He's just a child, and he wants his mother too.
"Mm... mm..." June struggled.
The tablecloth in the coffee shop wasn't exactly clean, it was always spread on the table every day, and the taste wasn't very good when stuffed into her mouth.
Kellen took the cloth out of her mouth and grabbed her right hand again. "I'm going to count to three."
"One, two..."
"I'll talk!" June quickly said.
It was too scary. She didn't want her hand to be twisted again...
"I… I am Hamza and Wade's mother. I just wanted to get close to Martin, really. I have no intentions towards you or Susie, and I never meant to harm Susie..."
"But at the Murray family, everyone likes Susie. Martin treats Susie better than his own son, so I wanted to get close to Susie..."
Kellen looked at her coldly. "How did you know my whereabouts?"
June opened her mouth and said, "You may not believe it when I say it, but... I can tell fortunes."
Seeing Kellen's doubtful eyes and the strength in his hand increasing, she quickly said, "Really, I really can tell fortunes!"
Kellen sneered at her. "Did you predict that you would lose both hands today?"
June was stunned.
Then there was a cracking sound!
Before she could scream, the tablecloth was stuffed back into her mouth.
Kellen stood up, shook his black coat, and said coldly, "Don't even think about targeting the Murray family, or the next thing I twist will be your neck."
With that, he turned and left.
He could tell that June was telling the truth about why she wanted to get close to Susie.
But she lied about how she knew about his whereabouts.
At the same time, he also realized that even if he twisted her neck today, she wouldn't dare to say what her backing was.
He might as well go back and ask Susie.
Kellen casually took a wet tissue from the coffee shop counter, wiped his hands, and threw it into the trash bin behind him without looking back.
The receptionist's mouth was agape...
Upstairs.
June's hands hung down, the pain making her face pale.
She still had the tablecloth in her mouth, and her whole body was shaking.
June struggled to take off the tablecloth, then looked at her hands... they were dislocated, and she could push them back, but it would definitely hurt like hell.
"I curse you..." Her lips turned white, and she cursed viciously, "May you never have peace!"
Then she looked to the side and called out to the spirits a few times, but there was no response.
She hurried back, swearing to put a spell on Kellen. Today's matter couldn't be left like this. She fell in love with Martin at first sight and wouldn't give up.
Kellen returned home and pushed open Susie's door, hearing her and Wade talking in low voices.
"Brother, is that doctor lady really our aunt?" Susie asked.
Wade shook his head. "I don't know either!"
If it really was their aunt, the difference between her and the mother he imagined was too great.
Wade's eyes dimmed slightly. Actually, he still wanted a mother. It wasn't that the Murray family was bad, or that his father was bad.
Which child didn't long for a mother? He was only seven years old and had never had a mother before.
He didn't even know why his mother had left him and his brother at the Murray family's doorstep. Couldn't she have come in and explained why?
Wade couldn't understand it.
Kellen said, "We can find out by doing a DNA test."
He took a plastic bag out of his pocket that contained a few strands of hair. "Take this and get a paternity test done."
Wade was puzzled and opened the plastic bag. There was even something written on the bag, something about a coffee shop. But there were indeed a few strands of hair inside.
Whose hair is this?" he asked.
"Your mother's" Kellen said.
Wade remained silent.
Why are you still insulting people?
Wade was taken aback. Why was he cursing at people again? He said awkwardly, "Uncle, you're not civilized. Uncle, you're cursing. I'll tell my grandma."
Miles Devine remained silent.
Miles Devine rolled his eyes. How old was he that he still had to tell on people to his parents?
He glared at Wade and said coldly, "I said it's June's hair. I broke her wrist and pulled it out while she was in pain."
June probably didn't realize that she had lost two hairs.
Wade widened his eyes, "Wow, uncle is too amazing! You got this?"
Kellen replied, "Hmm."
He was someone who could get anything he wanted.
Wade suddenly looked at him strangely, "Wait, uncle, do you know her? Why did she give you her hair?"
Kellen remained silent.
Susie rushed over and praised without hesitation, "Daddy is the best!"
Kellen picked up Susie, his precious daughter.
"Susie, besides ghosts, what else in this world can help people get things done?" he asked, telling her about his encounter with June - of course, he omitted the part about twisting her wrist.
Susie thought for a moment and looked over to one side, "Master, besides ghosts, what else in this world can help people get things done?"
Mitch thought to himself, "I heard you, obedient apprentice. There's no need to repeat it and make it seem like we're trying to fill up space."
He replied, "There are, such as fortune-tellers, ascetics, and shamans. These don't necessarily count as ghosts, but some may be spirits. It's hard to say."
Mitch believed that June must have something with her.
She had mentioned being able to tell fortunes...
Susie's brain quickly processed everything her Master had taught her in the past and summarized it. Then she asked, "Is it raising little ghosts?"
That was the only thing she could think of.
Kellen replied, "Probably not."
If it was raising little ghosts, he should have been able to sense the cold aura. But he didn't feel anything.
Mitch also denied it, "No, if it was raising little ghosts, I would have noticed when we saw June in the morning."
