Chapter 43: Memory
Saturday, Mike’s house, Charles’ room.
Mike sat on the edge of the bed and Charles stood in front of him, looking down at his toes.
Outside the door, Eric and Clark looked nervously at the door.
“Charles, do you know what privacy is?”
silence…
“That’s a private area that has nothing to do with you! You just peep at someone’s privacy, what’s the difference between you and a thief?”
“I’m not a thief, I’m… just curious.”
Charles’ fingers tangled like knots, his voice getting lower and lower.
“Just think about it, how would you feel if your little secret was discovered by others?”
“I, I won’t say it.”
Charles was very nervous. It was the first time he saw Mike accuse him so harshly.
“It’s not a matter of saying it or not, it’s that you shouldn’t do it at all!”
Charles sobbed: “I see, I won’t do it again.”
Mike softened his heart and said, “You haven’t fully controlled your abilities. If you don’t pay attention, you will hurt others.”
“I was wrong, Dad.”
Charles looked at Mike with tears in his eyes and said, “I won’t do that in the future.”
Mike stretched out his hand to Charles, and Charles threw himself into Mike’s arms, sobbing softly.
Suddenly, pain flashed in Charles’ eyes.
Under the emotional agitation, the ability that was not under control began to lose control.
Mike frowned and soothed Charles, but then he felt keenly that something got into his head.
“Charles?”
Mike hugged Charles and called softly.
but didn’t think…
Charles shoved Mike away with a painful look on his face, but said in a panic, “Who is that woman? Is that our mother?”
Mike frowned and said, “Control your abilities!”
He didn’t know what else Charles would read.
“Do not!”
Charles shouted and stared at Mike closely, digging into Mike’s memory.
It was the first time he had seen information about his mother.
When Mike took out a card and was about to use it, Charles shouted, “Dad, don’t! I want to see what she looks like!”
His fingers trembled slightly, Mike sighed and put away the cards.
A few seconds later, after reading the memory of his life experience, Charles was shocked too much, and his ability was out of control, and he fainted directly.
Mike looked helpless.
It’s okay to pass out, but it’s troublesome to wake up.
Putting Charles on the bed, Mike walked out of the room, met two pairs of nervous eyes, sighed helplessly, and said, “His ability is out of control, and he fainted temporarily.”
Clark and Eric breathed a sigh of relief.
Just passed out, no problem.
Mike waved his hand and said, “You look at him, I’ll go down first.”
It seems that Charles should have read their life experience and know that they are not his biological children.
How to do?
What will this child say to him when he wakes up, how will he face him? How does he deal with this child?
Mike scratched his hair irritably.
After a few seconds, he sighed faintly.
Charles is his child, a fact that no one can change.
Checking the time, Mike walked to the kitchen.
Let’s prepare lunch for them first.
Time passed little by little.
Based on past experience, McBee thought Charles would wake up before lunch, but Charles didn’t wake up until they were done eating.
Mike walked into Charles and Eric’s room with his lunch, stood in front of Charles’ bed for half a minute, put the lunch on the table next to him, and whispered, “If you’re hungry, get up and eat.”
When the words fell, Mike walked out of the room and said to Eric who was standing at the door: “I’m right downstairs, call me if you have something.”
Eric nodded, watched Mike go downstairs, pursed his lips, pushed open the door and walked in, and then, as expected, saw Charles who was gobbling up.
After closing the door, Eric folded his arms and said coldly, “Why are you pretending to be unconscious?”
“I didn’t pretend, I really passed out.”
“Since you’re awake, why didn’t you let me tell Dad? What do you have to tell me?”
When he found that Charles was awake, he wanted to tell Mike as soon as possible, but Charles stopped him and said he had something to tell him.
Charles swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and said, “Wait for me for a minute, I will tell you after I finish eating!”
Eric hummed softly.
For a while, there was only the sound of Charles eating in the room.
“Gudong, Gudong!”
After drinking the juice in one gulp, Charles hiccupped and sat cross-legged on the bed with Eric still staring at him. When Eric rushed in front of him impatiently, he raised his head and said to Eric slowly: ” I see Mommy in Dad’s memory.”
“Yeah!” Eric was stunned, but then slowly said in a calm tone that surprised Charles: “So what?”
Charles pursed his lips and said, “See for yourself!”
With that said, he used his ability to put the memory he saw from Mike back into Eric’s mind.
A moment later, Eric sat next to Charles, his face was deep inappropriate for his age.
Charles said: “So, we are not father’s biological children, that person…”
“Shut up!” Eric glared at Charles and said, “I only have this dad! I don’t recognize anyone except him!”
Charles was silent for a while, and said, “Dad is Dad, but you are not curious, why does Mom prefer to hand us over to Dad instead of him? Don’t you want to meet him?”
Eric looked at Charles and said, “What do you want to do?”
“Let’s find him!” Charles jumped off the bed and said, “Then use my ability to find out why!”
Eric pouted and said, “Then do you know he’s there? Do you know what he looks like?”
“I know!” Charles nodded and said, “I found the answer from Dad’s memory.”
“Huh? Dad knows?”
“After he adopted us, he searched for the man’s information and planned to tell us when we grew up.”
Eric: “Then we…”
“If you want to join, then go with me now, if not, I will go alone!”
Charles made a decision.
“Just you? You’re stupid, what if you get lost?” Eric sarcastically said, “So, let me take you there!”
Charles showed a smile and said, “Then go now!”
Saying that, they took out their backpacks and started to pack up.
A change of clothes, pocket money that I usually save, and a skateboard for the two of them.
Opening the window, with the help of Eric’s ability, the two fell to the ground, glanced at the home behind them, and ran into the distance.
I don’t know…
Clark saw what they said and what they did.
Clark’s eyes flashed, he no longer used his perspective ability, and looked at Mike beside him.
