The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 608: Great Day

Charlotte held Cheyenne’s hand worriedly while Lucas stood behind her, supporting her tacitly with his strong and muscular arms.

After feeling the silent support of the closest people around her, Cheyenne had a warm feeling in her heart, and she could better withstand the incident.

“What about afterward?” Cheyenne stood still and took the initiative to ask.

“Afterward…” With a trace of agony in his eyes, William continued, “Later on, two days before Karen’s due date, she had a sudden fall and started bleeding heavily on the spot. I rushed her to the hospital, and it took painstaking efforts to rescue her, but the baby passed away two days after she was born…”

His eyes were red too. After all, it was his firstborn child, and although it had been many years, William still felt devastated when he recalled how he felt when he lost his child.

Cheyenne and Charlotte were both silent.

Cheyenne was especially empathetic because she had also gone through lots of danger when she was pregnant with Amelia. She had even almost experienced a difficult labor, so she could understand very well how agonizing it would be to lose a child.

“Karen suffered such a huge blow that she wept and cursed every single day, demanding that the doctor return the baby to her. She even became more and more irrational. At the time, we couldn’t even have a proper conversation with her, and she started to kick up a ruckus as soon as she heard our voices. Only later did the doctor tell me that she was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. She was miserable because of the loss of our child, so I could understand how she felt. Even though her personality changed a little afterward, I couldn’t say much to her.

“She was in tears and agony every day then, and she even attempted suicide. But on the day we left the hospital to go home, we saw a baby beside a garbage can near the hospital. The baby was you.”

William looked at Cheyenne, and the scene of Cheyenne as an infant laying by the roadside vaguely surfaced in his head.

Cheyenne’s body tensed up as she continued listening to William speak.

“When Karen saw you, she immediately ran over and picked you up, and she kept saying that you were the daughter the doctor had made her lose. At the time, she was in a dangerous psychological condition, so we brought you home and raised you as our own.

“Three years later, Karen became pregnant again with Charlotte.

“In the past few years, a lot of things happened, and I didn’t fulfill my duties as a father. I’ve neglected you two greatly, and Karen… has also become increasingly boorish and mercenary. All she cares about is money. Kinship and our marriage probably gradually dissipated in her eyes.

“But I didn’t notice it, and I failed to show you and Charlotte more love and concern. It’s all my fault too!”

William spoke seriously and looked at Cheyenne with an apologetic gaze.

“Cheyenne, I can assure you that I have always treated you as my daughter. And in my heart, both you and Charlotte are equal. I love you two equally, and I definitely won’t abhor you or resent you!

“Karen… has already been bewitched. Besides, she’s extremely indignant about her current plight. That’s why she said those things to agitate you. Don’t take to heart what she said! No matter what, you are still my daughter!”

Charlotte grabbed Cheyenne’s hand tightly and said with an equally serious face, “Me too, Cheyenne! No matter what, you are still my sister! We will always be a family!”

Cheyenne felt extremely touched, and tears welled up in her eyes.

In fact, she should have been an orphan who had been abandoned.

William was the one who gave her a home, and he had always been nice to her since she was a child. At the very least, everything he gave Charlotte, he gave her too. William had never shown any favoritism toward Charlotte or loathed her.

Cheyenne and Charlotte were about the same age, and due to Karen’s negligence toward the two of them since they were young, they had always only had each other to rely on. Thus, they supported each other throughout their growing years and were extremely close to each other.

With these two family members who loved her wholeheartedly, she felt that it didn’t matter that she wasn’t biologically related to them.

When she thought of this, her panic and anxiety vanished like a puff of smoke.

There were still tears on her face, but her lips were now curled up into a warm smile of relief. “Yes, we’ll forever be a family like we always have and always will be!”

Lucas smiled. “Yes, we will always be a family!”

Cheyenne, Charlotte, and William were all smiling warmly, looking relieved.

Moreover, after today’s incident, they had become much closer to each other than before.

——

Although it had been an eventful day, William had finally regained consciousness, and Karen had finally faced her retribution and was put behind bars. Amelia was still safe and sound, and even the Carters’ secrets and differences had been resolved.

Needless to say, it was indeed a day worth celebrating.

If not for the fact that William’s injuries hadn’t healed yet and he still had to recuperate in the hospital for a while, they would have gone to a restaurant to celebrate.

After dinner, Cheyenne followed Lucas back to the lake villa because William had already awoken and didn’t need them to stay by his side all the time.

After washing up, Cheyenne blushed shyly, but she nevertheless snuggled up into Lucas’s embrace without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

“Honey, thank you for doing all of this for me! And… I love you!” Cheyenne wrapped her arms around Lucas’s neck and kissed him coyly.

Lucas looked at the woman in his arms with a tender and fiery gaze and gradually tightened his embrace around her. He could barely stop himself.

…

It was a passionate night!

The following morning, Lucas looked at the dainty woman who was still sleeping soundly while nestling in his arms. The corners of his mouth curled into a gleeful smile.

They had finally become the most intimate couple!
