“Of course I have a good memory. How you give the money to me?” Alex smiles while typing.
“Uncle, you love money as your life. You are same with my mother.” It seems that Ben isn’t hurry to give Alex money. He wants to talk with Alex for a while.
Alex looks at the words in front of him and feels speechless. The kid said that he loves money as much as his mother, and the parent trap? Does he have it? He just wants to know how the kid will pay his money back.
“Boy, can't you afford it?” Alex used the agitation method. This kid is very interested.
“Uncle, it’s useless for you to use the agitation rule. I just want to know why you look like me?" Ben is very puzzled about this. Not only Alex looks like him, but also the Andre.
Alex is stunned, and he finds that the kid's thinking reaction is quick, and he is becoming more and more curious about Miya's husband.
“This is going to ask your mother. I don't know. What does your father do?” Alex asks again.
But the only response is silence. Just when he think the stinky boy is asleep and going to go offline, Ben sent another message.
“I don't have the father.” Simple and clear words, but let Alex's heart suddenly shocks, this child just silence must be sad. He could not help thinking of Miya, she is stubbornness and desires to protect her body. Is it not for her children's father? Why doesn't she tell the children who their father is?
“Uncle, I'll give you my stock. Now it's worth a million dollars to change hands!” During the conversation, he sent Alex a series of things about his stock.
Alex's face suddenly changed. He is young but he would speculate in stocks. Alex suddenly has a hunch that the child must be a business wizard. He looks at the things on the screen and more curious about whom the Ben’s father is and who could make Miya has such a talented son.
When Alex wants to ask a questions again, he find that Ben's image has turned grey. He stared at Ben's image for a long time.
……
In the morning, Miya opens her eyes and is shocked. Damn! It’s 7:40 and she will late for work.
Miya dresses quickly, take up her bag and rushes out, while Joey and Ben are just getting up.
“Mummy, don't you take us to school?” While talking, Joey wants to turn to Miya and hug her.
“Mommy must go first. Let your Aunt Lisa give you a ride.” Then Miya rushes out.
Ben and Joey look at each other before they look at the clock on the wall.
“Well, I forget that I played with the clock yesterday, as if it had been switched up for an hour.” Joey suddenly says, thinking that Miya had just burst out as if she eyebrow is burning, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Ben glares at Joey. The little girl does things without remember the consequences. It's exactly the same as Mommy.
Miya doesn't take the bus after she ran out. She leaps a taxi directly to the company. It can't be too late. Alex is targeting her now. She doesn’t know how much bonus will be deducted if she is late.
After Miya arrives at the company in a hurry, she is surprised to find that there is no one in the company except the guard. She couldn't help but wonder whether she doesn't go to work today. But why no one tell her?
Just then, her cell phone rings.
“Are you David's family, please?” A cold, no-temperature message come from the phone.
“Yes!” Miya says softly, what's the matter in this morning? Dad is looking for her?
“Your father has acute appendicitis and must operate immediately. But he is in the prison; no one can visit, so you have to pay 28000 dollars medical fees in advance.” Still cold without a trace of expression.
Miya's heart sank. Dad is ill. 28000 dollars? She has only one 14071 dollars in her hand. Where is she going to get the other 14071 dollars?
“Well, I'll collect the money and send it to you later.” Miya's slender hand holds the phone tightly, and she couldn't help shivering. How could this happen? He was fine when she went to see her father yesterday.
After hanging up the phone, Miya doesn't know what to do for a while. Lisa had helped her enough. She doesn't want to borrow Lisa's money any more. How could Dad stay in prison when he is ill? She wants to rescue her father.
But at this moment, Miya's mind suddenly flashed over a person-Alex. She thinks the conditions which Alex had given her. She could not help laughing bitterly. If she wants to save her father, would she have to do so?
