Tears welled up in Ben's eyes. He glanced at Alston's serious face and scolded coldly, "Go to sleep!"
Still sitting on the sofa stubbornly, Alston looked at Ben without moving. "I can't fall asleep!"
Ben frowned and looked at him with dangerous eyes. "How can you fall asleep if I don't go to sleep?"
"Tell me first. What are you thinking about?" Alston asked with unwillingness. His black eyes were full
of stubbornness, and Ben looked at Alston helplessly. He still looked at him seriously and said, "Are
you being disobedient?"
"I'm just concerned about you. I'll tell me what I'm thinking. Tell me what you're thinking. Is that okay?"
The boy asked tentatively. Although he sat still on the sofa stubbornly, he was a little timid because of
the unprecedented sternness of Ben, and his tone of speaking seemed to be somewhat lack of
confidence.
Ben said, "I'm not thinking about anything. You go to bed first!"
Alston still looked at him stubbornly. With a frown, Ben said coldly, "You are as stubborn as your
mother." Alston shook his head and said, "I'm just caring about you!"
Ben couldn't help laughing. He looked at Alston and said, "I see!"
With a preoccupied look on his face, Ben noticed that something was wrong with him. He suddenly
looked serious, looked at him and said with disappointment, "Alston, tell me what you are thinking
about."
Seeing that Ben was eager to talk, Alston hurriedly negotiated with him, "Then Dad, you should also tell
me of your thoughts!"
Hearing that, the corners of his mouth froze. Finally, he said seriously, "I'm thinking of you!"
Alston smiled and suddenly threw himself into his arms. "Don't worry. I won't leave. My sister is a fool."
Ben was stunned for a while. Looking at the sensible boy, Ben picked up him and let him sit on his laps.
"Really?"
Alston frowned and pretended to think. After a while, he raised his head and looked at him with his
bright eyes. "Of course, I've only met him for a few times. It's not fair to call him father."
A bitter smile appeared on the corners of Ben's mouth. "You have to call him father sooner or later. You
will have your own home."
Alston frowned and shook his head. "I won't go back."
Ben interrupted him, "But you will." He sighed. After all, the child was a child, and after all, Alston and
Melissa were also the children of Brody.
The look on Alston's face became serious. He stared at the face of Ben and said firmly, "No, let's make
a bet." With a smile, Ben said, "Even if it's a bet, you will lose."
"I won't go back!"
Seeing that Alston was a little angry, Ben put on a helpless smile on his pale face and said, "Alston,
listen to me. Go to bed first!"
Alston got out of his arms reluctantly and jumped off the ground. At last, he took a look at Ben and was
about to leave, but it seemed that he suddenly remembered something. He looked at him and blurted
out, "What about the beautiful elder sister?"
Hearing that, Ben's face completely froze. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Alston didn't intend to ask
any more. He just looked at him in confusion and muttered, "Your adults' things are so complicated."
Ben smiled at Alston and said, "Go to bed!"
Alston nodded and said, "Good night, Dad!"
Ben nodded with a smile, "Good night!"
After the figure of Alston disappeared, the smile on his face froze, and what Alston had just said
echoed in his mind.
"What about the beautiful elder sisters? "
His heart ached. He smiled bitterly and thought, 'Wendy, you just disappeared completely!' But it didn't
matter. He'd better not think about it. Otherwise, he would be swayed again.
However, when he decided to completely cut off her memory, his heart was as painful. The more he
wanted to forget, the more he wanted to ignore, and his mind was full of that desperate and helpless
little face.
On the busy street, Wendy was walking in a trance. The pain from her belly made her frown again. She
slightly bent down and slowly walked to the sidewalk.
The pain became more and more severe, as if a knife was cutting her stomach. Two lines of tears fell
from the corner of Wendy's eyes. She didn't remember that she had a stomachache!
She was so painful that cold sweat came out of her forehead, and gradually she began to be unable to
move a single step. Wendy struggled to walk to the bench on the roadside. She sat down, and the pain
in her belly made her face tangled. She pressed her lower abdomen tightly.
Helplessness, despair and pain overwhelmed her. Just when she was about to pass out, a pair of big
hands reached out to her. From the corner of her eyes, Wendy glanced at the big hands. She was
stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with a pale face.
The man had a delicate face, handsome eyebrows, gentle eyes, and a smile like a spring breeze on his
face all the time. At this time, his face was as pale as Wendy's.
Wendy finally came to their senses. Sitting on the bench, she pressed her belly with her hands and
smiled with self-mockery, "Look We met again! I'm a little embarrassed... "
Wendy smiled bitterly with tears on her face. She knew him when she was sick and traveled to and fro
the hospital. For some reason, maybe it was fate! Every time they met in the corridor of the hospital,
they just looked at each other silently. They didn't talk much. As time went by, they naturally became
acquaintances. They had the same pale faces and the same melancholy eyes. But his eyes were
always full of hope. He tried his best to make himself energetic, but Wendy was different. She was
dead in the heart and gave up herself.
Slowly bending down, Gary Su held her in his arms and said, "You run around again!"
"It's not running around. There's not much time left. Enjoy the sunshine!"
"Does it still hurt?"
Wendy shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Do you think I'm stupid? When I first knew I had an incurable disease, I was still snickering. I was glad
that I didn't suffer from it at all. There was no pain in every part of my body, but..."
Wendy smiled sadly and looked at Gary Su helplessly with tears in her eyes. "But I'm still too naive.
Look, when the doctor announced that I was in the last stage, I couldn't escape either. Just like other
patients, I began to feel pain. Sometimes, it really hurts, but it will recover after a period of time. It's
getting more and more frequently recently. "
A tinge of pain flashed through Gary's eyes. He didn't answer, but didn't say anything. He and she were
both cancer patients. Their first acquaintance was in the hospital!
He lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. "Don't cry!"
Wendy threw herself into his arms and cried even harder, "why do you think I have this disease? But I
haven't done anything bad! "
"This is fate!"
His words made Wendy's heart ache even more. She raised her pitiful eyes to look at him, and his eyes
were complicated. "I'll take you home first!" Wendy nodded.
In fact, it was the first time for Wendy to visit Gary's house. It was an ordinary residential building of
medium size. It didn't have luxurious atmosphere, nor did it have the luxurious design as the interior of
the villa. The decoration was very simple, and it was the first time for her to feel a simple and quiet
peace here! Her restless heart and painful past were all gone.
