NovelFinishChapter 874:
Dustin shot Collin a surprised look, but Collin seemed calm, as if this was all part of the plan. So, Dustin kept
quiet. It wasn’t his place to explain things to the kid. After all, this wasn't just any kid—he was Collin’s flesh and
blood.
Watching Zander continue with his blocks, Collin casually asked, “Still not going to tellwho your mom is?”
Zander turned, meeting his gaze directly. “Nope!” he replied without hesitation.
The moment he let the word slip, he clenched his fists in his lap. If this man figured out who his mom was, there
was no telling what he would try to do—maybe even take him away from her. That couldn't happen. He wouldn't
let it.
Outside, the sky was deepening into dusk. It was nearly tto head home.
Just then, a memory stirred in Dustin’s mind—the woman he had spotted at the hospital a few weeks back. Back
then, she had been carrying Zander in her arms. No doubt about it now. She had to be the boy’s mother.
“Collin, I'm telling you—I've seen the boy’s mom before,” Dustin said, certainty lacing every word.

That response made Dustin blink. “Wait, what?” he asked, confused. Then Collin turned to Zander and asked in
the scool tone, “Hey kid, is your mom’s nLinsey Brooks?”
Dustin stood there for a beat, wondering if he had misheard entirely. Had Collin really just said Linsey was the
kid’s mother?

With his jaw half-dropped, Dustin struggled to ask if his friend had completely lost it. But then, something
shifted. Zander’s eyes went wide as he stared at Collin, his face frozen with disbelief.
The unspoken message in that look was loud and clear: “How do you know?”
Still, the boy rallied quickly, slipping into an innocent tone as he said, “Sir, who's that? My mom doesn’t go by
that name.”
Collin didn’t blink. His gaze stayed locked on the kid, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
The kid wasn’t telling the truth. That much was obvious. Whether he was making this call on his own or following
a script Linsey had given him, Collin couldn't quite tell.
Meanwhile, Dustin remained rooted to the spot, mentally trying to untangle the mess that had just landed in his
lap.
Collin had somehow realized Linsey was the child's mother, but Dustin had no idea how he had figured it out.
Just recently, Collin had even insisted that Linsey was the one who gave birth to Gorman’s daughter! And now?
Things were spiraling even further into confusion.
