Chapter 114 Sending the "Child" Back to the Williams Manor
Joseph knew Caspian's temperament well. On the surface, he respected his parents and elders and doted on his sister.
He was emotionally stable.
But Caspian's excessive perfection actually made Joseph feel uneasy. He had no desires and was actually cold-hearted to the core.
Only Gloria could make him seem like a normal person, finally giving him regular emotions.
Before, he stayed detached, only stepping in to help when Gloria needed him.
Now, his cruel side had emerged.
Sending the miscarried baby and bloody clothes back to the Williams Manor - what a perfect way to get revenge!
The hospital room door was tightly shut, with nurses inside cleaning her body and changing her clothes.
When the door opened, there was still a strong smell of blood in the room.
Caspian walked over to Gloria's bedside. Her face was deathly pale, heartbreaking to see.
"Feeling a bit better now?"
She nodded, her eyes red and puffy, her voice hoarse: "I can't continue with tomorrow's filming. What about Alphonse..."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. No need to worry."
"Caspian, our plan stays the same. I want to leave Silverlake Springs. I don't want to see that person again."
"Okay, but you just had a miscarriage and your body is very weak. You can't travel long distances. If we take a plane, he can easily track us. Taking a boat to that island takes a week, so we need to wait until you've recovered for one to two weeks before we leave, alright?"
His voice was magnetic and incredibly soothing. Gloria was becoming more and more dependent on him. She nodded, "I'll listen to you."
In this world, besides Vivienne, only he treated her well.
"Be good. You're very weak right now and need to build up your strength. Have some chicken soup first."
Gloria had just lost a child and was still immersed in grief. She didn't want to lose this child too.
Caspian sat by the hospital bed, and she ate whatever he fed her.
"It's a bit hot, drink slowly." Caspian blew on it before carefully bringing it to her lips.
Compared to the warmth in the hospital room, James was shut out. He didn't force his way in.
James returned to the Williams family. He had more important things to do - deal with that bitch Maria!
Joseph had already signed a confidentiality agreement with the production team. Alphonse was full of regret. Who knew Gloria was the real Mrs. Williams? And that Maria was a fake?
Given his relationship with Gloria, now that this had happened, he couldn't escape responsibility either.
Even though the show was already a hit, he didn't dare continue.
If both Caspian and James held him accountable, that wasn't something a small-time director like him could handle.
When James returned, the bloodstains by the pool had already been washed clean by the rain, as if nothing had happened.
But the paper with the baby's name in his pocket reminded him of what had occurred.
Mabel was anxiously pacing in the living room. As soon as she saw him, she rushed over, "The baby, how's the baby?"
But she met James's murderous gaze. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Wasn't the baby killed by your own hands? Mom, what exactly did Gloria do to wrong you? Why did you push her into the pool?"
Mabel's face turned white, "I..."
Just as she was about to explain, a man in black appeared at the door, carrying a black plastic bag.
"Mr. Rivers asked me to bring something for you two."
James immediately asked: "How is Gloria?"
The man ignored him, put down the items, and left.
Mabel seized the opportunity to change the subject and quickly opened the plastic bag. The striking bloody clothes and bloody tissue remains came into view.
A scream echoed through the villa.
