Living With Half Brothers

Chapter 14

Alexander's POV:

I woke up the next day without Lexi waking me up. I take that as progress on my sleep schedule.

But then I looked at her bed to see it was empty. Then I looked at the time on the clock.

10:38 am.

Not that bad. Lexi wakes up at 9 am.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After I was done, I went to the kitchen to see Lexi staring at the laptop screen in full concentration.

I cleared my throat to let her know that I was there.

She looked up at me and said, "You took your time waking up."

"You didn't wake me up." I said and went to the fridge for some food.

"I don't have to wake you up all the time." She said.

I decided to change the topic. "What are you looking at?" I asked motioning towards the laptop.

"Remember what the officer told us yesterday?" She asked.

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Well, you might wanna look at this." She turned the screen towards me.

On the screen, there was a new page opened up that included all the information and images of what happened 17 years ago.

"Multimillionaire family, the Gonzalez found dead after their company got bankrupt." I read the title.

"That's not it. It says here, that only one of them is still alive. Anna Gonzalez. They even have a picture of our mom when she was young." Lexi said and scrolled down to the section of the article where the picture of our mom was.

"What the officer said was all true. Since the company was well known, the government somehow kept it running in hopes that the missing daughter would come back and take the position as a CEO. She never came back so they had to dissolve it." She said.

"So we talk to mom?" I asked.

"We talk to mom." She confirmed.

We asked Harris to give us a ride to the hospital. When we arrived we thanked him for giving us a ride and went inside.

We went up the elevator to our mom's room. We saw her last week. She was slowly getting pale and most of her hair was gone.

Today we saw her, she looked even worse then before. But every week she gave us a smile. Like she was happy to see us.

"Hi, mom." I greeted as I want to her side.

"Hi, honey." She greeted back.

"I'm here too." Lexi said sat on a stool beside her bed.

Mom gave her a weak chuckle. "I know, baby."

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Like yesterday." Mom answered. "How are you liking your new home?" She asked.

"I wouldn't call it my home for the time being but it's nice. We managed to warm up to them and them to us." I said.

"We told them a lot about you, you know. They were asking if they could meet you sometime." Lexi added.

"Of course they can. They don't have to be hesitant about it."

"They will bring their camera man with them, mom. You sure you'll be okay being recorded?" I asked with a smile.
