I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272

Collin only calmed down slightly when Jaxson appeared at the door. His thin and weak body curled up in the blanket, his little face pale, seeming afraid of others getting close,

“Collin, look, Jaxson came to see you.”

Caroline reached out to touch his head, but he dodged and turned to cuddle into Jaxson’s arms.

Caroline’s face stiffened imperceptibly and she gave a helpless smile, “Collin has a stress reaction. He doesn’t let anyone, including me and the bodyguard, get clow,”

Jaxson stood by the bed and let him hold her, with just a slight frown on her brow.

Collin held him not saying a word.

After a while, Jasson grasped his small, frail shoulders, bent down to meet his gaze, and spoke gently, “Collin, don’t be afraid, Uncle is here.”

Collin came to his senses in a daze, nodded, but his eyes were filled with confusion about the future.

Caroline walked up to his side and said, “Jaxson, Collin has been resisting others from getting close to him since the last fall incident. He even distanced himself from me, but I didn’t expect him to still rely on you as always.”

Jason slowly got up and said, “You are his mother, shouldn’t he be closer to you?”

She felt a sudden pang in her heart, clenched her fists secretly, and felt wronged, “I don’t know either, maybe it’s because the child resents me. If I hadn’t let him stay with me that day, maybe that wouldn’t have happened.”

Jaxson didn’t answer, he just looked at Collin on the hospital bed.

Collin pinched the quilt, with a blank expression, not saying a word. His round chubby face seemed to have become thinner than a normal child’s at some point. Looking at Caroline, she was still radiant from head to toe, with a lively spirit. With her conditions, it was impossible for her to raise a child

like this

He couldn’t help but wonder how she took care of the children.

Jaxson’s scrutinizing gaze made her feel a little anxious, afraid of being found out, Jaxson, I have indeed neglected Collin because of my busyness. recently. If Collin is with you, I think he should come out.”

He remained silent for a long time before speaking, “Caroline, was Collin really pushed down the stairs by the two elders of the Sutton family?”

He had Cynthia investigate, the surveillance was just right, and there was no one around, only a café employee as a witness, who said the child was pushed down the stairs.

Jaxson, why would you ask that? Caroline’s expression stiffened, with a hint of grievance on her face. “Are you doubting that I lied to Collin?”

She dared not ask, not even dare to have any hesitation in her thoughts.

He didn’t answer, just reached out and stroked Collin’s head, his tone softened a bit, “Collin, can you tell Uncle?”

Collin recalled that day, his face devoid of any color.

His eyes involuntarily glanced at his mother, clutching his clothes tightly, lowering his head, and his voice as thin as a mosquito, “It was.. they pushed

me

Caroline was pleased.

She was satisfied with her little cub“, which was indeed worthy of being her offspring.

Jaxon stopped asking and instructed the bodyguard to come in and pack up his things.
