James didn’t hesitate. He turned his back to the explosion, shielding his sister and nephew. 

ne was injured. 

Their bodyguards saw what happened and quickly ran over, using explosion–proof umbrellas to protect them. Fortunately, no one was However, Neil, having experienced so much in a short time, was frightened and cried continuously 

James comforted Neil while administering the antidote to his sister. Then he took them to the hospital. 

Vera’s antidote was very effective. She woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital and was found to be okay. The wound on her arm was not deep and would heal in two weeks. 

Once Neil saw that his mommy was okay, he stopped crying. With Vera holding and comforting him. Neil quickly started giggling. 

James, however, was almost scared out of his wits. Their parents couldn’t know, of course, James considered it and made a call to his elder brother. “Let Ramon come to Hiyon as soon as possible. I’m afraid something else may happen” 

It would be handy to have another doctor like Ramon around. Their oldest brother naturally had a way to contact his son. He had a walkie–talkie to stay in contact with family wherever he went 

James!” Vera shouted abruptly, 

James hung up the phone hurriedly and entered the hospital room. “Both of you are staying under observation here today, no arguments“– 

Vera asked, “Where’s Catherine! 

ne? Why don’t I see her? I called her, but her phone is off 

James wa 

was in shock, thinking he had lost his niece. Then, he remembered, “Catherine called me and said she went off with the Monroe family’s kid 

to play 

“What?” Vera became so anxious she almost jumped out of the hospital bed. She had just rescued her son from Carlos, but now her daughter was at 

Removing her IV needle, Vera rushed out of bed, not even bothering to put on shoes, 

James pushed Vera back into bed. “Calm down.” 

Vera shook her head. “How can I calm down? Don’t you know who Carlos is? He has an illegitimate child now. What if he discovers Catherine is… I have to go get her back!” 

Vera had been injured and poisoned and focused on her son’s safety just now She neglected the fact that Carlos had an illegitimate child. 

Now that Vera had calmed down, it hit her. The only reason Carlos would leave work during office hours was for his biological son. Moreover, Carlos mistook Neil for Samuel, so they had to look incredibly alike. 

Vera checked Averic’s medical records a few days ago. When Averie was abroad, she had an abortion, but there was no record of childbirth. This mrant Carlos was with another woman around the time she gave birth. 

“If someone has to go get Catherine, it should be me. You can stay in the hospital. James’s anitude was firm 

Meanwhile, Catherine, who was in the Monroe residence for the first time, had already toured the villa with Samuel. She was treated as an esteemed guest, with meticulous and attentive service to ensure she felt at home 

“Do you like it here? Carlos asked affectionately as he sat beside Catherine. Sumusel, on the other hand, seemned neglected. 

“Yes, Mr. Monroe. The snacks are delicious Catherine happily nodded. If she had known her dear daddy would be so good to her, she would have 

visited him HIDDIET. 

“Eat slowly. They’re all yours” Seeing jam smeared on Catherine’s lips, Carlos grabbed a tissue and carefully wiped her mouth. He took great care to 

“Thank you” Callerine tilted her little head and glanced sneakily at Carlos. He was just like a bigger version of her brother. He didn’t seem fierce. Carlos was also tall and big, like the magician who could conjure delicious treats for her, along with dolls and toys. 

“You’re such a good girl” Carlos lovingly stroked Catherine’s soft hair, his eyes tearing up 

Carlos was stunned when he brst saw Catherine. Her tiny eyebrows and facial features were almost identical to Vera’s Vera had been pregnant with three children, and according to the ultrasound, our of them was a daughter. 

Carlos had fantasized countless times about how adorable and clingy their daughter would be. Haven secretly practiced tying a girl’s hair and imagined braiding their daughter’s hair every day 

Moreover, Catherine was exacly five years old. Even more surprising was that she had the same last name as Vera. If their daughter were still alive,

she would probably look like her. 

Samuel suddenly coughed. Catherine came back to her senses. She was so engrossed in eating that she forget the task her brother entrusted to her 

Catherine smiled sweetly at Carlos. “Where is Neil’s mommy. Mr. Monroe? Is she not at home?” 

Carlos’s eyes darkened. The wound in his heart ached again. He forced a smile after a while. “She went somewhere very far away” 

Catherine glanced in Samuel’s direction and continued. “When will she come back?” 

Carlos felt his pain worsening. “She didn’t say” He regretted deeply not explaining his plans to Vera and instead said many hurtful things to her. Vera must have died lating him. 

“She didn’t say?” Catherine scratched her little head, unsure of what to ask next. She thought slightly and went on. “You can call her and ask 

Carlos merely smiled. He could only see Vera in his dreams now, but even then, Vera would turn her back angrily on him. 

Samuel blinked quickly at Catherine. He would have asked those questions if he weren’t pretending to be Neil. 

Their scumbag dad was extremely good at lying. He was the one who told the evil woman to burn them and their mommy alive, yet he was pretending now, 

“Is Neil’s mommy pretty! Do you have her plioro? Do you like her? Do you treat her well? When did she leave? Have you looked for herf” Catherine, sprouted a series of questions, sturing at Carks with beautiful eyes that resembled Vera’s, eagerly y awaiting his answers- 

For a moment, Carlos even felt like Vera was interrogating him. Vera had loved him so much and gave everything for him. Why did he mistreat her when she was alive? Carlos had even asked for a divorce before she died. He was responsible for the anguish Vera had feli
