Chapter 185 Agree with Sam's Suggestion
Throughout the day, Sophia didn't see Gabriel.
Given her understanding of Gabriel, if he suspected or knew about the existence of Ethan and Emma, he would definitely rush to the kindergarten to pick up the children immediately.
However, there was no movement from Gabriel up to this point, which was not in line with his decisive style.
Perhaps, the person who went to the hospital to investigate was not one of Gabriel’s?
Could it be someone else?
Could it be Tiffany?
What would be her motive?
As Gabriel's girlfriend and the future Mrs. Lancaster, Tiffany definitely wouldn't want Gabriel to have two more children. She probably wished that Gabriel didn't know about the existence of Ethan and Emma.
If it wasn't Tiffany, then who could it be?
Sophia racked her brains but couldn't figure out that it was Madam Lancaster who was investigating, and Madam Lancaster still didn't know that she was alive.
Madam Lancaster sat on the sofa drinking coffee. Now that she thought about it, the arrival of Ethan and Emma was suspicious in many ways.
For example, every time they came, they seemed hurried.
When asked to spend the night, they would always find various reasons to refuse and wouldn't let her call their parents.
When asked about their parents, the children would always dodge the question and even seemed resentful when talking about their father.
She wanted to find out everything as soon as possible, but Simon's progress was too slow, and he couldn’t find any more clues. So, she wanted to see the children again and try to get information from them.
It wasn't easy to get the two little darlings to visit the Lancaster family, but Madam Lancaster had her ways.
In the morning, before Sam left, Madam Lancaster appeared looking sick. Sam looked at her from the doorway and gestured to Betty.
"Great-grandma doesn't look well. Grandma Betty, please find a doctor for Great-grandma."
Betty smiled, "Alright, Sam, don't worry. I'll take good care of Madam."
Sam left for kindergarten with a worried look, and as soon as he arrived, he told Ethan and Emma about their great-grandma's condition.
"Great-grandma is sick again?"
Sam thought for a moment, then told them, "Grandma Betty said that ever since my mommy left, Great-grandma's health hasn't been good. As far as I can remember, Great-grandma has been rushed to the hospital several times."
Sam was really worried about Great-grandma. He knew that she was very old and would leave him and Daddy sooner or later, but he still wished that Great-grandma could live a long life without suffering from illness.
Ethan and Emma were also very concerned. Great-grandma was not in good health, and even as descendants of the Lancaster family, they couldn't be with Great-grandma every day. Great-grandma was really pitiful.
In such a big house, she remained alone during the day, and it was so cold and quiet.
The servants wouldn't play with Great-grandma or make her happy.
Ethan and Emma were silent. They also wanted to be with Great-grandma every day, but... Ethan and Emma lowered their heads, feeling powerless.
They didn't want to lose Mommy even more.
"You guys go see Great-grandma today. Great-grandma said last night that she misses you. I'll ask Alex to delay Daddy and make him come home late," Sam had a bright idea and looked at Ethan and Emma expectantly.
Ethan and Emma looked at each other and finally agreed to Sam's suggestion.
Caroline left the kindergarten after finishing her class. She didn't have many classes and didn't need to come to kindergarten every day, but since Sophia's three children were here, she came every day to play with the children.
She really loved children. If her own child hadn't died, she would be in kindergarten now, or maybe in elementary school if she started school early.
Thinking about this, Caroline's heart ached again.
She didn't want to see Josie for the time being, for fear that she couldn't help but hurt a child.
No wonder she found Josie familiar when she first saw her. It was because she looked a lot like Nicholas.
Today, when she got home from school, Josie finally saw her father.
Her father had been away on business for a long time.
"Josie, come here." Nicholas sat in his wheelchair, and when he saw his daughter, his icy and handsome face softened slightly as he tenderly waved at his daughter.
Josie walked over and stood obediently in front of Nicholas, with her head lowered, not daring to look at her father.
"See if you like it." Nicholas handed a gift to his daughter.
Every time he came back from a business trip, he would bring a gift for his daughter.
The gifts were always different.
This time, it was a violin music box. Upon seeing the violin, Josie's heart leaped with joy, and she even bravely looked up at her father.
Nicholas clearly saw the happiness in his daughter's eyes. His cold heart seemed to be warmed by a ray of sunshine. It seemed that he had chosen the right gift this time.
Previously, whenever he gave his daughter a gift, she would say she liked it, but he never saw much joy in her.
Did her father give her a violin music box because he knew she liked the violin?
Josie was about to tell her father that she wanted to learn to play the violin, but as soon as she said the word "Dad," Daisy's voice suddenly came over.
"Nicholas, you're finally back." Daisy walked over excitedly, subtly pushing Josie to the side before fussing over Nicholas.
"Nicholas, have you been eating on time? The weather's gotten colder, is your leg hurting?"
The noise was too annoying. Nicholas furrowed his brow, his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair tightened, and he gave Daisy a cold look. Daisy immediately fell silent.
His gaze was truly intimidating. Just one look made her feel as if her entire body was freezing.
Over the years, Nicholas had become more and more reticent, colder and colder. There was no warmth to be seen in him, but that didn't stop her from wanting to become his wife.
Although they hadn't held a wedding or registered their marriage, the whole world already knew that she was Nicholas' woman, Josie's mother!
"Nicholas, while you were away, Josie caused some trouble at the kindergarten." Daisy wouldn't miss the chance to speak ill of Josie.
He wanted her to see how annoying she was!
Nicholas finally spoke to her, asking, "What happened?"
Daisy spilled the beans, but she didn't tell the story from Josie's perspective. Instead, she followed Alva's mother's train of thought and subtly shifted all the blame onto Josie.
Josie had long gotten used to her mother using her to please her father. She stood to the side with her head hanging low, not daring to make a sound.
"But I heard that the child named Alva is quite domineering at the kindergarten, and his mother is very difficult. She scolded me for a long time; it was really harsh. I'm worried that Josie will be bullied in the future, so I gave them a compensation of one hundred thousand dollars."
Daisy was seeking credit. Trying to make him understand that she was scolded so badly for Josie's sake.
