Chapter 514 Single–Parent Family
It was precisely because of this glance that Byron suddenly remembered Johnson’s reminder to wait until the guests left before coming out so as not to frighten them.
He calmed down instantly, pulling his hand away from the door handle while fixing his gaze on the little boy again.
Seeing the face that all
again, lost in thought.
resembled his, Byron frowned
Before, Cora had asked him for Johnson’s contact way,
claiming that her relative was ill.
So, this child was who she mentioned then.
Damn it. He had no idea his own child was ill and even
deliberately made things difficult for them!
No wonder Cora’s eyes that day looked so sad and helpless.
The more he thought about it, the more Byron wished he
could build a time machine to go back and teach himself a
lesson…
On the other side, Cora’s attention was still on the large mirror
Chapter 514 Single–Parent Family after she greeted Johnson.
She couldn’t help but find this mirror strange.
Martin was also curious about it.
He broke free from Cora’s hand and ran to the mirror.

Unlike other kids who made funny faces or posed in front of
a mirror, he walked up to it, touched the surface, and lightly
tapped it.
Sensing that the tap sounded strange, the little guy furrowed his eyebrows.
Unbeknownst to him, a magnified version of himself was squatting right in front of him behind the mirror.
As Martin frowned, although Byron’s eyes slightly reddened,
he couldn’t help but smile.
This was indeed his child, so clever that he discerned the
problem so quickly.
But soon, the smile froze on Byron’s face.
He saw the little guy clench his little fist as if about to smash
the mirror.

Obviously, as he realized something was wrong, he wanted to
see what was behind the mirror.
But if the mirror shattered, it would definitely hurt him.
As Byron fretted, Cora said, “Martin, did you forget your
promise to me? Come here. Dr. Watts will check on you.”
Her voice was particularly gentle and sweet, giving people a warm feeling.
This tone was exactly the same as the one he had overheard
her use when she was in a video calling with Jerry in the hotel
corridor.
It turned out that Cora was talking to Martin at that time.
When she went to the hotel, it was also for Martin…
Byron’s thoughts became clearer as he kept thinking, and he
realized how utterly wrong he had been.
Meanwhile, Martin returned to Cora’s side, and Cora began
to discuss his symptoms with Johnson.
“Dr. Watts, this is my son, Martin. He’s three years old, and
there doesn’t seem to be any problem with his physical development, but he still can’t speak.”

Cora continued, “I took him to many doctors, and the results were identical. There’s nothing wrong with his ears, mouth, or
vocal cords.”
Holding a flashlight, Johnson asked Martin to cooperate with
the examination.
Perhaps because Martin had been through many
examinations before, he was not afraid and obediently stayed
in Cora’s embrace for Johnson’s examination.
Soon, the examination was over.
“There’s nothing wrong with his facial features. Now, let’s
conduct a test.”
Johnson took out a sketchbook and asked Martin to draw on
- it.
Then, he turned to Cora and said, “I need to ask you some
questions. Please answer honestly, as it’s crucial for accurate testing and subsequent treatment for the child.”
Cora nodded.
Then Johnson asked, “Is Martin growing up in a single–parent family?”
