Zane, who was munching on a crab claw, looked up at Yves Prescott, then at Xander.
He answered thoughtfully, "I like them both."
Mia pressed, "You have to pick just one!"
"Just one… If it's for playing, then both Dad Prescott and Mr. McCarthy are great. Dad Prescott is really brave when he takes me on adventures, but Mr. McCarthy is very careful. So for playing, I choose both. But Aunt Mia, you're asking me to choose just one because you want me to pick who marries my mom, right?"
"You're a smart one! Yes, you're picking a real dad for yourself. Who do you choose?" Mia asked again.
"Of course I choose Dad Prescott. I already call him Dad! Dad Prescott is really good at protecting my mom. He said in front of a lot of people that if anyone dares to touch a single hair on my mom's head, he'll pull out all their teeth!" Zane was remembering what Yves had said outside the ICU elevator that day.
"But I think Dr. McCarthy is more polite and stable. He has a good heart and a strong sense of justice," Helga chimed in from the side.
Mia looked at Helga.
Helga quickly smiled. "But then again, Mr. Prescott takes very good care of Winona, and all four of us, really."
"Grandma! You have to pick one too. Who is it?" Mia demanded.
The old woman blinked her often-inflamed eyes and said seriously, "I won't choose. I want Winona to choose. All I care about is Winona's happiness, her inner peace, and a good life for her. Whoever she chooses, I will consider them family."
Her grandmother's words caught Winona by surprise. Her eyes instantly reddened.
