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.
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.
