Lincoln gritted his teeth, “Dad.”
The clear and calm voice entered Anderson’s ears from the microphone. Anderson’s mouth curled and there were smiles in his eyes, “I promise you.”
Lincoln hung up the phone, washed his face and came out of the washroom. He put the phone back into Catherine’s bag, “Mommy, you can take Sophia home now.”
“Mrs. Clark, tell the bodyguard to put down Sophia,” Lincoln spoke to Madison.
Catherine realized that something was wrong, “Who did you call just now?”
After her words were uttered, Madison’s phone rang.
“Hello, Andy.”
“Oh? Lincoln will go to the Clark family is it?”
“Lincoln, who allows you to make a decision by yourself.” Catherine tightly pulled Lincoln and did not let go of him.
Lincoln showed a sunny smile and gave Catherine a hug, “Mommy, don’t worry about me. I’m smarter than Mommy.”
Catherine’s eyes turned red and watery and she hated so much that her fingers were embedded into her skin, “It’s all Mommy’s fault. It’s because Mommy is too incompetent. Sorry, Lincoln.”
“You’re the best mommy in my view.” Lincoln kissed Catherine’s cheek, “You have to take good care of yourself. I’m his son; he won’t do anything to me.”
As Lincoln said, he pushed Catherine away and hugged Sophia who ran over to him, “Sophia, you must be obedient, you have to study yourself in the future.”
“No, I want you to teach me.” Although Sophia did not understand that Lincoln was saying goodbye to her, she knew that she could not finish her homework without her elder brother teaching her. She lay on top of Lincoln’s body like an octopus, “You teach.”
Lincoln laughed, “No way.”
The two kids talked with each other for a while. Not knowing what method Lincoln used to persuade Sophia, when Lincoln left with the members of the Clark family, Sophia even smiled and said goodbye to Lincoln.
Catherine was unable to show any smiles on her face.
On the contrary, Lincoln, who was sitting in the car, smiled and said goodbye to her. Lincoln stared at Catherine without turning his eyes until he could no longer see her figure in his sight, knowing that perhaps he would never see his mommy again in the rest of his life. Fortunately, he had a good memory so he was able to remember every little thing that happened when he was with his mommy.
“Mommy, don’t be sad. Lincoln will come back when he defeats the bad guys,” Sophia said innocently when she lay in Catherine’s arms.
“Yes, Mommy doesn’t cry.” Catherine held back her tears. She must bring Lincoln back! She would not let Lincoln lose his mom.
After watching Lincoln leave, Catherine turned around and entered the hospital, heading to Antonio’s office.
As if Antonio had expected that she would come over, he sat in front of the tea table by the window while making tea. When he heard Catherine’s voice, he said while smiling, “Come and have a seat.”
Catherine put Sophia down, bent her body, and whispered, “Sophia, you go and play with the nurse for a while. Mommy has something to talk about with him.”
Sophia nodded obediently, approached Catherine, and whispered, “This doctor is very handsome and I don’t feel any pain at all when he gives me an injection.”
Catherine could not help but laugh. She handed over Sophia to the nurse in Antonio’s office, “Sorry to bother you.”
“No problem, Sofia is very cute.”
After the nurse left with Sophia, the smile on Catherine’s face instantly disappeared.
“You’ve come to your senses?” Antonio handed the cup of tea to Catherine.
Catherine took the cup of tea, “Yes, it’s shameful to sidestep it.”
Antonio nodded with admiration, “This is how you should look like. I hear that for your sake, Owen has collaborated with the Clark Group. Five percent of the profits of the biopharmaceutical company under his name are given to the Clark Group for free. In addition, the Clark Group is allowed to interfere with the matter of the newly researched anti-cancer drug, with the condition that your children have to be returned to you.”
Catherine was stunned and she laughed silently with sorrow.
