Chapter 983
Since he was heartless to her, then he shouldn't blame her for being mean to him. Right away, Lauren decided that she must take charge of her own fate that time.
"Can I trust you?" What if he was also someone like Zedd?
Pinching her cheeks, Willy smiled and said.
"Who else can you trust if you don't even trust the father of your child? Laurie, as I've said before, you're my woman! My woman is my responsibility!"
That was right! No matter how inhumane he was, he wouldn't just stand by and let his child have a disgraceful mother!
At present, except for him, Lauren actually had no better option!
Sharon might be able to help her, but in terms of power and connections, she surely could not be compared to him. If she went to her cousin for help, she would not just have to start from scratch, but also might just make a fool of herself. Lauren kept silent as a bitter smile creased her face. That was how tough her life was!
"Stop messing around! It's inconvenient to stay in the Flowering Residences, isn't it? Come home, all right?"
Did he know where she was staying?
All of a sudden, Lauren's heart skipped a beat. She was unsure whether she was happy or unhappy. She didn't agree, nor did she refuse. After all, if she just returned like that, it would mean that she was just being strong-headed and dramatic earlier on, and that would put her in the wrong!
In the end, both of them compromised. Lauren moved out of Sharon's house, but she did not go back to the Bowles Manor. Instead, she moved to Willy's another empty apartment.
Without realizing it, it had been more than a month. In the president's office of Soaver International, Frederick checked his cell phone several times. He couldn't help sighing faintly. "Still nothing..."
Where the hell was Ally? Why wasn't she posting any updates? Did she block him? Or, did she delete his contact?
Once the thought came to his mind, Frederick moved his hand. He then retracted it and knocked himself on his head, "You're really silly..."
He had just sent her a text message the night before! He would send her a text message at least once a day, but recently, she had never replied, not even scolding him. She did not delete his contact, for sure! Did she not see it, or...
While his mind was in a mess, the office door was suddenly opened, "Frederick!"
With one foot already steeping into the office, Chet stopped in his tracks as he thought of something, "I'm sorry, I forgot to knock on the door! Anyway, there's news..."
Frederick threw away the documents in his hands, unable to hide the joy on his face.
At once, he stood up and asked, "Where is she? Where's Ally? Is she back?"
"Huh?"
They stared at each other. Chet was taken aback for a while before he said apologetically, "It's not about Alicia. It's Danica!"
Sure enough, the next second, Frederick sat back down with a dejected look on his face like a deflated balloon, disappointment was written all over his face. "Oh..."
Frederick raised his hand and motioned Chet to take a seat before asking, "Where's she? Is she
finally willing to show up?"
A few pieces of paper were handed over to him. As soon as he looked down, Frederick was shocked, "A sanatorium?" Why did the location look so familiar? Where had he seen it before?
His brows furrowed as he moved the paper closer to his eyes. Chet chuckled and said.
"It looks familiar, right? It's at the foot of the mountain behind Promise Garden! That's what others mean by the darkness of the shadow under the lamp! We searched high and low in Casterwich City, but she's right under your nose all this time! If you are talking a walk from the north gate, you might even bump into her!"
What?
Upon hearing that, Frederick was taken aback, "Promise Garden? Since when was there a sanatorium like this?"
"The area behind the mountain used
that
to be a small scenic area. Initially, this location was an amusement park. Perhaps an accident happened there before, and with the constant planning on the surroundings, land was gradually isolated. It was left there for a long time. About four years ago, it was changed into this private sanatorium. However, it's not well known amongst the people in Casterwich City. After checking it out, I learned
that this place mainly accepts disabled people! As the location is relatively isolated from the main city area, and with the surrounding trees, this place is both quiet and secluded, Hence, not many people know of this place. Of course, this place provides a relatively high-end service. It's mainly catered towards successful people like you who can live in Promise Garden. It's a place for rich families, celebrities, people with congenital disabilities, or people who are disabled from accidents. Their charges are extremely high, as well as the confidentiality. Still, the people there are very well taken care of. Of course, being rich on its own is not enough to get one in! The
application period itself is said to
take three months."
Frederick could understand that. After all, the wealthy and prestigious families were also humans themselves. It was not uncommon for some families to have illegitimate children or imbeciles. However, for the sake of the family's reputation, such things or scandals could not be exposed. Since they could not afford to ruin their image, that kind of place was the best choice!
However, why did Danica go to such a place? Could it be that her biological mother...
Frederick flipped through the papers, and his eyes widened once again, "This is..."
In the photo, there were Danica and a boy. He was fair and chubby, looking like he was about seven years old. In his hand was an aircraft model toy. His eyes seemed to be slanted, and his gaze was a little dull.
"He's not her illegitimate child, is he?"
Judging from her attitude, Frederick randomly guessed. However, he saw Chet nodding his head in agreement.
"Huh?"
How could that be possible? Based on the child's age, it probably happened sometime after she left. At that time, although he did not see her, he was not completely ignorant of her movements. How could she hide such a big person and her pregnancy for ten months? "Most likely!"
Chet took out two more pieces of paper and handed them over.
"This boy is called Abel. He was transferred to this sanatorium this year. His guardian is someone from Indzia, called Tedd Rubio. He must have quite a relationship with
Danica, and it should be him who et
had taken Danica away from the hospital. The name Abel means life and breath. It's not difficult to know from his name that he's a bit different from normal children. The most interesting thing is that Tedd, an unemployed vagrant without any family members, can spend money like water. He spends at least a hundred thousand dollars to raise such a child every month!"
Hearing that, Frederick could roughly guess. Their eyes met, and a smile tugged at his lips, "A scammer? A gigolo?"
No wonder he could make Danica let go of everything with just a few words. He just didn't expect someone like her to have maternity!
Thinking of that, Frederick couldn't help thinking of Alicia. She wanted children so badly! If it weren't for her, he and Alicia would already have a baby!
At that thought, he clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles cracked. Those emotions began to surge up in him again!
Just then, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. He narrowed his eyes as he took a glance at it. Then, a dark glint flashed across them, "Danica?"
