Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 248

The answer was both expected yet unanticipated.

It was unanticipated because Scarlett couldn't accept it.

The wedding date was fast approaching. Once Veronique and her son's identity came to light, not only would the Xuereb family's reputation take a hit, but the Fletcher family also would be subject to gossip. That wasn't something her father and brother wanted to see.

After pondering for a long time while sitting by the bed, she unlocked her phone and texted her brother.

She typed: Make some time and come over to Hallsbay these few days. I've got something urgent to discuss with you.

Veronique can't be allowed to live, nor the illegitimate child she gave birth to. I'll never allow the Fletcher family to become the laughingstock of the entire political arena. Never!

At the laboratory, the doorbell rang.

Veronique walked out in casual clothes and opened the door.

As she locked eyes with the person at the door, she was stunned for a moment.

The instant she jolted back to her senses, she instinctively wanted to close the door.

Justin stretched out a leg and stuck it at the edge of the doorframe. In a hoarse voice, he uttered, “I've got something to clarify with you. Let's talk things out.”

Turning her face away, Veronique countered placidly, “There's nothing to talk about between us. We've made things clear at the Revelle residence that day. Henceforth, we shall go our separate ways, never meeting again. You should leave. Don't disrupt my life anymore.”

Justin hung his head. After standing there silently for a long while, he took out a photo from his pocket and held it out to her. His voice guttural, he murmured, “Indeed, there's nothing to talk about between us. But we can still talk about him.”

Veronique lowered her eyes reflexively. As soon as she made out the countenance on the photo, her face went deathly pale, and she started trembling uncontrollably.

“How...”


Justin said nothing. Putting the photo in his hand away, he whirled around and headed out while saying “I'll be waiting for you in Room 201 at the coffee shop across the street.”

“Jus—”

Before Veronique could call out the man's name, he disappeared at the end of the busy street.

She slammed the door shut stiffly.

The muffled thud snapped her out of her trance completely.

Reality told her that Justin had learned the truth. He had already known about Zephyr's identity.

Judging from his bloodshot eyes and utterly indifferent expression, Zephyr's existence must be exceedingly troubling to him, huh? Would he detest having such an illegitimate child?

Her legs gradually went numb. She slid down the doorframe and slumped onto the floor.

In the past few days, the thought of telling Justin about Zephyr's identity undeniably occurred to her.

After having been turned down by Scarlett, especially, she felt that he was the only person in the whole world who could save Zephyr.

She discovered that it was of no use even if she traveled the globe in search of a suitable bone marrow match. If the other party refused to donate, all her efforts would have been in vain.

Therefore, the safest and most secure solution was to seek Justin out and have him go for a bone marrow compatibility test.

However, she began wavering after beholding the man's icy and impassive attitude earlier.

She wanted to run away, fleeing as far as possible with Zephyr.

Zephyr is still young. How devastated would he be if he were to see his biological father looking at him with such a cold and detached gaze?

In a private room on the second floor of the coffee shop, Justin was sprawled on the table, resting, when Veronique pushed open the door and stepped in.

Hearing movement, the man slowly lifted his head. His bloodshot eyes fell on her, and he rasped, “You're here. Come over and have a seat. Let's talk about the child.”

Veronique bit her lip hard. After standing there for a moment in silence, she walked over and sat down across from him. Subsequently, she ventured hesitantly, “Have you misunderstood things, Mr. Xuereb? Zephyr is my sister's son. He has nothing to do with you.”

“Hah.”

Justin seemingly laughed, but it carried a hint of self-deprecation and mockery. That aside, helplessness and regret dominated.

“Don't beat around the bush or try feeling me out anymore. Artemis told me about it personally. Do you think he would've dared do so without Bailey's orders?”

At once, Veronique went silent.

In truth, she didn't know what to say either.

“Back then... I forced myself on you?” Justin inquired with much difficulty.

I didn't want to hurt her, so I stayed away from her from the very beginning, allowing her no opportunity to approach me. Nor did I give her any hope. Later, she went abroad and started a brand new life. She slowly made a name for herself in the international arena and became deeply respected and revered in the medical field. When I heard about it, I was really happy for her. But never had I expected fate to be so cruel. In the end, I was still the person who hurt her most.
