The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together Chapter 256: Your Part of Agreement.
"Your son has the ability to absorb and transmit energy. I can show him how to do this, and he will be able to restore Elena's strength in a short time."
"Sean can do that?!"
"Didn't he demonstrate his skill at birth? As far as I know, your wife was in a coma for two weeks immediately after giving birth." Marcus looked at the man with irony, who obviously was counting two plus two in his head. For David, this was a discovery, but now he realized what had happened to Elena at that moment.
So his feelings were true. Sean was the reason that Elena almost died five years ago.
David looked at his watch, "He will be home in ten minutes."
"Okay, then I'll probably pour some more tea for myself," Marcus nodded, got up from his chair and disappeared into the air.
David could only shake his head. Apparently, it was useless to expect at least some manners from this person. The man felt like a guest in his own house.
He kissed Elena on the forehead, gently closed the door and walked slowly into the living room. Marcus by that time was already sitting at the table and was drinking his tea and eating cookies, ignoring Daniel's murderous looks. But who really burned with the fire of rage was Nick.
"David! What is this man doing at home?! Are you completely crazy?" He only calmed down after the news of the takeover of Lenali Enterprise, and now the culprit of all the events himself was sitting at their house and behaving as if nothing had happened.
"Young man, I noticed that even at the first time I saw you that you are lacking your manners. I advise you not to provoke me, you are unlikely to fancy my methods of upbringing," Marcus said in between, slowly drinking his tea.

"Nick, be so kind to stay in your room," David turned to the guy. Knowing the impulse of his cousin, a little match was enough to kindle a fire between the two people.
Nick did not answer, snorted, turned around and went into his room.
"Tsk, and why is this guy so emotional? Just like you were in your youth. And they say the truth, genetics is a strong thing, you can immediately see that you are relatives," Marcus put the cup on the table, got up and flopped down on the sofa next to him.
The front door clicked, and a little boy entered the house.
"Why are you alone? Wasn't Jun supposed to bring you?" David asked his son.
"Uncle Jun said he had some business, so he did not go in and dropped me off at home. And why are you…," the child's eyes were fixed on an unfamiliar man who did not take his eyes off him.
David went over to Sean and took him in his arms, "My boy, mom and I need your help. Can you do something for us?"
The boy nodded his head and hastened to turn away from Marcus's gaze. The eyes of this unfamiliar man made him feel strange. This look seemed very familiar to Sean, but he could not remember for what reason.
"Sean, this man will show you one trick, with his help we will help mom recover faster, okay?"
"No, I can't," the child answered in a trembling voice as David brought him to Elena's bed.
"Hey, can you even smile? Can't you see that he is afraid of you?" David looked at Marcus sternly, the latter clearly had a lack of communication with children.
"Not really. He is not afraid of me, he is afraid of himself," Marcus raised his hand and offered it to Sean, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. If you want, you can stay with your dad in his arms."

The man took the boy's hand, laid his small palm on Elena's chest and covered it with his hand, "Close your eyes and focus. It's easier for me to show you once than to explain for a long time."
At that moment, David noticed a warm golden light coming from Sean's palm to Elena's body, his own body was becoming lighter every second as if he and his son had become one, but this did not cause discomfort compared to when Marcus was taking the energy from him.
"Isn't that dangerous?" he asked the man in a whisper. David did not think about himself, but he did not want to risk the health of his child.
"No. On the contrary, this is exactly what the family is for. The energy of loved ones is the strongest. When you voluntarily give your loved one your strength, this energy increases for both of you. Although people cannot see these processes as I see them, many feel it. This is the so-called power of love.
Sometimes, to move forward, it's enough to just think about an important person for you and this will give strength."
David did not know what to answer to such an unexpected comment by Marcus. And it was not what he said, but that it was he who said it.
"Do you have such a person?"
"Do I look like someone who needs it?" Marcus looked at David as if the latter said utter nonsense.
"What are you arguing about?" a quiet female voice interrupted the conversation of the two men.
"MOM!" Sean instantly jumped off David's knees and threw himself on Elena's neck.
"My little bunny, why do I have the feeling that I haven't seen you for a long time, hm?" Elena clasped her son in her arms and pressed him to her. David lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Marcus grinned, straightened up and took a step back. He clearly did not fit into this family idyll. "In the next two days, repeat this procedure several times, and she will be fine, as nothing happened. Well, I'm ready to fulfill my part of the agreement, I will wait for your answer until tomorrow, David Anderson," said the man and disappeared.
"What is he talking about?" Elena asked, not understanding what was going on, "Was it Marcus? Why was he here? Hey, did something happen?" Only now Elena noticed that David's appearance was far from ideal, "Stop, why am I at home? Nick and I were at dad's house."
"Shhh, I'll tell you about everything later," David smiled fondly and patted Elena on the cheek, "Do you want to eat?"
"Hah, now you asked and I suddenly felt terribly hungry," Elena laughed, and David realized once again that this was the best thing he had ever heard. Her laughter and smile were better for him than any miracle in the world.
"Okay, I'll bring something now," he kissed the woman on the cheek, tousled Sean's hair and went into the kitchen.
Daniel was sitting on the couch in the living room and, with a smile of a happy idiot, sending Corey different emoticons.
"Daniel," the man immediately raised his head after hearing his brother's voice, "I need the serum to be ready in a week."
"WHAT?! A week? How do you imagine me doing this? I've been working on it for more than ten years, how can I modify it in such a short time?" Daniel even forgot about the chat with Corey when he heard such an absurd request from his brother.
"This is not a request, this is a necessity. We are leaving in a week." The more David spoke, the less Daniel understood what was going on.
"A necessity? Stop… We are leaving?? Where are we going?"
"To Mexico."
