Chapter 385 Persuading Him
Her watery eyes glistened with a hateful glare. "You never believe me, always trusting Darcy. Do you know that she has already cast a spell on our children? I didn't want to tell you that our other son is still alive because you don't deserve to know! That's why, after being kidnapped, I didn't mention Oscar's situation in the police report. It allowed Darcy to clear herself of suspicion and continue to have a deep connection with you." With resentment tightening her jaw, Winnie's hand trembled against her chest, her breaths quickening and faltering.Winnie's teeth were clenched with resentment as she placed a pale hand on her chest, her breathing becoming rapid and erratic. Meanwhile, Lawrence, upon hearing her rapid-fire words, stood stunned for a while, his gaze transforming into myriad emotions. His heart swelled with joy but was also gripped by the grasp of Winnie's hand, throbbing with pain and suspicion. He shook his head vaguely, his hoarse voice low and husky. "It's impossible. Our other son, his remains were found underwater six months later. I retrieved him, gave him a proper burial at the cemetery, and named him Zack. Zack and Sidney, the twins I anticipated so eagerly, yet you ruthlessly took one away, and I have resented you for it for three years, Winnie..." His deep voice trembled slightly, cold as frost but filled with longing as he tightly grasped her shoulders. "If you dare deceive or play with me, I will tear you to pieces!" "I have no reason to deceive you. Oscar is truly alive!" Winnie could see the profound sadness in his eyes too. In this moment, he was vulnerable. Her heart skipped a beat, softening for a second as she unlocked her phone's photo album and brought Sidney closer to explain. "See for yourself, the photos of Oscar growing up with me overseas. He looks exactly like Sidney. At first, I was also fooled by them, not just you." Recalling the past, Winnie smiled helplessly. She pointed at Oscar's clothes for him to see. "Oscar is gentle and mischievous. He likes to wear loose sportswear, whereas Sidney, who you've been with, is cold and always wears a little suit. That's their biggest difference. But when they pretended to be each other, no one could tell who was who. Those two little guys had switched places at the charity banquet and fooled us." OMG! Lawrence carefully observed the little suit Sidney was wearing, noticing a mischievous aura emanating from him over the past few days. He displayed a range of behaviors, sometimes lively and sometimes cold.Lawrence carefully observed the little suit Sidney was wearing now, and in these past few days, Sidney did indeed exhibit a mischievous feel. Sometimes lively, sometimes cold. At first, he thought it was strange and had suspected as well. But the two children really looked exactly the same, both naive and adorable. It was too difficult to distinguish them.
""So, in the end, when you discovered them, you agreed to their switching and all three of you came to deceive me?" Lawrence thought of the recent times he had been to the apartment, especially the most recent, where Oscar was the one who came out of the door. The man's sharp gaze shot towardstoward Winnie. Winnie felt a twinge of discomfort but didn't deny it. After all, he had it coming. She pocketed her phone, bringing her focus back to the moment. With a cold stare and a voice trembling with emotion, she spoke up, "I've laid everything out. Now it's your turn to make a decision.Winnie felt a bit awkward, not denying it. He deserved to be played. She put away her phone, her thoughts returning to the present, and with a cold gaze and a trembling voice due to emotions, she said, "I've said so much, and now it's your turn to decide."
" Bear in mind that I had to let you know about the existence of another son. .. It's not something I actually wanted to tell you.! Lawrence, you must have figured it out by now. Today, Oscar posed as Sidney in the hospital room, wanting to use a cell phone to video call me and show your mother who is sick. "Indeed, I let him bring in the phone. But as soon as he entered, before he could connect with me, he must have accidentally encountered Darcy, the one who harmed your mother, inside the room.! A reasonable explanation would be: Darcy and Oscar had a fight, causing the cart in the room to topple. But Oscar is just a young child. Although he knows some fighting moves, he couldn't possibly match up against Darcy." She then shared her speculation, saying, "Just now, I carefully observed the room. Why did the surveillance footage only capture your mother walking out alone, without any trace of Darcy and Oscar? It's because..." Winnie trailed off, elongating her words, and swiftly entered the hospital room. Her sharp gaze locked onto the window that opened vertically. "Lawrence, come in!" The man furrowed his brows and walked inside. "I speculate that Darcy escaped with Oscar by jumping out from here. She must have threatened your mother and Oscar's life, forcing Mmadam Rodriguez to leave from outside. Given Madam Rodriguez's physical condition, if she jumped, Since madam Rodriguez jumped, considering her physical condition, she would have died on the spot. Darcy couldn't let her die in the hospital, so she achieved her goal.!" Winnie finished in one breath, waiting for the man's gears to turn. Lawrence also stood by the window of the hospital room, looking downwards. The two-story height still posed a danger. If Oscar really existed and that small child jumped down... his heart clenched in unease.
