“Is it? Don’t lie to me. Do you remember the last time when you tricked the teacher into ruining the computer so that the students could take a day off? Did you really do nothing bad this time?”
“Eh…” These teachers are pestering me! Ugh! How could Mommy think badly of me? Am I really a troublemaker in her eyes?
“Last time, I only taught them to play a little game on the computer.” Then, he changed the topic. “Mommy, I’m hungry. Can we go home now?”
In the end, Sasha had no choice but to let him off. She bade the teachers goodbye and brought the little ones home.
After they arrived home, Sasha busied herself in the kitchen to prepare dinner.
However, before she was done, the hospital called.
“Dr. Nancy, the committee has agreed to let you take over the patient. Is it convenient for you to come back now?”
“Now?”
The nurse replied helplessly over the phone, “Yes. The patient’s family member is here as well. She wishes to speak to you after she learned of the committee’s decision.”
This type of patient and their family members were a headache. Perhaps it was a common trait of the rich to boss around as though they owned the world.
In the end, Sasha agreed to head back to the hospital.
“Matt, I need to go to the hospital now. Can you stay at home with Vivi and have dinner with her?”
“Of course. Mommy, don’t worry. I will take good care of Vivian.”
Matteo behaved like a mature young man as he waved at his mom, reassuring her about them.
Sasha left the house, knowing that she could leave Vivian in his hands.
Unbeknownst to her, the two little ones sneaked into her study as soon as she left.
“Matt, what are you doing? Mommy asked us to have our dinner!”
“Shush! Today, the principal showed me a photo of a boy who is transferring to our preschool. You know what, the boy and I look alike. I want to find out about him!”
Matteo climbed behind his mom’s computer desk. Within minutes, he managed to hack into the principal’s computer and retrieved the new student’s information.
“Wow! Matt, is that you?”
Vivian gasped in shock the moment she saw the photo and information on their computer screen.
Feeling confused, Matteo furrowed his brows while pointing at the screen. “No. See, his name is Ian Hayes.”
Vivian’s eyes grew wider.
“Ian Hayes? It’s not you! But why does he look like you? Did Mommy give birth to him too?”
Matteo suddenly recalled that there were times when their mother would take an unworn onesie out of a small wooden chest, crying when she thought no one was around. At that instant, Matteo decided to check to check Ian out himself.
He jotted down the address for Hilton Hotel from the address column of Ian’s information.
