After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1826

Chapter 1826: Theo’s Talents

At this time, the couple Eugene and Melissa were also still in the house in the living room.

While Melissa cooed her baby, her husband bonded with Theo, who they also treated as a son.

After all, once upon a time, Theo was really their son. Even if they reunited with their own relatives now, that aspect was not going to change.

They were playing jengga on one of the carpets, and Maya and Horus were playing along with them.

Adorably, when the boy managed to take a particularly difficult piece, he clapped his little hands and his cheeks flushed in glee.

It was so adorable and Eugene couldn’t help but pat the boy’s fluffy brown hair.

"You’ve grown so much now..." Eugene chuckled, kneading the boy’s wavy hair.

"Hehe," Theo said, so very cute.

"What have you been up to lately?" he asked. "We haven’t talked for a while now, haven’t we?"

Even if Theo’s father, Beanie, arrived and Eugene has his own biological child now, their father-son relationship would not disappear.

Eugene often hung around the villa even after moving out, and he had an arrangement with Beanie to take the child out for a few hours every weekend.

It was just that a lot of things had happened lately, with him practically sleeping in the laboratory and his free time spent on Melissa and his baby, so they missed a few weeks. He had always felt bad about it and he felt like if he always let it happen, he’d drift away from this boy.

He couldn’t let that happen. After all, once upon a time, they were practically each others’ sole emotional support. Back then, he promised to be his parent, and was determined to survive at least until the child could take care of himself.

When Eugene lost his lover and their child, he had entered the deepest pit one could enter. It was Theo who had tethered him to reality, giving him a will to live, allowing him to live long enough to reunite with Melissa, eventually building his own family.

If he were to just forget about Theo now, how ungrateful would that be?

Of course, the little boy had no idea about the complex thoughts of adults. He simply happily shared his day with an adult he liked.

"I study, then I play with Little Pepper and Little Meatball all the time," he said, now without a lisp (he was very proud of this).

Eugene smiled. "What do you like to study the most?"

"Mixing!"

"Oh?" Eugene asked, interested. "What is your favourite mix?"

"Haozen berry and Jordana vine~!"

Eugene blinked. Those were some of the components of the basic healing medicine, wasn’t it?

Oh?

"Do you use it?"

"Hng~ since we always get boo-boos!"

Maya and Horus, who were at the side, nodded. "Hmn~ It feels nice and cool."

Eugene blinked and asked to take a look at the item. It was placed on an old container of jam...repurposed to hold the experimental balm.

To be clear, it wasn’t an actual balm with system effects, but it was done well for someone just out of toddler-period, and could work for people with very low levels. In time, he was bound to create a system-ranked one.

Eugene couldn’t help but take a deeper look at his adopted son. Did they find another genius?
