As for when they could see Mason⦠âMason will return to the Reed family when heâs discharged. Youâll get to meet him then.â
âOkay, Iâll be a good older sister!â said Jasper as she lifted her chin, already assuming the role of an older sister!
Just then, William, who had been silent, suddenly said, âIs my mommy going to jail?â
The air seemed a little depressing when the childlike voice was heard asking such a question.
Grace looked at the child in front of her. She and Lily had a lot of bad blood, but the child was innocent.
âThatâs for the judge to decide,â said Grace. She could not bear to say the harsh truth so directly in front of the children.
âOh,â William replied in a whisper as he lowered his head and said nothing more.
Jason said to Grace, âAlright, itâs almost time for you to go back to the hospital. Youâve been out too long. Thereâs too much missing data on your hands. The calculation is going to be inaccurate.â
âOkay,â said Grace. She bid goodbye to the two children before her eyes rested on William for a moment.
After getting into the car, Jason asked, âWhatâs the matter? Are you thinking about that child?â
âIâm not. I just feel sorry for the child. Lily is going to prison, and we donât know whoâs going to raise him. He has a great talent for music. It would be a pity if it gets buried because of his circumstances,â
said Grace.
âGenerally speaking, the child will be raised by Lilyâs parents. As for his biological fatherâ¦â
Grace said, âIt isnât Sean. Williamâs biological father isnât Sean. Lily made it clear on the phone when I was on the hill. She deliberately made Sean think that he was Williamâs biological father,â said Grace.
âIt doesnât matter who the father is. Itâs just a child. Once the key arrives and the handcuffs are off, Iâll hand the child to the police and let them take care of him,â said Jason.
âHow is the Atkinson family doing now?â asked Grace. She had not heard of the Atkinson family since returning to Emerald City.
âThe Atkinson family went bankrupt. Harold Atkinson and his wife are in a lot of debt and have left Emerald City. I donât keep tabs on them anymore, but the police will find them if they want to hand the child to them,â said Jason.
Grace sighed, fearing it might not be a good thing for Harold Atkinson and his wife to raise William.
However, it was the Atkinson familyâs family matters, after all. She did not want to bother herself with them.
Back in the hospital, Grace had dinner and soon fell asleep.
Jason stared at her sleeping face as he looked down slightly. âIâm going home to deal with some things first. Iâll come and accompany you later. Donât worry, I wonât let our children encounter any more danger.â
Jason got up, walked out of the ward, and got into a car parked at the hospitalâs entrance. âGo back to Reed Residence.â
Uncle Kwan was a little surprised to see Jason back in Reed Residence. After all, Young Madam was hospitalized. Judging from how much Young master Reed cared about Young Madam, he should be in the hospital taking care of her.
âWhereâs Jasper?â asked Jason.
âLittle Young Lady and William are in Little Young Ladyâs bedroom. Theyâre probably going to bed soon,â said Uncle Kwan.
Jason walked toward his daughterâs bedroom.
