Chapter 27
After hearing what I said, Aimee was stunned for a while. Then she asked coldly, “Mr. Carter said that it was Bonnie who asked Aviva and Cyrus to be fired from the kindergarten. Why do you think I would help her now? Why do I have to help her child since Bonnie bullied me so much? Do you think I am the Virgin Mary?”
I narrowed my eyes and said coldly, “what do you mean? Do you think Lundy… Is Bonnie’s child?””
“Isn’t it?”
Hearing Aimee’s rhetorical question, I stared at her face for a long time, but there was no trace of disguise.
I withdrew my sight and was shocked, and then overwhelmed by confusion.
Aimee had always thought that Lundy was Bonnie’s child!
I always thought it was this woman who was cruel enough to abandon Lundy. When I saw that she was completely strange to Lundy after she came back, I only felt that this woman was heartless.
But obviously, she didn’t know that Lundy was her biological son at all.
What the hell was going on?
My heart was in a mess.
After a long time, I asked word by word with a gloomy face, “when did I say that Lundy is Bonnie’s child?”
“Mommy!” Not far away, voices came, “I finally found you! Are you okay?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two kids rushed over like small cannonballs and separated Aimee from me. Aimee’s friend, Daphne, also followed them.
The two kids stared at me angrily.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stiff.
Daphne said first, “what’s up? Let’s go out and talk.”
Seeing them leave, I strode to follow them.
After going out, Aimee turned to look at me and said, “I’ll go with you.”
I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded t. “Thank you.”
Aimee got on my car with the kids.
Bill started the car slowly and drove towards the Carter’s mansion.
On the way, I briefly told Aimee about Lundy’s condition and treatment experience in the past few years.
Bill drove very fast and soon returned to the manor.
After getting off the car, I took Aimee and the two kids to the second floor.
Aimee’s POV
As soon as I got to the second floor, I saw the man guarding at the door of Lundy’s room. I knew he was Penn’s friend, Geoffrey,.
Seeing us, Geoffrey raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded at me. “Miss Miller.”
I nodded in response. All my attention was on Lundy. “Where is Lundy? I’ll go and have a look.”
Hearing this, Geoffrey pointed to a corner of the room.
I followed the direction he pointed and saw the little guy curling up in the corner with his arms around his knees. His eyes were empty, like a delicate doll without a soul.
Every time I thought of the sweet smile on his face when he saw me, my heart ached so much that I couldn’t breathe.
I tiptoed into the room. I squatted down in front of the little guy and called his name softly, “Lundy, Auntie is here.”
Lundy didn’t respond at all.
Seeing him like this, I couldn’t make a sound for a while.
Geoffrey reminded in a low voice, “Miss Miller, Lundy has isolated himself from the outside world. You have to communicate more with him so that you can call him out of your world. You have to be patient.”
Hearing this, I tried to calm myself down. I nodded silently and talked to Lundy.
“Lundy, I’ve come to see you. I’ve also brought brother and sister to see you. Look, they are all here!”
The two kids came over in a hurry. As usual, Cyrus made a face at Lundy. “I’m here to see you. Don’t cry later!”
Frowning, Aviva looked into Lundy’s eyes and said, “just be in a daze for a while. Let’s play with you later, okay?”
Lundy still didn’t respond.
The two kids sniffed and changed another way. They continued to talk nonsense to Lundy. They even talked about what happened between us at Universal Studios today and said that they would take him with them when he recovers.
Lundy still sat there without rolling his eyes.
Seeing this, the two kids’ eyes turned red. They turned their heads and pulled my sleeves. “Mommy, it seems that my brother can’t hear us. What should we do…”
The two kids cried.
My eyes were slightly red, but I still tried to calm down. I touched the heads of the two kids and comforted them, ” brother will be fine. You can have a rest. Mommy will talk to him for a while.”
The two kids pursed their lips and quietly retreated behind me.
I carefully reached out my hands and held Lundy on my legs. No matter whether he could hear or not.
Lundy was like a doll at my disposal.
I spent almost a whole day with Lundy.
But the little guy still didn’t respond.
It’s getting dark. Although I can’t let him go, it’s time for me to leave.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I will come to see you tomorrow. You must be fine.” Before leaving, I gave Lundy a big hug.
The two kids also lined up and hugged the little boy.
When we were about to leave, my dress was caught.
I was stunned and looked back in disbelief. I only saw that Lundy was still staring at the distance without any focus, but his little hand was tightly grasping my skirt hem.
I thought Lundy had completely isolated himself from the outside world.
But I didn’t expect that he could feel my existence and didn’t want me to leave.
Seeing him like this, I felt so sorry for him that I almost couldn’t breathe. I stood there for a few seconds before slowly turning around and walking to Lundy. I squatted down and looked into the little guy’s eyes. “Lundy, you know Auntie is here, right?”
Lundy’s face was still as dull as before, but his little hand grabbed my skirt hem tightly.
Aviva and Cyrus couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, let’s take my brother back, okay?”
Take Lundy back
My heart skipped a beat. I turned around and looked at the two people at the door with hesitation.
Penn and Geoffrey also heard what the two kids said. Geoffrey said seriously, “I think it’s okay. It’s a great progress that Lundy will react to you. If you spend more time with him, he will be more likely to recover.”
Penn stared at the small hand on the hem of my dress.
After a long while, he withdrew his sight and said in a low voice, “I’ll drive you home. Wait a moment. I’ll ask Cheryl to pack up some daily necessities for Lundy.”
Seeing him agree, the two kids and I were surprised.
The two kids turned around and hugged Lundy, smiling. “We will take good care of you!”
Penn will drive us away later.
Lundy was held in my arms like a doll. After getting on the car, he clung to me and grabbed my dress unconsciously.
Aviva sat in the passenger seat.
On the way, Penn told me in detail what I need to pay attention to when taking care of Lundy
He said in a low voice, “thank you for helping Lundy in the past two days.”
I lowered my eyes and replied indifferently, “as I said, the child is innocent. I will take good care of him.”
After sending us back, Penn didn’t stay long. He watched us settle down in Lundy’s room, said goodbye to Lundy and left.
Looking at the little guy at home, I felt a little strange.
How could Penn leave his son to me so easily?
However, when I saw the dull look on Lundy’s face, I forgot all these thoughts.
