HappyNovelChapter 778 Why Did You FollowWith his eyes locked on the taxi up ahead, Collin allowed a quiet smile to stretch across his lips. "The kid picked that up from Linsey." The silence that followed was brief. When he finally looked down, he murmured, "She must have gone through hell these past few years." Given the choice, he would have preferred Linsey had leaned on Gorman during her tabroad.
Bringing two children into the world and raising them alone could not have been easy.
From the passenger seat, Dustin glanced over, the confidence in Collin's voice prompting a question. "How do you know Linsey is the mother?" Without blinking, Collin returned the look, his tone steady and firm. "Linsey's the only woman I have ever been with. If it's not her, then who else would it be?" A different face popped into Dustin's mind-the swoman he had seen twice with Zander. Her nremained a mystery, but the memory stuck.
"We'll get answers once we're there," Dustin said quietly.
It wasn't long before their car pulled in behind the taxi at the entrance of a hotel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith his eyebrows drawn together, Collin glanced sideways at Dustin, who looked just as thrown off.
"What's he doing at a hotel?" Dustin asked, confused.
Rather than answer, Collin opened the door. "We'll find out soon enough." Up ahead, Zander was already jumping out of the taxi. The second Collin saw him, the tension in his chest eased.
He had been uneasy ever since Zander insisted on heading back alone. Now, as he watched the boy rush toward the hotel, those worries faded. Without wasting a second, Collin and Dustin followed.
Every step toward the entrance made Collin's pulse pick up speed. He was moments away from seeing Linsey. And if the child was truly hers, then everything would change.
They watched as Zander entered the hotel and stepped into an elevator.
Both men stood at the entrance, eyes fixed on the floor number lighting up above the doors.
"Stay put. If the kid comes back down, letknow immediately." Collin gave instructions to his men before stepping into the elevator.

Without hesitation, Dustin stepped into the elevator alongside Collin The moment the doors opened on the designated floor, they filed out one after the other, scanning each hallway for signs of Zander "You head that way." Dustin said, pointing down one corridor.
A single nod from Collin was all it took before he moved swiftly in that direction.
Uncertainty still lingered. If they did not spot Zander soon, they would be forced to ask the front desk for help.
Linsey would not like either option, whether it was following the child or asking at the front desk.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill, Collin couldn't afford to hesitate. He needed to find her. He needed answers. And he needed them now.
A sudden cry echoed down the hall-fragile, panicked, and unmistakably Zander's. "Mommy Mommy, where did you go? Mommy!"
Collin's heart jumped. He took off in a sprint toward the voice without a second of doubt. He turned a corner and spotted a room with the door thrown wide open, Zander's frantic sobs spilling out from within.
Crossing the threshold without pause, Collin stepped into the room and found Zander stumbling around, red-eyed and disoriented.
"Mommy!" Hearing someone enter, Zander spun around. But the face he saw wasn't the one wanted. It was the bad man. "Why did you follow me?" he shouted, face flushed with rage. "I don't need your help! I don't want you!" A glance around the empty room told Collin everything. The bed was untouched. There was no bags, no trace of anyone else.
Linsey was gone.
Just like before, she left without a word-this tabandoning both Collin and the boy they shared.
