Harrison gently stroked her head.
Ryan's face was practically purple with rage.
Before he could explode, Lady snorted. "If you're done, then take your people and get out of my sight!"
She loved her son, but she felt she had wronged her daughter-in-law far more. And what was he doing today? Bringing his mistress home the very day his wife returned, interrogating her precious grandson and granddaughter-in-law right in front of her!
How could she not be furious?
Ryan had no intention of staying long either. He said coldly to Susan, "Go get Carter. We're leaving!"
Susan bit her lip. She'd been humiliated today, and her son was still lying in a hospital bed. She had thought he would get justice for them.
But sensing Ryan's fury, she didn't dare say another word and went to fetch Carter.
Susan seemed terrified of Marina seeing her younger son, as if a single glance from Marina might harm him. After bringing the boy out, she held his hand tightly, keeping him hidden by her side.
Anastasia glanced over at them.
Carter was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, thin and frail with a pale face. The veins under the skin of his slender wrists were clearly visible.
It was obvious his health was poor.
He was a quiet, reserved child with long eyelashes that were perpetually lowered, as if he didn't dare to look at anyone.
Anastasia stared at his face, finding herself looking a second time.
Although he was Susan's son, Carter had inherited very little of his mother's looks. His features were strikingly similar to Harrison's!
Anastasia felt that even if she and Harrison had a child of their own, the resemblance couldn't be this strong.
At the time, though Susan had appeared on the scene, the couple hadn't yet reached a point of no return. In fact, Marina was even pregnant.
Everyone in the Lancaster family thought Susan was just a temporary affair that would soon pass, and that the couple was about to reconcile.
But then, Susan suddenly showed up with a pregnancy test report, claiming she was also carrying Ryan's child.
And so, the couple, who had just managed to reconcile, broke apart once more.
Anastasia froze.
Pregnant? But Harrison didn't have any siblings.
She gripped Lady's hand nervously. "That baby..."
