Chapter 203 Photo's Source
It didn't take long for Ophe to see Finnegan's car.
Finnegan also noticed Ophe by the roadside and stopped the car, opening the door.
Ophe got in and asked, "Did Grandma call and ask me to go?
Finnegan touched her belly. "You're not going empty-handed. How do you feel today?"
"I can eat and sleep well," Ophe said. "I have no pregnancy symptoms at all. Did you tell them about my pregnancy?"
"No." Finnegan started the car and said, "We're family, no need to be so polite."
Ophe asked, "Is your mom at home?"
"Yeah, she should be," Finnegan knew what she was worried about and held her hand. "I'm here."
Ophe was actually worried that things would turn unpleasant later.
Finnegan changed the subject. "Did you come to see Magnus?"
Magnus worked nearby, so Finnegan naturally guessed that Ophe had come to see him.
Ophe was originally hesitant about whether to tell Magnus. She wanted Finnegan's help analyzing the situation, so she said, "I told you before that Magnus found his biological parents, right? I did some inquiries, and it turns out Magnus wasn't kidnapped; his parents sold him. Do you think I should tell him the truth? I just saw him earlier, and he seemed fine. I can't bear to tell him."
Ophe was so sincere that made Finnegan relieved.
"What's the situation with his parents now?" Finnegan really helped analyze.
Ophe roughly explained the situation and said, "Now the whole family is like vampires, sucking onto Magnus. His paralyzed older brother relies on him, his elderly parents rely on him, and even his five-year-old niece relies on him. He's a single guy who promised to adopt his niece. How will he find a wife in the future? This whole bunch, five mouths, and he's the only one earning money."
Ophe kept speaking about Magnus, but he seemed to enjoy it.
Finnegan said, "The burden on him is indeed a bit heavy. He should let his parents go back to their hometown. They have been living there for decades and are more familiar and comfortable there. Magnus can provide them with a monthly allowance, and the children can also go back to their hometown for school. This way, it can alleviate a lot of burden."
"I also advised him like that before, but it seems his parents don't want to go back to their hometown. And his niece is also going to school here, so it's even less likely for them to go back." Ophe sighed. "They are stubborn about this. Magnus donated blood and delivered food to make money. He exhausted himself and ended up in the hospital."
Upon hearing about the hospital, Finnegan thought about the photo. The background of the photo was taken inside a hospital.
Finnegan asked indirectly, "Did you visit him when he was in the hospital?"
"Well, the doctor called me, and that's when I found out." Ophe looked at Finnegan, a bit conflicted. "Should I tell him?"
"If his parents treat him badly, he will feel it and make his own choices. He chose to satisfy them unconditionally because it's within his capacity." Finnegan analyzed. "Magnus is an orphan and has been lacking love for many years. He longs for a warm family, so let him try it himself. Whether it's good or bad, he knows best."
Ophe considered it reasonable. "Currently, Magnus is enthusiastic and feels happy. Maybe his parents have changed, and even though it's unfair to Magnus, as you said, once he experiences it himself, he will know if it's good or bad."
Finnegan reminded. "Money is the greatest test of human nature."
Ophe suddenly realized something. "If Magnus earns more and can afford to support the whole family, then his parents will feel more justified in relying on him. From now on, I won't give Magnus money anymore. He owes me money, and I'll keep it. When he is in a difficult situation, I'll help him then."
Finnegan casually asked, "On the day Magnus went to the hospital, were you the only one who visited him?"
"No." Ophe said, "Seraphina also went."
Upon hearing Seraphina's name, Finnegan immediately guessed the source of the photo.
"Do you have any contact with Seraphina?" Finnegan asked.
