“This matter is quite complicated. I’ll explain it to you slowly in the future, but it’s not what you think. Nana has a great personality, and you’ll come to like her in time.”
Tania remained silent.
Elliot then shifted the topic, remembering Lionel’s situation.
“Since you’re back, how about helping me arrange a ceremony for an ancestry registration?”
“A ceremony for ancestry registration? What are you planning to do?” Tania inquired.
With sparkling eyes, Elliot replied, “I plan to officially include Lionel in the ancestry, recognizing him as my brother adopted by my father.”
“Alright, you’ve always been decisive. Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll help you.”
Tania was efficient in handling matters.
Two days later, she gathered respected elders from the family to witness and record the event.
As it involved the internal affairs and traditions of the Jenkins family, Sheena did not join them and waited outside the hall.
Inside the hall, Lionel respectfully greeted Santiago, “Grandpa.”
After the elaborate ceremony, Lionel was officially registered under Elliot’s father’s name, now known as ‘Lionel Jenkins‘.
“Lionel, from now on, you’re a member of the Jenkins family. Be honest and upright, refrain from any unlawful activities, and remember to heed the guidance of the Jenkins family leader,” Santiago advised.
“Yes, Grandpa,” Lionel obediently responded.
“You may go.” Santiago tapped his cane, signaling Lionel to Elliot.
Lionel approached Elliot, all smiles as he said, “Mr. Jenkins, thank you!”
Elliot, feeling a bit annoyed, patted his head. “I’m your elder brother now. From now on, you should call me Elliot!”
Lionel, serving him tea, enthusiastically exclaimed, “Elliot!”
Sheena silently watched from outside.
Lionel’s return from Laubabwe was rewarding, and she genuinely felt happy for him.
After a complicated one–hour registration process, the ceremony finally concluded.

As a gift for joining the Jenkins family, Elliot presented Lionel with a small mansion conveniently located near E&S Haven, just a couple of alleys away.
Upon learning about Lionel’s new mansion, Jacintha showered him with congratulations. Then, she dragged him along to procure new items for the new mansion.
Once they were gone, Elliot wasted no time.
It was time for Sheena’s prenatal checkup, and he personally drove her to the Svelton General Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department.
Elliot could not enter the ward while the doctor was checking on Sheena.
He anxiously sat in the corridor, his inner turmoil evident.
This child was conceived when the virus was still present in his body, and there was a possibility that the child might not be normal at birth, carrying the bio–virus.
There was even a risk of transmitting the virus to Sheena, endangering her health.
The more he dwelled on these thoughts, the more restless he became. So, he secretly called Yosef.
Surprised by the sudden call, Yosef asked, “Elliot, what’s going on? You never contact me willingly. Is there something wrong again?”
“Do you want me to be sick so badly?” Elliot’s face darkened. Without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point. “If Nana’s child carries the virus, can it be detected at this stage?”
Yosef asked, “How far along is she in her pregnancy?”
