Chapter 113
“You’re not my real mom Youre the reason my mom is dead You’re just a fake Cotton’s words made Farrah’s face turn as white
as a sheet
Farrah gripped her bag tightly, a fierce look in her eyes.
Astrid observed Farrah’s reaction and gently tugged at Jon, “Jon, could you switch seats with him? Colton and I are friends. Id
like to have a chat with him” Since Astrid asked, let’s switch You sit here. I’ll take your place “Jon got up, and Cotton immediately
bowed to him “Thanks!
Colton sat down, his face lit up with a big grin
Soon, the plane took off
When the flight attendant saw Astrid coughing she asked, “Would you like me to get you some hot water?”
That’d be great thank you Astrid nodded
After a while, the fight attendant brought the hot water and smiled as she handed it over The water’s hot. Be careful not to scald
yourself”
As Astrid reached out to take the water, the plane jolted, causing the water to splash out of the cup.
In that split second Colten put his arm in front of Astrid, taking the scalding water on his arm.
Dolton, are you okay?” Astrid hadn’t expected Colton to intervene, let alone be so quick.
A person with developmental issues shouldn’t have been so alert!
7’m fine, as long as you’re okay.” He continued to smile innocently. Astrid stared at him for a while but couldn’t detect anything
abnormal.
They were sitting close, and Astrid faintly detected the smell of medicine.
“Cotten, drink this medicine Farrah handed him a cup, the medicinal smell intensifying as the cup was opened.
Colton stared at the medicine for a while, hesitating before finally taking the cup.
Astrid tried to stop him but realized he’d already downed the medicine. “I’m brave. I’m not afraid of bitterness.”
Astrid didn’t respond, but her perception of Farrah began to change.
She noticed one of the ingredients in the medicine Farrah gave Colton could cause central nervous system damage over time
and negatively impact a child’s intelligence and memory. Colton was brilliant before five, but then his development stalled. It
seemed clear that Farrah had been poisoning him.
Farrah seemed nervous about Colton sitting next to her. She kept looking back, clearly hiding something.
After a moment, Astrid asked, “Where are you guys headed this time?”
Im going to try bungee jumping.” Colton was always excited whenever he talked about it. “I really love bungee jumping. Do you?”
Though there were plenty of places to bungee jump domestically, Farrah insisted on taking Colton abroad to experience it.
Astrid laughed, “I like it too. Does Farrah often take you out to play alone?”
“Not really, there’s usually a lot of people. Besides you guys, everyone in this first–class cabin was brought by her. Pretty
impressive, huh?” Astrid was taken aback by his meaningful words.
