Hearing the laughter, Simon sneaked to the door with his little body quietly stretching out to look what was going on in the room.
All of a sudden, Kim turned around and looked at Simon coldly. The boy froze under his gaze, feeling more and more confused.
He wondered what was going on. Then, suddenly, he had a bad hunch.
"Simon, will you please tell Dad who the woman in front of you is?" Kim walked over and asked the boy in a very strict voice, squatting down to look at him directly on his eye level.
The innocent child, worried about what the consequences of his answer might be, just lowered his head and wondered if Kim had already figured out by himself that this woman in front of them was not his mother.
"Simon, you stupid little boy! How could you not even recognize if someone is your mother or not? The woman in front of you is your aunt, Rose!" Kim shook his head in disappointment and stood up slowly,
while Rose, who was standing behind him, widened her eyes in surprise.
He finally believed that she was who she said she was, after she had explained it to him for so many times.
In that case, Rose believed that this would be the key to her freedom.
"Now that you believe me, please set me free as soon as possible," said Rose happily, looking at Kim as she expected for his positive response.
'Set her free? Who is she kidding?'
His face was cold as he thought this to himself. He looked back at her slowly.
Under his cold gaze, Rose's body stiffened and she could not help but step back.
"Rose, what you have done to Anne at that time is really vile," he said in a cold tone. He was squinting at her face, realizing that she still had the same face as Anne. It appalled him that a woman as evil as her would bear Anne's same angelic face.
Rose stiffened as he heard what he said, but seeing that he turned around and went upstairs, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But still, she was worried.
Kim had believed who she was, finally, but wasn't he going to let her go?
And what did he mean by what he just said? He liked Anne, so Rose couldn't help wondering if he would do something to her to avenge Anne.
In an instant, Rose suddenly felt like she was falling into an ice cave. She felt her body weaken and she couldn't help it not to kneel on the ground.
No, she couldn't let it go on like this!
She was now like a bird in a cage. If a trapped bird had no one to feed it, it would starve to death.
But she was thinking quickly. She slowly turned around and saw Simon standing there, looking at her quietly. Suddenly, she had an idea.
He was staring at her with his deep eyes that were exactly the same as those of Eddy when he was little. He didn't look like a child at all.
He was her only hope. And as long as there was a glimmer of hope, no matter how little it was, she couldn't give up, could she?
