Chapter 1060: So That’s What Had Happened

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Surprised, she looked at Brenda, who shook her head at her and then continued to comfort the middle-aged lady. She said, “Mom, why don’t you go outside first? I’ll wake him up. Don’t worry, everything is okay…”

“What do you mean everything is okay?! Something must have happened! I’m not blind! Tell me, what exactly is going on with Marcus?!”

The lady gripped Brenda’s hands tightly, her emotions gradually changing. She demanded, “Tell me, did you guys have an argument? Or is it because you’re unwilling to have children with my son? Is that why he became like this? Brenda, how can you reject having children with him? You’re too much!”

After speaking, she immediately started hitting and kicking Brenda!

Brenda held her tightly, not at all bothered even when the lady hit her a few times. It was Nora who couldn’t stand to watch her actions any longer that knocked the lady out with a karate chop to the neck. Only then did the commotion stop.

The huge skirmish had already made Brenda all out of breath, and even her clothes and hair were in a total mess. She sighed and said, “I’ll go take another bath.”

Nora nodded.

After giving the lady some medicine to calm her down, she left the room.

The trio waited for Brenda downstairs.

After the incident just now, Solo had understood something. “So, she had taken a bath earlier because of this? It wasn’t because she was married!”

He paced back and forth as he said, “What on earth is going on, though? Why does she think that Marcus is alive? And who is that man who was talking in the room?”

While the trio was thinking, Brenda came down the stairs.

She toweled her damp hair and collapsed onto the sofa. She was so exhausted that she was close to collapsing.

The others didn’t urge her to hurry.

After Brenda caught her breath, she finally sighed and said, “That’s an AI system.”

“What?”

Solo was taken aback.

Brenda tossed a pair of spectacles to him and gestured for him to put them on. The moment Solo did, a figure appeared in front of him, giving Solo such a huge shock that he couldn’t help but take a step back.

In his vision, Marcus moved somewhat stiffly and unnaturally.

The figure said, “Hi, friend!”

It was Marcus’ voice.

Brenda rubbed her temples. “Marcus’ mom has been denying the fact that Marcus is already dead. I don’t know who tricked her, but they inserted a chip into her eyes that allowed her to see and even talk to Marcus. Her mental health is terrible, and we are not allowed to say that Marcus has already passed away… The chip isn’t very stable, though, and ‘Marcus’ would sometimes freeze and stop moving. When that happens, she panics and calls me. I was here just now to calm her down and reboot the system.”

Solo asked, “Then she was referring to you as her daughter-in-law because…?”

Brenda sighed and answered, “In her eyes, Marcus and I are married. That’s why she keeps calling me her daughter-in-law… She has also been dying for a grandchild.”

Brenda lowered her head.

However, Solo understood what was going on. He stepped forward and held Brenda’s hands. “So, this is why you’ve been rejecting me?”

Brenda nodded.

Solo, however, was close to tears. He said, “But I don’t mind at all! I can support her and keep her company with you! I can even treat her like she’s my mom!”

Brenda gave him a wry smile and said, “And then? What kind of identity are you going to use to stay by her side?”

Her question stumped Solo.

Brenda lowered her head and said, “I’ve never considered marriage at all in the past anyway, so let’s just keep things this way. I’m pretty okay with how things stand now.”

She then pointed at the door and added, “You can leave now. Don’t ever look for me again.”
