Two Times the Charm

Chapter 221

“I already talked to Dad, but you saw it, Grandma just doesn’t listen to him. Aiden held the blade in his hand, then turned to Alex, “Don’t cry. Let’s do our homework first. I’m not doing anything today.”

“Really?”

“For real! Look, I’ve already tossed the blade.” Aiden waved his other hand, “Oh gosh, my stomach hurts, I gotta hit the john! You keep studying, or the teacher will chew you out tomorrow.”

Alex saw that the blade was indeed gone, and finally nodded in relief.

Aiden frowned and walked out of the bedroom. He was still a kid, and staring at the blade and his own arm, he hesitated and didn’t dare to make a move. Thinking of the way grandma scolded his mom before, he gritted his teeth and did it…

Clara changed into a casual outfit, not even carrying a bag. If they were going to an amusement park, she could hold the kid, and carrying too much stuff would be a hassle.

Soon, Emmett also changed his clothes.

But as soon as they came downstairs, they saw Alex crying and running out of the bedroom, “Dad, Mom! Something bad happened, Aiden got hurt!”

At the sound of it, Clara’s legs went weak. She rushed to Aiden’s bedroom, and sure enough… she saw blood at the door! At that moment, Clara felt like she was going crazy, she rushed in and held Aiden, “What happened? Where are you hurt? Tell Mommy!”

Aiden looked very weak, glanced at his mother, “Mommy… it hurts…”

“Good boy, hang in there. I’ll take you to the hospital right now!”

She was about to run out with the child when Emmett opened the door, “Get in the car, I’ll drive

you there!”

As they reached the entrance, Sophia also ran out hurriedly, “What happened’ What’s going on!”

“It’s Aiden, he got hurt!” Alex pointed at Aiden in Clara’s arms, “Grandma, look how worried Mommy is!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Did she hurt Aiden?”

“No, no!” Alex shook his head quickly. “Aiden did it himself… I mean he accidentally got hurt.”

At this moment Clara didn’t have time for anything else. Aiden was losing a lot of blood, it looked serious.

Emmett ran red lights all the way to the hospital, and Aiden was immediately taken to the emergency room. Outside, Clara’s hands and clothes were all covered in blood, she felt like she hadn’t come to her senses yet. Just now, she really wished she could go in with Aiden.

Sophia also looked worried, and she pulled Alex over to interrogate, “What exactly happened? You… didn’t you say you were going out to play with Mom and Dad? Could it be that Mom and Dad caused Aiden’s injury?”

“I really don’t know!” Alex was a little flustered. He was just doing his homework, when he turned his head, Aiden was covered in blood, and he was also a bit panicked, “I, I don’t understand what’s wrong with Aiden… He said he was going to the bathroom, and told me to concentrate on my homework, then when he came back he was like this! At that time, Mom and Dad hadn’t even come over yet.”

Sophia glanced at Clara, who stood frozen at the door of the emergency room. At this moment, Sophia was touched. If the biological mother of those two children couldn’t be found, or didn’t want to reconcile with her son, having a stepmother like Clara might not be such a bad thing.
