Daniel had been awake for a few hours, and seeing his Grandfather's face gave him no joy; he felt nothing other than the fire of vengeance that had begun to grow inside him. He quietly waited for him to wake up.
He woke up eventually and declared with some difficulty.
"You can't go back."
"Okay."
"I know it's har-- What are you really okay? "Gerald was surprised by Daniel's reaction; he thought his spoiled grandson would resist more. He didn't want to admit it, but Daniel's upbringing was something he resents.
"Did you hear what I said? You will not be able to go back? Are you still confused?" Gerald doubled down but seeing no reaction from Daniel gave him slight relief.
He never replied, but that silence told Gerald everything he needed to hear. He simply exhaled and changed the subject.
