I Have A Solo Mommy Plan, But Daddy Refuses to Let Go-Chapter 450: Taken Away
Cough cough cough!
A bout of harsh coughing, as if he were about to cough out his lungs.
The old man stared blankly at the dim room and shook his head weakly. Caleb Shawcross had already left for who knows how long. Before he left, he had prepared enough food and water for him... It’s uncertain how long this kind of life will continue.
But now, their current living situation does not allow him to leave privately. Once Donovan Shawcross discovers, he’ll truly pay a heavy price.
By then, probably no one will be able to stop Donovan Shawcross’s actions.
Thinking of his daring idea, the old man couldn’t help but shiver violently...
The reason Donovan Shawcross can commit such heinous acts is largely due to his own mistakes... It is because of his inaction that this man has become increasingly reckless.
But the more he thinks about it, the more helpless the old man feels.
Why are both his sons so different? His older son is so gentle and kind, while his younger son is so cunning and unscrupulous, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals...
So many lives have been lost at his hands, even his own eldest son met a tragic end at Caleb Shawcross’s hands.
"Son... it’s your father who wronged you, it’s my fault for not discovering his deceit and ambition sooner... it’s all my fault."
If he could have discovered the foul intentions sooner, would his eldest son have not died?
Then he wouldn’t be in this situation now.
The weakness in his body made him lie helplessly on the sickbed, wondering how Caleb Shawcross was doing now?
Caleb Shawcross should have already met Landon Lawson by now, right? Probably only Landon Lawson can truly stop his younger son’s reckless impulses.
Knock knock knock!
A sudden urgent knocking sound interrupted the old man’s thoughts. He shivered violently and looked towards the door, somewhat terrified.
No one had shown up all the time while Caleb Shawcross was away.
But now who could be the one knocking? Could it be him?
Thinking of this, the old man picked up the stick beside him, looking at the door with some fear.
The knocking did not stop; instead, it became crisper and louder.
"Who is it?"
A hoarse voice came out of his throat.
If it really was Caleb Shawcross, he truly would have to surrender... He never thought his fate would be so turbulent; it was difficult enough surviving under that wicked doctor... and now he’s about to be discovered again.
He doesn’t know what kind of inhumane treatment awaits him if he goes back this time...
The old man shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
It seems this must be his fate, and he must pay for his mistakes from years ago...
"It’s me! Landon Lawson."
Landon Lawson’s cold voice came from outside the door, catching the old man slightly off guard, with a trace of joy flashing in his eyes. Trembling, he got out of bed, went to the door, and opened it, looking at the cold-faced man standing before him. For the first time, he surprisingly felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
"You... it’s really you. I never thought I would see you again."
The old man’s voice was choked, as if grasping the last straw to save his life.
The man’s gaze was heavy as he looked at the old man before him and spoke slowly, "You need to leave with me quickly now, his men might arrive soon..."
"Do I have to leave with you now? But my body can’t handle it."
The old man spoke, having just recovered from a serious illness, his body still weak... even walking normally required a lot of effort...
Thinking of this, the old man had some helplessness as he shook his head and suddenly realized he had not seen Caleb Shawcross’s figure until now. He asked worriedly, "Where is Caleb Shawcross? Why didn’t he come this time?"
The old man still had some apprehension in his heart. After all, his own son could turn against him, let alone Landon Lawson?
The only person who could completely set his mind at ease was probably Caleb Shawcross.
Landon Lawson nodded slightly, knowing the old man’s caution was not without reason... If he hadn’t lived cautiously, he probably wouldn’t have survived the other man.
"The teacher is now with my secretary delaying Caleb Shawcross... So now we need to hurry up and leave; besides, Caleb Shawcross and I have already reached an agreement, and I will ensure the safety of both of you." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, like it had a magical power that gave the old man a strange sense of security.
As if with Landon Lawson by his side, there’s nothing to worry about.
Landon Lawson looked around the shabby room, "Have you been living here all along?"
The old man nodded lightly and spoke slowly, "You know my current situation. Now I and Caleb Shawcross don’t dare to make much of ourselves in crowded places. Otherwise, if he finds out, the two of us won’t survive... I’m already very old; I’ve lived a long life, but Caleb Shawcross is still so young... I absolutely can’t let this child get into trouble with me."
The man’s pupils contracted slightly; he had already known from Caleb Shawcross that Caleb was just a child the old man brought back from an orphanage...
But unexpectedly, such a master-servant relationship ended up creating a profound bond.
At this moment, Landon Lawson finally understood why Caleb Shawcross was so loyal to him.
How could he not sacrifice his life to protect someone who cared for him so deeply?
Landon Lawson, with great gravity, said, "I am committed to doing what I promised you. I can see your body isn’t well, so I will take you away now."
As he spoke, Landon Lawson squatted down and carried the old man on his back.
The old man looked fearfully at the man carrying him, feeling an unusual sense of gratitude: "I never imagined, given your status, you’d do such a thing... It seems I’ve changed my opinion of you."
"Did you know me before?"
Landon Lawson slowly opened up to the old man.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "I actually saw you when you were a child. Your father and I were friends."
The old man’s words caused a pause in Landon Lawson’s steps.
Could this old man really know his father?
Then maybe he also knows about the things that happened back then?
He can finally learn the truth.
