236 Chapter
Hayden turned up the brightness of the bedside lamp.
The contents of the box were a CD and a piece of paper.
Layla opened up the piece of paper and stared at the words on it.
After inspecting it a few times, she cluelessly handed it over to Hayden and said, “What does it say, Hayden? I don‘t know how to read this.”
Hayden glanced at the piece of paper, then said indifferently, “I can’t read it either.”
After all, he was also just a preschool kid.
The words on the piece of paper looked like a foreign language to him, because it was filled with a bunch of professional jargon.
“What‘s this, then?” Layla asked as she picked up the CD and inspected it.
There were no pictures nor words on it.
Hayden also felt curious about the CD.
However, there was no way for him to check its contents without his laptop.
“Don‘t we need to put this in a computer to see what‘s inside, Hayden?” Layla asked, then something hit her. “We could borrow Uncle Mike‘s laptop!”
Hayden saw the spark in his sister‘s eyes as if she was eager for action.
“I‘ll go borrow it! Otherwise, Mommy would be mad at you again if she found out you were using a computer!” Layla said, then ran out of the room.
Hayden was worried that Layla wouldn‘t be able to carry the laptop herself, so he ran after her.
Mike did not go out to the bar that night.
With the bruises on his face, he would end up scaring everyone if he showed up at the bar.
When Hayden and Layla entered his room, Mike was in the middle of a video game.
“What are you two doing here? It‘s past nine. Why aren‘t you in bed?” Mike said as he glanced at the children, then shifted his gaze back to his computer screen.
Hayden and Layla stared at Mike’s computer screen.
They were not interested in his game at all, but they had their eyes on his computer.
“Uncle Mike, could we borrow your computer for a second?” Layla asked charmingly.
Hayden did not have time to watch the entire recording, so he used the mouse to drag the progress bar and scan through the video.
It was a complete video recording of a funeral.
Hayden turned off the video, then tapped his sister‘s shoulder and said, “It‘s really scary. You shouldn‘t see it.”
Layla pouted in disappointment, then said, “You‘re not lying to me, are you?”
“It‘s a funeral. Do you want to watch it?”
Layla shook her head without hesitation, then asked, “Who died?”
“No idea,” Hayden said as he shut the laptop, then added, “I‘m giving the laptop back”
“Okay…” Once Hayden left with the laptop, Layla placed the CD and piece of paper back into the box.
