Amelia lay on her stomach and watched Alex scribble on the paper. “So, where did she go?”

Alex suddenly stood up. “Let’s go and find your eldest uncle!”

In William’s room, William stared at the surveillance cameras and checked them repeatedly. Then, he calculated a bunch of messy things on the paper. No one knew what he was calculating.

George pushed the door open and entered. He glanced at the table and said, “There’s no need to calculate it.” If Alex couldn’t find it, William definitely couldn’t either.

William put down the pen and remained silent. George sat down at the side and said, “Ask whatever you want.”

William immediately turned around and asked, “Dad, how did you conceive me and my brother with my mother back then? Were the lights on or off? Why couldn’t you see her face?”

George was silent.

Outside the door, Amelia, who had just followed them, was also puzzled. When she and Alex reached the door, they realized that the atmosphere was not right. It was not good to go in and disturb them. At this moment, Amelia heard the question of tthe lights being on or off. She felt that it was magical. It turned out that one could choose to turn on the lights or turn off the lights when conceiving a child. Then, was the baby who was conceived with the lights on better or with the lights off better? She looked at Alex with sparkling eyes. So in the past, did her parents turn off the lights or turn on the lights? She liked to turn on the lights because it made people feel happy and safe.

Alex seemed to see Amelia’s confusion. The corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to ignore her gaze, but he couldn’t. He lowered his voice and said in a breathy voice, “You were conceived with the lights off.”

Amelia curled her lips and leaned into Alex’s ear. She said in a similarly breathy voice, “Then the next time you give birth to me, can you let me choose to turn on or off the lights?”

Alex was speechless. Could there be a next time?

Fortunately, George, who was in the room, spoke at this moment. “Lights off.” His answer was very simple.

William was confused. “Both me and my brother were conceived with the lights off? Then, you had to turn on the lights before we were conceived, right? It couldn’t be that once the lights were off, another brother will be born?”

George had the same headache as Alex now. How could he explain this? Should he say that it was not a normal birth? Could he say that when Lucas was conceived, the other party took the initiative to turn off the lights seven or eight times? When William was conceived, he took the initiative to turn off the lights seven or eight times? At night, in the hotel room where the lights were turned off, the curtains were all drawn. There was no light in the room. When he came back to his senses, the other party was already gone, so he really did not know what the other party looked like.

George was silent for a moment before asking, “Do you really want to see your mother?”

William did not hide anything and nodded. “I want to ask her why she doesn’t want me and my brother anymore. Is it because my brother and I aren’t good enough?”

George’s cold face softened slightly as he sighed. “Then what can you do if you find her?”

William was speechless. That’s right. What could he do? Bring her back? She had been gone for ten years. Not only was she unfamiliar with the Walton residence, but the Walton residence was also unfamiliar with her. Grandpa and grandma might not be able to forgive her. If they couldn’t bring her back, would he just say goodbye when they met? Then why was he looking for her?

George stroked William’s head. “Sleep early.”

William said nothing.

Seeing that George and William were almost done chatting, Alex wanted to push the door open and enter, but Amelia stopped him. “Brother William isn’t happy,” Amelia said unhappily. “Let’s not disturb him. I have a way to find Eldest Aunt.”

Back in her room, Amelia took out Grandpa Turtle and held him while muttering. Then, she threw Grandpa Turtle out. Grandpa Turtle landed on the soft carpet and turned around twice before turning over forcefully.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on Grandpa Turtle’s turtle shell. Amelia was shocked and quickly held it up. “Grandpa Turtle, does it hurt?”

Grandpa Turtle slowly stuck his head out as if he didn’t feel anything. Amelia hugged him and touched the crack, frowning.

Elmer said, “If you can’t get anything, it looks like your aunt isn’t an ordinary person.”

Amelia pinched her fingers and did some calculations. Her not-too-sharp nails accidentally cut her fingertips, and a drop of blood appeared.

Elmer:

Alex immediately took Amelia’s hand. “Don’t calculate anymore.” He had learned feng shui for a period of time and knew that fortune-telling was a forced prying into fate and the future. There would be a certain backlash.

Amelia shook her head. “I’m too lousy.”
