Chapter 622 Make Them Pay

On the other hand, Joella's death allowed Edmund to say whatever was on his mind.

Moreover, Cameron would not know if Edmund lied because she couldn't disprove his claims.

However, Cameron was half-convinced.

"Do you have any other proof?"

Since his mother was very cautious when she was alive, he inherited some of that trait.

"Look at our faces.Don't you think you look a lot like me?"

Edmund wasn't spewing random nonsense this time; it was a perfectly reasonable supposition.

Even though he wasn't a Winthrop by blood, he resembled so much like Callum during his time with the

family that no one could tell he wasn't one of them.

Despite not being related, fate had brought together two people who looked strikingly similar.

Therefore, this gave him the perfect opportunity to fool the boy.

After hearing that, Cameron studied Edmund's face.

We do look similar to one another.

"Still...It seems to me that this other mister resembles me, too.So, why is he not my birth father?"

Edmund thought about it momentarily and then responded, "That's because he's my brother.He looks

like me, so naturally, he looks like you too.Furthermore, he's married, so how can he be your father?"

In the meantime, Cameron was still a young boy with a simple mind.

Hence, when he was reminded that Elspeth and Callum were married, he nodded reluctantly.

"Okay.I believe that you're my father now."

"That's a good boy," Edmund said with a chuckle.

Despite confirming their father-son relationship, Cameron remained anxious and hesitant to approach

him.

After saying that, Edmund squatted to Cameron's eye level and gestured for him to come over.

Cameron had been hiding behind Callum initially, but after seeing Edmund's friendly gesture, the boy

could now relax his guard.

Then, he slowly approached Edmund and threw himself into his arms.

"What's your name?"

Edmund's gaze was soft and gentle as he stared at the boy.

"My name is Cameron Henning."

"How should you address me?"

"Daddy," Cameron muttered bashfully before snuggling deeper into Edmund's arms.

The child suddenly remembered something, and his expression fell.

At that moment, Edmund noticed the boy's expression change and asked, "What's the matter, Cam?"

"Mommy's gone, and I can't find the person who did this to her."

When Edmund heard that, he gently patted Cameron's back.

"Don't worry.I'll help you find the culprit."

"Really? Can you help me find the culprit?"

Surprisingly, Cameron had developed deep trust and affection for Edmund despite their brief

acquaintance.

"Of course.I want you to know that the lady standing behind you— Miss Elspeth—is wonderful.She will

undoubtedly help you find the person who harmed your mother."

Cameron's face lit up expectantly after hearing that.

He was no longer hostile toward Elspeth.

"Is that true? Miss Elspeth, can you find them?"

She nodded in response.

"Of course.Not only will I help you find the people who did this to your mother, but I'll also make them

pay for it!"

"Thank you!"

Given the circumstances, this was the best possible outcome, but Elspeth and Callum weren't in a

celebratory mood.

Meanwhile, her frown expressed apparent disapproval.

Then, she gave Edmund a questioning look.

What are you doing? Don't you know that this decision will affect your entire life? However, Edmund

noticed her gaze and didn't seem to care.

He was still holding Cameron as he blinked and nodded at her as if to say, It doesn’t matter.I don't

mind.

"Thank you for taking care of my son," he said in a way that didn't sound awkward as if he were just

letting nature take its course.

"I'll get his identification papers sorted out."

After saying this, he carried Cameron and turned to leave.

"Edmund!"

Elspeth couldn't help but shout his name.

"It's fine," he reassured her and then left.

In contrast, she and Callum were relieved to learn that Cameron was Safe with Edmund.

Even though they were relieved, they weren't completely at ease.

The child was Callum's, and they couldn't figure out why Edmund appeared out of the blue and chose

to claim the boy as his.

Edmund was single and had not yet met the love of his life.

Now that he had a son, it would undoubtedly affect his love life.

There wouldn't be much of an issue if he didn't get married, but if he did, there was a chance that his

future wife might not be pleased with Cameron's existence.

Still, why wouldn't Edmund get married? Callum finally broke the silence after a long time.

"His feelings for you must be so deep that he's willing to make such a sacrifice."

My brother's feelings for her are so strong and unwavering that he is willing to adopt my son so that Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

she can have a blissful, unaffected marriage.

Elspeth shook her head in response.

"I don't think that's the case."

After hearing that, he looked slightly perplexed.

"He looks up to you as his older brother and admires you, so he's willing to deal with this troubling

matter on your behalf."

She knew that there had to be a reason why Edmund was willing to adopt Cameron and that it could

not be a unilateral decision.

After that, Elspeth and Callum stared at one another in silence while their eyes began to mist.

Then, she took a deep breath to keep her tears at bay.

"Anyway, our main goal now is to find Joella's killer.I have a suspect in mind."

Alf this time, Joella hid out of sight, not from her debt collectors, but from someone else.

I looked into her background and discovered she had no financial obligations.

Hence, I believe Yena is the only person who harbors a grudge against her.

However, why would she only lf Joella and spare Cameron? From what we knew about Yena, she

would not want this boy to live, given that he is Callum's child.

When he heard that, he pondered for a while.

"If she is responsible for Joella's death, she will not readily admit it."

After that, Elspeth stated solemnly, "She's a lunatic.There's no telling what other ludicrous things she'll

be doing now that she's back."

This time, Joella is the target; who will be the next victim? "She'll go to any length to get what she

wants.

Joella refused to cooperate with her, and she took Joella’s life."

Callum was aware of what she had mentioned, and he contemplated.

Now that Yena is in charge of Alphascape Group, she is extremely cautious about leaving behind any

traces of her involvement.

Therefore, she would have had her subordinates perform the dirty work.

Even if we did find the person responsible for Joella’s death, that person would only serve as a

scapegoat.

This situation eventually made both of them feel exasperated.

On the other hand, Harper had rushed to the hospital, where he saw the couple standing in the lobby

and approached them.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm here, Miss Elspeth.Where's the child you mentioned to me?"

Soon, his voice drew the two of them out of their thoughts.

After that, Elspeth flashed him a weak smile.

"Everything's fine now.You don't need to take care of the child anymore."

Although he had no idea what had occurred, he was relieved to learn that the matter had been

resolved.

"Then, why do you still appear preoccupied?"

"This is because we lack the means to make the true perpetrator pay for the crime."

She had earlier promised Cameron and was resolved to uphold her end of the bargain.
