“Uncle, did you do something wrong?” Nelson, who lies in Florence’s arms, first speaks. He can’t think of what wrong his uncle Baron could do. In his eyes, Baron has always been a good uncle. Baron looks at Nelson in amazement, and smiles: “Nelson, uncle is confused for a while, and did something wrong, so I beg your mother to forgive me.” After speaking, Baron looks up at Florence who is expressionless. He is saying to her. “Oh.” Nelson nods in doubt. “I’m just for saving people. Please don’t think more about it.” Florence doesn’t want to talk to him more because of her child’s presence, and she wants only to clarify the fact that she doesn’t forgive him for what he did.

Indeed, Florence can’t forget what Baron did to her: deceiving and utilizing her. Nodding slightly, Baron is not surprised at Florence’s attitude, but he has been already very grateful for her help. He raises his eyebrows, and a light flashes through his eyes. Then he looks at Florence and smiles: “Florence, could I trouble you to buy a lunch for me?” Hum……Florence frowns and looks him up and down. Seeing that he always smiles harmlessly, she hesitates and says, “Couldn’t you go out to eat after a while?” She is still wary of Baron, after all, she has been deceived by him for too long.

Florence’s euphemism is clearly caught by Baron, but he doesn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he continues: “I don’t know how long it will take for a chest X-ray in the hospital. I didn’t eat in the morning and now I’m a little hungry. Now that you have helped me, please help me one more time. Buy a meal for me, thank you!” “Mommy, will you buy some food for uncle?” Nelson shakes Florence’s arm. “…” Looking carefully at Baron’s expression, she could see he looks innocent. Anyway, since she has already sent him to the hospital, it’s nothing to buy a meal. Anyhow, when the result comes out, she will take Nelson away from this place where she has been miserably hurt.

“Well, you are waiting here.” After all, Florence is still soft-hearted and gets up and goes out. After eavesdropping at the door for a while, Florence doesn’t hear Baron induces Nelson. So she goes out of the hospital relieved and goes to the nearest restaurant to buy a meal. In the ward, Baron hears Florence has walked away, so he holds Nelson’s hand and says, ” Nelson, do you know when your mommy’s birthday is?” Nelson shakes his head, looking distressed. He ran around with her mommy from an early age. Later, many disturbances occurred. He could not remember how many birthdays he celebrated, and naturally, he could not remember his mother’s birthday. “Well, I tell you that your mother’s birthday is today. Remember it, and you must buy a birthday gift for your mother in the future. Do you know?” Baron teaches Nelson. “Well, Nelson has already remembered it.” Nelson nods his head hard.

With a satisfied smile, Baron touches Nelson’s head slightly. He takes a key from his pocket, and hands it to Nelson: “This is a gift given by uncle to mommy. When your mommy comes back, could you give it to your mommy, okay?” After receiving the key, Nelson plays with it for a while. Without thinking more about it, he says: “Okay!” Then, with a careful thinking about it, he realizes something is wrong, looking up at Baron with a doubtful expression: “Uncle, why don’t you hand it over to my mommy by yourself?” With a slightly embarrassed smile, Baron touches Nelson’s head and says: “I have something urgent to deal with, so I can’t stay there. Remember to send your uncle’s gift to your mommy. Do you know, Nelson?” Nelson nods hard, saying that he would do it.

After buying a meal, Florence hurriedly returns to the ward, but she is surprised to find that only Nelson is sitting there, and Baron has already gone! “Mommy is back!” Nelson hears the footsteps, looks up, and immediately jumps towards her. “He … where is your uncle?” Vigilantly, Florence turns around to check. “Uncle said that he had left beforehand, and this is for you, mommy.” Nelson quickly hands over the key given by Baron. With his words, Florence frowns immediately. What does he mean? Tricking her out to buy a meal, he sneaked away and left a key for her. What does he want to do? Anyway, it’s not a good thing … This is the first thought of Florence. She is so wary of Baron that she cannot believe he can be kind at all.

“Throw it away. Mommy doesn’t accept his stuff!” Florence tells Nelson. “No! Mommy, this is the birthday gift given by uncle. He said that today is Mommy’s birthday. How can it be thrown away? Isn’t it too rude, Mommy?” Nelson reminds Florence quickly, and he is confused. Birthday present? ! Indeed, today is her birthday. However, Florence doesn’t dare to accept Baron’s gift. This man is too scheming, who has deceived her for more than ten years, but she hasn’t realized it and still treats him as a good brother. But now, Florence must be very careful when talking to him. Naturally, it is impossible for her to accept his gift. However, Nelson trusts Baron very much, making her feel a little painful.

Having made up her mind, Florence puts down the lunch box and begins to teach Nelson: “Nelson, listen to your mommy that we can’t accept this uncle’s gift. Besides, try not to talk to him in the future. Do you hear it?” To her surprise, after Nelson has listened to what she said, he looks at her with a puzzled face, and then for a while his head shakes like a rattle: “No! Mommy, you said that it was for bad guys, but I think uncle is not a bad guy, and he will not do bad things, Nelson believes him, that uncle cannot be a bad guy.” Nelson’s defense with his child’s tone makes Florence even more distressed. “Would you rather trust him than your mommy?” Florence patiently lobbies her son. Otherwise, what if he keeps being so soft-hearted?

Nelson thinks carefully about it for a few minutes and then frowns, but he insists: “I believe my mommy, but uncle Baron is really not a bad person. He is very kind to me, and he will not do bad things. Mommy, you may have misunderstood him.” Florence is almost speechless, but then on second thoughts, she thinks probably because Baron used to take care of him, Nelson trusts him so much. Thinking about it, Florence calms down. To teach her child takes time, and she should not be too anxious for that.
