In the afternoon, after school, Mili handed her new pad to Dot. "Copy the things in the cloud disk to the pad for me."
"What's wrong? Where is your pad?" Dot asked.
"I broke it accidentally. Daddy bought me a new one," Mili said.
"Did you throw it down the stairs?" Dot joked.
"It's true." Mili stuck out her tongue.
Dot helped her copy the files in the cloud disk into the pad one by one. At this time, Rabi came in. "Sister, brother, mommy let you go downstairs to eat durian."
"Okay." Mili nodded. "I'll go downstairs after I copy the file."
Glancing at Dot's computer, Rabi asked, "Are you copying the photos of great grandma Suzan?"
"There are photos and videos of great grandma Suzan and other things," Mili said.
"Why don't you copy it for grandma? She really wants to see great grandma Suzan's photo. I don't know if she copied it yesterday. You can copy another one for her, so that she doesn't need to borrow Mili's pad in the future," Rabi said seriously.
Mili was shocked. "Brother, what do you mean? Did grandma copy the photos on my pad?"
"Well..." Feeling that he had said something wrong, Rabi lowered his head and stopped talking.
Mili held his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother, please tell us. We'll keep it a secret for you. We won't tell grandma."
Rabi pursed her lips and said, "In fact, it was grandma who asked me to borrow the pad from you yesterday. She wanted to copy the photo of great grandma Suzan. She said that she accidentally fell it into the water last time. She was afraid that you wouldn't lend it to her again, so she asked me to borrow it."
"Really?" Mili blinked her eyes. "It's so weird. Why does grandma keep looking at the photos on my pad? Does she really miss great grandma Suzan so much?"
"I didn't see how sad grandma was after great grandma Suzan passed away. She kept thinking about framing mommy like this all day long." Dot pouted.
"So it is fake that she wants to see the photo of great grandma Suzan. But true that she wants to take revenge on me by destroying my pad?" Mili snorted. "Last time, she borrowed my pad and threw it into the water. This time, it was smashed."
Her words reminded Dot. A sharp light flashed through his black eyes. He turned to look at Rabi and said, "Brother, you can go downstairs to eat durian first. We will go downstairs later."
"Okay." Rabi nodded.
Dot closed the door and walked over to her. "Your pad was lent to great grandma Suzan, wasn't it?"
Mili nodded.
"The son of nurse Li stole your pad later," Dot rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, what did you find?" Mili asked with her eyes wide open.
"I can verify my deduction with a try." Dot's big eyes rolled two times and whispered in her ear. She nodded.
After the two went downstairs, they went to the hall. Everyone sat on the sofa and ate fruit.
When Rabi just finished eating the biggest durian meat, Essie was peeling mangosteen for him.
"She loves Rabi the most," Alena said with a smile, looking at her granddaughter in law.
"I didn't take good care of Rabi in the past three years. Now I have to make up for my son," said Essie with a smile. Now her biggest wish was to have a healthy Rabi. She didn't want him to suffer from somnambulism.
Dot winked at Mili and Mili said, "What a bad luck! All the things in my pad are gone, including the photo of great grandma Suzan..."
Hearing this, Mary was overjoyed and couldn't help smiling. "What a pity."
"Grandma, didn't you ask my brother to borrow my pad to copy great grandma Suzan's photos yesterday? Can I borrow your copy?" Mili said.
Mary's face darkened. It seemed that Rabi was not kid who could keep a secret. "I planned to copy it after Rabi fell asleep yesterday. I didn't expect that not long after he was asleep, he would..." She paused on purpose and sighed.
Dot glanced at her and turned to Zac and Essie. "Daddy, mommy, I found something special. Do you think the death of nursing Li's family has anything to do with Mili's pad?"
Hearing this, the corners of Mary's mouth twitched fiercely. This little bastard was suspecting the pad. He really had a rich imagination.
