Carlos didn’t expect Neil to bite him so hard. Neil refused to let go even when Carlos bled. Carlos had no choice but to release Vera.

Freed, Vera collapsed on the bed and drew in lungfuls of air as she coughed.

Neil also released Carlos. However, he didn’t even glance at his father. He turned to console Vera, looking at her anxiously.

Vera was Dr. Miracle and had learned how to hold her breath before. She knew how to protect herself when someone was strangling her and how to treat herself after. She quickly recovered and held Neil’s hand gently, letting him know she was okay.

However, Neil stared at the strangulation marks on Vera’s neck and burst into tears. When Neil saw Samuel in the afternoon, his marks had already improved, but it still frightened Neil. Neil couldn’t believe his usually kind and loving dad would harm Samuel. Now that Neil witnessed Vera being strangled, he hated Carlos so much he decided to ignore him from now on.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Don’t cry. I’m fine, really.” Vera hugged her eldest son, whom she had just reunited with, and comforted him softly. She considered Neil’s feelings for Carlos and defended Carlos. “Your dad was just playing around with me. It was an accident. Don’t be mad at him.”

But Vera hadn’t recovered. Her voice was still h**se, and she was still upset. Her words, meant to soothe Neil, only made Neil cry even louder.

Carlos couldn’t care less about his injury. He wanted to take Neil from Vera to console him. However, Neil resisted vigorously. Every time Carlos reached for him, Neil would wave his tiny hands, signaling him to stay away. It was blatant that Neil detested him.

Carlos regretted his actions deeply. No matter what, he shouldn’t have used such brutality against a woman before Neil. But he had no other choice. If he hadn’t protected Neil so well-in the past five years, Neil might have fallen victim to the mastermind.

“You better leave. I’ll take care of him.” Vera glanced at Carlos. Despite Vera’s hatred for Carlos, she couldn’t deny that Carlos had taught Neil well. After finally reuniting with Neil, Vera couldn’t bear to see Neil saddened again.

Carlos still didn’t trust Vera completely. Until he was a hundred percent sure, he wouldn’t trust anyone.

Vera grew

tient. “After I calm him down, you can explain things to him. As a father, you should understand how to care for a child’s emotions.”

Carlos was taken aback. Vera seemed to understand how to love a child better than he did.

Carlos stood up reluctantly, intending to leave. Just then, Dayton rushed in. “Mr. Monroe, Mr. Ford is here. He brought a lot of people with him.”

James had come with bodyguards to take them away when Carlos hadn’t released them.

Carlos glanced at Vera. “Stay here.” Then he left in a hurry.

Vera paid no attention to Carlos. Her top priority now was to comfort Neil. Vera cherished Neil very much. Although Neil wasn’t dead as she had thought, Neil was severely ill.

James had already smashed four antiques in the living room, leaving a mess on the floor. The s**ts dared not approach.

“Stop! Mr. Monroe is coming,” Dayton shouted. He had served the Monroe family for many years, and this was the first guest who had been so bold.

“There you are. I though you’d continue to hide,” James mocked when he saw Carlos. He smashed another antique. “Where’s my nephew? I’m taking him away.”
