Chapter 125
Meanwhile, Zayn looked at Laura, who was complimented by others.
Laura smiled happily.
He could not help smiling and spoke to Dexter. “Don’t tell Laura that I promised to participate in the show. I want to surprise her.”
Dexter responded, “Okay, no problem.”
In the distance, Winnie and others were in a complicated mood, looking at Laura being surrounded.
Jasper was jealous. “I can also play the piano, but why didn’t I think of playing it just now?”
Winnie glanced at the unhappy Jasper and snorted coldly. “Because you’re like your father. Both are stubborn.”
Then, she looked at Antonio.
Antonio was in a trance and did not notice her gaze.
Laura’s performance so far was perfect.
However, Antonio could not sing. He was tone–deaf like Lilian.
The only advantage of Lilian was too good at sports.
He assumed Laura was only a child active in sports.
However, her potential was more than that.
Laura was like the combination of Winnie and Lilian.
Seeing Antonio in that state, Winnie lowered her eyes thoughtfully and said nothing.
After the Summer Field Day, Laura held Winnie’s hand intently.
Winnie asked patiently, “How are you feeling today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Laura smiled and shook her head. “No! I didn’t feel uncomfortable! I’m very happy!”
Winnie softened her expression and looked at Laura with a more complicated gaze.
Zayn looked at them from a distance.
If his guesses were right, Laura’s mother must have hurt that woman.
He did not know what that woman would do after she knew the truth.
”
The only thing Zayn knew was that if Laura got hurt in the slightest way, he would definitely bring her home and provide her with the best,
Not knowing that Zayn was looking from behind, Laura walked to the car with Winnie.
Everyone at the school gate had left, leaving only them. It was very quiet there.
Suddenly, an unexpected female voice came over. “Are you Ms. Winnie Yale?”

Hearing that, Laura raised her head and saw a woman in janitor’s clothes looking at Winnie expectantly.
Winnie was confused. “Who are you?”
The woman wiped the sweat on her hand and reached out to Winnie. “I’m Lilian’s cellmate! I recognize you at a glance. It turns out that you’re really Winnie. You look much prettier than in the photo!”
Antonio’s heart skipped a beat.
Jasper, Xander, and Everett suddenly became nervous and looked at Laura.
Laura was surprised and wanted to ask if the woman knew her mother.
However, she remembered she could not make a slip, so she hurriedly shut up.
The three boys secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Winnie looked calm and shook the woman’s hand. “I’m her sister. Nice to meet you. Are you working here?”
The woman nodded humbly. “Yes. It’s hard for us to find a job. How’s Lilian doing? Did her mental state become better after getting out of prison?”
Winnie was stunned and dropped her smile. “What do you mean by her mental state? We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Hearing that, the woman sighed pitifully. “She had been in a poor mental state since giving birth, and after her child was taken away by the police. She used to laugh and talk with us. After that, she fought and scolded people every day. The doctor said it was schizophrenia. It was serious. She looked like someone else.”
Winnie’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her eyes turned red.
Laura felt that Winnie’s palm suddenly became cold, so she reached out to hold and rubbed her hand.
The woman was even more surprised when she saw Laura. “Is this Lilian’s kid? What a beautiful little girl!”
Antonio’s expression changed, and he calmly protected Laura behind him. “She’s not Lilian’s child.”
The woman was surprised. “But the kid looks like her.”
She looked at Laura again and asked, “Isn’t your mother Lilian?”
Laura frowned and shook her head, lacking confidence. “No…”
At that moment, Winnie suddenly said, “I’m sorry. She’s indeed Lilian’s child. Since her mother has a criminal record, I’m worried that someone will discriminate against her. Can you keep it a secret?”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Winnie.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Laura could not believe it and withdrew her hand subconsciously.
The woman understood and nodded. “Okay. I’ll stop talking. I still have work to do. Bye.”
Winnie nodded with a smile. After watching the woman go away, her smile disappeared instantly.
Laura took a step back in fear. “Winnie…”
Winnie did not say anything. She turned around and looked at Laura calmly before looking at Antonio.

Then, she raised her hand and slapped Antonio in the face.
The four children took a deep breath.
Jasper panicked. “Mommy!”
Winnie stared at Antonio intently. “Do you know why I slapped you?”
Antonio looked stiff and nodded. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

Winnie looked at him sarcastically. “You didn’t mean it? Lilian has been dead for nearly a month. Are you telling me it wasn’t intentional?”
Antonio was dumbfounded. “I just don’t know how to tell you. I’m afraid you will get triggered.”
Winnie pushed him away. “Triggered? So am I not triggered right now?”
Her voice was anxious and clear, sounding powerful and firm.
“You didn’t tell me when Lilian went insane. You didn’t even inform me when Lilian died and left a child! You know I’ve been looking for her. Why did you team up with the people around me and conceal the truth? Everyone knows, but I don’t! Just because I trust you, you assume you can treat me like an idiot, right?” said Winnie.
Her three sons were so scared that they dared not breathe.
Winnie was never that terrifying.
Antonio was also slightly scared. He calmly held her hand. “Let’s go home first.”
Winnie broke free from him. “No! If the private investigator hadn’t found a clue, I would’ve been fooled by you forever! Antonio Smith, how silly I am! I trust you so much, but you treat me like this!”
Antonio held his breath. “Did you hire a private investigator?”
He thought he exposed himself earlier.
Winnie nodded with tears in her eyes. “That’s right. For so many years, do you think I won’t find her myself if you don’t help me? Lilian didn’t leave any trace. She didn’t want me to find her, so she had been erasing the trail of her life. Now, she is dead, and no one can cover up the traces. I found her because of that!”
Antonio closed his eyes in remorse. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. Laura is not the child I want. I don’t want to disappoint you again!”
Winnie’s expression changed, and she covered Laura’s ears. “She’s the child of Lilian! Do you think you’re that important,
Antonio?!”
Her voice was firm.
