Chapter 3 Mommy’s Tender Embrace 

“What… what are you doing? Are you trying to hit me again?” Landon puffed up his tiny chest. His big eyes flickered nervously, revealing how fearful he felt. 

“Landon, can I take a look at you?” Keira’s voice trembled slightly. She crouched down and looked into Landon’s eyes 

Whenever Landon saw Keira, she was always hysterical and even threw things at times. This was Landon’s first time seeing Keira speak so gently to him, and he hesitated. Experience told him the woman before him had malicious intentions and was untrustworthy. 

“Don’t think Daddy will believe you just because you put on an act before him!” Landon growled at Keira furiously, baring his teeth when he recalled how Keira had spilled water and almost scalded his sister. She’s still holding a weapon in her hands. I don’t know what she wants. 

Victor was squeezing Landon’s tender, delicate arm, which was starting to hurt. Landon sensed what his dad was thinking and shouted anxiously. “Daddy, don’t let her trick you! Don’t you remember that she previously poisoned your food and abandoned Lune?” 

Victor felt distressed upon seeing Keira’s eyes redden. As a result, he reprimanded Landon harshly and sternly. “Landom Byrom! Get out!” 

to 

“Daddy! Landon stomped his feet in exasperation. Daddy is always wise, ingenious, and in control, but he keeps falling into this woman’s traps. What is Daddy doing? Did that woman win him over with a few sweet words? 

Victor suddenly had a fierce expression. He was always impatient when it came to anyone other than Keira. Landon closed his eyes in fright and curled up when he saw Victor’s large hand rising. Still, Keira rushed forward instinctively to protect Landon 

“Victor, you can’t hit him! The woman’s clear voice rang. She had a determined gaze as she firmly held Landon’s chubby little figure in her arms. Keira’s bright eyes narrowed anxiously, and her gaze toward Victor was slightly aggressive, like a mother lion protecting her cub, 

Landon suddenly fell into a soft embrace. All he smelled was a gentle fragrance. He was stunned, and his round eyes widened subconsciously as he looked skeptically at Keira, who was protecting him. Is Mommy protecting me? 

He had fantasized countless times about his mom gently holding and protecting him when his dad was angry with him. Still, he had never expected it would actually happen. Is this a dream? He was choked up and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was forcefully pulled aside before coming to his senses. 

Keira felt lost when her arms suddenly felt empty. She turned and looked to the side unconsciously. 

The little boy who barged in had features similar to Landon. The only difference between them was the former had an indifferent gaze. Despite his young age, he seemed as mature as an adult. It’s Lucien! Keira couldn’t help but take a step forward. Lucien Byrom sensed Keira approaching and pulled Landon back. 

“Lou!” Landon snapped back to reality. Large tears started streaming down his face when he thought about what had happened. 

Lucien held Landon’s hand and massaged the red marks around his wrist, which Victor had squeezed. He whispered, “Come with me. We don’t need to worry about what’s happening here. 

“But Daddy And Mommy… Landon hesitated. 

Lucien thought Landon was worried about Victor. He held Landon’s hand firmly and said coldly, “He’s happy here! Why do you care 

Lucien felt his tone was too harsh and feared upsetting his younger brother, who was prone to tears. He sighed and persuaded Landon softly. “Lune will wake up soon. She’ll be scared if she can’t see you when she wakes u

Upon thinking of his little sister’s tearful expression, Landon immediately stopped crying and followed Lucien while looking back intermittently. 

As Lucien led Landon past Keira, he never glanced at her. It was as if he hadn’t seen her. Lucien’s indifference hurt Keira immensely. She gripped her fists tightly to compose herself until it hurt. Keira used all her might to restrain her emotions. and stop herself from breaking down.

Victor couldn’t quite understand how Keira felt about the three children. He looked at Keira’s swollen eyes and remembered how she had protected Landon earlier. Didn’t she often say the children were annoying and wanted to send them away? “If you don’t like them, I’ll have someone send the three children to the villa in the outskirts tomorrow, Victor suggested. 

“No… It’s not that!” Upon hearing this, Keira quickly denied it. “I don’t dislike them!” 

In her previous life, the children were sent away after she kept pestering Victor to do so. Victor was focused entirely on her and didn’t pay 

much attention to the children. Therefore, Keziah took advantage of this and ultimately kidnapped and killed Keira and Victor’s children. Keira couldn’t make the same mistake in this life. 

you. 

“So why are you crying?” Victor looked at her skeptically. 

She turned, wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes, and approached Victor to continue treating his wounds. Her voice was still tearful and exceptionally soft. I feel like a jerk. How can I leave such a bad impression on the children?” Sniffing, she looked up at Victor firmly. “They’re our kids, so I’ll cherish them, love them, and never let them suffer again.” 

Victor’s gaze gradually darkened. The Keira before him seemed to be different from before. 

The butler came to report, “Dr. Pinazzi has arrived.” 

“Victor! Didn’t you use the things I gave you? Otto Pinazzi’s clear voice rang before he arrived at the room. “I told you to take it easy at night, but you kept asking me to come over. Don’t you know that I have a social life?!” 

Keira’s figure stiffened when she heard it as she stood at the side. 

She was always in her most miserable state every time she saw Otto. Whenever she angered Victor, he kept losing control and tormenting her. She often got injured due to her intense resistance, and Victor frequently called Otto in the middle of the night to treat her injuries. 

Otto initially instructed his assistant to provide Victor with various supplementary medicines and supplies, explaining how he could injure Keira less. However, Keira frequently got hurt, and Otto started getting impatient. When Victor asked Otto to treat Keira, Otto would only instruct his assistant to bring along ointment for her. 

Keira’s face flushed a crimson red when she thought about it. 

Entering the room, Otto saw Keira standing beside Victor tearfully, holding a blood–stained cotton ball in her hand. 

“D*mn! What happened?” Otto quickly approached. He composed himself and began examining Victor’s wound. “You guys have such peculiar quirks!” It sounded like he was joking, but his voice was icy. However, Otto wasn’t kidding. When he saw Victor’s arm bleeding, he immediately thought to himself. Keira must have stabbed him with the scissors. After all, she’s done such things before. 

However, after careful examination, Otto had a peculiar expression. “Is this a stab wound or a gunshot wound?”
