Chapter 92 Stabbing Her Heart With a Knife

Ruby smiled as she handed the baby over to him. "He is very well-behaved today, hardly cried at all. Look at this little heartbreaker, he smiles when he sees you."

The child grinned his toothless mouth and made a sound of babbling. He laughed as he looked at Johnson.

Despite this, Johnson's smile on his face remained unchanged. His smile, almost like a mask, didn't waver even in the presence of his son.

Observing the harmonious family scene of three, Lilian couldn't help but subconsciously place her hand on her abdomen. Each time, it reminded her of the profound emptiness she felt inside.

She yearned to keep that child, escaping from Francis and those two ruffians' contact. She endured any hardship for it.

Yet, she couldn't escape from the contact of the members of the Francis family.

Ruby didn't miss the opportunity to stab her heart with a knife, "Ms. Rossum, you're still young. There will be more children in your future."

Lilian looked at Ruby, whose smile was filled with mockery and scorn.

Lilian raised the corners of her mouth slightly without responding to Ruby and walked over to the sofa to pour herself a glass of water.

Seeing her this way, Ruby suddenly felt an inexplicable anger rising within her heart. She stood up abruptly, "Johnson, watch Bennie for me. I will go to the restroom."

"Alright, go ahead,"

Johnson hugged Bennie and sorted out the blanket on his body for him. Lilian drank water next to him, and the living room was eerily quiet.

Fortunately, the sound of babbling in the child's mouth made the atmosphere in the living room less awkward.

Johnson suddenly turned to look at Lilian.

Lilian felt Johnson's gaze and also turned her head. Their eyes met briefly.

Lilian quickly averted her gaze, lowering her head to sip the water.

"Ms. Rossum, where's my elder brother?" Johnson broke the silence and said.

Lilian paused and then turned to look at him, shaking her head to indicate she didn't know.

Johnson said, "He didn't go to the company today. I thought he might be with you."

Lilian lowered her eyes. When did he ever not go to the company to be with her?

Only Julian had this special case and could make him break that routine.

Yesterday, Francis must have spent it with Julian on New Year's Day.

Thinking of this, Lilian took out her phone and opened her Moments.

She wanted to know where Francis was. She only needed to open Julian's Moments, and Julian's Moments was Francis's humanoid locator.

Unexpectedly, Julian hadn't updated her Moments at all yesterday.

Lilian initially thought it hadn't refreshed properly and tried several times. But there were indeed no updates Moments, with the most recent one being from a few days ago.

She also opened Twitter, but the result was the same -- no posts.

Johnson seemed like he wanted to say something. Then his phone rang. It was a call from Francis.

He hesitated for a moment and put the child back in the stroller. He picked up his phone to answer the call.

"Hello, Elder Brother?"

"Now? Alright, I know."

Lilian subconsciously turned her head to look at him. She noticed that Johnson's expression became serious. She also began to feel anxious.

After Johnson hung up the phone, he pushed the stroller to Lilian's side, "Ms. Rossum, please help take a look, I'll go out." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Lilian was stunned, looking down at the baby.

The baby was fair and tender with round, black eyes and chubby cheeks. Every movement he made exuded vitality and liveliness.

Lilian shifted her gaze away. She didn't want to look at the child any longer.

Every time she saw the child, he reminded her of the horrifying image of her child turning into a mass of dead flesh.

Without a word, Johnson gently moved the stroller a little farther away, "I've placed Bennie here. Just keep an eye on him."

At that moment, Ruby walked out.

What she saw was Johnson handing her baby over to Lilian to look after.
