Chapter 800 Larry's Dad
Holding the document, Abigail was filled with confusion and disbelief.
The child she desperately protected turned out to be Josh's.
What was going on?
Back at home, Abigail placed Larry on the couch and carefully examined his face.
Unfortunately, the little one was too small, with a round and chubby face that, aside from being cute and adorable, bore no resemblance to Josh.
Feeling like a storm was brewing inside her, she eventually called Josh.
When Josh returned from work, he entered and asked Abigail in confusion, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
Abigail grabbed his collar, pulled him to the couch, made him sit down, and gazed at him for a moment before inquiring, "When was the last time you were with Luna?"
"It's been a while, over two years... Why?" Josh couldn't recall.
There was a period when his memory was particularly hazy. During that time, he drank heavily, not caring about anything, as if he were always engulfed in darkness.
Abigail glanced at Larry, who was playing with a ball on the couch, took a deep breath, and then said, "Larry is your child, left to you by Luna."
She had considered many possibilities, fearing that the child might belong to a despicable person. But because it was Luna's child, she had always refrained from entertaining such thoughts.
Yet she never imagined the child would be Josh's!
Josh's eyes widened in shock, even more so than Abigail when she first received the results, incredulous. "How is that possible? I don't remember..."
"Just because you don't remember doesn't mean you can deny it. The child is yours!" Abigail's grip tightened on his collar, her eyes fierce.
After a moment of bewilderment, Josh turned to Larry.
Following his gaze, Abigail let go, her heart suddenly softening.
She had fought so hard, endured so much for this child, and faced numerous challenges, but the outcome was unexpectedly perfect.
Suddenly, everything felt worthwhile.
Abigail's throat tightened, and a smile slowly spread across her face. Taking two steps back, she smiled even more brightly. "I never expected the child to be yours. Everything that happened this year was worth it."
As she sat down, tears welled up in her eyes. "Luna, the child was actually Josh's."
Sometimes, she felt aggrieved by the chaos this inexplicable child brought into her life, but in the end, it was worth it because the child was Josh's.
Josh, holding Larry, appeared bewildered.
He strained his memory; he only remembered the times he was drowning in alcohol, perhaps having seen her a few times but waking up with no memory of it.
During that time, he was living in a haze.
It turned out that while he was lost in his indulgence, Abigail and Luna were both carrying heavy burdens.
"Mama!" Larry called out to Abigail, seeming not to favor Josh very much.
After all, Josh had no emotional bond with him. Children were like that. They would consider whoever cared for them the most as their parents.
"I am not your mother." Abigail promptly rejected it.
Now that he found his dad, why call her?
Upon hearing this, Larry began to cry. "Mama!"
Her head aching as he cried. She quickly went over to hold him, her voice tinged with helplessness. "I'm really not your mom. We'll find her soon."
Larry nestled in her arms, his tiny, tender hands clutching tightly onto her collar, not letting go, calling out, "Mama!"
Josh also felt somewhat headache-inducing. Abigail was his sister, yet his son was calling her mom. It was all his fault, falling apart over a lost love, not remembering a thing, and only finding out about his child two years later.
"Um, I should inform my parents." Josh suddenly came to his senses.
Abigail held Larry, her heart gradually filling with joy.
This was Luna and Josh's child; he's their child.
"I suppose I could be your son's godmother," Abigail whispered softly.
The Pearson Family became lively in the afternoon, with even Sean joining in.
Lawrence's mouth curved into a smile as he returned and immediately began playing with Larry, lifting him up in the air.
Larry excitedly pointed at the birds flying in the sky and then turned to Abigail, exclaiming, "Mama! Bird! Bird!"
"These are swallows, dear. Swallows!" She corrected him gently.
A bright smile lit up Larry's face. "Swallow!"
Sean stood beside Abigail, tilting his head as he quietly observed her.
Because of her, the Pearson Family silently gained a new member.
In the Pearson household, everything felt complete except for Luna, who had not yet returned.
Scarlett had been eager to hold Larry, attempting to take him from Lawrence a few times without success. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and demanded, "Let me hold him! You've been holding him for two hours!"
Lawrence let Larry sit on top of him, gently spinning around. "Riding the horse! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
Andrew wheeled himself over to Abigail, his face filled with wonder. After observing for a while, he finally said to her, "My dad never played with me like this."
"Do you have any memories from your childhood?" Abigail asked him with a smile.
Andrew's childhood had been lacking. He had never experienced the simple joys that most children do in a normal family.
"I don't recall much. The feelings your family gave me are strange and a bit of envy," Andrew said slowly.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
