Chapter 833 New Discovery
Phillip stepped forward timidly and opened his arms to Edmund.
Seeing this, Lucia immediately took the things in Edmund's hands over, took off his coat, and put it aside like a good housewife, saying, "Phillip must miss you very much. Take him for a walk."
Seeing her gentle smile, Edmund felt warm in his heart. So, he picked up Phillip and walked toward the pavilion in the distance without thinking much.
Lucia slowly sat down, stared after the father and son, and couldn't help letting out a long sigh. Then, she looked at Sophie and complained, "Joshua became less efficient."
"Yeah! Phillip has suffered a lot. He must learn to cheat people at such a young age to avoid his father. What a poor boy!' Daryl echoed in sorrow.
When Sophie had first started to treat Phillip, the treatment effect had been good. But every time he had returned to Edmund’s side, his condition had worsened.
Fortunately, Phillip was a smart kid. He had gradually realized something was wrong but couldn't explain it accurately. He had just disliked getting along with Edmund at first, and now, he was pretending sick to avoid him.
Over time, Edmund got used to it and let go of his guard. And he had even left Phillip in the Thomas family to have an excuse to spend more time with Lucia.
Being accused by the two women together, Sophie couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "Daryl, you're urging me because you are eager to adopt Phillip, right? Lucia, I helped you solve two big problems. It's OK if you are not grateful to me. But you should not have brought more problems for me! If it were easy to investigate Edmund, he would not have been sitting firmly in his current position now!"
When Daryl had first known she was unable to get pregnant because of the damage, she had insisted on breaking up with Paul. It was Sophie who had tried her best to persuade them into getting back together. Moreover, she had also managed to keep Phillip in the Thomas family so that Daryl could experience being a mother. But they were criticizing her together now! She could not stand it!
Lucia chuckled and hurriedly waved her hands to comfort her. After a few jokes, Sophie cleared her throat and said seriously. Actually, Joshua found something."
The three women habitually huddled together.
He found Phillip’s mother's information.' Sophie subconsciously glanced in the direction where Edmund had gone and whispered, "The open data shows that his mother died of illness, and the whole thing seems flawless. But after we looked into her death, we found she might have been murdered."
After finishing speaking, she sent the information to Lucia's and Daryl's mailboxes.
Phillip's mother was a daughter of a high-ranking official in Austos City. Her family used to be extremely powerful. In a sense, Edmund used to be a maternal son-in-law. After his ex-wife's father had passed away, he had used the old man's resources to get to where he was today.
The data showed that the woman had a congenital mental illness. When she had been pregnant with Phillip, her hormone change had induced the illness. To keep Phillip healthy, she had chosen to give up the treatment. In the end, she had failed to bear the pressure and died of mental illness.
"Griffith Organization has conducted an investigation and found Phillip's mother is the first patient who had this illness in her family. None of her family members has suffered from this mental illness before. So, I guess someone made her ill. Moreover, the so-called death due to mental illness is suicide.
After the investigation, I think it is difficult to determine whether it is suicide or not."
Hearing Sophie's analysis, the other two women felt chilly in the pavilion although it was scorching summer.
Lucia squeezed her phone tightly and murmured word by word, "Maybe, Edmund did it...’
