Chapter 587 An Instant Change in Attitude
Robert nodded in agreement. “Janus is right,” he affirmed, “This time, it’s a colossal mistake on your mother’s part, an outrageous error. No matter who she is, if she breaks the law, she’ll be held accountable, just like anyone else.”
Drew fell silent, her face covered as she wept. Tears trickled between her fingers… “But that’s my mom. She’s my… my mom!” Janus gently wrapped his arms around Drew, comforting her.
“Do you think Lincoln isn’t suffering?” he asked, “Though she isn’t his biological mother, she’s the one he’s called ‘mom’ for over two decades!” “Drew, consider this. His mother hurt the woman he loves. His pain can only increase, not lessen.”
“How can we beg Lincoln for mercy at a time like this? Are we even human anymore? If our mother knew we were pleading for her, she’d only feel more ashamed!”
“I believe Lincoln will make his own judgment. Our father must have planned for what’s to follow. Our pleas would be futile, even adding fuel to the fire.” Drew gradually calmed down. She looked at Janus and asked,
“So, what should we do? We can’t be of any help.” Once again, Janus replied, “Over at Zayla’s, there’s Lincoln and Ward. Lincoln is capable and Ward is renowned for his medical skills. We surely can’t be of much help.”
“But our mom, she’s all alone. Maybe, we should accompany her back to Kovis. It’s the only thing we can do as her children right now.”
Upon hearing Janus’s analysis, Robert felt that this child had grown up. He seemed carefree and was hard to please with his sharp tongue usually.
But who would have thought that in a critical moment, not only could Janus console his sister, but also make decisions. Drew immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ll return to Kovis with Mom.”
Robert, hearing this decision from the two mischievous kids, felt a weight lifted off his chest. Thankfully, they hadn’t rushed headlong into trouble.
In the current situation, whether it was Jefferson’s or Lincoln’s predicaments, if they got involved, they’d end up badly hurt even if they didn’t lose their lives.
Not only would they not be helpful, they might even cause more harm… Right now, the best choice was for the
siblings to return to Kovis with Miriam. When Lincoln returned to his room, Zayla had already awakened. She was trying to get out of bed. Ward and Aziel dared not touch her, they could only try to convince her frantically.
“Ms. Vargas, you really can’t get out of bed, your foot has just been bandaged!” Ward echoed, “That’s right, Ms. Vargas, your foot is severely injured, you need to rest properly in bed!” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Otherwise, when Lincoln comes back and sees you walking around, what will become of us?” Aziel patted his chest. “That’s right, Ms. Vargas, tell me what you need or want to get. I guarantee you I’ll get it.”
Zayla watched the two of them bustling about and didn’t know what to say for a moment… Until, a set of footsteps sounded. Lincoln strode into the room. Ward and Aziel started talking at each other. Lincoln frowned, his ears aching.
“Shut up.”
“Got it.”
Then, Lincoln walked to the side of the bed, his icy demeanor changing instantly. He gently touched her cheek with his hand. “Tell them if you need something.”
Zayla remained silent. She reached out to grab his shirt, then motioned for him to come closer with her fingers.
He chuckled lightly, bending over to lend an ear. In a very soft voice, Zayla whispered something into his ear
