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”

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

“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.

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.

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