Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the villa, the doctor gave Old Madam Barker an injection and her complexion finally eased.
Aunt Julia stepped forward and carefully pulled the blanket over the old lady before walking out of the room with the doctor.
As they walked, she asked, “Doctor, the old lady vomited blood twice in a row today and fell into a coma. Is her condition particularly serious right now?”
The doctor’s face was solemn. “If I’m being honest with you, things don’t look optimistic. Her health was never good, to begin with, and she has a lot on her mind too. Not even God can help if she can’t let go of the depressing feelings within her heart!”
Aunt Julia imdiately covered her lips with both hands. She asked in a choking voice, “In that case…is there any other way?”
“I can only do my best.”
Following that assurance, the doctor handed the prescribed dicine to Aunt Julia. “As usual, take them on ti and follow the amount stated.”
Aunt Julia took it and could not help but feel puzzled when she saw another extra dication. “Why is there another different dicine?”
The doctor replied naturally, “This is a special dication. The old lady is in a grave condition right now so the dosage has to be increased as appropriate. This will have to be taken daily as well. It will further preserve her health.”
Aunt Julia nodded repeatedly. “I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
“The old lady will probably regain consciousness soon. Rember to give her the dicine as soon as she’s awake,” the doctor reminded her again.
“Understood!”
…
Early that morning in Emsteldt, Samantha was cooking breakfast for Matthew in the kitchen.
Even though he had lived abroad since he was born, he was very fond of cuisine from his holand and preferred that compared to an Emsteldtian-style breakfast.
Therefore, she made an exquisitely delicious breakfast for him every morning.
When she was done, she ca out with a small plate and placed it on the dining table before looking at the living room.
She initially thought that Matthew was still putting together the Gelo blocks that he did not finish a day before. After all, he had sowhat of an obsessive-compulsive disorder and always insisted on finishing what he started.
To her surprise, he was nowhere near the Gelo blocks and was sitting on the sofa instead. He held her tab in his hand and had a serious expression as he looked intently at the screen.
Samantha called him twice but he did not seem to hear it.
She was a little surprised.
Although other children liked watching cartoons on their tab, her little boy hated childish stuff and rarely used the tab as a result.
Samantha started wondering if the world had turned upside down that day. What could possibly have attracted Matthew’s attention and made him stare so intently at the tab?
Since he did not answer her when she called him, she could only take off her apron and walk over.
“What are you looking at, darling?” she asked, then sat beside him and looked at the screen.
A man’s stunningly handso face was displayed on the screen. His facial features were so familiar to her that she could feel it even in her bones and a little smile appeared on her lips.
Timothy Barker.
She never thought that Matthew would be looking at him!
She clenched her hand and held her breath before looking at the video again. It was a snippet of the video from the summit, the excerpt of which had been uploaded onto the internet. It was one of the more popular videos as of then.
Did Matt accidentally click on that video?
Samantha squeezed out a smile and spoke to Matthew in as natural a tone as possible, “Do you know this person?”
Matthew unconsciously blurted out. “I don’t know him!”
Samantha’s anxious heart finally felt at ease.
Her guess turned out to be correct…
The next second, however, he added sowhat disgustedly, “He’s a bad person!”
Samantha’s heart leaped up to her throat again.
If he did not know who Timothy was, how could he know that Timothy was a bad person?
Did Matthew et Timothy before?
It seed unlikely. She was with Timothy almost every day and knew the people he ca into contact with. There was no way he could co into contact with Timothy.
Unless…
Samantha had never paid attention to any news involving Timothy, so she imdiately took out her cell phone to find out when the summit was held.
She discovered that it was held in Emsteldt the previous morning.
If he went to the airport imdiately after the summit ended, he would probably be at the airport at around the ti Alan brought Matthew back from Vincent’s side.
In other words, the airport was the only place they could et!
Samantha felt a little chill down her spine.
Genetics was a fascinating aspect of human life. Samantha had seen many photos of Timothy from when he was a child and Matthew was so similar to a young Timothy that he could almost be said to be a carbon copy of the latter.
Would Timothy suspect anything after seeing Matthew?
There was not much she feared, but her greatest concern was whether or not Timothy would do sothing if he discovered the child’s existence.
Matthew was everything to her and she could never lose him.
She unconsciously hugged Matthew with both hands and her voice was a little weak when she asked, “Matthew, can you tell if you’ve seen this man?”
Matthew seed stunned for a mont as if he never imagined her to ask that question in the first place. He covered his mouth with a hand and said, “I can’t say.”
She was fine with letting him keep so of his little secrets when it ca to other things, but on that occasion, she had to get to the bottom of it.
Samantha looked at him calmly and did not pressure him with the sa question again. However, she rephrased it into another question and said, “Well, if you can’t tell , then maybe you can tell who you promised to not talk about it. You can answer that, right Matthew?”
Matthew thought for a mont.
He had only promised Alan not to ntion the incident about being lost and there seed to be no restriction on anything else.
Matthew imdiately felt as if the burden in his heart was lifted and he answered decisively, “It was Dadd— I an, Uncle Alan.”
Samantha’s tension relaxed by half when she heard that.
The agreent was not made with Timothy after all. In that case, Timothy probably did not notice anything.
She thought for a while and then asked, “Did you…” She pointed to Timothy on the screen and continued, “…talk with that man? Did you say sothing?”
Matthew’s face sank even more. “He thinks I’m noisy, and he says you’re a bad mother. He also said he doesn’t like !”
The little boy then had a disdainful look on his face as well. “I don’t like him either, Mommy!”
“He said, he…doesn’t like you?”
Samantha repeated that sentence. A sense of profound sadness and anger surged into her heart before she knew it.
She did not expect much of Timothy actually and felt uncomfortable because of that sentence alone.
Sure enough, he never wanted children in the first place.
His purpose for having a child was simply to use them as a tool. It was the sa ever since the beginning.
At that ti, he pretended to be sincere, excited and even browsed through a dictionary so diligently to choose a na.
How laughable.
How utterly laughable!
Fortunately for her, she had been decisive enough to engineer that accident when she was certain that she wanted to keep the baby.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to keep the child.
The video was showing a clip of Timothy answering the reporter’s question. “The wedding will be held on the first of next month!”
There was a deep sense of sarcasm in Samantha’s eyes when she looked at him across the screen.
She turned off the tab display, closed her eyes, then took a deep breath and smiled. “Let’s have breakfast, Matt.”
After breakfast, Samantha walked to the balcony and took out her cell phone.. She looked at the screen for a few seconds before finally making a call.
