Chapter 1655
“The descendants of the Huber family? That’s just Keaton,” Janelle reasoned. “Keaton isn’t in any danger. He hasn’t been hurt. Why would the ancestors say that
to you p>
“I can’t figure it out either,” Richard said. “So, tell me, do you think we made a mistake about Beatrix’s baby p>
Janelle frowned. “You mean, you think Beatrix is carrying the Huber heir p>
Richard nodded. “Yes p>
Janelle pursed her lips and immediately shot down the idea.
“Impossible! Do you think Beatrix is an idiot? If she were really carrying a Huber baby, she would have gladly agreed to a paternity test from the start! None of last night’s drama would have ever happened p>
“Besides, we ran multiple DNA tests. The proof is right there—it’s Mr. Joubert’s child, not a Huber p>
Richard looked distraught. “Then what did the ancestors mean? Why would they say I failed to protect the family’s descendants p>
Janelle couldn’t understand it either.
“Could Keaton be in some kind of danger? That can’t be right; he’s perfectly fine! Or maybe… you’re just desperate for a grandchild. After confirming last night that Beatrix isn’t carrying the family heir, you were so stressed that you overthought things p>
Richard was silent.
Janelle figured that must be it. What you dwell on by day, you dream of by night.
She tried to comfort him. “Don’t overthink it. Even if Beatrix’s baby isn’t ours, didn’t Winona promise you? She said she’d make sure you get to hold a grandchild in your lifetime p>
Richard’s spirits lifted at the reminder.
But his joy lasted only a few seconds before he said, “Do you think the ancestors appearing last night was a sign? What if Keaton and Winona have broken up again p>
“Don’t say such things!” Janelle immediately scolded. “Can’t you wish for something good for them for once p>
“Of course I want them to be happy,” Richard said miserably. “I’m just worried. That dream unsettled me. Why on earth would the ancestors give me a dream like that p>
Janelle thought for a moment. “For now, just try not to worry. Go back to the room and get some sleep. It go to the hospital later to check on the kids. If anything is wrong, I’ll come back and tell you p>
After coaxing Richard back to their bedroom, Janelle left the house.
In truth, she was unsettled too. For the Huber ancestors to suddenly appear and
accuse Richard of failing to protect their descendants p>
It was enough to make anyone’s mind race.
The Huber descendants were Jessamine and Keaton. Jessamine was married now,
so the focus was on Keaton.
But Keaton was a thirty-year-old
man. Even if something bad
happened to him, it wasn’t as inet
torstaimself
could blame Richard for it He was a grown adult, responsible for himself.
If the descendant the ancestors were talking about wasn’t Keaton, then who could it be?
Richard didn’t have any other children!
If the ancestors weren’t mistaken, then the problem had to lie with Keaton!
Could it be… that Keaton had a secret child somewhere?
And that child was now in danger p>
A shiver ran down Janelle’s spine. The thought terrified her.
Frowning deeply, she told the driver to take her to the hospital. She planned to see her son and Winona, and then find a chance to carefully bring the dream with him at might be the 21st century, but some things were just too strange to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
