Daenerys left after dinner, and Winnie wondered how she could find the man who had been injured in the accident and pay him so she could put the whole thing behind her.
"Mommy, make a call to Uncle, I want to know how Luke is."
Megan had been worried Luke.
"Ok, I will call now."
Winnie quickly picked up the phone and called Brian.
"What is it?”
Brian’s unchanged cold voice made Winnie felt cool.
"Is Luke there?"
Winnie did not want to have too much communication with Brian. She was always afraid that he would think too much.
"In his room, he's got a phone..."
Brian told Winnie the phone number of Luke's room and then hung up the phone.
Winnie made a call to Luke based on the phone number and the phone was immediately picked up.
"Hello."
Luke's voice was obviously upset.
"Luke, I am Auntie Winwin . I heard from Megan that you are sick."
As Winnie said, she heard the voice of Luke crying.
"Luke, why are you crying? What is wrong?"
Winnie asked eagerly.
"Auntie, I miss you, I miss Megan. May I come to your house now?"
Luke sobbed in a low voice, and he was suppressing his emotions.
"Luke, where are you now? Are you at greatgrandpa's house or at Daddy's house?"
Winnie was worried. She did not know why the kid cried and was depressed. Was he wronged or ill.
"Auntie, I'm at Daddy's house. You talk to Daddy and I'll come to your house."
Luke begged again. His cry and grievances through the phone reached to Winnie's ears.
"Luke, don't cry, I will call dadd now."
Winnie hung up the phone and called Brian again.
"What is it?”
It was still freezing cold.
"You..."
Winnie, with resentment, really wanted to scold this man and make him sober.
He had status and achievements, he could be cold and have authority to his employees, but couldn’t he be warm to his son and let him feel his father's love?
Winnie endured it and said nothing, afraid that she could not make Luke out.
"Can you let Luke come to my house for a night? Megan misses Luke."
"Now?"
Brian looked at the time. It was already 9 p.m.
"Yes, now. I'll pick him up if it's not convenient for you."
Winnie had a tone of discussion.
"No, it's too late."
Brian refused directly. It was later and he worried about Luke safety.
"Uncle, let Luke come to my house. I miss him."
Megan heard Brian's refusal, took her mother's phone and begged.
"Megan..."
"Uncle, give us your address, Mommy and I will drive to pick up Luke."
Megan did not give Brian the opportunity to refuse but directly interrupted Brian's words.
"Uncle, please. We can go to school together tomorrow morning."
Megan begged, and that sweet voice let Brian can not refuse.
Forty minutes later, Luke was sent to Winnie's house by the housekeeper.
"Auntie......"
Luke walked into the house and directly pounced into the arms of Winnie, crying, which made Winnie feel distressed.
"Luke, don’t cry, tell me what is wrong."
Winnie squat down and picked up Luke, allowing him to cry on her shoulder.
"Auntie, I didn’t go to school not because I was sick. It was because Mommy beat me."
Luke felt warm in Winnie's arms, cryed sadly, and told the reason for not going to school.
“What?”
Winnie was angry.
She put Luke down and seriously asked the cause of the matter.
“What's the matter?”
"Mommy beat me and was afraid the kindergarten teacher will see bruise on me, so she didn’t allow me to go to school."
