Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Shocking Conjecture

"I like Andres. There is no special reason. Don't think too much," Cecelia simply explained.

Remington did not believe her words because he thought it was hard for a woman to accept another woman's kid so easily.

But if...

When thinking of a possibility, he was taken aback.

Maybe Cecelia was Andres's biological mother? Since she had come to the Nelson family, she had desperately protected Andres many times and even offended the Quinsey family for him. Only a mother would be so selfless! This was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

Remington continued pondering. If Cecelia was Andres's mother, he would be Lilian five years ago, right? Was Cecelia the woman he was looking for?

After he had this conjecture, his heart violently throbbed. After all, it was too shocking.

Were Cecelia and Lilian the same person?

To verify the guess, he asked, "Cecelia, tell me the truth! Are you Andres's biological mother? Are you Lilian?"

After he asked the question, his heart was racing. And he even had difficulty breathing. He wanted to hear her confess.

Cecelia had not expected him to guess it, but she didn't want to tell him the truth.

"Lilian? I don't know what you're talking about. I told you it is because I like Andres. You're overthinking!"

She had denied she was Lilian and sounded as if she had never heard of this name before. So, he suspected he had thought too much and guessed wrong.

After hearing her answer, he felt a wave of disappointment. He had looked for Lilian for many years but still did not where she was.

All the clues he had gotten turned out to be fake. Disappointment had repeatedly hurt him as if needles stinging his heart.

"Forget it! You can pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, thank you for treating my son well! I will give you a handsome reward when we divorce."

Hearing this, Cecelia didn't reply.

Maximus woke up in the middle of the night. After opening his eyes, he saw his mother hunching over the bed and his father sitting in the wheelchair. The latter had also fallen asleep, so the ward was quiet.

Maximus's IV bottle had been emptied, and he wanted to pee. He didn't want to wake up Cecelia, so he climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom by himself.

But Cecelia suddenly woke up as if sensing it. When she raised her head and saw the empty hospital bed, she screamed in shock, "Where is Max? Max is gone!"

Remington was woken up by her scream and asked, "Who's missing? Who's Max?"

He thought she had had a nightmare.

When Cecelia came to her senses, she realized she had spilled the beans. So, she changed her words, saying, "Where is Andres? Why isn't he on the bed?"

"Andres is gone?"

When Cecelia got up to search, Remington was also startled out of sleep. He wanted to help, but it was inconvenient for him to move around. So, he shouted, "Andres! Andres!"

Cecelia ran out of the ward, went straight to the nurse station, and asked, "Have you seen the kid from Bed 102? Did he run out?"

The nurses shook their heads and started to help her look for the kid.

Had Maximus woken up? Had he left by himself or been kidnapped?

Cecelia didn't dare to think about it, so she asked the nurses to help to check the surveillance video. Then, she ran toward the ward to get her bag and mobile phone, intending to ask Verda to bring people here to help.

But when arriving at the ward, she saw Max sitting on the bed.

"Cecelia? Are you back? Andres is back!" Remington said.

Seeing her son, Cecelia breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked to him, touched his little face, and asked, "Where did you go just now? I could not find you anywhere!"

Seeing him point to the bathroom, Cecelia knew he had gone to pee. She thought someone had kidnapped him!

After she held him in her arms for a while, the head nurse ran over with a few nurses and asked, "Have you found the kid?"

"Yes, I found him. Thank you for your help!"

Seeing the child safe and sound, the nurses left the ward.

Cecelia didn't close her eyes anymore because she must watch over her son wholeheartedly. And she did not feel relieved until the doctor came to examine Maximus the next morning and told her he was fine.
