Chapter 1067: Chapter 1094: Dispute Over the Child (5)

Jax Jackson’s fever affected his intelligence, making him slower than his peers. If placed under Lydia Williams’ care, could he avoid suffering?

Just thinking about it made Koa Jackson frown.

Mia Ginger looked at his expression, feeling a bit put-on-the-spot.

After all—

His biological father is alive and well, fully capable. There’s no reason for this child to be raised by his half-brother, as Zane Jackson clearly stated, he had already received approval from the elder.

She pressed her lips together, pondering, as Lydia Williams smiled and said to Koa Jackson, "It’s good for Auntie to raise him. But if you’re not thinking for yourself, you should at least consider Mia. Your taking care of Jax will certainly create misunderstandings when the time comes to send him to kindergarten. There will be gossip, and the Ginger Family’s parents will definitely mind."

Lydia Williams hinted at Aiden Jiang and Aurora Cooper.

Mia Ginger raised an eyebrow, speaking in a light tone, "My parents know, it’s fine."

"That’s what you say, but if this matter involves anyone, it will make them uncomfortable, right Sister Daniella?" Lydia Williams turned her head to seek Daniella Jackson’s opinion, looking incredibly gentle.

Daniella Jackson smiled but hadn’t spoken yet when Bryan Jackson suddenly stood up coldly and said, "He’s born from a lowly woman, why should we raise him?"

"Shut up!"

"Bryan!"

Zane Jackson and Lydia Williams’ expressions changed drastically, feeling extremely displeased.

Mia Ginger glanced at Bryan Jackson, raised her hand to rub Chancellor’s head, and said nothing.

Two years had passed, and Bryan Jackson was now in fifth grade, yet it seemed he hadn’t grown at all. Like Marianne Jackson, one impulsive and irritable, the other naive and easily deceived; ultimately, neither showed any sign of intelligence whatsoever.

"Mom!" Bryan Jackson was scolded by them both and his face turned sullen, complaining, "Why should we raise him, I don’t want to live with him."

"Listen!" Lydia Williams gave him a cold look.

Bryan Jackson pressed his lips tightly, gave Jax Jackson a hard glare, turned around, and ran out.

"Marianne, go check on him," Lydia Williams instructed Marianne Jackson.

Marianne Jackson pressed her lips together and went after Bryan Jackson. The hall fell quiet again, as Koa Jackson looked at Zane Jackson and said calmly, "You should properly manage your two children; how can you spare the energy to take care of Jax?"

"..." Zane Jackson’s expression turned dark.

Lydia Williams quickly chuckled awkwardly, "Bryan has been spoiled by me; he has no filter but isn’t bad at heart. His tantrums are just temporary, it will pass soon and doesn’t matter."

Koa Jackson clasped his hand on his leg, suppressing his displeasure.

The atmosphere was tense when suddenly the ringtone of a phone echoed in the ears of everyone.

Mia Ginger pulled out her phone, glanced at it, and smiled at Koa Jackson, "I need to take this call."

Koa Jackson nodded.

As she left, Chancellor followed her out. One person and one dog went outside into the garden; Mia Ginger answered, "Hello."

"Where are you?" Camden River asked her.

"At home." Mia Ginger smiled a little, probing, "Do you have something to celebrate? Did you buy a house?"

"..." Camden River was stunned, "You sure are smart."

"Didn’t you mention it last time you called?" Mia Ginger explained with a grin, "Staying at a hotel and looking at houses; I figured it wouldn’t take long, right? Are you celebrating soon?"

"Yeah." Camden River responded, "Do you have time tomorrow at noon? Planning to celebrate then."

Mia Ginger thought briefly, "I can. Send me the address on my phone later."

"Sure." Camden River agreed, then changed the subject, "I actually called you to discuss something else. You still remember my graduation thesis, right? I went to the prison this morning specifically to get materials on your classmate’s case and unexpectedly found out that all three criminals had died."
