Chapter 450
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Theyâd been about to ask about that yesterday, but Robert had been busy with his own business and Georgia with her experiments at work, so itâd dragged on to today.
As Robert worded the question, he and Georgia kept their eyes fixed on Wesleyâs face, eager to see his reaction.
âI donât remember too much when I was small or when I was three years old or four years old, Dad. Itâs all fuzzy. Why canât I remember? I donât remember at all. I just remember that a lot of kids were playing with me, but I donât remember what their faces looked like. What about before do you want to ask me about, Dad? If you donât say what it is, I donât know how to think about it.â
âThen Iâll say it another way. Back when you were with your Mommy, Sierra. Do you remember being with her when you were in kindergarten or when you were younger? Where did you live back then? Did you have neighbors you knew beside you?â
At Robertâs words, Wesleyâs brow furrowed.
He thought back to his memories from when he was little, thought of where he and his Mommy used to live, and if there were any neighbors around.
But none of it surfaced. He just remembered that he seemed to have been together with his Mommy all along, but he couldnât recall what kind of place it was.
âMaybe my memoryâs bad, Daddy. I canât remember. But I remember Mommy was with me all along. I just donât remember where I used to live with Mommy.â
âThen Iâll say it another way again. Back when you lived together with your Mommy Sierra, did you ever keep a kitty or a puppy? Did you have any toys you liked?â
Those were small, tangible details now.
Robertâs question had gone from large-scale to minute. He was probing deeper step by step.
Anyone who had a memory would have given an answer for this last question.
If they didnât have pets, they never had pets. If he had any toys he liked, heâd have said so.
Wesley thought back and only felt his head hurt.
âI donât remember if Mommy and I had any pets, Dad. I donât remember that. I donât get it. Why are you asking me this kind of question, Dad? Maybe I didnât have any toys I like.â
At that, Annie chimed in at the side, curious.
âYou liked that toy puppy the most usually, so how could you not have a toy you liked? Did Auntie Sierra not buy you toys? Auntie Vanessa bought me lots of dolls before. I liked the big bear the most.â
Saying that much, Annie tugged on Robertâs hand.
âDaddy, I want a big, tall golden retriever. I saw my neighbors around me keep one before and itâs cute and gentle. Can I have one too?â
Robert smiled and agreed.
âIf you want that kind of dog, Annie, of course itâs okay. Iâll have the butler arrange it, and you can go pick it yourself. You can start at a puppy, and the golden retriever will treat you as its master and like you a lot.
âBut if you want it, Daddy has to remind you about one thing.â
âWhat thing?â
Annie asked curiously.
âIf you want a dog, then from the moment you buy it back, you have to know how to take care of it, know what itâs scared of, and know what it doesnât like. You canât leave it all to the servants and the butlers. I want you to be responsible for it and be its real master instead of leaving it to someone else.â
Annie was a bit confused.
âIf I wanted a golden retriever, Daddy, of course Iâm going to take care of its meals, and know what it doesnât like. Donât worry, if I got this dog, Iâd stick to it every day, and know what it likes and hates perfectly.â
From the way Annie and Wesley were talking about their memories, it was clear to see that Wesley only had a muddled image of the past, and couldnât say where he used to live, what he liked, and what he did.
As for having him recall what went on before, he could only say that heâd always lived with his Mommy.
Georgia and Robert could almost be certain that Wesleyâs memories had an issue, but neither of them were professional, and they still needed Vincent over to do a expertâs evaluation.
At noon, Georgia left home.
Wilson had sent people to take her, and it was already arranged. Georgia came before Sierra straight away with no complications.
Sierra was in manacles, and wearing a prisonerâs outfit.
There was only a table between them, and to let Georgia speak freely, Sierraâs feet had been shackled too, and she couldnât move at all.
The two of them were left there.
âThis was sudden. Is a certain person in your family now in danger and about to die? Is that why youâre coming to beg for my help?â
Sierra opened her mouth and started mocking her right away.
She actually didnât know what was going on inside Robertâs body, but she was sure that he wasnât in the same state as regular people.
Back when theyâd taken Robert out of the lab, she and Jayson had run a test on him to do some early treatment.
That checkup had turned out something wrong already. But Sierra didnât care. She was just looking forward to Robert passing her his property.
âSorry to disappoint you. Robertâs doing fine every day. Itâs like you say and his bodyâs a bit abnormal, but up until now, he hasnât shown any problems.â
With that hanging in the air, Sierra shut up.
She didnât know if Georgia was forcing her smile, or if she really was that confident.
After all, she was locked up here and had no access to outside information.
âSpeaking of, I spent five years in prison too. How the tables turn. I was the one in the overalls and cuffs. None of you Lanes came by to visit me, but now youâre the one in prison. Really, sometimes you canât laugh too early. Who knows if youâll lose it all one day.â
As Georgia said that, Sierraâs expression changed.
Her face contorted slightly. Sierra especially hated how Georgia was lording over her.
Right now, Georgia was a woman in finery, while she herself sat here, hair messy, in the clothes of a convict, a defeated prisoner. The difference was driving her insane.
She hated the feeling that Georgia was having it better than her. She only wanted Georgia to be as it was when she was little.

But now, she was being mocked by such a woman. It was driving her insane.
âWhat are you so pleased about? Do you think youâll really have happiness? When Wesleyâs birth mother shows up before you, and when Robert has to take responsibility for that woman, youâll be abandoned all the same!â
