Chapter 915

However, facing Jennifer’s twinkling eyes, Felix still couldn’t help answering, “All right!”

Yvette’s funeral was handled by her parents back in Strico. Howard and his wife made it clear that they didn’t really want to raise Felix, their grandson. After all, they were not living a good life at present, and at their age, it would be even more demanding for them to take care of a child.

Hence, even though they knew that the boy now lived with the Youngblood family, they didn’t mention taking Felix back with them.

Naturally, Jonathan also didn’t bring up Felix to Howard and his wife.

Everything seemed as though Felix did not even exist.

Right then, Zachary was still hospitalized. Although his life was saved, his body had to bear various side effects of medical treatment every day and was constantly hurting.

After learning about Yvette’s death, he merely gritted out, “Thank Heavens!”

Toward Yvette, the woman he once loved, he felt nothing but hatred now.

Zachary’s entire life had been ruined by Yvette, and even the last crime he committed was for their son Felix.

But only in the end did Zachary find out that Felix was, in fact, not blood-related to him at all. “Yvette Hamilton… You’ve truly played me for a fool!” Zachary seethed inwardly.

Yvette, the once celebrity, ended up not having a funeral. Howard and his wife simply cremated Yvette’s body in a hurry before leaving Strico.

In front of the gate of the Youngblood residence, Felix’s petite figure stood alone. He had heard from the manor’s housekeepers’ children that his grandparents had come to Strico to take Yvette’s ashes, but they didn’t visit him at all.

“Even your grandparents don’t want you!”

“Do you think you will have a good life in the future once you please Jennifer? One day, she will eventually throw you aside!”

“Jennifer just doesn’t know what your mommy did to Mrs. Youngblood. Your mommy even kidnapped Mr. Burton and asked for a ton of money! How horrible!”

The words of the housekeepers’ children still sounded in Felix’s ear.

Felix knew that Yvette had done heinous things and was also aware that he would have to leave the Youngblood residence someday.

“Felix, so you’re here! I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Just now, Mr. Big Beard gave me a new piece of music again. I’ve played it once. It’s a beautiful composition! Come listen to it!” Jennifer ran forward and grabbed Felix’s small arm to lead him to the main house.

However, his body stayed still, and his feet were rooted in place.

“What’s wrong?” She looked back at him in confusion and then realized that he was presently standing by the iron gate. “Do you want to go out?”

Felix bit his lower lip. Earlier, he had wanted to go out and ask his grandparents why they didn’t even come to see him. He wanted to find out if it was because they believed he would grow up to do bad things like Yvette did.

But now, at the sight of Jennifer, he suddenly felt that their answer no longer seemed that important. “If so, I’ll let Gary know and take you out! Where do you want to go?” Jennifer asked.

Felix shook his head. “I don’t want to go out.”

“Oh! Then, if you want to go out, just tell me. By the way, do you want to go to kindergarten? I’ll tell my parents to let you attend kindergarten with me, okay? This way, we can spend more time together every day.”

Felix gazed at Jennifer and inquired, “Why do you want to spend more time with me every day?”

“Because I like you, Felix! Of course, I’d want to spend more time with you.”

09:37 D “Just because I can play the piano?”

“Um…” Jennifer put on a serious, thoughtful look. “Felix, although I like you because you’re great at playing the piano, it’s not just about that. Some other children can also play the piano well, but I don’t like them that much.”

“Then, someday, if you don’t like me as much anymore, will you stop wanting to spend time with me?”

asked the boy in a low, childish voice.

Even though there was no change in the expression on his face, his tightly clenched fist revealed his anxiety.

“I will never not like you, Felix!” Jennifer said with certainty. “I told you I want to be with you forever, so you must stay in this house forever, too!”

“Forever… How long will this ‘forever’ be?” wondered Felix.

“Let’s go. I’ll play the new piece for you!” Jennifer dragged Felix toward the main house again.

This time, Felix didn’t resist and followed Jennifer back to the main house.

At this moment, Felix suddenly felt that it would be nice if he could stay in the Youngblood residence forever so that he never had to part with Jennifer.

When the day of the prenatal checkup came, Lillian, unsurprisingly, saw Callum appear in front of her.

Lillian had told her parents to reject the delivery of the over 100 packages that Callum had sent her before with the excuse that someone was playing pranks on them and so on.

Lillian’s parents did not get suspicious, but the leftover parcels still in Lillian’s room seriously gave Lillian a headache.

Having not seen Callum for several days, Lillian only felt that Callum seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

“Has work been overwhelming for Callum lately?” Lillian pondered.

Lillian cleared her throat and said, “If you’re too tired, you don’t actually prenatal checkup. I can go by myself.”

ave to accompany me to the “I am indeed a little tired, but it’s not as much as you think. At the least, it’s no problem for me to accompany you to the checkup.” Callum raised a hand and rubbed his face.

Last night, he went through the curse removal process again. The lingering pain of last night seemed to still be in his body right now; even without lifting a finger, he felt exceedingly achy and a vague piercing pain from head to toe.

There was only one session left. Once that was done, the curse would be wholly removed.

Unfortunately, the last session’s pain would also be more intense!

Last night, he even fainted several times in agony. The feeling that life was worse than death had never been so strong.

At that time, Callum could only silently say Lillian’s name on the inside and remind himself over and over again that he must get through it. Only after getting over this could he truly be with her!

After they arrived at the hospital, Lillian registered for her appointment and went to the gynecology department with Callum. Most of the people there were women, but there were also many men accompanying their wives or girlfriends.

Lillian glanced at the number in her hand and saw that it was still a while until her turn. Thus, she and Callum found some seats in the waiting hall and sat down.

“Are you really all right?” Lillian asked Callum, sensing that he seemed beyond worn out right now.
