Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lauren knew that her mother had been bleeding heavily after giving birth to her, and her body had always been very weak. Therefore, she had come back to the Torres family this time to treat her mother.
However, before that, she had to first have the ability to actually heal her mother.
As she was rolling on the soft bed, the four-and-a-half-year-old Lauren began to regret not working harder like a little adult. “Little Nine, why didn’t you remind me to complete more missions back then? That way, my skills would be even more advanced!”
[ System Divine Nine: You’re clearly the one who likes to play and doesn’t want to complete missions! I won’t take the blame for this! ]
Lauren sighed for a while before she got up.
.
“Go finish the mission! Lauren, charge!”
Mr. Hayes was watering the flowers in the garden when his thigh was suddenly hugged.
“Grandpa Hayes, Lauren wants to take the car.”
“Miss Torres, what do you want to do?” Mr. Hayes suspected that he was old and had just misheard. Take a ride? What was there to take a ride for?
Lauren pouted and rolled her eyes.
“Just now, Lauren took Uncle Ben’s car home. It was very fun. Lauren wants Uncle Ben to drive Lauren again!”
After saying that, without waiting for Mr. Hayes’ reaction, she shook his legs back and forth and acted coquettishly. How could Mr. Hayes tolerate such a cute little princess acting coquettishly?
Hayes thought to himself, “It’s not a big deal to go for a drive anyway. I’m not playing with the Miss Torres here, so I’ll let Ben bring her out for a walk.”.
“Alright, you can go out, but you can’t run around. You must listen to Uncle Ben, understand? There are many bad people out there. Bad people are very scary!”
Lauren narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly as she promised Hayes.
Little did he know that when Lauren goes out, bad people should be afraid!
When Ben knew that he had to drive this young lady who was full of nonsense out, his heart broke down. It wasn’t easy for him to drive her back at full speed. Why did she still want to go out?
However, he had to agree even if he did not want to. Ben could only drive Lauren around the area.
“Uncle, you’ve been smoking a lot recently. Smoking is bad for your health. You should smoke less.”
Ben assumed that Lauren had seen the cigarette case he had placed in the car and did not suspect anything. He replied, “Got it, young lady.”
He had also heard about the incident about Hubert. Although he was not sure about Mr. Torres’s attitude, there was nothing wrong with treating Lauren with a little respect.
The car took a few detours and finally arrived at a deserted road. The time had finally come.
“Uncle, do you still remember the woman in the white dress that I told you about this morning?”
Ben was mentally prepared this time. He knew that he would definitely hear more of Lauren’s nonsense. Compared to the morning, his reaction was much calmer now.
“That woman is in our car right now. She’s right beside me talking to me all the time!”
Ben, who was in his fifties, was frightened by the little guy. He did not turn on the air conditioner, but he felt cold all over.
“This auntie even told me that she wants to talk to you. Uncle, do you want to talk to her?”
“Enough!” Ben roared and stepped on the brakes.
“Screech –“the huge friction between the tires and the ground caused the car to stop quickly, and due to the huge inertia caused by the brakes, Lauren’s entire body was about to fall off the seat.
Ben was about to cry out in shock when an even more shocking scene happened.
Not only did Lauren not fall off, but instead, it was as if she was being carried by someone. She was suspended in midair before she landed steadily on her original seat!
Ben looked at everything that happened in the backseat and wondered if he was dreaming the entire time.
“What... What’s going on?” Ben was extremely flustered as he rubbed his eyes.
Lauren had wanted to tease this uncle, but she did not expect him to be so timid.
“What... What’s on the bottom of the car?”
“Uncle, this Auntie said her surname is Lawson. She said that the water and electricity cards are placed in the first cabinet on the right side of your living room. Remember to pay up. Also, the bank passbook is placed behind your photo frame.”
This little devil decided not to beat around the bush anymore. Otherwise, Auntie Lawson would be unhappy!
When Ben heard Lauren’s words, he was stunned at first —
“What did you say? Who is it?”
“Uncle, this auntie said that she is your wife –”
“You saw her? Miss Torres, did you see my wife?” Ben was so excited that he could not even speak clearly.
His wife had fallen to her death half a year ago because she was drying her clothes on the rooftop. He had been extremely sad and missed her every day.
“I see her. Auntie Lawson is right next to me.”
