Chapter 656 - 652: Celebration

"I'm not sure either. Maybe he received the abilities that I shared with you? That shouldn't be possible though. Somehow it became possible," the Ancient being inside Ryder replied.

"Are you sure Nyx?" Ryder asked, frowning. "Because I still can't see anything out of the ordinary with him?"

"You can't see because your body has special powers. And your soul has borrowed powers. But my soul was born with all this. I have a better understanding than you," the being replied who had previously introduced himself as Nyx to Ryder.

"Are you again talking to yourself again? You and this habit of yours," Esmi said, smiling. "Let me hold this little guy as well."

"Here, be careful." Ryder handed over the little guy to Esmi.

Esmi glared at Ryder. "It's not my first time holding a newborn genius."

She carefully took the little guy in his embrace. "His eyes are beautiful."

"Of course. It's my son after all," Ryder smiled.

The two of them walked to Alice and sat down.

Alice was weakly looking at Ryder with a calm smile on her face.

"Your little prince is a cutie pie. He'll steal the hearts of many girls in the future. You should be alert," Esmi laughed as she handed the little guy to Alice. "In other words, he'll be even better than his father at it."

"So, that's his name going to be?" She further asked.

As Alice was too emotional after holding her newborn in her hand, she just kept looking at the kid. He and Ryder were both orphans and lived most of their lives without parents, only having the support of each other.

Holding her baby in her hand, she knew that her family was now complete. She promised to herself that she was already going to be with her son, not leaving him alone. He was going to grow up without lacking anything. He was going to be the happiest kid in this world.

"Alice? Come out of your daze. You have your whole life to look at this little guy. But first we need to decide his name," Esmi called out, bringing Alice out of her daze.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Alice came out of her daze.

"Yeah. I was asking you about the name. What are you going to name him?"

"Why don't you suggest a nice name?" Alice asked Esmi.

"Me? Hahaha, I don't think I should influence this decision. It should be his and your mutual decision. I already had the opportunity to name one little devil. This time you should come up instead," Esmi let out laughing.

Alice looked at the little boy before looking at Ryder. "What name do you have in mind?"

"I do have a name in my mind, but let me hear your choice first," Ryder responded.

"I was thinking about going with Alex... Alex Flynn," Alice answered.

"Alex?" Hearing the name, Ryder was slightly taken aback. Alice had chosen the name of his father.

"Yeah. It was the name of your father. And it's a nice name as well. Let's bring the name back to life..." Alice replied. "What do you think?"

Ryder took a deep breath before shaking his head.

"I think we should leave that name where it belonged. We shouldn't try to bring the name back. We don't need to name our son like that. My father had a seperate place in my heart which will never disappear. And I want a different place for my son."

"That was the name I thought of. What name do you have in mind?" Alice asked.

"I want to name him Nyx..." Ryder replied. "What do you all think?"

Hearing Ryder's suggestion, Nyx was surprised a bit. Ryder was naming his son based on him instead? That was a sweet gesture but surprising as well.

"Nyx? What kind of stupid name is that?" Esmi exclaimed, rolling her eyes. "Moreover it sounds like the name of a girl. Rejected! I won't let your kid go through such an embarra.s.sing name."

"Cough! Cough!"

Inside Ryder's body, Nyx started coughing. Someone was actually calling his name stupid and feminine.

"It's not a stupid name. In fact, the name has great significance. It's just that we're not familiar with it."

"I don't care. The little boy will become a b.u.t.t of all jokes with that name. Select a different name!" Esmi firmly stated.

"Who dares to make jokes on my son's name. They'll never be seen again. You know no one will mock my son." Ryder folded his arms.

"I like that name. Let's name him Nyx," Alice chimed in, siding with Ryder. Since he wanted to name their kid Nyx, she didn't want to take away his right. If it gave him happiness, he was fine with it.

"You too? Sigh. Fine. Nyx it is." Esmi also caved in. Since the other two agreed, who was she to say no.

"It's decided then. Welcome to the new world, little Nyx," Ryder exclaimed, gently touching the cheeks of the young boy.

Shu also stepped inside after being informed that everything was done and it was a baby boy.

"Congratulations on having a son!'

"Ah, Shu. Meet your nephew Nyx Flynn!" Ryder happily stood up, welcoming Shu.

"You already named him? And Nyx?" Shu asked, stunned.

"I know, right?" Esmi exclaimed. "But that's his name now."

"Is it not a good name?" Ryder asked.

"It is a good name. It's just that it sounds a bit feminine," Shu exclaimed, smiling wryly.

"He too," the real Nyx let out, disappointed. Why was it that everyone in this world considered his name feminine?

"It just seems that way. But it'll become the new norm. Don't worry," Ryder exclaimed, laughing.

"Hahaha, congrats on a boy Sir!" Another well dressed man barged inside the room, congratulating Ryder.

"Ah, Aleson! I was wondering where you were! Come, meet your nephew, Nyx Flynn!" Ryder exclaimed.

Aleson was one of the first workers he had hired. He also worked as the head of the Research department for Ryder in the medical field. He was also the Managing Director of this hospital and all the medical facilities that belonged to Ryder, working under him.

"Nyx?" Even Aleson was surprised with this name, but he didn't comment anything. "That's a nice name."

"You don't have to lie man," Shu commented, smiling wryly.

"Anyway, Aleson. Today is the day my son is born. I want no patients to be billed today. Everything today shall be free for them, from me," Ryder reminded Aleson.

"I'll handle that," Aleson nodded.. He made a few calls and instructed the people who worked under him.
