Chapter 679 Mommy, Are You Still Feeling Sick


    When he heard Dolores'' words, Gorman''s mind went back to the airport. He had seen Collin and Dustin there.


    Gorman figured the banquet was no coincidence. Collin must have arranged it after seeing him return to Grester with


    Zenia.


    After all, Zander looked a lot like Linsey.


    And when Zenia called him Daddy, it probably stirred something in Collin-enough


    to make him suspicious.


    Gorman guessed Collin wanted answers. So, he decided to show up at the


    banquet with Linsey and let Collin see them together. Maybe then he would finally


    give up.


    "Alright. I''ll go with Linsey tomorrow night," Gorman said, a sly smile on his lips.


    When Linsey woke up, the room was dim and quiet.


    She sat up suddenly, dazed and confused.


    Her heart sank. She had promised to pick up Zenia.


    Frustrated, she threw off the nket and got out of bed. She couldn''t even remember when she had fallen asleep.


    She vaguely recalled eating with Dolores and Caylee after thepetition results were announced.


    They had nned to go to the airport together.


    Linsey guessed she must have dozed off on the way. But now wasn''t the time to figure it out.


    She switched on the light, dressed quickly, and rushed to open the door.


    Just then, two small figures popped up in front of her.


    "Mommy, you''re finally awake!" Zander said.


    "Mommy, I missed you so much!" Zenia eximed.


    Zenia and Zander wrapped themselves around her legs, one on each side.


    Zenia clung to her, looking up with wide, worried eyes. "Mommy, are you still feeling sick?"


    Linsey was stunned. She hadn''t expected Zenia to be here already. Her heart filled with joy.


    She knelt down and pulled both kids into a tight hug.


    With teary eyes, she addressed Zenia. "I''m so sorry, sweetheart. I didn''te to pick you up."


    Zenia shook her head seriously. "It''s okay. Gorman, Dolores, and Caylee said you were really tired and needed to rest. I

    understand, Mommy."


    Just then, a warm voice rang out. "Linsey."


    She looked up and saw Gorman walking toward her, a gentle smile on his face.


    She knew it was because of him that Zenia had made it safely to Grester.


    Grateful, she pressed her lips together and said softly, "Thank you for bringing Zenia."


    Gorman smiled. "It was nothing. I''m attending a big banquet tomorrow night. I heard you and Dolores will be there too."


    Linsey asked, puzzled, "A banquet?"


    He nodded and took Zander''s hand, motioning for her to bring Zenia over to the sofa.


    "It''s hosted by CR Corporation. They''re celebrating the end of this year''s designpetition. A lot of important people will


    be there. Should be a grand night," Gorman exined.


    Linsey gently set Zenía down on the sofa and smoothed her soft hair. She didn''t


    say much. Her expression stayed calm, as


    if Gorman''s words meant little to her.
