Chapter 113


    “You’re not my real mom Youre the reason my mom is dead You’re just a fake Cotton’s words made


    Farrah’s face turn as white as a sheet


    Farrah gripped her bag tightly, a fierce look in her eyes.


    Astrid observed Farrah’s reaction and gently tugged at Jon, “Jon, could you switch seats with him?


    Colton and I are friends. Id like to have a chat with him” Since Astrid asked, let’s switch You sit here. I’ll


    take your ce “Jon got up, and Cotton immediately bowed to him “Thanks!


    Colton sat down, his face lit up with a big grin


    Soon, the ne took off


    When the flight attendant saw Astrid coughing she asked, “Would you like me to get you some hot


    water?”


    That’d be great thank you Astrid nodded


    After a while, the fight attendant brought the hot water and smiled as she handed it over The water’s


    hot. Be careful not to scald yourself”


    As Astrid reached out to take the water, the ne jolted, causing the water to ssh out of the cup.


    In that split second Colten put his arm in front of Astrid, taking the scalding water on his arm.

    Dolton, are you okay?” Astrid hadn’t expected Colton to intervene, let alone be so quick.


    A person with developmental issues shouldn’t have been so alert!


    7’m fine, as long as you’re okay.” He continued to smile innocently. Astrid stared at him for a while but


    couldn’t detect anything abnormal.


    They were sitting close, and Astrid faintly detected the smell of medicine.


    “Cotten, drink this medicine Farrah handed him a cup, the medicinal smell intensifying as the cup was


    opened.


    Colton stared at the medicine for a while, hesitating before finally taking the cup.


    Astrid tried to stop him but realized he’d already downed the medicine. “I’m brave. I’m not afraid of


    bitterness.”


    Astrid didn’t respond, but her perception of Farrah began to change.


    She noticed one of the ingredients in the medicine Farrah gave Colton could cause central nervous


    system damage over time and negatively impact a child’s intelligence and memory. Colton was brilliant


    before five, but then his development stalled. It seemed clear that Farrah had been poisoning him.


    Farrah seemed nervous about Colton sitting next to her. She kept looking back, clearly hiding


    something.


    After a moment, Astrid asked, “Where are you guys headed this time?”


    Im going to try bungee jumping.” Colton was always excited whenever he talked about it. “I really love


    bungee jumping. Do you?”


    Though there were plenty of ces to bungee jump domestically, Farrah insisted on taking Colton


    abroad to experience it.


    Astridughed, “I like it too. Does Farrah often take you out to y alone?”


    “Not really, there’s usually a lot of people. Besides you guys, everyone in this first–ss cabin was


    brought by her. Pretty impressive, huh?” Astrid was taken aback by his meaningful words.
