The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 128

Worried about a misunderstanding—after all, Evelyn was the boy’s grandmother—Sheridan decided to call his own son.

Joseph was still politely conversing with the police officials when his phone rang. He used it as a perfect excuse to bid them farewell.

“Hello, Dad…”

“Joseph, Chaim’s grandmother is at the hospital. She couldn’t find him in his room, so she asked the nurses and ended up finding us.”

Before his father even finished, Joseph turned to look at Vivica.

“Alright, I understand. Ms. Lynn is with me now; we just left the police station. I’ll ask her what she wants to do.”

Vivica’s eyes widened in shock. “My mom found your parents?”

Keeping the line open, Joseph asked her directly, “Your mother wants to see Chaim. Is that okay?”

“Hold on,” Vivica said. “I’ll call her back. I’ve declined her calls a few times.”

Joseph relayed the message to his father. “We’ll wait for Ms. Lynn to handle it.”

Vivica immediately dialed Evelyn’s number. The moment the call connected, Evelyn started shouting. “Vivica, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to disown your own parents? You don’t answer my calls, you don’t reply to my messages, and you fire the nanny without telling us a thing! You’d rather leave your son with strangers than ask your own mother and father for help.”

Vivica’s good mood, buoyed by the successful negotiation, instantly evaporated. “Mom, I’m at work. I don’t have time to argue with you. Thank you for visiting Chaim, but I have everything under control. You don’t need to worry. Please go home.”

Her tone was sharp, but it wasn’t born of disrespect. It was a defense mechanism forged from years of painful experience. She worried her mother’s sudden kindness was a prelude to some new demand, with Chaim as the leverage. The safest course of action was to keep her away from him—unless she herself was present.
