Chapter 143 Why Should I Give Up
As they were talking, Alicia came home with the children.
“Mommy!”
The moment Tina saw Courtney, she plunged into her embrace and cheered. On the other hand, Jordan looked exhausted. Dragging his feet, he went straight to the sofa and sank himself into it. He clung to Courtney’s arm, looking as if he was going to fall asleep on the spot.
“This kid is too weak. We only ran for a while. How can he be so tired already? He has been spoiled.” Alicia appeared to be disappointed by his performance.
Slightly speechless, Courtney patted Jordan’s head and explained, “It’s not his fault. He has been weak since young. After that high fever he got when he was younger, he couldn’t speak anymore. Ever since, his physique has been particularly weak.”
“He couldn’t speak because of the high fever?” Alicia put her drinking glass aside and stared at Jordan thoughtfully. “He never spoke after that?”
Courtney knitted her brows. “He didn’t stop talking completely. From what I heard from Alexander, he spoke twice this year.”
“I think there’s more to it.” Alicia gave her a long, deep look. “The Duncan Family is prestigious, and Alexander is the only child. If the family becomes extinct after Alexander, many people will benefit from it. I don’t think this kid can grow up safely.”
Upon hearing that, Courtney was dumbfounded. She looked at her aunt in disbelief.
In the past, her grandfather told her that Alicia had had a child before, but no one knew how she lost it. However, after that incident, William and Stephen, whose families had been close to each other, stopped seeing each other. It was only until Stephen’s divorce and remarriage that both families reconnected.
Courtney did not know much when she was young. Nevertheless, when she looked back at what happened back then, it sent chills down her spine.
Most people would lose their rationale in the face of huge amounts of assets.
