A few hours later.
"Well, be clean." Aldrich stared at the contents of his house that had been cleaned complete package by uncle Tandha. While from earlier he only looked from the top of the mattress where usually the mother slept first.
"Uncle is already a pro." Said uncle Tandha while smacking his chest arrogantly.
"I should have helped uncle earlier. Now I look like a brash kid."
"What did you say? Of course not. You're the master's son, it's subordinates like me who should do it." Uncle Tandha rubbed Aldrich's head for a moment, and spoke again. "You're different from the other kids. Where is there a kid your age who goes with a book?"
Aldrich just smiled as he scratched his nape.
"Oh yes, to accompany you learn to buy uncle snacks? Or maybe a drink? Ah I know! What about lunch?"
"Hmmm..." Aldrich rubbed his chin while pretending to think.
I need to find something at home. It would be best if Uncle Tandha left for a long time.
Shit, I didn't know there would be anyone in this house.
"I want lunch. Maybe good chicken noodles too."
"Bah... Far away chicken noodle shop."
Aldrich pretends to be sad. "really? Then don't be. The others just-"
"Eits! Its alright. Uncle seems to need a long way to let all sports for health."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, uncle."
Finally Tandha's uncle left, and Aldrich hurriedly closed the door of his house again. Not forgetting he locked it to prevent the previous thing from repeating itself.
"All right, now look for."
Actually, Aldrich already knew that the mother kept the keys to the closet drawer under the pillow. But when he was small, the courage to take it was a big zero. Plus after his mother died, he was too shocked to just pick up the mother's things. At first, he did not think that this house could hold any evidence.
Sure enough, the key was still under the pillow. Fortunately, Uncle Tandha was kind and had no intention of ransacking his house. But any man who sees his house like a chicken coop, will not do it. This house does not seem to have any valuable things.
When Aldrich puts the key in, his heart beats as fast as when he wants to open Matt's drawer first.
"Can't faint!" Aldrich hastily grabbed his bag and picked up the gum from inside. He chewed it quickly, making the sweet taste of the gum calm him down.
Aldrich began to hold the handle of the drawer, then pulled it quickly.
"Well?!"
The scene that Aldrich was looking at now was just an empty drawer with no contents.
"How is it possible? I'm sure you've seen it in a lot. But why is there nothing here?!" Aldrich grabbed his hair with both hands, then his eyes closed for a while.
"Silent... I need to calm down... Don't think from the point of view of the thief. Think from the point of view of the mother who wants to keep things neat."
Slowly Aldrich removed his hand from the head. Then he touched the bottom of the drawer.
"Hem... So it is."
There's a pencil-sized hole under the drawer.
Without a second thought, Aldrich took the pen. Then put it in the hole, and push the questioner up. Finally the board that he considered the base of the previous drawer rose, which turned out to be a cover, not a base. There's space there.
Aldrich put away the cover, and what he saw behind it was a pile of paper. He took the top paper. Which turned out to be a picture without a frame placed upside down.
Turning it around, Aldrich saw a picture of two people looking happy. One of them is the mother who looks younger than her last appearance she remembers. And the other one... A man who has a bright smile. The man was wearing a graduation shirt, one hand was holding a graduation certificate and one hand was holding his mother's shoulder.
There is a red handwriting under the photo.
Congratulations on your graduation, Jeff. I'll catch up with you in a minute. Don't call me sister huh, we're only a year's difference you idiot!
"D-dad?" Aldrich closed his mouth with trembling hands. "Hahaha right said mother, my father's smile looks stupid. Looks like she's a chatty, clumsy little Emma's sister."
The test!
Aldrich wiped his tears that suddenly came out. She doesn't know why she cries at a time like this. He never met his father. What to grieve? But... If remembering they were her parents who were gone, somehow it felt so sad.
After being satisfied to see the photo, Aldrich again turned to other items. The second item he picked up was several sheets of paper put together.
"What's this?"
List of poison neutralizing ingredients.
Aldrich opened the next sheet of paper, and a different recipe was written there.
The spread of toxins increases, new ingredients neutralize toxins.
"So... All this time I stopped the spread of the poison myself?" Out of curiosity, Aldrich immediately opened on the last page. The page looked different than before. There is a writing date that shows the time 2 years ago.
Final symptoms, coughing up blood. The poison has spread completely. My time is not long. But I still haven't calmed down leaving Aldrich alone.
"Mother..." Aldrich tried not to cry anymore. He put the papers down and moved on to something else.
This time it was a scrapped looking paper. Like it's been squeezed before.
Jeff, why don't you look for me? Don't you know I'm missing? Or someone arresting you? I hate them so much. I thought the good they gave was real, it turned out to be all a lie. Quickly find me Jeff. Isn't that easy for you? We have the same thoughts, so you can definitely estimate where I'm hiding from them.
Comeoverhere... Don't you want to see Aldrich? It turns out that the name you gave her was a perfect fit for her.
Don't let big lady Yelena Hamilton, and aunt Ria know where I am. They are the bad guys hiding behind the mask of good.
Aldrich's eyes were shocked. How can the name of Ria who is only a worker in the Hamilton Group be mentioned? He was not a member of the Hamilton family.
"Who is Yelena Hamilton? Grand madam? It's the same as the thugs said according to Mr. Hendro's story."
Aldrich suddenly realized something. "Wait first... I didn't know that my father died. Mom told me to find Dad because she didn't know. Estimated time close. Emma Hamilton's family cancelled the family's introductions 10 years ago. Mean... After mother left, not long father died, but mother did not know because it was kept secret from the public as well."
Aldrich is getting dizzy, he may have already reached his limit. Sometimes his head feels dizzy when he thinks too much.
Not wanting anything bad to happen to him, like fainting or whatever, Aldrich chose to move all the stuff in the drawer into his backpack. He would read everything when he got home.
You're... Yelena Hamilton and Aunt Ria huh? You will not escape me.
