Chapter 1250...Outside the Civil Registry Office.A black luxury car was parked at the roadside. Luke sat in the driver's seat with a cigarette in his mouth.Bretton sat in the back seat."What time is it?" Luke asked.Bretton raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said, "Five past three."The next second, Luke said coldly, "Where is Eileen? Don't you want your lawyer's license?"Bretton trembled.He tried to explain carefully, "I called Mrs. Bennington this morning and specially asked her to come here at 3 p.m. She has already agreed."Luke sneered, "How can you believe her words?""What?"Bretton froze.Luke put out his cigarette with a stern face, as if something terrible was about to happen.Bretton didn't dare to make a sound but took out his phone and called Eileen.He called her several times but she didn't answer it.He wiped away the sweat on his forehead, feeling scared to death.After all, Luke's face was getting sterner and sterner....In the hospit
Chapter 1251As soon as the doctor left, Kirsten wailed with watering eyes and a running nose.Eileen said, "Don't cry. You make me nervous."Kirsten answered, "I don't want to cry, but I can't control myself. How can it be cancer? What are you going to do? Everyone said good things happen to good people. That's bullshit! Good people are being bullied, while bad guys get their way!""Now, now, don't cry. What if Brad comes in?"Only then did Kirsten stop sobbing."Does Brad know it?"Eileen shook her head. "No. I haven't told him."Kirsten's mind was in a whirl. "What about Luke?"Eileen fell silent.Seeing her expression, Kirsten understood. "He doesn't know it either?""No.""Tell him. He's your husband. Besides, Luke is powerful in Lanechett. Maybe he can help you get the best treatment."Eileen replied, "He hates me. Even if I die in front of him, he'll be indifferent."Kirsten didn't believe it. "You haven't even tried it. How can you be so sure?""I've been married
Chapter 1252Although Brad was afraid of Luke's anger, he was very stubborn and said, "I won't get up until you promise me!""Tell me! Who taught you to do this?" Luke said with a gloomy face.Brad curled up his body and shook his shoulders. "No one taught me."Obviously, Luke didn't believe it.Luke asked coldly, "Is that Eileen?"Brad quickly shook his head and said, "No! Mom didn't do that."Luke still didn't believe it. He said in a deep voice, "Get up."Brad was on his knees and refused to move.Luke lost his patience and walked over with big steps to grab Brad by the collar.He was rude and held Brad as if he were a puppy."Bang!"The door of the ward was slammed open.Hearing the loud noise, Eileen and Kirsten looked at the door.Luke's face was gloomy. He looked fierce and was holding Brad, whose face turned pale.Before Eileen could say a word, Brad had been thrown on the bed by Luke.Eileen looked at Brad anxiously. After she confirmed that he was fine, she l
Chapter 1253"Got it, Mr. Bennington."Jed reached out to catch Brad.Brad clutched the ward bed with both hands as hard as he could.But he was too young to exert greater strength, so he was lifted by Jed in a few seconds.The door of the ward was closed to block Brad's shouting.Eileen was worried, "Where are you taking him to?"Luke said, "It has nothing to do with you.""I carried him in my belly for forty weeks and gave birth to him. He is my son!""Bennington is his last name. And he was born a descendant of our Benningtons."Luke narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Stop pretending to be sick. Go to the Civil Registry Office and get a divorce with me."‘Am I pretending to be sick?’ She had already been so ill. Was there a need to fake an illness?"I will go to the Civil Registry Office for a divorce you as long as you promise me one thing.""Hmm?" Luke looked impatient as he waited for her next words."Brad will live with me for five months first. I will bring him
Chapter 1254Kirsten patted Eileen's hand and said consolingly, "Rest assured, that won't happen. No matter how heartless he is, he has no right and is in no position to forbid you from visiting Brad, because you're Brad's mother."Eileen lifted her head and repeated, "Kirsten, I know him too well."Words eluded Kirsten.After quite a while, she let out a long sigh. "Eileen, allowing yourself to fall in love with Luke was the biggest mistake of your life."Eileen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Tell me about it.""Actually, your life would've been pretty good if it were another man that you married," Kirsten remarked. "You would've had an enjoyable romantic relationship in which a man doted on you and cherished you."Eileen lapsed into silence.In fact, Kirsten was right.She had begun to have a sneaking affection for Luke at the start of her puberty, and she had been unable to develop feelings for any other man ever since.And afterwards, by a strange quirk of fate, she had marr
Chapter 1255The next day.At five o'clock in the morning, Kirsten came to the hospital.She was worried about Eileen.She was divorced, and her son was taken away. Now she was suffering from cancer, lying alone in the hospital bed. Who knew if she would do something stupid?However, when Kirsten pushed open the door to the ward, she froze.Eileen had woken up and looked quite well.She even greeted Kirsten with a smile."Why are you here so early?"Kirsten frowned. "Are you okay?"Eileen laughed self-deprecatingly. "Nothing worse can happen to me, right?""That son of a bitch! Has he allowed you to see Brad?" Kirsten asked.Eileen shook her head. "No."Kirsten panicked. "Don't do anything foolish!"Eileen curved her lips. "Don't worry. I promise I won't. I just came around all of a sudden.""What do you mean?""Brad will leave me sooner or later. Even if I'm very sad, I should learn to be used to living without him, and so should him."Besides, I have to stay in the h
Chapter 1256In the Bennington family's villa.Luke was sitting on the sofa, dealing with a pile of business documents in front of him.Brandy stood next to him, wanting to say something."What's the matter?"Luke stopped writing, looking at him.Brandy answered, "Mr. Bennington, since we took Brad back, he hasn't eaten anything.""He doesn't like the food here?" Luke asked indifferently."I think he misses Mrs. Bennington."Instantly, Luke's face turned cold as he said angrily, "Remember, don't mention that woman in this house.""Yes," Brandy nervously answered.He then added, "What about Brad?"Luke's brows were slightly knitted.After a long while, he replied, "Call Eileen and ask her what he likes to eat."Brandy thought, 'You forbid me to mention Mrs. Bennington, but you're doing that.'However, he didn't have the guts to say so.He then called Eileen and put her on speakerphone."Hello, Brandy, why are you calling? Is something wrong with Brad?" Eileen said in an
Chapter 1257The Bennington family's villa.Brandy asked the maid to cook some noodles and send them to the room upstairs.Half an hour later, the maid came down with the bowl.Brandy asked, "Has he eaten?"The maid shook her head. "No. You'd better go and have a look. He hasn't eaten anything for two days. He'll get ill if he continues like this."Brandy went upstairs to Brad's room.The little boy was sitting on the balcony, crying.He had never been separated from his mother before.Seeing his pitiful look, Brandy felt sad."Brad, we've cooked noodles for you. Would you like to eat some?"Brad shook his head. "No. I want Mom. I want to go home.""Alas..." Brandy let out a long sigh. "This is your home. Don't mention your mom anymore."Brad didn't say anything, turning around.He was very stubborn. No matter what Brandy said, he refused to eat.Brandy coaxed him for quite a while, his throat was dry but it was useless.He had no choice but to leave.Luke went to the
