No Strings Attached

"Alright, it's settled then. Transferring your assets through a divorce is safe, and no one will suspect a thing. After all, the York family, the Campbell family, and Clara have lost a lot because of you. It's only fair to
compensate them appropriately."
The two of them then finalized the details of the divorce agreement.
Just then, Dawson came over and handed the divorce agreement to lan. "Mr. Hayes, we've found the cause of the explosion."
lan looked up and asked, "Was it a time bomb?"
"Yes, it's one of the latest miniature bombs. No bigger than a steel plate, but its lethal range extends to about thirty feet. This device was hidden inside a locket Liana gave to the child. According to the video, Ms. Clara wanted to tidy up, but she was interested in the beautiful locket and gave it a few more glances. Luckily, Mr. Casey noticed something was off, grabbed the locket, and ran to the yard. Otherwise, Ms. Clara and the child's lives would've been in danger."
Hearing this, lan clenched his fists tightly. Katherine had given Clara that locket long ago. Ian hadn't realized Connor had set up this trap so far in advance.
Connor always wanted Clara and the child's lives because he knew that only Clara and the child were what lan cared about the most. Taking away someone's most cherished ones was far more aggressive than killing them.
Very well, he would definitely settle this account with Connor properly.
The next morning, Clara was awakened by a loud noise in her dreams. Following that, she felt blood flowing beneath her, and her father was covered in blood from the explosion.
Clara suddenly opened her eyes, only to see lan's face, which bore the marks of time. She immediately knew something was wrong and placed her hand on her stomach.

Although lan didn't specify what happened to the child, Clara understood the implication in his words. She stared at him incredulously. "It can't be. I shielded him with a cushion. He can't be gone, lan. Are you lying to me?"

sliding down her cheeks. lan gently
wiped her tears away, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at her. "Clara TM'm sorry
I failed to protect you and our child. You can hit me, yett at me, just don't hurt yourself, okay?"
