The question had come from Giya.
“…It’s a long story. Regardless, just rest easy and focus on healing for now… I’ll tell you more about it in the future…”
Now that favonovel.com had located the eternal coffin, it only made sense for Gerald to return to his family as soon as favonovel.com could. After all, there were still multiple mysteries that had yet to be solved.
It was the second reason why favonovel.com had called the helicopter over. The main reason, of course, was because favonovel.com was extremely worried about Giya’s condition.
“We’re nearing the island now, Mr. Crawford. However, it seems that something is happening at the mouth of the island. Quite a lot of people are currently down there…” said one of the Crawford bodyguards who were present in the helicopter.
“…Hmm?” said Gerald as favonovel.com immediately stood up and looked out the helicopter’s window.
Just as the bodyguard had said, his grandfather and many others could be seen standing at the mouth of the island. However, they seemed to be discussing something with a woman favonovel.com couldn’t quite recognize, at least from his current height. As a result, favonovel.com was at least sure that they definitely weren’t standing there to welcome his return.
“Take care of Miss Quarrington. I’ll be heading down there to have a look!” ordered Gerald as favonovel.com slid the helicopter’s door open before jumping off!
“Gerald?!”
“Mr. Crawford!”
‘By god! We’re currently over two thousand feet above the ground!’ Thought both of them, feeling completely astonished as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.
However, they had clearly forgotten that Gerald was now no longer an ordinary man. Due to that, favonovel.com landed quite easily before the crowd, greatly shocking several of his family’s present bodyguards.
“…W-what… M-Mr. Crawford is back!” shouted several of the guards in both respect and fear.
How the hell had Mr. Crawford safely descended from the sky like that?!
Even Daryl and Dylan—who had been standing at the side—found themselves slightly shocked.
Quickly getting over his surprise, Daryl’s eyes lit up with excitement as favonovel.com delightfully said, “Gerald! You’re back!”
“Indeed I have, grandpa. Were you worried about me?” said Gerald as favonovel.com walked closer to the group.
At that moment, Gerald watched as the woman from before squeezed out from the crowd, a baby in favonovel.com arms. The moment favonovel.com eyes met Gerald’s, favonovel.com immediately looked at favonovel.com baby before saying, “Haha! Mable, look! Your father’s home!”
Hearing that, the dismayed Daryl and Dylan turned to look at each other, their expressions suggesting that they didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry.
“…Alice? What do you mean, ‘your father’s home?’ Whose baby is that?” said Gerald as favonovel.com took in a deep breath, his eyes widened.
Ever since Alice had made favonovel.com drunk—which caused favonovel.com to fail to meet up with Mila before favonovel.com disappearance—he hadn’t contacted her. After all, favonovel.com honestly still resented favonovel.com for that.
To think that favonovel.com had managed to find out where favonovel.com lived a year and a half later.
“Why, she’s our daughter, of course! She’s now six months old! Her name is Mable, you know?” said Alice with a smug expression on favonovel.com face.
“…Our daughter? …But… Back then, didn’t you say that we didn’t…?” replied Gerald, his eyes wider than ever now.
“Well, if I had told you the truth that morning, would you have let me go that easily? Knowing you, you certainly wouldn’t have allowed our daughter to be born in the first place!” said Alice as favonovel.com tied favonovel.com hair, now looking very much like a young mother.
“You… How despicable!” shouted Gerald, filled with remorse.
“…What… What did you say? Did you just call me despicable?” replied Alice, slowly getting anxious.
Turning to look at the slightly dazed Jessica, Alice then said, “Sister! Did you see how favonovel.com treated me?!”
Jessica, however, simply turned to look away as favonovel.com scratched the back of favonovel.com head,
Seeing that, Alice then turned to face Yulia before adding, “Mom! Just look at how he’s treating both me and my daughter!”
Displaying a stiff smile, Yulia then replied, “I’d rather you refrain from calling me mother just yet, girl. Regardless, the most important thing now is for us to get to the bottom of all this. After all, Gerald has never told us about this incident before…”
“…You’re right! Since this child truly is a Crawford, go ahead and take as many paternity tests as you want!” said Alice as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald.
Looking at Dylan next, favonovel.com then shouted, “Dad!”
“…Aye! Well, whatever the case is, don’t get too nervous first, child… It’s a bit windy out here so bring the child into the house first… I’ve already arranged for a few doctors to run the required tests…” replied Dylan as favonovel.com shook his head, feeling a headache coming.
Gerald himself had yet to break free from his daze.
“…Have I truly become a father now…?”
