Gregory’s favorite was his laptop. Ashton didn’t want him to wear glasses, so he was only allowed to play for an hour every day. Upon hearing he had an extra half an hour of screen time today, Gregory’s eyes lit up. He jumped down from his seat without even bothering to swallow his food and dashed to his father.
Seeing Gregory leaving, Audrey could no longer sit still. She struggled to leave John’s lap and wailed, “Greg! I wanna go to him!”
Afraid she would trip, Gregory slowed down and waited for her. They held hands and went upstairs together.
Ashton was ahead of them, stomping up the stairs arrogantly as though he was trying to taunt John.
Once they had left, the living room fell silent.
“Ha!” John spread his hands jealously. “Ashton’s still a sly fox though he had lost his memory. He knows to get the leader’s attention first.”
I burst out laughing. “You know how he climbed his way up to what he is today. You’re no match for him.”
“You’re right.” John nodded and lamented, “Perhaps he’s having the best time of his life after forgetting everything.”
Indeed, living a muddled life might be a good thing.
Still, we couldn’t pretend that nothing had ever happened.
I changed the topic. “I remember Nicolas injected a toxin into my body six years ago. Why did nothing happen even after six years?”
