Chapter 57 Being Together
"Sweet boy, where is your mommy?" Christina asked in a soft voice, she held the little boy in her arms.
Then the little boy rubbed himself against her chest and put his chubby little hands around her neck tightly.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."
He kept on murmuring.
Every time he said the word mommy, Christina's heart beat faster and faster. In the end, she felt her nose ached, and her eyes
were filled with tears.
She felt sorry for the baby and wished she could hold him into her body.
The affectionate picture of Christina and the little boy reminded Carl of a mother and her child. At first, she felt cheesy when he
saw that scene, but gradually, he also felt very sad.
'Such a little kid coming out to look for his mother. His mother is a devil. How could she do something so heartbreaking?' he
thought.
He didn't know that too much of imagination is a disease.
"You don't even believe it yourself when you say you are a mother and he is your son. Anyway, I believe it, and my wits tell the
truth. "
"Christina, are you sure you're not hiding anything from me? You are not actually a mother? "
Carl's eyes, which were as sharp as the X-ray light, were staring at Christina.
For a moment, Christina wanted to escape. She was indeed a mother of a child, and the matter had never been made public.
Debbie didn't think she did anything wrong. Piggy was about the same age as piggy. She needed her mother's care. There were
many factors that could affect the baby's health, such as the baby's gender and the mother's attitude towards her.
"So what if I was?" She answered vaguely.
"Never mind. If you want to make your secret public someday, just let me know before you do. I'll be well prepared. " Although
Carl had a guess in his mind, he chose not to confirm it.
Everyone has his own secret and not everyone needs to know it.
"Thank you." Christina expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"Well, let's focus on this child first! "
"So far we don't know who sent him to us and what's the purpose, right?"
"Christina, have you found any note with the kid?"
"Nothing." Christina shook her head.
"What about useful information? You haven't found any on the child? " Carl didn't give up and kept asking.
"I haven't found any yet. If the kid doesn't tell me, there's nothing I can do either. "
Christina rubbed the little boy's hair.
"I'll go out to have a look. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Carl left the ward again. There were only Christina and the little boy left.
The boy was too quiet. It was as if he was invisible. He was not like a kid, because he didn't seem to have the nature that you
were supposed to have seen at this age.
What they could see from the child was that he was well-educated and well disciplined.
After reading the script for a while, Christina felt boring.
At that moment, her phone lit up.
Needless to check, she knew it was her son who was calling.
Should she pick up the phone?
If she didn't answer the phone, she might be in trouble and her son would refuse to eat well again.
But if she answered, her son would ask who the boy is.
It's really a tricky situation!
At last, Christina couldn't stand the pain of not seeing her beloved son, so she answered the phone.
"Mommy, I miss you so much." The soft voice echoed in her phone, sounds a little familiar to the boy with her.
Christina and her son was having a video chat, so she could see what he was doing, and he could see what goes on here.
He had been talking to Christina in a coquettish way.
In a second, he was distracted and looked at the boy next to his mommy.
Confusion was written all over his face. He bit his hand and blinked his big eyes.
"Mommy, who is he?" Christina's son, Jack, asked anxiously.
"This is a friend. Would you like to greet him? "
Since they were chatting happily, Christina pulled the little boy over so that Jack could see them more easily.
The baby boy was really sweet. He didn't move when Christina dragged him.
As the little boy got closer to the video, he saw Jack on the other side of the video. His eyes also trembled, and there was even a
bright light in them. But soon it disappeared.
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Jack. I'm three years old now. " Jack happily introduced himself.
"How old are you? What's your name? " Jack was so excited to meet a stranger of his age, and now he had abandoned his
mother - Christina. He could keep this conversation cheerfully on his own and kept trying to get respond from the boy on the
other side of the screen.
The little boy kept his mouth shut and it was as tight as a clam shell.
"Mommy, I am so sad. Why doesn't he talk to me? "
"Mommy, why wouldn't he talk to me? Is it because I'm not cute? "
"Mommy, can you let him speak?"
Since Jack was a baby till now, he had never met a kid of his same age. And that boy was the first so he was thrilled, he kept
trying to have a conversation with him.
It was just a one-sided show. Seeing this, Christina felt a little sad, but she could not say anything. After all, the boy was not hers.
"Sweetie, you can talk to Jack. He is a good boy and you can make good friends with him. "
The boy was watching Jack from the video intently. When he heard what Christina said, he looked back at her.
"My name is Allen. I'm three years old. "
"Great grandpa told me that children are the treasure of a happy family."
When he finished talking, the little boy who Christina now knew named Allen then looked back at the video.
When Christina heard that Allen said he was a three-year-old and that children are the treasure of a happy family, her grief
suddenly reached a peak.
"That's really nice name, Allen!" Christina stopped asking. She was afraid that if she asked more, Allen wouldn't tell her the
whole story.
When he finally heard the boy speak, Jack was so happy. And when he heard what Allen said, he wanted to jump up.
"Allen, we are both three years old. Could we be brothers? "
Fluttering, fluttering, he looked at Allen with his big, excited eyes.
"Yes."
Jack didn't expected that Allen would answer, but he did.
"I'm your brother. And I'm older than you. " Allen's voice was so low that she couldn't hear it.
"Yes, yes." Allen nodded.
The two boys talked and talked for a long time. Jack was mostly talking and Allen was mostly listening, and answering once in a
while.
The atmosphere between the two kids was very harmonious.
"Allen, I'm going to sleep. Let's talk tomorrow, okay? " Jack rubbed his eyes, he was really sleepy.
Because of the jet lag, Jack's time was at night.
"Bye."
He waved his hand and bid farewell to Jack clearly.
After the video was over, before Christina started to talk to Allen, Carl came back carrying a lot of things in his hands, his head
full of sweat.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Christina gave a bottle of water to him.
"Some are yours and some maybe the kid could use." As he spoke, Carl started to take something out of the bag.
"What did you buy?" Christina came over to look at the same time.
