While Austin was still busy watching TV, there was a knock on the door from outside.
He stood up and walked to the door to open it.
"Mom! You're home! Where have you been?" said Austin, who immediately grabbed Ms. Fox's hand.
"Oh, I was just at your school. I had some business to take care of," said Ms. Fox as she stroked Austin's right hand.
"Let's talk more inside." After patting Austin's head briefly, she pulled Austin's right hand and rushed inside.
On the sofa, they sat side by side, and Austin immediately flooded in with several questions that overwhelmed Ms. Fox.
"Mommy! Was I called out for being bad at school? I swear! I was never bad at school," Austin said while holding his chest, which looked convincing.
But Ms. Fox just chuckled. She knew her little baby had just lied. She just looked at his eyes, blurred and his breath a little heavy. She heard that because there was hardly any sound in the room.
But Ms. Fox just tapped Austin's forehead with her two fingers and then ruffled his hair.
"It's nothing, take it easy. I know you're a good boy."
Ms. Fox pulled her bag from the table and placed it in the middle of them.
"Look, what I got there!" Ms. Fox dug through her bag and pulled out a white piece of paper.
After she thrust out her hand, she was surprised that Austin's hand immediately grabbed it out of curiosity.
Austin's handsome face looked very focused, and his pupils moved from time to time.
2 minutes later. The hand holding the paper began to tremble, and he looked at Ms. Fox with enthusiasm and disbelief.
Austin's right hand slid to his mother's left hand and grasped it.
"Mom... is... is this letter true?" he said in a slightly trembling voice.
She had expected Austin's expression. From childhood, this boy always wanted to be better than others, always cheerful. This was really her favorite baby. Even from childhood, he always boasted about going to a prestigious school and becoming a champion.
Back then, when her husband was alive, she, Eleonora Teresidis (Fox), lived a very happy life..
Wrong... The three of them are living happily. The financial situation is not difficult. There is always enough. The amount of time spent together is even greater because the husband, Marlon Fox, works at a private company where his best friend is.
So he only worked for 4 hours a day. There was plenty of time.
But Marlon's death hit them hard. The money they had saved was used for Marlon's treatment, but he never recovered.
Marlon was desperate and told her and Austin, as he inserted many IV needles into his body, "Don't spend another penny. I have enough time to live. If you spend another penny, what about Austin later? Isn't it my dear Austin?" He then turned his eyes to Austin.
He then turned his gaze to Austin while patting his head warmly.
But Austin didn't care about anything. When he got home, he told his mother that he would insist on treating his father.
A very positive boy.
Even after Marlon's death, which devastated her, Austin could still laugh in front of many people and continue to cheer her up.
current time. ..
Eleonora, whose eyes were already glassy, looked at Austin with affection and hugged him.
"You're right, this letter is the one the principal gave me. Remember! This is your big chance, you know? So don't waste it, okay?" said Eleonora.
"Yes mom! I will definitely do my best," said Austin while hugging Eleonor tightly.
"Only time changes, Austin. You're still the little baby I know," Eleonor said as she stroked Austin's back.
