"So what do we do now?" Mrs. Walker asked, her worried gaze shifting between Ynda and her pregnant belly.


    Vincent didn''t have any good ideas at the moment. His own position in the city was precarious, and pulling strings for Eden wouldn''t be easy.


    Besides, Eden might not even appreciate the effort.


    "Let''s see what the Thompson family does first. If Frank is willing to save his son, we''ll lend a hand. But if Frank doesn''t care whether Eden lives or dies, then Eden is a useless pawn."


    “Then what about Ynda and the baby?"


    Mrs. Walker asked anxiously.


    "If Eden is sentenced, Ynda should divorce him. My daughter will not be married


    to a convict. As for the child... she should have an abortion. It would only be a burden on Ynda to raise it."


    Vincent let out a long sigh and stood up.


    "You make it sound so simple! An abortion is so damaging to a woman''s body, and Ynda''s health is already fragile. What if something goes wrong?"


    Mrs. Walker''s eyes were filled with worry, but Vincent just grabbed his coat, eager to leave. He tossed a dismissive reply over his shoulder, "An abortion is a minor procedure. With so many top obstetricians in the country, what could possibly happen? Stop worrying about nothing."


    With that, Vincent grabbed his coat and walked out.


    April was due to give birth soon, and although she was an older mother, both she and the baby were perfectly healthy.


    Vincent''s mind waspletely consumed with the impending birth of his son, leaving him with no energy to spare for Mrs. Walker or their daughter.


    "Where are you going sote?" Mrs. Walker''s question hung in the air as Vincent hurried away, merely calling back, “I have to go back to the office. We can talk about this when I get back."


    "Your father has been staying out all night more and more often, and he''s so dismissive of your problems. I have a bad feeling about this," Mrs. Walker finally admitted, her suspicions about her husband growing.


    "He''s probably out ying house with some new side piece," Ynda sneered.


    Mrs. Walker nodded. She was


    almost certain her husband was


    having an affair. It wasn''t the first


    time Vincent had a woman on tet


    side, but he had always been discreet, with most of his attention stiff focused on his wife and


    daughter at home.


    But now, Vincent was staying out all night more frequently and seemed to have lost interest in his only daughter.


    "What if your father actually has an illegitimate child somewhere?" Mrs. Walker suddenly blurted out.


    It had to be said, a woman''s intuition is sometimes scarily urate.


    “But didn''t you say Dad has a low sperm count and can''t have children?" Ynda asked, confused.


    "It means it''s hard, not impossible.


    ???;


    How do you think you got here? What if he found some young, healthy woman and she actually gave him an illegitimate son? ce would we have in the Walker family then?" Mrs. Walker fretted.


    When Mrs. Walker gave birth to Ynda, the Walker family had been deeply


    dissatisfied because she was a girl with a congenital health defect.


    But since Vincent had a low sperm count and never managed to have another child, Ynda had been doted on by the entire family.


    If Vincent had other children, Ynda would be cast aside. With her poor health, she would be left to fend for herself.

    "No, I can''t let that happen. I''m going to hire a private investigator to look into this. If your father really has produced a bastard, we need to be prepared," Mrs Walker dered immediately grabbing her phone. She called a familiar private investigator and paid a hefty sum to have Vincent''s movements tracked.
