"I will take some breakfast over to him and see if there's a problem." Mo Zhiqian heavily sighed, getting up from her chair while the maids carried a tray of breakfast, and they went upstairs to his room.
"Could something have happened last night when they went out? Who did they meet? Could it be their mother?" He thought loudly about it while frowning. They both seemed to be silently retreating and couldn't tell what the problem was.
"My dear, you keep on asking me and I don't know anything, they are your sons too.... I was sleeping with you the entire night, how could I know what happened? They haven't spoken anything about it, so how could I know?" She pouted her lips, whining with her eyes glistening with tears, feeling wronged.
"Shhhh... Don't cry, I didn't mean it... I'm sorry, I will handle the situation after we are done with the clinic. Have your breakfast while I pack things we would need." He kissed her on the forehead before getting up and going over to their bedroom to pack things they would need.
Lu Wan Ruyi heavily sighed, but she couldn't tell what was going through her sons' minds.
Lu Zhi Hao went back to his bedroom, got the things, and also a tiny bit of the incense stick so that he could inquire about it.

Mo Zhiqian slowly climbed the stairs, her heart weighed down with uneasiness. She had always been able to tell when something wasn't right with her grandsons, and today, the silence between them was more telling than any words could be. She felt like something was going on.
She knocked gently on Lu Ting Zhou's bedroom door before entering. Lu Ting Zhou was sitting on the edge of his seating area couch, staring blankly at the floor.
"Ting Zhou?" she called softly, placing the tray down on the small coffee table nearby. "I brought you breakfast."
He didn't respond immediately, he was sad and frustrated. After a few seconds, he turned his head slightly. "Thank you, Grandma," he whispered, his voice hoarse and low, as he had barely slept last night.
She walked over and sat beside him, gently placing her hand over his intimately. "You don't have to tell me everything, but if something's wrong, maybe I can help. Is there a problem? Did anything happen or did someone abuse you?"
"There's nothing much, Grandma, I'm just exhausted from the tour... If I have a problem, you will definitely know it." He lightly shook his head while giving her a simple smile that didn't reach his cheeks.
"All right then.... Your mommy did put some gemstones in the drawer, you can check them and see what you can do with them... And, we are going back, do you need any help in packing things up?" Mo Zhiqian got up from the couch; she couldn't force him to talk. He would talk when he was ready.
"Grandma, what kind of a person do you think I am?" He warily queried, thinking hard. He didn't want to be a failure, but all the time, he had this unknown pressure.
"You are just you! You are Lu Ting Zhou, you are just one of you! I know you are a good and honest person! One thing you should know about, we are born different, and destined in many different ways." She gently ruffled his hair.
"Thanks Grandma...."
"If you need anything, I'm right here." After sighing, she walked back downstairs, leaving him alone. Some things were for him to explore by himself and understand.
She went back to the dining area, and Lu Wan Ruyi hadn't left; she was still having her breakfast.
