After George dried his hair and changed into his blue pajamas, he came out from the bathroom.

He took his glasses off and climbed up the spacious bed. He looked at his mother and asked, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"

George was a gift from the heavens. He was only six years old but he was independent. Not only did he take care of himself but he also took good care of his mother.

Jeanne stared at George's eyes without the glasses. His big googly eyes were glimmering in the dim environment.

"Mom?" Jeanne's stare made George uncomfortable.

Jeanne regained her composure and said, "Never take off your glasses in front of other people."

"You've said that like 10 times already."

"I'm just reminding you."

"Please believe in your son's photographic memory."

"Fine. You can sleep inside. I want to take a bath first," Jeanne said as she stood up from the bed.

"Sure."

Jeanne went into the bathroom with her pajamas.

The Lawrence family wanted to look generous, so they arranged a huge room for her that had a grand bathroom equipped with a full-length mirror.

She took off her clothes in front of the mirror and saw her fair body. There was an ugly scar at the lower part of her belly.

Due to abnormal positioning and presentation of the fetus, Jeanne had to give birth to George through cesarean delivery. She caressed her scar and grinned.

"It's okay. I'll take back what was owed, 10-fold!"

A quick bath later, she went to bed with her son.

When she woke up, the sky was already dark.

Jeanne opened her eyes and saw George playing with his tablet.

It might look like he was playing with it but only he himself knew what he was doing.
