Chapter 2428
"He's dead?" Belinda was completely stunned when heard the news for the first time.
Immediately after that, she mumbled, "Then who will be giving US money to spend in the future? What should we do? What should we do if we don't have money? My family is not going to give me any money. Not only will they not give me money, but they will even bully me. What should I do? If I had known this would happen, I never would have given birth to this child. I can't even support myself. What should I do?" Belinda sobbed.
At that moment, the kind of arrogance of a lady from an eminent family the woman once had completely disappeared. What has been replaced was a pitiful woman who was cowering and not knowing what to do in the future.
"My family will bully. The old man's family will also not let me off the hook. What should I do?" The woman was trembling. She was not even able to take care of her child anymore. The child kept on crying in the crib, but she did not care at all.
After Vincent came back from classes and saw the woman like that, he thought something major had happened. When he learned that the old man had died, he unexpectedly felt relieved. "It's alright that he is dead. He will only be harming people if he is alive anyway. He is already so old. He deserved to die! It's perfect now that he is dead. You and his family no longer have anything to do with each other anymore in the future!"
"What about me then? I don't have money anymore in the future!" Belinda howled hysterically.
"So what if you don't have money? It's not like we can't get any food on the table. I will be graduating in one year. With my grades at the moment, I am very confident that I will be able to stay back and be a teaching assistant after I graduated. It's not a problem for me to raise a family of three. Besides, after the child turns one, you can also find a job or something. We can live a good life by relying on our own hard work and not anybody else!" Vincent looked at Belinda angrily. 1
He had always hated the woman very much. Even if she was a victim. However, Vincent really did not hate the child. Even though the child was not his, he did not hate him at all. The child was extremely innocent. His father died as soon as he was born. Even if his father was not dead, his father also would probably never be bothered about him at all.
Vincent has decided that he was going to be the child's father from then on. He must love and protect the child properly.
Vincent carried the child in one hand and prepared infant formula for him with the other hand. He then fed the child once he had finished preparing it. The child, who was still bawling earlier on, immediately stopped crying. After he gulped and finished a bottle of formula, the boy was so tired that he actually fell asleep. Vincent felt so sorry for him. He felt both sorry and warm.
"Gosh, you little thing. Look at how delicate you are. A short cry and a sip of milk were enough to make you so tired that you fell asleep. Sleep tight. You'll grow a little taller when you wake up."
Vincent put the child back in the crib, and then looked at Belinda seriously. "Listen to me carefully. You are now still lactating, but you don't breastfeed the child, since the child is on infant formula and we don't have any source of income now anymore, you will have to work! Even if you have to work as a dishwasher, you still have to work! otherwise, the child will have no infant formula to drink! Also, after I finish my classes at night, I will also find a job. I will take on two more jobs working as a tutor on the weekends.
This way, it will be enough to support US. It's not hard."
To Vincent, it really was not hard. He had a tough childhood and he was born to be able to endure hardships. Also, he was able to find joy in the miseries.
However, Belinda was not able to do it. she thought it was too embarrassing to go and wash dishes, she did not find it embarrassing to be kept by an old man who was almost 80 years old, but she found it embarrassing to be working as a dishwasher.
