Chapter 7

She was as pretty as a doll. Looking at her face simply made Liam’s heart melt. 

“Jovie, now that I’m back, you’ll be a little princess from now on. Nobody will have the guts to call you a b*stard anymore. I’ll protect you and your mother from now on. No one will dare to bully you anymore,” said Liam. 

His gaze turned frosty when he mentioned the word b*stard. His daughter should be the most precious little princess in this world. How dare they bully his daughter like this? 

Because of his neglect in the past few years, his daughter was harmed. A sense of guilt washed over Liam because of that. 

With a catch in his throat, he said, “Dr. Jensen, I’ll leave it all to you. Regardless of what the future will be like, I just hope Jovie can be fine now. Everything else is not a problem. Just let me know if you need anything.” 

Dr. Jensen had never seen Liam so humble before. He shook his head and said, “You’re too kind. This is something that I should do. I’ll do my very best to treat Jovie. Don’t worry and just leave it to me.” 

Liam carefully carried Jovie and put her on the bed for her to go get her surgery. He kissed her forehead, then he stepped aside and watched Dr. Jensen wheeled the bed out of the room. 

There were still important matters to be handled at that moment. 

Liam composed himself a little, then he turned to ask Calum, “What have you found out?” 

Calum and the others already changed out of their military uniforms so it would be easier for them to move around. 

Standing at the side, he quickly reported to Liam about the information he found out, “The person who deliberately orchestrated this is Trent. He’s from the Walker family in Drunham City. He even specifically asked to have Jovie severely injured in this car crash. He wanted to use this to threaten Mrs. Cole and make her submit to him. He ordered his men not to let Jovie get treatment after Mrs. Cole left.” 

He should be addressing Celena as Mrs. Cole, should he not? Celena already gave birth to Liam’s child, so it should be right to refer to her as his wife. 

While Calum was thinking about that in secret, the word just rolled off his tongue the more he said it. 

“The Walker family? Hmph! I haven’t even gone after them, yet they are already dying for me to finish them off. It’s time for them to pay for what they have done!” Liam bellowed. He had a murderous intent and he exuded an icy air all over him. 

“What about Celena? Where is she now?” Liam asked. 

He became much gentler at the thought of Celena. When he thought of her, who was youthful, beautiful, and full of life, he felt incredibly guilty. 

He wondered how she pulled through all these years while taking care of Jovie all by herself. She probably would have resented him. 

Liam already felt that he wronged Celena, but what Calum would say next immediately made Liam blow his lid. 

“She’s been taken to the Nightwalker Club by Trent. Also-” 

Calum glanced at Liam and saw that his expression darkened. He then chose to only talk about the main points as he continued, “After Mrs. Cole’s family found out she was pregnant seven years ago, they deemed her as promiscuous and kicked her out of the family. They even removed her from the family tree. 

“Mrs. Cole was taking of Jovie by herself all these years, so life hasn’t been good. You can even say it was quite miserable. 

“Because of what happened back then, Trent took a fancy to Mrs. Cole. After she left her home, he would occasionally help her out when in fact, all the treatment Mrs. Cole received was arranged by him. 

“Half a month ago, Trent wanted Mrs. Cole to be his mistress, but she refused. Trent was infuriated, so he arranged for someone to run Jovie over. He then used Jovie’s treatment to blackmail Mrs. Cole.” 

Even a tough guy like Calum could not help but shed a tear when he saw all the information. Jovie was just a six-year-old child, yet Trent was able to do such a heinous thing to her. He truly was a vile creature! 

Calum stole a glance at Liam and saw that his expression was beyond darkened. The last time he had such expression was a traitor among the Pendragon Warriors who sold the troop’s locations to the enemy. 

Liam’s gaze turned cold. With a strong intent to kill, he headed out and ordered, “To the Nightwalker Club!” 

The Walker family was truly something else. Not only did they betray Liam’s family back then, but they were also harming his daughter and Celena at that moment. 

One by one, Liam would slowly settle the score with them for everything they did.
