Chapter 1078
Despite Karen being unhappy about Jeremy’s cold behavior, she did not object to his request to carry his child.
Jeremy held the infant in his arms, and the next second, the baby revealed a bright smile to him. He let out coos and started to blabber.
However, he would soon be unable to witness this innocent smile anymore.
Lowering his head, Jeremy gave a kiss on the baby’s little face and handed Pudding back to Karen. He then touched Jackson’s head and said, “Jack, keep your sister accompany. When your brother is old enough, tell him that I love him and I love all of you as well.”
Then, heartbroken, he spun around.
“Jeremy, where are you going off to this time?” Karen pestered.
Jackson quickly caught up to Jeremy. “Dad, didn’t you just say that you’re going to have dinner with us? Aren’t you going to wait for Mommy’s return?”
Jeremy’s footstep came to a halt. “I’m not worth your mommy waiting for me again. Jack, from now onward, the man with the name Ryan will be your father.”
Jeremy choked. He went straight into his car and started the engine.
“Daddy, Daddy!” Jackson ran to catch up with Jeremy and shouted at the man who was sitting firmly in his car. “I only want my dad!”
Jeremy’s eyes reddened. Listening to the cries of his kid, he sealed his lips and ruthlessly slammed on the gas pedal.
“Daddy!” Jackson’s eyes got red.
Lillian, whose soul was healed after being hugged by Jeremy, had happily ran into the house to retrieve her drawings of the entire family. However, when she came out of the house, all she could see was Jackson chasing after Jeremy’s car which was driving straight ahead.
Lillian stared at the car that was going farther away while her little hand that was holding onto the drawing gradually dropped to her side.
The wind blew away the drawing in her hand while blowing away the innocent smile on her doll-like face too.
Even though he did not acknowledge Lana’s way of getting things done, he still cared for his family. He would be lying if he said he did not care about her.
Indeed, the IBCI arrived in a moment.
Yorick put on an innocent look and denied whatever things Lana had done. Along with Fabian, they were both brought back to the respective departments to be interrogated.
Soon, Jeremy arrived as well, except that he had not freed himself from the painful feeling of having to separate from his three kids.
If he had the choice, he would want to spend more time with his kids. He wanted to see them grow up and accompany his beloved till she became old.
However, things never went as he wished them to. He would eventually become a memory which she would not want to recall, slowly fading away from her memories and life.
Jeremy recomposed himself. After entering, someone came to notify him that Lana would like to meet him.
Lana just underwent an operation and was in the custodial ward. Seeing Jeremy’s arrival made her sit up immediately. Her reddened eyes on her pale face fixed their gaze upon Jeremy’s stony expression. Then, she suddenly burst into manic laughter.
