  • I Became a Father   Chapter 11

    There were also transfer records between Kenneth and Howard, and a report on falsified clinical data for the special medication used to treat Fabry disease.To get the drug he distributed exclusively approved and launched quickly, Kenneth had bribed the evaluation agency and altered the adverse reaction and side effect rates.Sandy had unfortunately become a real case of those adverse reactions.Lindsay closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were full of murderous fury. She dialed a number and said only one sentence. "Dad, call a family meeting. Now."-The Davies family estate was brightly lit.All of the Davies family's core members were seated at the conference table made from redwood. Kenneth sat to the left of the main seat, looking cultured and mild.Once the meeting began, Kenneth asked, "Lindsay, it's getting late. What is so important that everyone needs to be here at this time?"Lindsay did not speak. The lawyer behind her placed a tablet in the center of t

    With every sentence I finished, Jessica's body would tremble.I continued. "You're right. If my father knew from beyond the grave, he really would not forgive me. He wouldn't forgive me for being fooled by a woman like you for thirty years."After that, I turned to hospital security and said, "Send her to the police station. Tell the police there is a fraud accomplice here wanting to turn herself in."The crowd opened a path for them.I walked back into the room, with Jessie breaking down and cursing behind me.Lindsay stood by the window, looking at me with an unreadable expression."You handled that cleanly," she said."I just don't want her to have another chance to appear in front of Sandy," I said as I sat down on the couch, suddenly feeling exhausted. Ending a thirty-year bond took more out of me than signing a contract worth millions.Just then, Lindsay's phone rang. It was Williams, and she put it on speaker. "Ms. Davies, Mr. Evans. There's a new development." The law

    I shuddered as I listened to Lindsay's words to her lawyer, Williams."We can argue that taking money that's meant to fund Sandy's medical bills with the full knowledge that she might die without it is attempted murder." She hung up and looked at me. "I want him to spend the rest of his life in prison."Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open. "Zephyr! You animal! Where did you take Lex?"Jessie rushed in, her hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot. Hospital security followed behind her but could not stop her. "Ma'am, this is the VIP ward! You can't force your way in..."Jessie shoved the guard away and rushed straight at me, raising her hand to slap me. I turned aside to avoid it and grabbed her hand. "Let go of me! You ingrate! You want to kill your own cousin for an outsider and an illegitimate child?!"At the bedroom's doorway, Sandy trembled from the shouting as her face turned pale.I tightened my grip on Jessie's hand. "Firstly, this is a hospital. Keep your voice down.

    I did not look back.If my dad knew about all of this from the afterlife, he would hate himself for not realizing sooner what predators he had sacrificed his life protecting.The room finally fell quiet.The doctor took the payment receipt and nodded. "I'll arrange the medication right away."Meanwhile, Lindsay's lawyer and personal staff left the room, leaving the space to us. Only Lindsay, me, and the helpless little girl at the bedroom door remained in the living room. I did not know how to face my supposed daughter. Lindsay also did not know how to define this 'ex-husband' who had suddenly appeared.Just then, Sandy stepped out from behind the door. She walked up to me, raised her face, and handed me something. It was a strawberry candy in a wrapper. "For you. Candy makes bitter things go away."I froze.I lowered my head and looked into her clear eyes.The uneasy chill from hearing her call me "Daddy" at the police station softened into something warm. I crouched down and

    Lindsay was silent for a moment before saying, "My father appreciated your so-called clean family background and high education. He thought you had good genes and were suitable to marry into the family."She continued, "At the time, I was overseas handling an acquisition and didn't have time to come back. I didn't attend the wedding, and the registration was handled by my father and his assistant. I only saw you once through video back then and didn't pay much attention."I understood then. In their world, marriage was probably similar to restructuring. Who the groom was and what he looked like might matter less than a beautiful resume.Meanwhile, Lex had used my resume to his advantage."After Sandy was born, I discovered he was addicted to gambling and ignored our daughter, so I divorced him. I thought spending five million dollars could buy out a marriage that was clearly a mistake and give Sandy some security. I did not expect Lex to be someone who could never be satisfied."T

    Lindsay's lawyer took the phone and quickly flipped through it.Lindsay looked at me and asked, "What do you think about Sandy?"I was silent for two seconds. I remembered the little girl at the police station who had timidly called me 'Daddy'. I raised my head and met Lindsay's eyes. "Her household registry lists me as her father. Until our legal relationship is annulled, I'm her only guardian. So, I'll take responsibility."For the first time, Lindsay looked at me differently. "Take responsibility? Do you know what that means? Fabry disease costs more than a million dollars a year to treat.""I know," I answered quickly. "Lex has to return every cent. Her treatment can't be delayed for even a day."Lindsay said nothing as she only watched me quietly.After a long while, she gave a slight nod. "My legal team will assist you with all legal issues, including voiding the marriage registration, recovering the money, and filing the lawsuits themselves."She was decisive and came up
