Chapter 1018:

Dolores nodded. «It’s in the dressing table drawer in their room. I left it there this morning. I think I stopped at page seven last night, so you can pick up from there.»

Standing nearby, Dustin overheard the call and realized it was about Zenia and Zander again. His brow furrowed slightly.

Zenia and Zander were Collin and Linsey’s children, and their care should fall to their parents, not Dolores. She wasn’t their nanny, after all.

In that fleeting moment, a wave of frustration surged within Dustin, impossible to ignore. Hester’s sharp words from the other day echoed relentlessly in his mind.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, a heavy silence hung in the air. Gorman’s lips curved into a faint smirk, but his eyes held no trace of warmth.

Gorman kept his gaze fixed on Linsey, as though the world could disappear around them and he would still hold on to this one moment.

«You know, it makes me happy,» Gorman said in a tone so gentle it nearly blended with the silence.

His words caught Linsey off guard. She tilted her head and asked, «What are you talking about?»

Gorman’s eyes softened as he explained, «It’s just… I appreciate that you’re still willing to be alone with me. It means you haven’t come to hate me, not truly.»

Linsey’s lips curved into a gentle smile when she heard him say that. «If you want to know the truth, you’ve always been important to me. If you hadn’t done those things after you went back to Grester, I’d still call you a good friend. I haven’t forgotten how much you helped me.»

After a moment, she lowered her eyes. «Maybe you should count yourself lucky that Zenia never suffered any lasting damage from your plans. She actually still thinks of you as a friend, you know.»

Gorman said nothing, his silence lingering as he just watched her, patient and unhurried.

Suddenly, something seemed to spark in Linsey’s memory. «Oh, before I forget, I always knew about Zenia calling you Daddy when nobody was around. That really shouldn’t happen again. She already has a father.»

That startled him for a second. Gorman blinked, surprise flickering across his features. «You were aware of that?»

Linsey met his eyes and gave a quiet nod. «I knew about it from the very beginning,» she said, not a trace of doubt in her voice.

The memory must have struck her as amusing because she let out a soft chuckle. «Tell me, Gorman, did you really think you meant more to Zenia than I did?»

Only then did understanding dawn on his face, and a genuine laugh escaped him. «So Zenia confessed everything to you.»

«That’s why I’ve never doubted that my children are honest with me. Still, I’ll admit you were clever enough to draw them in and send them to Collin all on their own,» Linsey said, her tone even, her words carrying a quiet pride.

Nobody could have guessed that Gorman would go so far as to buy Caylee, and that decision caught her completely off guard.

As a result, she made the tough call to fire Caylee, though before she did, Linsey slipped her enough money to ensure Caylee’s grandmother could still get the surgery she needed.
