Chapter 16
“Vivian, pack up. I’ll rescue Samuel. When I have him, I’ll send you all away. Time was of the essence, and James had to make arrangements immediately. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
School was over, or Averie wouldn’t have gone to pick Neil up. James hurriedly checked the electronic map from the kindergarten to the Monroe family’s villa, looking for a way to intercept them
James had considered that, given no choice, he would rush to the villa for Samuel. He had to send Vera and the children back to the Ford family
territory before Carlos knew the truth. Carlos couldn’t reach them there.
James wasn’t afraid of what Carlos would do to him. The Ford and Monroe family had long been at odds. He didn’t mind adding to the score
Vera’s gaze was fixed on her children. After panicking, she blamed herself for nearly missing out on her oldest son. She forced herself to calm down and figure out the safest way to save Samuel.
“Mummy, are we leaving?” Catherine came over and hugged Vera’s leg. She was reluctant as she had gonen along well with her daddy last night. “What about Neil‘ Neil grew up with Daddy. Is he coming with us too?” Catherine’s innocent question was like a blow to Vera, awakening her instantly.
Her two children were willing to go with her, but what about her eldest son Carlos had raised Neil.
Vera walked toward Neil and crouched before him. Neil was still crying, and when he saw Vera coming, he turned away angrily.
Vera’s heart ached. Tm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have scolded you, I didn’t expect you to be alive. Do you know how happy I am…
“Mummy, Neil-” Catherine pointed to her ears, then her mouth, and shook her hand. Neil was deaf and mute and couldn’t hear Vera.
Vera’s heart ached even more. Her other two children were healthy, so why was her eldest born deal and mute! She hugged Neil tightly from behind. tears flowing down her cheeks. She owed Neil too much.
Neil pouted unhappily but because distressed when he saw Vera crying. He tumed and wiped Vera’s tears, signaling her to stop crying.
Vera felt a piercing pain in her heart and continued to apologize.
Catherine also rushed over and hugged Neil, crying together. “What should we do! Can we get back Samuel?
Just then, they heard a muffled noise outside the children’s room. It sounded like James had kicked a table leg. Something must have happened
Vera quickly wiped away her tears, told the two children to stay put, and went out. “What’s wrong. James?
“I had sent everyone near the kindergarten to intercept them, but that bitch changed her route and went straight to the Monroe Group. It’s only a twenty–minute drive from the kindergarten. “James couldn’t redeploy his men now.
They couldn’t possibly rush to the Monroe Group for Samuel. If they did that, they would likely harm innocent people in the process. The Ford family wouldn’t do that.
“Then don’t intercept them” Vera made up her mind. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it shocked James.
James turned around, seeing his sister’s determined gaze. He was puzzled. “What do you want to do, Vivian? Don’t you want to save Samuel?
