Anderson's face grew pale when he saw a clear but turbid liquid coming out of his wife's womb passing through his wife's groin and flowing like urine. Anderson knew it was his wife's amniotic fluid and now it was time for their baby to be born into the world without them expecting it.
"Calm down, honey. You and our son will be safe. Hang on ...," comfort Anderson who is currently in the hospital so that his wife does not get more panicked and scared. Even though Selena knew there was not much time left, she made a final request to her husband.
"A-I want to .. ka-you are saved ... our child ...," asked Selena in a soft and disjointed voice. A round of clear liquid soaked her beautiful face, but she still wanted to continue her speech, even though Anderson had forbidden her to continue speaking.
"Take him ... far away from .. du-world ... black …." Selena set her breath for a while and continued again, "give her .. to-happiness …."
"Enough! Don't talk anymore!" sidelines Anderson with a raucous voice, as her tears had fallen down her cheeks. "You and our son will be safe!" continued again.
Selena pulled her husband's arm and looked at him with nanar, asking him to fulfill her last request. "Just promise ...," she asked.
Anderson finally agreed to his wife's request with a heavy heart. He knew his wife wanted her son not to follow her dangerous path. At first Anderson thought he could leave the dark world, but it turned out he was wrong. Once they have entered that dark world, they will find it hard to step outside even after washing the hands of those who have been bleeding from the lives of those they ended.
Selena gave birth to a baby boy for her, but unfortunately the woman was unable to accompany her son. She breathed her last after seeing the innocent face of her baby for the first and last time.
The end of flashback.
"Your birthday coincides with the birth of Madam Zhang's child. I heard from one of the nurses that her son could no longer be saved. Madam Zhang's biological child was born prematurely and only survived a few hours after birth." Hades sighed for a while and swallowed his coarse salivation, then continued his story.
"At that time I thought that maybe this was the path God gave you. I also paid the nurse to take you to Madame Zhang and make her admit that you are her child" Hades concluded.
Vincent listened to the story of Hades from beginning to end without flinching and did not utter a word. He did not know what kind of expression to show. Sad, happy or even hate Hades who has given it away to others.
"Hades? Is that you?" terka Vincent's.
Hades nodded confirming Vincent's guess. "Aaron. That's the name your mother gave you when she was pregnant. He told me to name you Aaron when the one born was a baby boy. Aaron means a leader who has a purpose in life, great and noble, which also means light. He hopes you can live in the middle of a life full of light. Therefore I always called you Light" Hades explained.
Vincent remembered that name. Every time Hades sends him an email. The man always called her 'Light'.
"I'm telling you this, I don't want you to forgive me and your mother. Just want you not to keep hurting yourself for thinking you're with that girl brother," Hades continued, smiling and twisting his wheelchair, wanting to leave the room.
"Dad ...," call Vincent slowly.
Hades fell silent and turned his wheelchair around to face Vincent. He smiled and blinked his eyes to hold the clear liquid that would come out of the corner of his eye.
"May I call you that? Dad?" vincent asked and returned the smile of his biological father who had been looking at him.
Hades nodded slowly and smiled knotfully. "Aaron, my son," he said quietly but full of days and he patted Vincent on the shoulder with a look of deep longing from a father to his son.
