Chapter 236


    Hayden turned up the brightness of the bedsidemp.


    The contents of the box were a CD and a piece of paper.


    La 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 nced 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 foreignnguage to him, because it was filled with a


    bunch of professional jargon.


    "What''s this, then?" La 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 hisptop.


    "Don''t we need to put this in aputer to see what''s


    inside, Hayden?" La asked, then something hit her. "We could borrow Uncle Mike''sptop!"


    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


    Hayden was worried that La wouldn''t be able to carry theptop 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 La 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 nced at the


    children, then shifted his gaze back to hisputer screen.


    Hayden and La stared at Mike''sputer screen.

    They were not interested in his game at all, but they had their eyes on hisputer.


    "Uncle Mike, could we borrow yourputer for a second?" La asked charmingly.


    Mike''s words shot out as speedily as his fingers tapped away at his keyboard.


    "What do you need myputer for? If your mother finds out I lent it to you, she''d kick me out right


    away. She gave me an earful when she talked to me today.


    She said I was a bad fluence on little Hayden Tate..."


    Hayden frowned, then snapped coldly, "Give me yourptop!"


    "You really aren''t worried at all about your mom kicking me out!" Mike said.


    "We just need it for ten minutes," Hayden said.


    "Are you sure?"


    Hayden nodded.


    Mike gestured at theptop next to him and said," There, take it yourself. Give it back in ten minutes!


    Otherwise, I''m telling your mom!" 1


    Mike was ying his game on a desktopputer.


    Hayden picked theptop into his arms, then left in a hurry.


    Once they were back in their room, Hayden opened up theptop.


    La stared at theptop screen as she held onto the CD.


    Hayden started up theptop, then took the CD from La and ced it in the CD drive.


    Before opening up the contents of the CD, Hayden said cautiously, "I''ll take a look first, La. What if


    it''s something scary?"


    La immediately covered her eyes with her hands and said, "Okay... Turn down the volume, Hayden.


    What if it sounds scary, too?"


    La was a timid little girl, especially at night.


    Hayden turned down the volume on theptop, then opened up the CD''s contents.


    A ck and white footage appeared in front of Hayden''s eyes.


    He was stunned when he nced at the date and time on the footage.


    If his calctions were right, the recording was about twenty years old.


    Moreover, the reason why he thought it was a ck and white footage was because everyone in the


    video was dressed in those colors.


    Hayden had a feeling that the footage was that of a funeral.


    On top of that, it was a funeral for someone in the Foster family.


    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 aplete 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." 1


    La pouted in disappointment, then said, "You''re not lying to me, are you?"


    "It''s a funeral. Do you want to watch it?"


    La shook her head without hesitation, then asked," Who died?"


    "No idea," Hayden said as he shut theptop, then added, "I''m giving theptop back."


    "Okay..."


    Once Hayden left with theptop, La ced the CD and piece of paper back into the box.
