Chapter 209 Kendra Walsh
“I don’t know.” Timothy continued crying in Kendra’s arms.
“You should go to your mother. No mother would be cruel enough to abandon a child.”
“But…” Timothy thought of Emmeline and shook his head. “Mommy will send me to Daddy again, andeverything will be the same.”
“Then, what do you do? It’s getting late now.”
“I don’t know.”
Kendra suggested, “Maybe you can go home with me first. After you think about it, I’ll help you make acall. You can choose to find your father or mother, okay?”
Timothy thought for a while, then nodded. “Okay.”
I don’t know where to go anyway. Just listen to this auntie first.
“Okay, come with me.” Kendra crossed the zebra crossing with Timothy and her baby.
After turning several corners, Timothy followed Kendra to a tree-lined road.
“Auntie, aren’t we arrived yet?” Timothy could barely move.
He followed Kendra while clutching the baby carriage and had already walked a lot. He was full ofsweat, and he was gasping.
“I’m so sorry.” Kendra stroked Timothy’s head. “I don’t have much money, so I can’t take a taxi. We canonly walk a few steps.”
“Okay then.” Timothy nodded sensibly. “I’m not tired. I can help you push the baby.”
“Thank you.” Kendra wiped the sweat off Timothy’s face and smiled. “You’re a good boy.”
Suddenly, the baby began to cry. Kendra had no choice but stopped the baby carriage at the roadside.Then, she bent down and picked up the baby.
Timothy raised his head and asked with concern, “Auntie, why is the baby crying?”novelbin
“She’s hungry.” Kendra’s throat choked. “We have to go home quickly. I’ll make cereal for her.”
“Why don’t you give her milk?” Timothy wondered. “Cereal doesn’t taste well.”
Kendra smiled bitterly at Timothy but said nothing.
After walking for a long time, they finally entered an ordinary community. Kendra opened the door andpushed the baby carriage in. Timothy followed her and closed the door behind them.
“Kendra, have you bought the supplement I want?” A middle-aged woman’s voice came from thebedroom.
“I bought it.” Kendra was a little unhappy. “But I haven’t bought the baby’s milk powder. I don’t haveenough money.”
“Hmph!” Kendra’s mother-in-law, Ella Bradley, rushed from the bedroom.
“My son gives you so much money every month! What do you use it for? I only want somesupplements. How come you can’t buy milk powder? You just dislike me for spending money! I canspend it on whatever I like! That’s my son’s money, not yours! It’s useless for you to complain!”
Kendra lowered her head, and tears of grievance filled her eyes. Just as Ella wanted to continuenagging, she suddenly saw Timothy behind Kendra.
“Whose child is this?” Ella raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is he your relative? I warn you! We don’thave extra meals and can’t afford to support idlers!”
“He’s not my relative.” Kendra hugged her daughter in one hand and pulled Timothy with the other. “Ipicked him up on the roadside. He couldn’t find his family, so I brought him back.”
“You picked him up?” Ella was surprised. “Nobody wants such a cute child?”
Kendra answered, “How could nobody want him? I’ll ask for his family’s phone number later and sendhim back. His family must be worried about him.”
Ella looked at the cute Timothy, then pondered. She squatted down and asked, “Little boy, tell me, howold are you? What’s your name?”
When Timothy looked at Ella, he felt she was not good. He pouted and did not speak.
“Is he stupid?” Ella frowned. “I asked him questions. Why didn’t he understand?”
Kendra responded, “He’s not stupid. He talked to me on the road just now. He’s good.”
“Then, why is he ignoring me?” Ella became gloomy.
