Chapter 40 Treat Mom as a Daughter
Karina opened the door and walked into the room slowly with a bowl of noodles.
“Dustin, noodles are ready. Get up and have some.” She put the bowl on the table and saw Dustin’s
phone. She asked, “Did anyone call you just now?”
Dustin went blank for a moment and raised his head to look at Karina.
Then he shook his head and said, “Nope, I was watching the time.”
At the same time, he noticed his sister was keeping something from him. Naturally, he saw the deep
wounds in her hands.
“How do you get hurt?”
Karina withdrew her hands and said, “It doesn’t matter. I cut my hands carelessly.”
Dustin looked back and said, “Be careful next time. If dad and mom see your wounds, they would be NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
worried about you.”
Karina nodded her head and replied, “Well, I know.”
Patricia went back to her apartment and handed a bottle of water to Benjamin with a smile.
“My baby must be tired. Have some water.” Benjamin held the bottle but didn’t drink.
To the contrary, he raised his eyes and looked at Patricia. “Mom, you have never talked to me about
your family. It’s said that the Coleman Family has married one daughter to Archibald. Are the member
of Coleman Family your family?”
The words made Patricia lower down her head, and she said, “No, I have no families except you.”
Benjamin put down the bottle and then gave his mom who squatted in front of him a warm hug. “Mom,
you have suffered a lot.”
Patricia kept in silence, as if she gave a tacit consent to what Benjamin said.
Benjamin turned his back to Patricia with coldness in his eyes. He would never let those who treated
his mom badly live happily!
“Well, honey, I don’t want to mention the past anymore. Let’s clear up ourselves and go to bed. You
should go to school tomorrow.”
Benjamin pretended to be obedient and said, “Ok.”
At mid-night when Patricia had fallen into sleep, Benjamin got up from the bed.
He opened the laptop and logged on an unknown website full of secrets.
His hands moved quickly on the keyboard like thousands of pieces of shadow hovering around. His
hands were so fast that no one was able to catch up with them.
On the screen showed reports three years ago. Looking through articles defaming Patricia, his eyes
squinted gradually.
The mouse stopped on one of the reports which revealed that Coleman Family expelled their pregnant
daughter from home.
Staring at the picture in which Patricia carried a suitcase alone surrounding by reporters. The suitcase
fell on the ground, but no one helped her. Patricia didn’t pick up the suitcase. She covered her belly
with determination. The belly contained him.
“Coleman Family!”
Benjamin sneered and then moved his hands again. After a while, the screen went black.
When the screen turned on again, it was packed with symbols that ordinary people couldn’t
understand.
His hands moved again then he pressed “enter” key. Something wired appeared. The symbols
changed into characters. The characters were recent secret contracts in Coleman Group. Benjamin
downloaded all the files and closed the laptop. He wrapped his arms around his chest with a smile on
his face.
“It seemed that Coleman Family really cared about Coleman Group. Then I will let you suffer the pain
and lose everything.”
On the next day morning, Patricia was waked up by the alarm clock again. She jumped out of her bed
and reached for Benjamin beside. She said, “Honey, it’s time to get up. We will be late. Hurry up…”
Before she finished her words, she found there was no one beside her, the same scene as yesterday.
When she got changed and walked out of her bedroom, she saw that breakfast was ready and
Benjamin was taking off his apron.
Benjamin greeted, “Mom, good morning.”
Patricia scratched her head and replied, “Good morning, honey.”
When she stepped into the bathroom, she found that her toothpaste and mouth rinse were prepared
and the basin was filled with warm water. Looking at herself in the mirror with messy hair, she doubted
whether she was really Benjamin’s mom. It may be more reasonable for her to be his daughter.
When Patricia sat down beside the dining table, Benjamin stood behind her and combed her hair.
Looking at Patricia who was having breakfast quickly, Benjamin said, “Mom, you have enough time.
Don’t worry! It’s a windy day. I don’t tie your hair and just put it down. Is that ok?” Patricia nodded
without any hesitation.
After that Benjamin turned around to the bedroom for Patricia’s bag. Patricia took over the bag and
held her son’s hand. She squeezed his little soft hand with a smile face.
“Honey, you are so little now, but you have been arranging everything for me. I don’t need to do any
housework. I am wondering whether I am your mom.”
Benjamin tilted his head with a smile and said, “Of course, you are my mom. I want to treat you as a
daughter.”
Patricia lowered her head and rubbed her head. “Oh, my baby, I will definitely be sad if you find a
girlfriend when you grow up.”
Benjamin shook his head without any hesitation and said, “No, I won’t. I want to marry you, mommy. I
don’t like other woman.”
Patricia stretched out her hands and scraped her son’s nose.
She said with a smile face, “That’s nice. You cannot cheat me.”
Benjamin stretched out his little finger and said seriously, “No, I won’t cheat you. If you don’t trust me,
we can make a pink swear.”
Patricia stuck out her little finger without hesitation and said, “Ok, we should keep the promise forever.”
Benjamin nodded seriously and then thrust the laptop into his backpack. Patricia asked him in
confusion, “Honey, why do you take the laptop with you?”
