Chapter 48 Was That Kid Dead
Lincoln was startled.
This was the second time that Florence had asked him this question.
And the last time was five years ago.
After Florence gave birth to the baby, the first sentence when she saw him was, "Where is the child?"
Lincoln always remembered his answer at the time.
"He's dead."
As soon as he finished his words, Florence face turned completely pale, and her expression of grief was still vivid in his mind. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
But now, Lincoln looked at Florence, hesitated in speaking and nodded. "He's dead."
The answer was exactly the same as before.
"Is he dead?" Florence murmured, as if she was talking to herself or asking. But she didn't know whom to ask.
"The whole face of the child was red when he was born. He didn't cry either. The doctor also tried to save him, but he couldn't survive." Lincoln sighed and said, "Florrie, it has passed for so many years, so don't think about it anymore. I know Allison was wrong."
Upon hearing this, Florence said with her eyes wide open, "You know everything."
But Lincoln chose to favor Allison and Colleen.
Lincoln knew about this, but he never mentioned it or took it seriously. He felt ashamed of what happened at that time.
To Florence, he did have a lot of guilt. "Florrie, I am so sorry."
Florence closed her eyes in pain, and laughed at herself. "I should have known it a long time ago."
Lincoln knew the grievances and sufferings she suffered over the years, but he just turned a blind eye.
"Florrie." Lincoln said earnestly, now that you are valued by the Cooper family, your life will only be better in the future. You can find any man you want. Don't look back at the pass."
But that was her first child.
She even hadn't seen her child.
Florence didn't say a word. He sighed and left.
He couldn't let the those two children ruin Florence.
Yes!
Florence actually gave birth to fraternal twins, which were very beautiful children. Though Lincoln couldn't bear to throw them away, the Scott family could not be ashamed.
Florence gave birth to two children out of wedlock, and he didn't know who the father was. He couldn't keep the children, so he asked someone to deal with them.
Now he didn't know the whereabouts of those two children.
Lincoln got in the car, and Allison started crying first. "Lincoln, see what happened today? Florence was so arrogant and cared for nobody. She didn't take me, her stepmother, seriously at all."
"Yeah, dad. Florence also asked someone to stop you getting in. Didn't she embarrass you?"
"You two idiots." Lincoln asked sternly, "Who is that child and that man tonight? Did you really see everyone as a fool? If you ruin Florence, it won't do you any good."
Colleen's face was full of jealousy. "I just don't want to let her show off. Besides, she did give birth to babies out of wedlock."
Lincoln was resentful towards Colleen for failing to meet his expectations and said, "Your position in the Hudson family is unstable, and if you don't get along with Florence, it will only be worse for you. If you want to gain a foothold in the Hudson family, you can't fight against Florence, instead, you have to fix the relationship with her. The Scott family will have to rely on Florence in the future."
"Ask me to please her? How could this be possible." Colleen hated Florence even more when she thought of the day when she went to please Florence and got herself humiliated in the end.
Allison quickly thought it through and held Colleen's hand. "Coley, your dad is right. Florence is now Andrew's goddaughter. This is the fact. You are not pleasing Florence, but the Cooper family. If you are liked by Andrew and he also admits you as his goddaughter, will Thomas not like you?"
When she heard that she could keep Thomas, Colleen was motivated. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Mom, dad, I got it. Don't worry, I won't fight against Florence in the future."
The introduction banquet was over.
Florence accompanied Andrew and Brielle to see off the guests.
When Thomas walked out, Florence just glanced at him indifferently. That was it.
Thomas wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After the guests left, Brielle said, "Florrie, you have been tired all night. Go and take a rest."
"Godmother, I have to send Zachary back to the hospital and then I will go back to my apartment. Godfather, godmother, you two have been busy all day. Have a good rest." Florence was not used to living in the Coopers' mansion.
Andrew saw through Florence's mind and winked at Brielle.
Brielle smiled and took out a bunch of keys. "Florrie, your godfather and I have prepared a house for you in Seyslands Community. You can move there."
How could the Cooper family's goddaughter live in such a small apartment?
"Thank you godfather and godmother." Florence took the key, but she did not intend to move there.
After Florence sent Zachary back to the hospital, Alexander came out of the Coopers' mansion.
Andrew personally see him off.
"Mr. Logan, I have told the people in charge of the jail, the man who slandered Florrie will never be discharged from prison again in his life."
"Mmmm." Alexander's tone was cold. "For the rest, I won't bother you, Mr. Cooper."
It implicated that that he himself would take up the matter.
He didn't need to make it difficult for Andrew.
Andrew smiled and replied, "Okay."
It was inappropriate for Andrew to cause the trouble for Allison and Colleen. It was the personal grievance among the Scott family, so it was even more inappropriate for him to intervene.
Alexander got into the car and William asked, "Boss, you have been missing for a few days, and if you don't show up, it may be hard to coax Ms. Scott."
Alexander attended the banquet as the head of the Logan family, just to let Andrew know that he valued Florence.
He should also go to see Florence.
Florence sent Zachary back to the hospital and left. The peace after the hustle and bustle made her feel in a trance.
Florence stood by the river and the cold wind was blowing. Beckham's face came to her mind.
Where did that kid go?
He wasn't found in the Coopers' mansion. He had no parents, so where could he go?
The phone rang suddenly, and it was Alexander.
Florence stared at the phone, frowned, but did not answer it for a long time.
In a car on the other side of the road, Alexander was staring at Florence who was in a daze by the river. Seeing that Florence didn't pick up the phone, he was a little confused.
The ringing of the phone stopped. Florence still remained in the original posture.
Alexander called her again. Florence calmed down, and then answered it.
On the phone, it was Alexander who sounded that he couldn't wait to see her. "Florrie, are you angry?"
Florence put one hand in her pocket, trying to keep her tone calm and said, "No. You have finished your work?"
"Yes. I am back. I want to see you. Where are you? I will be there immediately." Alexander didn't get out of the car and went to find Florence. If he showed up in front of her all of a sudden, it would make her suspicious, that was why he called.
"I'm staying with Zachary in the hospital. I have been busy for a day. I am a little tired and want to go to sleep." Florence lied and forced a smiled, "You might be tired too. Go to bed early."
Without waiting for Alexander to say anything, Florence had hung up the phone.
She was upset, and she was afraid that her secret would be exposed if she saw Alexander now.
Alexander in the car stared at Florence by the river, frowning coldly.
His intuition told him that Florence's depression must have something to do with what happened at the banquet.
Having a child out of wedlock...
