Michael pretended to be nonchalant as he asked Nicholas, “Nicholas, who fixed you?”

Nicholas responded, feeling overjoyed, “It was Uncle Linus who did it!”

Then, Michael sternly stared at him and responded, “Linus wasn’t even home that day!”

Nicholas replied obstinately, “Hmph. You’re lying to me! Uncle Linus was home the whole time. If you don’t believe me, go and check with Nate! It was Uncle Linus who fixed me, and he even added new features to my functionality so that I could help Mom fight the bad guys!”

Staring at Nicholas, Michael decided to stop probing into this matter.

“Nicholas, go and spend time with your Mom.”

Nicholas said happily, “Alright. I’ll go now.”

Sitting on the chair where Elizabeth used to sit, Michael attempted to analyze everything that took place that day.

Since Nicholas was a robot, his memory could be compromised and altered.

Reckoning that Linus was definitely not home that day, Michael supposed that it had to be someone else who fixed Nicholas.

 

Right at this moment, Michael recalled hearing from Sophia that on that same day, Linus drove home one of his hometown friends who was visiting him, and he remembered her saying that she even gave him two red packets before he left.

Word had it that that friend of Linus was better with technology than Linus. Besides, for Linus to let someone into his workstation, that person must have had a close relationship with him.

If that person was the person Michael thought of, he reckoned that life would be too cruel to Sophia.