His large hand fists tightened in a ball, and he turned his head to see the bloodstains on the hospital bed... Suddenly, he recalled the conversation he had with his mother in the morning. His mother wanted to see her grandson and made a gesture of "two" with her fingers. At the time, he didn't think much and simply told his mother that there was only one grandson. The expression on his mother's face had been one of confusion. Lawrence's eyes widened in astonishment. Perhaps his mother had already regained her hearing in the villa. If Winnie's words were to be believed, and his sons had indeed swapped places, then his mother would know that she had two grandsons... His heart beat with a mixture of warmth and bitterness, and tears welled up in his deep-set eyes. He had been so foolish, not realizing that even his mother knew about his two sons and that was's why she had been so happy that morning. Only he didn't know, and he had been deceived by Winnie. The man's gaze turned cold, filled with a complex mix of resentment. He gave Winnie a deep look, and her speculation seemed even more plausible now. In order to protect Oscar, his mother could only be forced to run away and willingly be taken hostage. Seeing that he had nothing to say, Winnie concealed her fluctuating emotions beneath the depths of her intense gaze. Her own mood must be swirlingswirled between heaven and earth. She sighed and said, "Lawrence, do you still not believe that Darcy kidnapped your mother and Oscar?" "Dad, Oscar truly exists. You have to-" Sidney interjected. "Do not doubt Mmommy anymore! OscarHe and I play together almost every day quietly. He's a particularly adorable boy, different from me. He's smarter than me, crafty, and very caring. These past three years, I think Mmommy has been very happy living with him. He's Mmommy's little sunshine. We can't lose him, he's my little brother..." Sidney cried, tightly squeezing Lawrence's hand. At this moment, the usually cold-hearted child's heart was breaking. Lawrence was stunned by the gravity of Sidney's words. Sidney had confirmed it himself: his other son was indeed alive. For three years, he had been living with Winnie, who had given birth to two lively sons. In that moment, pain surged through Lawrence's heart, twisting and pulsating. His lips pressed together tightly.Lawrence was stunned by the weight of Sidney's words. Sidney didn't lie, he said so himself. His other son was one hundred percent alive! He had been living with Winnie for three years, and she gave him two lively sons. In that moment, pain coursed through the man's heart, tangled and throbbing. His lips tightened. Winnie's eyes were moist with tears as well. She let out a sigh and asked Luke for the hospital room surveillance footage. Her sharp gaze turned icy. "You didn't give me a chance earlier. This is the surveillance of Darcy's room. She was wearing a red dress and appeared on the footage in the morning. She hasn't come out since one o'clock. Do you think she's not suspicious? No, the surveillance only captured her legs at the entrance of the room. So, is it possible that the nurse wearing a mask at two-thirty is her disguise, while the person in the red dress in the room is someone else?" Lawrence's gaze slightly chilled. Winnie pointed to Mmadam Rodriguez's room, squinting. "Darcy must have disguised herself as a nurse to enter this room and change the medicine. Lawrence, there's a twenty-minute gap in the surveillance footage on the third floor. If we could see it, we would definitely find a suspicious nurse entering. She should have intended to poison Mmadam Rodriguez, but Oscar came in later and caught her. After being exposed, they had no choice but to take both of them!" Lawrence remained silent, radiating a terrifying and oppressive aura. Winnie pushed him and urged, "If you have any doubts, don't waste time. Hurry, go to the hospital and intercept Darcy! Let's quickly find all the surveillance footage of the hospital's exits, to trace the whereabouts of Oscar and the old lady!your mother." Being pushed, Lawrence snapped back to reality, a cold voice bursting from his throat. "Luke, send someone to the hospital to look for Darcy. If they find her, detain her immediately." After retrieving the surveillance footage, Luke had stationed someone at the hospital. He made a call immediately. Approximately five minutes later, Luke received a troubling response. "Lawrence, it's bad news. Darcy is no longer at the hospital."When Luke retrieved the surveillance footage, he had left someone at the hospital. He made a phone call now. About five minutes later, Luke received a reply, "Lawrence, it's not good. Darcy is no longer at the hospital..." Lawrence emanated a chilling aura. Winnie closed her eyes and tauntingly said, "I anticipated this outcome. When I persuaded you to entertain my suspicions and question Darcy, she had likely already gone to confront Oscar. Lawrence, if anything happens to him, I won't forgive you!"
Her words dripped with deep-seated resentment and hatred."I knew this would be the result. When I convinced you to believe my suspicions and doubt Darcy, she had already gone to deal with Oscar and... Lawrence, if anything happens to Oscar, I won't forgive you!" She resented with a deep hatred.
