FLASHBACK

Daphne has left to get something for Thomas. She didn't trust the maid or anyone in the mansion to get the right thing for Thomas.

She has decided to make food for him and everything else personally. She has took a leave from the hospital she worked and owned, since Thomas injury.

This time, Daphne have Terrence look at their injured son.

” Father, can you get me something to read?” Thomas asked his father after his mother left them in the room alone.

” What? You don't want to read those comics you bought last anymore. Or did you need some new comics?” Terrence asked. He doesn't like his son wasting his time on these meaningless things. He almost wanted to burn these industry to the ground but for his son he bȧrėd them.

” Comics? ” He said puzzled. He was curious about the comics he talked about but thinking about the dangerous future, he put down his curiousity. He continued, ” I don't wish to read comics. I want books on physics, chemistry and other books about science.

I also wish to go through those books about the computer science, hardware and software. ” He told his father.

Terrence was confused why his son should ask for them. A part of him hoped that his son is serious about his studies from now on as well as he has grown up mentally. But, he also don't wish his wish to fall down from the sky to earth so he didn't let his hopes rise.

He only asked him,” Why?”

Thomas has prepared for a long time to use different reasons to convince his father to get him the things he needed for his future.

But, at this time even with his strong memory he cannot say a thing he prepared to convince his father when they met their eyes. He only managed to utter out, ”I wish to learn. I wish to discover new things. From these books I can not only pass time while I rest.”

” So you wish to get them so you can learn?” Terrence asked.

” Yes ” he said with conviction.

Terrence doesn't say anything about his reply but looks at his son in his eyes to see if it is a moment's impulse or anything like that.
