Chapter 063. Childhood

When Dr. Wald finally gave him the heart transplant and awakened him, the time had already quietly slipped away to be a whole five years.

When Snow woke up, he didn't even know where he was. Long-term freezing made almost all of the muscles in his entire body atrophied, he was all skin and bones. His body was still that of a five-year-old child, but his actual age should be ten years old. It was as if he had been completely removed from these five years of his life, leaving only a blank.

He also never saw his Dad again.

According to what Dr. Ward said, a lot of things happened while he was fast asleep. General Ling Yu was expelled from the military registry. The secret of the Undercurrent Organization was exposed. The military executed a carpet search to hunt down Undercurrent members. Dad in order to seek asylum, left here for the time being. He doesn't know where.

(TN: It's a military technique for searching, it involves a lot of manpower and resources so it's not commonly used. It's when they need to trace a person (or people) but they don't know where they are but know the general area, so they block off the area in different sections and search them all one by one in a certain order.)

Snow listened in a daze and his sluggish brain struggled to digest the grievous news that he couldn't yet handle.

   Probably because he was frozen for so long, hearing that his Dad was missing, he quickly forgot the feeling of shedding tears.

From that day on, Wald took Snow as his adopted son and told any outsiders that Snow was an orphan he had picked up after having lost both of his parents. He is five years old this year.

He secretly injected Snow with inhibitors, allowing Snow to grow up as a Beta.

However, the five-year-old child is becoming more and more silent. He does not like to make friends, does not like to talk, and his habitual sleeping position is curled up into a ball, just as he once curled up in that tiny cryostasis pod.

The reappearance of those words "eta Ursae Majoris Star" is like tearing open a huge crack from the bottom of Snow's heart.

Those distant childhood memories violently surged forth in an instant like a tidal wave. The ice-cold feeling of lying in the cryostasis pod slowly crawled up the back of the spine and to his brain, all the blood throughout his body seemed to freeze.

Snow stood there stiffly and looked up at that unfamiliar man.

The man's appearance looked very ordinary, but he has a pair of pitch-black and extremely bright eyes. Meeting his gaze, Snow's heart can not help but faintly tremble— those eyes, the countless times they have appeared in his dreams, look so similar to that gentle and soft man in his memories.

  As if to prove his suspicions, before the man left the specimen showroom, he also deliberately gave a quick look back at him.

Snow no longer hesitated, immediately stood up and said: "Teacher. I am a little uncomfortable, I am going to the bathroom."

Today's teacher has a very good temperament, seeing Snow's pale complexion, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Quickly go, If it's serious then let me know, I will take you to a doctor."

Snow nodded and sped-walked out of the showroom.

When he went out, he saw that the man was waiting for him at the end of the corridor as expected.

The two looked at each other standing on the opposite ends of the long corridor, and no one opened their mouth to speak, but that familiar feeling still let them recognize each other in the very first moments.
