Chapter 212
On December 20th, Lucy officially began her vacation and was planning to take Seven on a holiday trip.
That day, she took Seven to the hospital for his vaccinations.
Seven had grown significantly taller. His speech had become much more fluent, and his vocabulary was expanding rapidly.
Lucy pushed the stroller into the hospital, the nanny walking by her side.
Ethan Sterling happened to be in Switzerland recently. His research had hit a snag, and he was currently deep in discussion with his mentor, head bowed over some data.
Ethan looked up and spotted Lucy. He was about to go over and say hello.
But when his gaze landed inside the stroller-on the child wearing a white down jacket who looked exactly like a young Kingsley—his pupils dilated in shock. Disbelief flooded his eyes. He even subconsciously rubbed his eyes, doubting his own vision.
“My God, this is huge he murmured involuntarily.
His mentor looked over at the sound, frowning. “What are you muttering about? These two sets of data still have issues. Calibrate the rest yourself p>
Ethan quickly retracted his gaze, giving a perfunctory reply. “Got it p>
But his mind had drifted far away, entirely consumed by the connection between that child and Kingsley.
Ethan’s eyes followed Lucy’s retreating figure, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. He had intended to type a message, but he was so agitated he couldn’t hit the keys accurately. Finally, he simply sent a voice message to Thurston Fletcher:
[If Kingsley finds out what you’ve been hiding, you’re dead! Pick a gravesite, brother, and I’ll help dig the hole p>
Thurston listened to the voice message and instantly grasped the key point. He replied immediately: [You’d better keep your mouth shut. Don’t get involved, or you’re finished too. Just pretend you didn’t see anything p>
Ethan sent a voice reply quickly, his
tone full of agreementing
out of it it’s not easy ford woman to raise a child alone p>
There was a brief silence on the other end before Thurston’s voice came through again:
[Watch your mouth. Just pretend you don’t know p>
Ethan listened and ran a quick mental calculation. The advice was sound. He quickly replied:
[Understood. I have a conscience. I saw nothing. Don’t worry. I’ll just have to apologize to Kingsley in spirit for now p>
He knew about the situation between Kingsley and Lucy. As a bystander, he leaned towards Lucy. Since she chose to keep it a secret, he felt no obligation to tell Kingsley. He would feign ignorance.
Why bully a woman?
He put away his phone, but his curiosity got the better of him. He asked someone to
check which department Lucy had visited.
The news came back quickly: Pediatrics.
When he saw the child’s registered information, he couldn’t help but mutter:
“Man, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but my conscience won’t allow it. Here’s hoping you figure it out yourself soon p>
Lucy was completely unaware of this, having no idea that Seven had been spotted by Ethan.
Elsewhere Jane Lambert received
the news first and sent a message to Thurston one by one, everyone is running to Switzerland. Do you all have nothing better to do p>
Thurston replied quickly: [Don’t be angry. Ethan still has a sense of right and wrong.
You can count on him p>
