Andrew didn't know why. When he heard the word "child", he was actually eager to find Evelyn.
Originally, he wanted to find her after he was done, but he had not come back for a long time and he
had encountered Kevin's death. Jessica was not in good health now. If he goes out again because of
personal issue and doesn't accompany his family at this time, he would look too selfish.
Joshua was in charge of everything at home in the first place. He was supposed to conduct his filial
duty for his parents, but he was not around them. As the eldest son, he felt ashamed.
Jessica brought him up. Now she was in poor health, and she might die one day. He can't be so selfish
to leave now.
With the consent of her family, Amanda had agreed to go back to Thailand with Joan. However, just
before getting on the plane, she received a phone call.
Casimir called.
"My mom is ill. Maybe she doesn't have much time. Before she dies, I want him to come over."
Amanda stood in the airport hall, holding the phone and was stunned. "Your mother, she..."
"She has advanced cancer and is under treatment, but the result is not good. The doctor issued an
ultimatum. I know he has his own life, I don't want to disturb him. I just want him to know...my
existence."
Amanda said, "I get it. Send me the address and I'll go with him."
"Will he come with you?"
"I’ll come out with something to let him go."
"Good."
The two ended the call and Casimir sent her an address.
"Flight D360 to Bangkok is about to take off. Please get ready for boarding."
"Let's go," said Joan.
Amanda looked at him with regret. "I may not be able to go back to Thailand with you. I have
something urgent to deal with."
Joan looked at her for several seconds and finally said, "OK, I'll take you back."
In fact, he was worried that Amanda would change her mind at this time, regret going back to Thailand
with him.
But he didn't ask.
Even if she repented, he wouldn't resent her.
After all, she had the right to choose.
"No, thanks, I'll accompany you to the departure gate. When I finish my work, I'll find you." Amanda
smiled.
Joan couldn’t conceal the joy on his face. "Really? Will you come to me?"
"Of course, I've promised you," she explained. "There’s a friend of mine, his mother is very ill. I have to
go to see her, that’s why I have to postpone it, please don’t overthink it."
Joan hugged her. "I'll wait for you."
"All right, hurry up and get on the plane."
Amanda watched him walk past the boarding gate. Joan turned back and waved at her.
She waved back at him too.
Joan disappeared. She took out her mobile phone and made a phone call as she walked out.
But Abbott didn’t pick up the call.
She had to go home and ask Matthew for help.
"What are you talking about?" Armand heard Amanda's words and asked incredulously, "Abbott has an
illegitimate son?"
Matthew was not surprised and he gave her a number.
Abbott had two mobile phone numbers.
It was just that only a few people knew about the other phone number.
The call was picked up when Amanda dialled it.
"Abbott..." she went aside to talk on the phone.
Here, Armand became exhilarated for gossips. "Is it true that Abbott has an illegitimate child? Why
didn't I know about that at all?"
Matthew glimpsed at him and said, "There are way many things you don't know."
"..."
"I'm not curious about the illegitimate child though, I'm curious about who the child’s mother is."
Armand sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect that Abbott was that reckless when
he was young that he even has an illegitimate child."
