Chapter 648
Jake and Olivia were instantly anxious. Olivia demanded angrily, "Draxton!"
Draxton loved his sister very much. He put Livvy in Olivia's arms as a fleeting grin crossed his face.
Livvy settled herself in Olivia's arms. She had no intention of crying and burrowed further into her mother's embrace.
Draxton and Isabella continued to stay with Olivia in the hospital for some time before they returned to the Lockwood family's residence.
Although Ollie was well-behaved, he couldn't bear to be apart from his mother for too long.
When they returned home, Ollie was awake and had a bright smile on his face. He was having a great time playing with Graham and Emma.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
At the sight of them returning home, Emma walked over to them and asked, Has Olivia given birth yet?"
"Yes, it's a baby girl. She cries really loudly," Isabella said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. How's Olivia doing?" Emma asked.
"She's fine," Isabella replied.
Emma was overjoyed and gushed excitedly, "Things are going well with our family these days."
"My precious, you've another little sister!"
Emma said happily to Betty and Ricky.
Betty was very excited and asked, "Great-grandma, can we dress her up in pretty dresses?"
Emma agreed without any hesitation, "Yes, yes!"
Ricky asked, "Great-grandma, can we teach her to play with worms?"
Emma continued to nod and chirped, "Of course!"
Betty's eyes lit up and said with delight, "That's great! We'll definitely have lots of fun with our sister in the future."
Emma nodded repeatedly and praised them, My precious, you're awesome!"
Both Ricky and Betty's eyes lit up with anticipation. From now on, they would take on the roles of an older brother and an older sister. They would shower Ollie and Livvy with affection. The adults naturally had no idea what they were thinking.
At the same time, the Quincy family.
The Quincy family lived in seclusion in a remote mountain village in Lucsia.
This mountain community was unique because the residents of this mountain town were all part of the Quincy family.
Almost all of them serve the Quincy family.
To be more accurate, the Quincy family ran this mountain village more like a corporation.
They were not primitive in any way, despite the fact that they lived in isolation. They had their own intelligence service and were constantly gathering information from the outside world.
In the Quincy family, Mandie, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up on this day.
She blinked her eyes blankly. Her memories remained frozen at the time she learned Jake's true identity and perished alongside Jasper.
She had been severely hurt and was close to death at the time.
She believed that if she ended herself in Jasper's hands, she would undoubtedly die. The guy was cruel and heartless, after all.
However, she did not expect that she would make it out alive.
Noticing that she was finally awake, the servants who were taking care of her immediately went to look for Frederick and the other members of the family to notify them of the good news.
Frederick and the others soon rushed to her side.
Mandie looked at them as tears ran down her face.
"Dad, Arthur."
Words could barely describe what she was feeling.
"Mandie, you just woke up. Don't get too emotional," Arthur comforted her softly.
However, Mandie couldn't control herself. Tears were falling uncontrollably from her eyes.
"Dad, Arthur, my child isn't dead. He was taken away by that bastard Jasper to become a test subject."
Mandie's eyes were filled with pain.
The expressions on Frederick and Arthur darkened.
"Mandie, what did you say?" Frederick asked in disbelief.
Mandie said between sobs, My first kid didn't die at an early age. Back then, the dead baby was a fake. I didn't give birth to him at all. My real son was taken away by Jasper to become an experimental subject. He's still alive."
"What?" Frederick's voice trembled as he murmured, He's still alive..."
Mandie's tears flowed even more violently. He, he's grown up now. His name is Jake Quillon. The Lockwood family, The Lockwood family knows him. Dad, Arthur, you must help me find him. I want to see him! Mandie's eyes widened as if she were dying of discontent if she didn't get to see Jake.
Frederick and Arthur looked at each other. Shock flashed across their eyes. "Jake Quillon is your child?"
"Yes, he is Jake Quillon. That child has suffered too much! Dad, Arthur, you must help me find him! I, I've let him down. I once helped Jasper to harm him. I, I've let him down..." Mandie broke down and cried in grief.
"Mandie, Jasper is already dead. Jake is doing very well now. He's married to the eldest daughter of the Lockwood family. Perhaps, they're going to have a wedding soon. Mandie, you need to get better. When the time comes, you might be able to attend his wedding," Arthur said with encouragement.
Mandie's hopeless, frail eyes were suddenly filled with the bright light of survival.
Frederick and Arthur continued to comfort Mandie for some time. When they reached the study room, Frederick became agitated and snarled, "The Willsmith family is really something. I'll definitely find Old Willsmith and demand an explanation for this. They sent our grandson to be experimented on. He's also their grandson. They're simply inhumane!"
"Dad, don't be angry. What happened has already happened. I think the current situation is beneficial to us," Arthur said calmly.
Frederick glared at him and growled, "What are you trying to do? You're not trying to use them, are you?"
Arthur shook his head and explained, "Dad, what do you mean by using them? That's the truth. Jake Quillon is part of the Quincy family. We're the in-laws with the Lockwood family now. How can the Lockwood family reject our request? Who doesn't want to know the results of the crystal potion's experiment?"
By his words, Frederick was a little hesitant.
"Dad, just because we're using Jake Quillon doesn't mean that we're bad people.
"Even if Jake and the Lockwood family had nothing to do with each other, once we find out the truth today, we will still accept him and give him what he deserves. It's just a coincidence that he's related to the Lockwood family. We'd be nitpicking if we passed up the chance to become close with the Lockwood family."
Frederick nodded when he heard this. He looked at Arthur thoughtfully and said, "What you said makes sense. However, I heard that Jake is the leader of Mercenari Uno. He even accepted Jackson Vaughn as his adoptive father. Do you think he will acknowledge us as well?"
"Why not? Aren't we his biological family?" Arthur asked.
Frederick shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
Instead, Arthur said, I refused to believe it. I'm his uncle. I'll look for him tomorrow."
The next day, they received an invitation from the Lockwood family.
Jake and Olivia were going to have their wedding in a month.
Arthur was delighted for Jake and eagerly shared the wedding invitation with Frederick.
Both Frederick and Arthur decided to look for Jake and tell him that they were his biological family.
Jake was having a bitter-and-sweet life at the moment.
The sweetness was due to having Livvy, but the bitterness was also due to having Livvy.
Livvy's temper was too much to handle. She would sob uncontrollably if Jake caused her any kind of discomfort.
Jake, exhausted after putting Livvy to sleep, slumped next to Olivia while sweating heavily.
He muttered, "Don't tell me our Livvy's temper takes after mine? I was told that my temper was terrible when I was small."
Olivia ran her hand through his thick black hair and grinned, But Bella said that you have a bad temper now too."
Jake gritted his teeth and spat, "Maybe my sister is meant to be beaten up!"
After some thought, he said, "Unfortunately, I can't win her."
Olivia found it funny that Jake was complaining about Isabella. They seemed to be really close with each other.
"I'm going to tell Bella," Olivia said in a sing-song voice.
"Olivia, whose wife are you? You can't side with outsiders." Jake was unhappy at the sound of it.
Olivia laughed, "You seem to have forgotten that Bella is my sister-in-law."
Jake gritted his teeth in silence
