Chapter 133
133 – He Wants My Children
Madeline:
Baxter shifted against the wall, bracing his foot on a stone that stuck out.
He lifted Gina toward me. Her dress clung to her and made her heavier, but I managed to pull her force.
When she reached the grass, she let out a weak cough.
“She is okay,” I murmured, brushing her wet hair from her face.
All three of my children now lay on the ground in a miserable state.

with steady
Now Baxter had to climb on his own. I watched him place his foot on one of the protruding stones for support.
He pressed his hand against a higher stone and reached for a firm grip.
The stone shifted lightly under his weight, but he adjusted and found another place to hold.
“Please be careful,” I encouraged him.
“I know. I just need to keep my grip steady,” he replied.
He was a large man, and some stones slipped under his weight, but he pushed upward, sliding his foot to another
stone.
Eventually, he got close enough for me to reach him. I grabbed both his wrists and pulled with all the strength I had, even though I knew he didn’t truly need it.
With my help, he climbed up quickly.
As soon as he stood on the ground with me, I pressed my hand to his chest as relief washed through me.
But Baxter immediately moved toward the children to check on them.
However, while Baxter was checking on my children, someone else arrived, rushing toward us with the speed of a bullet.
“What is going on here?” Graham yelled as he approached.
As Baxter was busy trying to gently touch Gina’s cheek, Graham came in, pushed him aside, and lifted Gina from the ground.
My body twitched and I reached toward them, but I stopped when Gina began to wake up.
I had not even realized others had come after him, and I could tell they had followed Graham.
It was Lord Eldon and Kaylee.
I stepped toward Graham to take Gina from him, but he raised his palm to stop me while holding her tightly.
She started to wake up, coughing. On the side, Bodhi had also begun to wake, so Baxter moved to comfort him.
“ I don’t like her p>
As soon as Gina woke up, she screamed.

For a moment, everyone went silent. Elara began to wake as well, so I quickly held her in my arms.
She opened her little eyes and looked around, searching for her siblings, then looked at me with worry.
“I don’t like my sister. ”
Gina kept screaming, crying loudly. Graham held her close, but she gave me a puzzled look.
“What is going on here?” he asked, his tone demanding.
“Let go of my daughter. I can take care of my children, ” I told him as I tried to get closer, but because I was holding Elara, Gina crawled back into Graham’s arms, trying to get away from me.
“She is scared of you. What did you do?” Graham remarked, directing his words to Elara instead of me because Gina had complained about her.
“Do not talk to her like that,” I shouted at Graham.
“ Why not, Mommy? She pushed me in the well p>
As soon as Gina said that, I saw Graham’s eyes widen.
“What did she do?” he asked, and I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.
“It is because of the sickness,” I replied, gesturing for him not to react so harshly.
The way he held my daughter and tried to step away while yelling at Elara was making me anxious, and frightening my little girl too.
“You cannot take care of my daughter p>
That was what Graham told me.
And all the years I had spent trying so hard to give my children a secure life flashed before me.
“Fuck off, Graham,” Baxter finally yelled while holding Bodhi tightly.
“Well, you need to put my grandchild down.” It was then Lord Eldon stepped in.

She noticed his son speaking aggressively to me, I guessed he thought he had the freedom to reveal his own
colors.
“He is not your grandchild. These are Madeline’s children,” Baxter yelled, trying to correct the old man.
“No, that is not true. Gina is my daughter,” Graham yelled.
“Yes, it is true. Madeline and I slept together a few years ago, and she came to me saying she was pregnant. So yes, I am saying it clearly. I demand a DNA test. And while the test is being done, I am keeping my daughter with me,” Graham shouted, leaving my jaw hanging.
Kaylee gasped, covered her mouth, and stepped back while Lord Eldon smirked.
“Well, you heard him. Now put down my grandchild p>
I noticed Lord Eldon was strangely focused on Bodhi alone.
“You are seriously going to take my child from me?” I hissed at Graham, and I was sure he could see the tears gathering in my eyes.

“I am not. You are the one taking them away from yourself. All you have to do is accept me if you want to stay in the lives of your children. Our children,” Graham replied, pointing at his chest.
“What are you saying, Graham? What about me?” Kaylee tried to step in, but Lord Eldon gestured at her with his hand, warning her not to interfere.
“You have lost your mind,” Baxter remarked to Graham, who began to shake his head aggressively.
“No, I am waking up now. Either you accept me or I am taking Gina from you,” Graham retorted, once again proving that his rejection in the past had been the best thing that ever happened to me.
Had I found out later how toxic he was, I would have been trapped with him.
