Chapter 241
Ken hesitated. Then, he voiced his suspicion, saying, “Felipe’s company and business have been in Glendale this whole time, but for some reason, he left to go to F Country.
“Felipe has been staying in F Country for the past three years and rarely left. According to sources, he met Vera on the plane and fell in love with her at first sight.”
F Country.
Jeremy remembered that Vera was also from F Country. However, from her appearance, she was obviously not a native of F Country.
After he hung up the phone, Jeremy read through the information slowly.
Nothing about Vera’s information was suspicious. However, he saw a date that he would never forget from Felipe’s file.
That day three years ago, Madeline’s cold body had laid in his arms. She was no longer breathing nor did she have a pulse. She had left him forever.
However, it was that day Felipe left Glendale to go to F Country.
It was evident on Felipe’s entry and exit information.
Madeline died that night and Felipe left Glendale without any special reasons.
Was this a coincidence?
Jeremy woke Jackson up with this suspicion in mind. After cleaning Jackson up, he brought him to kindergarten.
Jeremy drove his car and looked at Jackson from the rearview mirror. He was silent in the backseat the entire time. Suddenly, he recalled what Madeline said to him last night, ‘I suggest that you take him to see a doctor.’
Her words kept repeating in his head after she said them.
“Jackson, are you feeling unwell?” Jeremy asked.
Jackson’s dark eyes shifted slightly after he heard that. He held his bag tightly with his head lowered and shook his head.
Jeremy frowned.
Jackson had never been this depressed in his memory. Back then, he would always follow behind him and call him ‘Daddy’. He used to be so cheerful and loving.
However, this child stopped calling him ‘Daddy’ after some time. In addition to that, he started drifting further and further away from this child.
The teacher looked over to where he was pointing. “You mean Lillian Whitman?”
Lillian Whitman.
That was the child’s full name.
Jeremy nodded. His intense gaze was locked on Lillian’s fair and adorable face. “Yes, her.”
The teacher smiled when she realized what was going on. “Oh, so Lillian is also one of the Whitmans. I was wondering why she’s so close with Jackson. As it turns out, they’re siblings!”
Siblings.
That word penetrated Jeremy’s heart.
His heart trembled, and he could not shake this complicated feeling away.
Lillian was brought out quickly. When she saw Jeremy, she smiled and displayed her dimples. “Hello, nice mister.”
