Lin Feng procrastinated, then sighed, "You already know..."
Little Morgan lowered her head, "I've always known..."
"Although they've been good to me, I know they aren't *them*."
"Brother Lin Feng, daddy and mommy, they're gone, right..."
Little Morgan's tender voice carried a hint of a sob, but she held back the tears.
She could feel the love from the daddy and mommy here, but she still often dreamed of the daddy and mommy from another world.
They stood together, smiling, telling her to live well...
Lin Feng scratched his head.
He never knew how to deal with children, let alone upset children.
"Um, Morgan, do you know about parallel universes?"
While he didn't know how to comfort her, distracting her was undoubtedly the fastest way.
Little Morgan asked, "Parallel universes?"
"Yes, parallel universes. It's hard to explain," Lin Feng said, scratching his head in frustration.
"It's like... two similar worlds. Well, you'll understand when you grow up."
"In this world, there's a daddy for you, and in another world, there's also a daddy for you."
"Even though they might be different in some ways, they are undoubtedly both your father!"
Lin Feng subtly shifted the concept, which, in a way, wasn't wrong.
The Tony in this world undoubtedly loved Little Morgan.
Furthermore, the Tony from the zombie world had entrusted Little Morgan to him.
Little Morgan was both fortunate and unfortunate.
Unfortunate to be born in a zombie universe.
Fortunate that even though her daddy from that world was gone, she still had a daddy in this world.
"Two daddies?" Little Morgan tilted her small head.
Lin Feng: "Yes."
"Then, are there two Morgans too?"
Oh, this...
Lin Feng's eye twitched. How could he possibly argue his way out of this?
Fortunately, at that moment, a call came in.
Lin Feng immediately felt relieved. "Have some something to drink, Morgan. I need to take a call."
Little Morgan murmured an "Oh" and lowered her head. Lin Feng quickly grabbed his phone and walked aside.
Whoever was calling, Lin Feng was grateful to their entire family.
He looked down.
The caller ID made Lin Feng frown.
Tony?
Lin Feng cast an invisible shield around himself so that Little Morgan couldn't overhear his conversation.
After doing so, Lin Feng answered the call.
"Lin, how is it?"
On the other end, Tony's voice sounded somewhat dejected.
It was clear that his words also carried a hint of worry.
"Are you talking about Little Morgan?"
"Yes, is she with you?"
Lin Feng glanced at Little Morgan. She seemed to be stable and was drinking hot chocolate.
"Don't worry, she can't hear."
"Good, that's good. She's been a bit off lately, and I don't know what's wrong with her."
"She keeps looking at old photos, the ones she brought back from that world."
"Pepper has noticed too, but we haven't dared to ask."
Tony sat on the sofa, his brow furrowed like a wilting flower.
Lin Feng sighed. As expected, children's emotions couldn't be hidden from adults.
It wasn't surprising that Tony knew. He had even given Lin Feng a significant glance earlier.
There was no need to hide anything from Tony, so Lin Feng immediately threw Little Morgan under the bus.
"As you suspected, Little Morgan knows everything."
"She asked me to take her to that zombie universe. I don't know what she's thinking."
"Perhaps she just wants to go back and see..."
Silence on the other end of the line.
Lin Feng knew that Tony's current mood was incredibly complicated.
Raising children was always a headache for adults, yet an unavoidable task.
After a long while, Tony's hoarse voice came through.
"If she wants to go, take her to see it, Lin."
"I believe you can do it, right?"
"Just promise me you'll bring Little Morgan back safely!"
Lin Feng also fell silent for a moment before finally giving a soft "hmm," his mind made up.
Since Tony had agreed, he would take Little Morgan back for a visit.
Perhaps seeing the place where she used to live, the traces of her life there, Little Morgan would finally find peace.
As for bringing her back safely? That was a given.
Even if Little Morgan wanted to stay in that world, Lin Feng would never agree.
"Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to check on Pepper, she's not in a good mood..."
As Tony spoke, he was about to hang up.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp glint.
"Wait, Tony!"
"What is it?"
Lin Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I have an idea, I just thought of it..."
"How about you and Pepper accompany Little Morgan to that world?"
"What?" Tony exclaimed on the other end, jumping up as if struck by lightning.
He and Pepper were going to the world where Little Morgan had lived?
His mind raced, and Tony immediately felt a surge of impulse towards the suggestion.
Right! If he accompanied Little Morgan, it would be a formal farewell to his past longing, wouldn't it?
But in the next moment, Tony's eyes dimmed again.
Little Morgan only spoke to Lin Feng about this not because Lin Feng was the only one who could take her back to that world.
Little Morgan probably didn't want him and Pepper to know about it, likely fearing they would overthink things.
What a good child, so young and already considerate of others' feelings.
After a moment of thought, Tony decided to refuse the tempting proposal.
But from the other end of the line, Lin Feng's voice continued.
"Listen to me, Tony."
"Since Little Morgan knows, then let's talk about it openly."
"Will you and Pepper ever get tired of holding back? Even if you don't, Little Morgan will always have a void in her heart, and she'll get tired too."
"Instead of that, why don't we all go together?"
"You know I have the ability to bring back the souls of the deceased, right?"
"Everyone can meet, sit down, and talk. Little Morgan's knot will naturally untangle, don't you think?"
Tony's breathing quickened.
Lin Feng's proposal was truly enticing.
Yes, going there with Little Morgan.
If Lin Feng could indeed bring out the souls of the other world's Tony and Pepper, then everyone talking together would likely help Little Morgan let go of her inner conflict.
He would meet the other Tony, and the other Tony would definitely entrust Little Morgan to him.
Don't ask Tony why he was so sure; he would do the same if he were the Tony from the zombie world.
Who wouldn't want their child to have a happier life?
"You... let me think about it. I'll discuss it with Pepper..."
Tony's tone clearly indicated his willingness, and a smile spread across Lin Feng's lips.
"Alright, you two do it quickly. I'll be waiting at the villa."
With that, Lin Feng hung up the phone.
There was no need to ask further; Tony and Pepper would definitely come.
This was the quickest and most effective way to resolve Little Morgan's inner turmoil!
Only in this way could Little Morgan truly let go of that world and face a new life.
In fact, Lin Feng had also considered whether to resurrect the Tony and Pepper from that world.
But... what about the Tony and Pepper of this world? They had probably grown accustomed to Little Morgan's presence...
Lin Feng decided to ask the soul of the Ancient One from that world.
