The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1281
Dalton slowly stopped crying. But after crying for so long, his face had become red from it, and there were still tears and mucus on his face.
Margaret was too nervous to speak because she finally heard Madelyn’s voice after not being in contact with her for a very long time. She felt uneasy.
Madelyn sat on the bed with a blanket covering her legs. “Dal, it’s mommy. Do you still remember my voice?”
Dalton said unclearly in baby talk, ” Ma… Mama…”
Kai said to Margaret, “You can leave now. I’ll call for you later.”
Margaret responded, “Okay, I’ll be outside. Let me know if you need anything.”
After Margaret left, Kai wanted to take the phone. But Dalton held it tightly, unwilling to let it go.
Madelyn could feel that Dalton truly regarded her as his mother as she listened to his incomprehensible baby talk on the phone. He said many things, but she did not understand them.
Madelyn’s gentle voice was soothing as she said, “Dal, mommy is around you. You need to listen to Margaret, okay?”
Dalton responded, “Ah…”
Madelyn continued, “You need to eat well and sleep well.”
Dalton replied, “Ah…”
Kai thought, ‘This naughty kid doesn’t look like he’d just been crying his heart out. He looks so proud now.’
Halfway through the conversation between Madelyn and Dalton, the phone suddenly went silent. He held the phone with both hands and shook it. “Ma… Mama…”
Kai took the phone and pressed the power button. “Dalton, the phone is out of battery. I’ll charge it now. Don’t worry, your Dad will bring your Mom back. With you around, they won’t be separated.”
Dalton happily grinned with his newly grown baby teeth. He then turned over and fell asleep. Kai quickly supported Dalton’s head. He would be held responsible if Dalton knocked his head on something.
After settling Dalton, Kai got up and left the room. He realized it was getting late and decided to stay in the villa for the night.
At midnight, in the underground passage beneath the villa, two people stealthily leaked gas into the villa from underneath the house.
One of them said, “Is this enough?”
The other person replied, “No. Let’s add a little more gas. We need to make sure they all die without anyone noticing.”
“I never thought we’d be so lucky to find an underground passage here.”
“If we pull this off tonight, we’ll immediately become rich.”
Dalton climbed down the stairs. It seemed like he had smelled something unpleasant. He then looked in a direction and immediately got attracted by a toy crystal ball on the kitchen sink.
He struggled to climb onto the sink; he sat on it with part of his body outside the sink, accidentally turning on the faucet.
The water was warm, similar to the temperature Dalton usually bathed in.
When the water in the sink was completely filled, it overflowed into the kitchen and everywhere else.
