Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 109

Liliana was taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.

“Grandpa, why are you telling me this now?”

Liliana knew the Coopers had adopted Isabella because her parents had done them a great service. It was because of this debt of gratitude that Linton treated her like a real sister, always looking out for her.

“After all these years, haven't you ever been curious?”

Old Mr. Cooper sat behind his desk, stroking his white beard, his sharp, aged eyes filled with a profound meaning.

Liliana lowered her gaze. She had been curious before, but it was more a feeling of injustice. What kind of favor could have been so great that it would make Linton—and the entire Cooper family—go to such lengths?

But now… Liliana had already made up her mind to leave Linton. The truth no longer mattered.

Whatever it was, it wouldn't change her decision.

“Sir, I don’t care anymore,” Liliana said, her voice wavering slightly as she told the truth.

Old Mr. Cooper looked up, studying her carefully. He saw the detached, emotionless expression on her face and knew she was serious. This wasn't a tantrum or words spoken in anger; she truly didn't care.

He let out a heavy sigh, his tone laced with resignation. “Liliana, I know this truth is coming far too late for you, but I still want you to know.”

“Consider it a final piece of closure for your relationship with Linton.”

Liliana fell silent for a moment before giving a hesitant nod. The old man’s words had struck a chord. No matter what, she and Linton had been entangled for so long. Even if she was determined to leave, she couldn't let things end in a fog of ambiguity.

“It was Isabella’s parents who performed the surgery. They not only saved Eleanor’s life, but they also delivered Linton safely.”

Old Mr. Cooper’s voice still held a trace of fear as he recounted the story. “Eleanor’s injuries were severe. No one else in the hospital could handle such a complex surgery. Only Isabella’s parents had the skill to pull both of them back from the edge.”

“They are the Cooper family’s saviors. Without them, Linton would never have been born.”

Liliana’s eyes widened in shock. She never thought that the so-called debt the Coopers owed was something so profound.

She lowered her head, her fingers clenching into a tight fist. It all made sense now—why Mrs. Cooper was so biased towards Isabella, and why Linton had always subconsciously favored his “sister,” even from a young age.

Sometimes, he would even let her feel slighted just to satisfy Isabella’s every wish.
