Chapter 351 Since when does a son give orders to his father?
Raymond was busy when Bradley knocked and came in.
Raymond looked up at Bradley and saw that he didn't show any signs of travel fatigue. Instead, he looked radiant and more energetic than when he was resting at home.
Raymond teased him. "Bradley, with your energy, I'd think you were in love."
Bradley frowned, "You rascal, always make fun of me."
Raymond rarely smiled, "Full of vigor, but don't forget your age. Take care of your heart. Also, keep your medication with you. Besides Sean, pick another person to accompany you."
Bradley didn't react at first, but soon he understood. "You want me to personally train a new butler for Paige to use?"
Raymond glanced at Bradley, "Not too old yet, your brain still works fast."
Bradley felt a bit touched.
Raymond was considering everything for Paige.
However, Bradley felt a bit of regret. Since learning about Paige's identity, he hadn't met her yet.
Bradley nodded, "Sean's youngest son is quick-witted and has excellent character. I've long considered him to take over Sean's position. Our family has been grooming him, and now that he's graduated from a world-class butler school, it's a good opportunity to have him by my side to get familiar with things. Once Paige returns home, he can immediately take over."
Raymond looked at Bradley affirmatively. There was no need to worry; Bradley had already prepared for these things.
Bradley noticed that Raymond seemed to be in a good mood.
So, he asked, "Francesca has already moved into a villa in the suburbs of Crist. She had a serious illness and has no one to take care of her."
Raymond's face darkened, and Bradley immediately stopped talking about it.
After a moment of silence in the study, Raymond spoke, "Have your doctor go check on her. She has her own servants and won't lack care. If there's anything else she needs, you handle it. If necessary, you can arrange a plane to bring Louis to see her."
This was the most Raymond could tolerate Francesca for now.
And it was because she was Paige's biological mother.
Otherwise, Raymond wouldn't have said these words.
Bradley sighed, "She refuses to rest. The people at the villa said she's trying every day to find Paige. Also..."
Bradley paused. Raymond sensed something, "What else?"
Bradley replied, "She contacted several doctors who are experts in performing abortions."
Raymond slammed the documents in his hand onto the desk.
Bradley held his breath.
He hadn't wanted to tell Raymond about this.
After all, if Raymond couldn't find Paige, how could Francesca?
So, even if Francesca made such preparations, they would be useless.
But hearing this, Raymond's anger flared up. "What does she want? Does she still want to kill my child?"
Raymond clenched his fists and strode out, "Get the doctor. I'm going to see her myself."
He hadn't wanted to confine her, thinking that not being able to see Paige was her punishment.
Raymond let her feel that punishment alone.
But he couldn't accept that she was secretly planning to kill his child.
Bradley took a deep breath and quickly said, "Don't get too worked up. I've already had people watching her every move. I'm afraid she'll make an irreversible mistake without knowing. It might be better to let her know a bit about our relationship. No need to be too clear, just let Francesca know that you and me are not truly father and son! That way, Francesca won't think that you and Paige are blood-related and want to abort Paige's baby. That child has a legitimate and rightful place in this world!"
Raymond took a deep breath to calm his anger. "Fine, you go. Handle it yourself and warn her, that's my child!"
Bradley nodded, "Yes, I'll go see her myself."
The next day, Bradley's car stopped at Francesca's villa.
The driver opened the car door, and Bradley got out, entering the villa with the butler's help.
Francesca had received Bradley's call in advance and had dressed up a bit.
When Bradley entered, she came to greet him.
But Bradley was still surprised when he saw her.
In a short time, Francesca had lost a lot of weight. She hadn't had time to change her clothes, and what used to fit her well now hung loosely on her.
Her complexion had lost its usual rosy glow, and she looked like she had shed a layer of skin.
Bradley was suddenly moved, almost forgiving her for replacing Paige.
"How did you lose so much weight? How are all these people taking care of you?" Bradley scolded the servants, and they didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Francesca forced a smile. "It's my own fault. I didn't take care of myself after coming here, and it got worse."
Even the makeup on her face couldn't hide her exhaustion.
Bradley had a lot of reproachful words, but he couldn't say them.
Gregory passed away early, and Francesca stayed with the Carnegie family, always being dutiful.
Francesca's actions were impeccable and perfect.
Whenever Bradley was unwell, Francesca would personally take care of him.
With Gregory gone, Francesca took on all the responsibilities. So Bradley felt her sincere filial piety.
After sitting down, Bradley said, "I brought a doctor. No matter what, you need to take care of your health. You should have heard by now that Raymond has handed the group over to Louis. He also ordered that if you can't take care of yourself, Louis will come to take care of you."
Francesca immediately caught onto Bradley's words. "Ordered?"
What son ordered his father?
Bradley nodded, "Yes, ordered! He also ordered that his child will come into this world with a legitimate status."
Francesca suddenly grabbed Bradley's hand, "Bradley, what do you mean by that? Can Raymond and Paige's child have a legitimate status? Is he really not going to let Paige go? Or is there something you're hiding from me?"
