Chapter 552: Chapter 555: David Redington and Ford Family’s Hatred (2)

Blake didn’t dare say too much, but he wanted to say a few words in defense of the Duke and Madam.

After thinking carefully, he decided to shift the blame onto the Ford family.

“Young Master, actually…the Madam and Duke, they were also in great pain back then. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s the Ford family…”

“If it wasn’t for the Ford family, the young lady wouldn’t have died shortly after birth. And that Bella Scott, who was involved in those shady things, even had someone perform rituals to transfer the young lady’s life to her own daughter, which is outrageous…”

“Enough—” David Redington suddenly interrupted Blake’s words.

He didn’t want to go through those painful and unbearable memories again.

Back then, he was just a few years old.

His parents fought, his mother got angry and left to live with her sister.

Only after leaving did she found out she was pregnant with a child.

When Sylvia Scott was living with the Ford family, Bella Scott also happened to be pregnant. The two women had prenatal checkups and awaited their deliveries together.

Everything seemed fine at first.

But then, the children were born.

Sylvia’s child, his own younger sister, died due to a difficult birth.

While Bella’s child was born safely, who later became Lily Gray.

Because of this, Sylvia almost had an emotional breakdown.

She even resented her own husband, Duke Redington, because of this.

Duke Redington, in order to win back his wife, left a young David to live alone in Europe.

He then began his journey chasing his wife for several years.

It wasn’t until years later that they reconciled and investigated the events of that year.

They found out that during Bella’s pregnancy, it was discovered during a checkup that the fetus was in a dangerous position.

At that time, Bella secretly invited a high monk from T Country to perform rituals.

The blessings of the child in Sylvia’s womb were transferred to her own child.

Such superstitious things were not originally credible.

But when the two children were born, the initially healthy one died young while the originally sick one was born healthy.

Who wouldn’t believe the effects of those rituals after seeing such a result?

Because of this, the Reddington family severed ties with the Ford family.

And because of the early death of the sister and the young boy who lost the love and care of his parents and developed autism.

He hated his own parents deeply, hated the Ford family, and the root cause of it all.

“Blake…” David barely awoke from the depths of pain.

His gaze still fell on the television.

But his eyes were empty, without any focus.

The man’s hoarse voice was low, “No matter what, the child is innocent. No matter how complicated the adult world is, the baby in Lily’s womb is innocent… That child must be protected.”

The sister who died young.

From a young age, he lived in a world of cold indifference.

David deeply understood the feeling of experiencing a bleak childhood.

That’s why he temporarily let go of his hatred after learning of Lily Gray’s pregnancy.

No matter what, he would protect Lily Gray and ensure her child’s safe birth.

As for the rest, he would settle it personally with the Ford family after the child’s birth.

The next day, an unexpected person appeared at the Gray family home.

Lily Gray was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly felt something ticklish on her face and couldn’t help but open her eyes slightly.

“You…”

She almost thought she was seeing things.
