Chapter 1336: Our Child Returned to Us
Stuart Floyd put down the teacup, looked at his wife in silence for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Celine, treat Nicole a bit better, and take good care of his health. Don’t worry, our child will surely return to us."
Celine Sutton sighed, "I really don’t understand how money can have such a huge influence, making people lose their humanity. That year, he framed you, his own brother, causing you to bear a lifetime of infamy. Doesn’t he really feel guilty at all?"
Thinking of past events, Stuart Floyd tightened his grip on the cup, his eyes filled with hatred, "Someone who can even scheme against his own wife—would he know how to spell ’guilt’? I fear he wouldn’t even know how to write ’face’!"
Celine Sutton’s eyes welled up with deep red, her voice choked, "Mr. Xavier Turner, let them have the family inheritance if they want it. We don’t need it, just bring the child back, okay? I only want my child to come home; we can give up the assets we originally had."
"Celine—" Stuart Floyd’s eyes also felt a bit sore, "I’m sorry for causing you to live with me in Italy all these years, unable to return to City T, and even swapping our newborn child. Celine, did you ever resent me?"
Celine Sutton’s tears suddenly fell as she shook her head, "I’ve never resented you; it’s because we’re not as despicable as others, so we lost. I’ve just been thinking about the child, wondering if my child has lived well over these years, if they’ve treated him well. I want to know these things. Mr. Xavier Turner, I know you’ve secretly investigated the child behind my back; tell me, is my child doing well? Based on his age, is he already married? Whose daughter from City T did he marry? Am I a grandmother now?"
Stuart Floyd hesitated for a long time and didn’t speak.
Celine Sutton’s sobbing echoed in his ears, unsettling his heart, furrowing his brows, and deepening the look in his eyes.
"Mr. Xavier Turner, I want to make a trip back to City T. I want to secretly see the child. I’ll be very careful and won’t let anyone discover this secret, Mr. Xavier Turner." Celine Sutton spoke as she cried, shaking Stuart Floyd’s arm, refusing to let go.
The always silent Stuart Floyd pressed his lips together, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he said softly to Celine Sutton, "You don’t need to return to City T to see the child because our child... has come to us, which is a rare blessing from fate!"

Later Floyd returned from the police station, holding something in her hand, eyes somewhat dazed as she got out of the taxi, walking towards the Floyd Family’s residence.
Arriving at the Floyd Family’s residence at the same time as Nicole, Jose Floyd got out of the car and saw her distracted gaze, stepping forward to match her pace.
Jose Floyd noticed Nicole’s face was somewhat pale and reached out to block her path.
It was only then that Nicole snapped back to reality, seeing Jose Floyd who had unknowingly followed her, she pressed her lips, "Jose Floyd..."
"Where did you go?" Jose Floyd asked lightly.
Actually, he was more eager to ask what had happened to cause her face to look so pale.
Nicole gripped the item in her hand, looking at Jose Floyd, her eyes a bit sore, slowly shaking her head, indicating it was nothing.
"If you don’t tell me, I can investigate it." Jose Floyd glanced at Nicole, his eyes indifferent.
Nicole paused, looking at Jose Floyd, she spread open her palm, her eyes filled with tears, her voice hoarse: "This is the thing the police station notified me to collect today; it’s the clothing found on my brother’s body. At the time, my brother held onto it tightly in his hand and wouldn’t let go. Later, because Bruce Walkers paid money to suppress this matter, the autopsy report and the belongings remained at the police station for all these years before it came into my hands."
Jose Floyd looked at the necklace pendant in Nicole’s hand and said nothing.
