Chapter 975
Liam casually said, “For the sake of outsiders, they naturally have to appear respectable” He paused, then added, “Mason used to have a younger brother, two years younger than him. He died of suffocation at just over a year old after swallowing a small part of a toy”
At that time, Mason’s parents were out shopping. Because Krista came back from abroad, Mr. Fletcher was very happy and held a grand welcome banquet. He insisted on holding it at home. Mason’s parents needed to prepare for the banquet
As a result, both of them were sent to prepare for the welcome of the younger sister. The whole family was busy taking care of Krista. The two children at home were neglected, and an accident happened
With no adults present, no one knew that the child was suffocating from the toy Mason was only three or four years old at the time and didn’t know why his brother was having trouble breathing He tried to seek help from adults, but they thought he was just making a fuss and ignored him
By the time the nanny went upstairs to check, the child was already blue in the face and his heart had stopped beating
By the time they got to the hospital, the doctor immediately told them to prepare for the worst
Upon hearing the bad news, Mason’s mother fainted on the spot
The shopping could have been done by the nanny, but Old Mr. Fletcher felt that would be disrespectful to Krista, so he insisted that they go Mason’s mother was still nursing and worried that her baby son would be hungry or need a diaper change She basically called the nanny every half an hour to ask about the situation
The nanny verbally said the child was fine, but then this happened.
Mason’s parents went to question the nanny, but she said she had been sent by Old Mr. Fletcher to do other things and told Krista to look after the children
But Knsta said, she didn’t know anything about it
The child died at home due to the negligence of the adults, and no one in the Fletcher family was held responsible for it. Mason’s mother finally called the police but all they could do was determine the cause of death. As for blaming, that’s a matter for the court.
Old Mr Fletcher felt that the matter was very disgraceful, so he fired the nanny and forbade anyone in the house to mention it again. The matter of blaming was
eventually dropped
Liam said, “Regardless of who was negligent, the cause was because Krista came back, causing the nanny who was supposed to be looking after the child to leave Can Mrs. Janis forgive her?”
Just hearing these stories. Celeste felt a chill run down her spine
No wonder Liam said their relationship was just for show. The agony of losing a child, it’d be weird if Mason’s mom didn’t hold a grudge against Krista. Any mother would find it hard to forgive in such a situation.
Celeste let out a sigh and murmured, ‘Poor Mason. He was with his little brother at the time. I wonder if his parents blame him for not looking after his sibling. He was just over three, he must have been scared.”
Liam took a pause, turned her face towards him and asked in a low voice, “Are you feeling sorry for another man?”
Celeste snapped. Tm just expressing my feelings, okay? Don’t you know who I care about? Last night was a nightmare. Had it not been for your rash all over | would have walked out!”
Amused, Liam retorted, “You pretty much hogged the entire bed, while I, the patient, was squished into a comer.”
Celeste gritted her teeth and said, “If I come to take care of you again, I’d be outta my mind!”
Liam chuckled softly, handing her a document, “Here, the thing you’ve been asking for
Taking it, Celeste asked, “Is this the property transfer contract?
“It’s a contract for organ trade.”
Celeste was speechless
