The knocking on the door stopped and then resumed.
Duncan neither responded nor did he open the door.
It was unclear how much time passed before the knocking resumed.
It was followed by the sweet voice of Sonny.
“Dunc, are you in the room? Are you asleep or awake? Can you open the door for me? I’m holding a tray, it’s very heavy, and my arms are sore from carrying it. Dunc, please come out and help me.
“Dunc, my mom is on a business trip, and she didn’t take me with her. She asked me to stay at home with Aunt Seren and Uncle Zak. I feel sad because my mom didn’t take me. I want to cry. Dunc, can you hold me and let me sit on your lap while I cry?”
After Sonny finished speaking, he really started crying loudly.
Serenity watched in astonishment.
When did this kid learn to act?
He was acting quite convincingly.
Duncan heard Sonny’s cries from inside his room. In less than two minutes, Sonny started wailing again. Thinking that Sonny was crying for real, Duncan immediately took action.
Initially lying in bed, Duncan sat up and attempted to move to his wheelchair. However, the wheelchair was not right next to his bed. It was lying toppled over nearby.
In his frustration before, he overturned the wheelchair.
It was now a couple of feet away from him.
For a normal person, this would be just a few steps, but for Duncan in his current condition, it was not feasible. He needed to take a few steps, rest, and then repeat the process.
This took a considerable amount of time.
He felt distressed for Sonny, not wanting to hear him cry.
