She had only found out that Harold liked Transformers after she asked George about it yesterday.Early in the morning today, she had gone to the store and bought the most luxurious Transformer for Harold.However, that little b*stard actually threw the toy that she had carefully selected to the floor.Could she never make Harold acknowledge her as his mother no matter what she did?“Ms. Daugherty, the young master is still ill, so he needs to rest. He can’t experience huge emotional stress. Please step out first.” Mr. Brown walked over before he spoke sternly but respectfully.Dew bit her bottom lip and refused to leave.She was there to work hard on rebuilding her relationship with her son. How could she just leave like that?“Mom, please step out first. You can come in after Harold calms down,” George said indifferently.When George said that, she had to listen to him.She left the ward after she turned back and took a look multiple times.However, the moment she stepped ou
George picked up the broken Transformer from the floor, fixed it up nicely, and placed it beside the bed.“No matter what, she’s our mother. You can refuse to love her, but you have to respect her,” he said stoically.Harold rubbed his red eyes without answering.George knew that they could not keep talking about the subject.He paused for a while before he resumed. “Were those two kids who came to visit you the night before yesterday your classmates from preschool?”Harold’s mood instantly brightened.He smiled faintly, and his eyes were filled with joy. “They’re Alden and Melody. They came with Aunt Adina to visit me.”“Melody?” George looked up. “The girl’s name is Melody?”“Yes, I call her Mel. George, I’m telling you, Mel’s so cute. She doesn’t like to speak, but her eyes are full of stories. Her eyes are as big as black grapes. Whenever Mel looks at me, I feel like I have the whole world.”Harold’s eyes were bright like the Milky Way.George was influenced by Harold’s e
He slowly asked, “What is that little girl’s relationship with Adina?”Earlier in the ward, Harold mentioned that Melody had followed Adina to visit him in the hospital.Now, Melody was in the same place as Adina.Besides, Adina was holding another boy’s hand.He began to suspect something… Dew’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.George rarely showed interest in anything or anyone, but he had actually taken the initiative to ask about that little b*stard?That little b*stard was Adina’s daughter and also George’s sister!If there was an invisible blood tie connecting the siblings, would George quickly find out that Adina was his and Harold’s biological mother with his high intelligence?In an instant, countless thoughts filled Dew’s mind.She took a deep breath and said, “I’m also curious about the little girl’s relationship with Adina. Even if Adina immediately got pregnant after she went missing four years ago, she can’t have a daughter of this age.”She was trying to say th
Adina brought the two kids into the ward.The gloomy Harold jumped happily.“Aunt Adina, I love you so much! I was just missing you, and you came with Mel. I’m so happy!”Adina smiled and said, “Alden suggested that we visit you. He’s worried that you’re too lonely.”Harold pouted in suspicion. “That’s impossible. He likes to bully me the most. Why would he suggest visiting me?”“It’s true.” Adina stroked his head and lowered her voice. “Actually, Alden’s very worried about you, but he’s shy, so he doesn’t show it.”Harold secretly looked up, just in time to look Alden in the eyes.Alden did not avoid Harold’s stare. “As long as you like my sister, I can try to like you too,” he said indifferently.“I don’t care if you like me!”Harold turned around awkwardly.However, his ears had turned red. Clearly, he was in a pretty good mood.Alden sat down by the bed, looked down, and asked, “Where’s your Dad? Why isn’t he in the hospital?”“He said that he would come and keep me com
He had always thought all that was nonsense. Right then, he finally realized that they had been partially right. Ms. Daugherty had given birth to a pair of twins, not stillborns.The boy was obedient, and the girl was beautiful. They were easy on the eyes!Mr. Brown stared at Alden for a while before he was suddenly taken aback again.Why did this boy look exactly like the master when he was little? The boy’s imposing manner as he sat in the chair was a replica of the master’s.Oh gosh!He must be too old, and his sight must have become blurry for him to have such a misperception.Mr. Brown shook his head strongly to get rid of the ridiculous mistake. Then, he squatted down, grinned, and said, “You’re Alden, right? Can I call you ‘Young Master Alden?’”Alden politely replied, “You can call me Alden.”“You’re such a good boy. Come, I’ll give you some candy.” Mr. Brown took out plenty of fruit candies from his pocket. These were the items that he would usually use to coax Harol
Alden and Duke walked to the corridor outside the ward.Harold ate while he curiously asked, “Why did Alden want to talk to my dad?”He was frightened when he saw his dad, and he did not want to talk to his dad alone.Adina also felt slightly curious.However, Alden had his own secrets, and she would not ask him about them.She smiled and said, “Your dad’s great, so Alden wants to become a great person like him too.”Harold’s curiosity lasted for a while before he immediately forgot about it.He was still much happier with Aunt Adina and Mel. His dad had better not come in anymore!Duke still had no idea that his own son despised him. “What would you like to talk about? You can go ahead and say it.” He spoke indifferently.“I’ve been interested in programming lately. I wonder if you have any opinions about it, Uncle Duke?” Alden took out an Introductory Programming Tutorial book and seemed to be thirsty for knowledge.Duke was not surprised.Geniuses were probably interested
“It’s LaStar Technology Corporation, right?”Alden’s heart sank.This man knew everything indeed.He pursed his lips and walked into the ward.He pushed the door open and stood at the door. “Mom, I want to go home.”Adina was feeding Harold, and she was stunned. “Why do you suddenly want to go back? Give me five more minutes. We’ll leave after I finish feeding Harold.”“I want to go home now.”Alden was rarely that insistent. He almost never acted presumptuously in front of so many people.Adina thought that he was not feeling well, so she just placed the remaining food in Duke’s hand. “You can feed Harold then. We’ll be off now.”Alden had already turned around and left. Adina then held Melody’s hand and ran after him.Duke and Harold were instantly left in the ward.Harold still had some food in his mouth that he had not swallowed. When he looked at the suddenly empty ward, he pouted. “Dad, you’re terrible. You just scared Alden and made him leave as soon as you came! He’s
Alden slowly curled his fingers.There were only three members in the Winters family, including Duke, Harold, and the boy whom he had met outside the ward that day.Harold was not capable.Mom said that it was not Duke.Then, it could only be… “George Winters, Harold’s elder brother,” Adina softly replied. “Duke already apologized to me on his behalf, and he’s also willing to compensate me for all the losses. Alden, you don’t have to look into this matter anymore.”Alden pursed his lips. “So his name is George.”Adina felt surprised. “Have you met him?”She was quite curious about George’s appearance, but she did not have a chance to properly meet him.“I met him outside Harold’s ward,” Alden said. “Did he apologize to you, Mom?”Adina smiled and did not talk about it again. She held her children’s hands and softly said, “Both of you are just four years old, so your most important mission now is to study. You don’t have to care about anything else, especially you, Alden. You
