Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 1004:

Collin’s words brought a quiet relief, letting Linsey exhale softly. As far as she was concerned, she felt little connection to Jeffery or the Lawsons.

Still, the knot lingered—Jeffery was her brother by blood, no matter how distant their lives had become. Losing him for good would bring a sting she couldn’t quite ignore.

Collin caught the turmoil flickering in Linsey’s eyes. His tone softened. “Don’t worry. I’ll ask someone to check on the Lawsons and see what’s really going on.”

A faint smile touched Linsey’s lips. “There’s no need to fuss over it. Honestly, I’m not that invested in what happens to them anymore.”

The disappointments from four years ago had already drained any lingering hope she might have had for that family.

Now that she had a home of her own, the old connections felt more like faded memories than anything truly important.

Later that night, Linsey and Collin slipped quietly into the house, finding Dolores and Glenda already finished tucking the kids into bed.

“How’s Gorman holding up?” Dolores asked softly, reaching out to take Linsey’s hand, her touch warm.

A calm smile formed on Linsey’s lips as she answered, “He’s all right for now. We’ve arranged for some caretakers to stay with him. I’ll stop by tomorrow to check in.”noveldrama

Hearing that, Collin’s mood soured. His brow furrowed. “You’re planning to go tomorrow?”

“I gave Gorman my word. I can’t just go back on it, right? Besides, you’ll be coming with me, so what’s the issue?” Linsey responded, meeting his eyes without hesitation.

Weariness crept into Collin’s voice. “I’ve got a big meeting at the office in the morning.”

He paused, considering a compromise. “Maybe we can reschedule for the day after tomorrow?”

A moment passed before Linsey replied, “Don’t worry about me. If you’ve got things to handle at work, I’ll go on my own.”

No way was Collin letting that happen. The thought of Linsey taking care of Gorman alone just didn’t sit right.

Even now, Collin couldn’t shake the regret that weighed on him for not saving Linsey before Gorman did at the bridal shop that day. He believed that if he had been the one to protect Linsey from harm, many of the problems that followed might never have happened.

A dark cloud seemed to settle over Collin’s face, prompting Dolores to cut in smoothly. “Let’s do this—tomorrow, Linsey and I will head over to the hospital together. That way, Gorman gets more help, and Glenda can keep an eye on the kids. Honestly, those little ones have been nothing but patient lately.”

Pausing for a moment, Dolores continued, “Just make sure both of you say a proper goodbye to the kids in the morning. They barely saw you today, and they were pretty upset at bedtime.”

Linsey shot Dolores a grateful look and gave her sleeve a quick tug. “Sounds good. We’ll go to the hospital together tomorrow,” she said, turning to address Collin. “This works out for everyone, right?”
