Chapter 4
James arranged a very low–profile ce for Vera and the two children to stay. It was a four–bedroom apartment with two living rooms, located in a mid–range neighborhood.
The two children shared one room,
am, while James <b>and </b>Vera each <b>had </b>their own room. The <b>remaining </b>room was the study.
it of the
James didn’t want to squeeze in with them, but his parents had warned him, “If <b>Vivian </b>or the children get <b>a </b>scratch, we’re kicking you out
Thus, James had no choice but to stick to them and take care of them.
James had bought the entire apartment building. The bodyguards, drivers<b>, </b>and chefs lived in the other apartments. Even the security guards in the
neighborhood were reced by the security <b>team </b>from the Ford family to ensure their safety.
Vera returned suddenly when <b>James </b><b>and </b>the two children were eating ice cream happily.
Samuel and Catherine became anxious. They didn’t know where to hide the ice cream. James decisively took the remaining <b>ice </b>cream and ran to the bathroom, closing the door.
“Mommy! You’re back? The two <b>children </b>approached Vera eagerly, wanting a hug.
“Have you been behaving? Vera looked at the cute and handsome face of Samuel. He was <b>a </b>smaller version of Carlos. Vera was grairful that her children could grow up <b>in </b>a loving family and wouldn’t turn into a cold and devious scumbag like Carlos.
“<b>You </b>must wear a mask when you are out. You can only take <b>it </b><b>off </b>at home,” Vera couldn’t help but remind them again.
Vera’s younger daughter, Catherine, resembled Vera more. Vera wasn’t worried about Catherine. She was more concerned for Samuel, Carlos mus not know about Samuel
“Mommy, do we <b>have </b>to wear masks when we go to kindergarten <b>the </b>children asked. They would be going to school next Monday
“Just say you have <b>a </b>cold, and keep them on except when you eat.” This was the disadvantage of bringing them along. Vera was afraid she would miss something.
After all, Carlos was a prominent figure in the business world <b>of </b>Hiyon, and 100 <b>many </b>people knew him. <b>Vera </b>wouldn’t make her children go to such trouble otherwise<b>.</b>
Samuel added, “When we <b>eat</b>, we <b>can </b>sit in the corner and face the wall. That way, others <b>can’t</b>
n’t spot us.”
Samuel was not only smart but also meticulous. Vera was reassured to have him take care of Catherine. “I <b>knew </b>you two are the best.” Vera scanned the surroundings and asked, “Where’s your uncle?<b>”</b>
“Vivian, I just got some important news. Before James could destroy the “evidence” of the ice cream, he rushed our of the bathroom. He lowered his voice deliberately, “It’s about the Monroe family”
Vera frowned and let go of the two children. “Go y” Then, she went to the study with <b>James</b>.
<b>The </b>children saw their serious expressions. After the study’s door closed, Catherine muttered, “Samuel<b>, </b><b>are </b>they referring to the Monroe family of our scumbag father?”
Samuel replied, Besides them, who could <b>make </b>Mommy and Uncle James <b>so </b>nervous!”
Catherine looked at the closed door <b>and </b>poured. “Mommy doesn’t tell us <b>anything</b>…”
“I know how to get around that” Samuel raised his eyebrows. He took out a pair of wireless earphones and handed one to his sister.
Catherine did not expect Samuel to bug the study while she was pestering James for ice cream.
Samuel interrupted before Catherine could speak. “Hush” Samuel nced warily at the study. He pulled his sister away to the children’s roo
They brand James’s anxious voice through the carpliones. “The Monroe family is tracking your whereabouts, or rather, of Dr. Miracle. But they knew nothing about Dr. Miracle”
Vera <b>was </b>startled. She thought she had been found
Vera studied medicine under a renowned doctor since young. She <b>was </b>already very <b>skillful </b>before <b>dhe </b><b>fell </b>into the <b>sea </b>and lost her memory. After being rescued by James, Vera worked hard to recover and care for her two frail children. She studied medicine diligently, not expecting herself to be known as someone who could perform miracles.
“Why is the Monror family looking for me? Vera asked.

“To help <b>a </b>child. James replied
“A child?” Vera frowned. “Whose child?”
Carlos was the <b>only </b><b>son </b>of <b>his </b>parents, but he had numerous rtives. The child could belong to any of them
James shook his head. “Not sure. I only know it’s a boy about five or six years old. He <b>has </b>been <b>deaf </b><b>and </b>mute since birth. The Monroe family took him to a lot of doctors, but he couldn’t be cured”
Vera <b>wanted </b>to say that this was retribution for the Monroe family, but when she heard that the boy was around the same age as Samuel, she couldn’t steel her heart. The child is innocent…
<b>“</b>Vivian, you’re not thinking of saving that child, are you?” James grew anxious. He interrupted sternly. “You <b>must </b>think it through. Our n has just been set in motion. Once Carlos finds out you’re still alive, what will he do to you and the two children?”
Carlos was willing to burn them <b>alive </b>then. Now that he was about to marry Averie, he wouldn’t show mercy.
Vera’s heart clenched. She sighed. “You don’t know Carlos. He’s a hound. Once he de
decides on something, he won’t give up”
“But I <b>can’t </b>let you risk it” James thought and eventually <b>came </b>up with a solution. “Isn’t Ramon your student? Let’s give his information to them”
Ramon Ford was the son of Vera’s oldest brother and was six years younger than Vera. He showed talent in medicine and studied under Vera. Ramon had learned a lot from her
“Didn’t he go to help out in a tribe in Firene<b>! </b>We can’t even reach hurn, Vera replied
The <b>Monroe </b>family is powerful. They can find him if they’re hell–bent on it. <b>That’s </b>settled” James went quiet. In the end, he couldn’t help voicing his concern, “Vivian, what if the child is Carlos’s b****nd” [[ he’s the child of a rtive, Carlos wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to find you.”
Vera’s <b>face </b>darkened gradually.
<b>James </b>couldn’t bear to see her hurt. He covered his mouth. <b>“</b>I should shut my trap. How can Carlos have a b*****d? If he did. Averie would have killed the kid long ago-”
notion with her fingers.
“If he’s Carlos <b>b</b><b>*****</b>d. I’ll castrate him” Vera made a culling motionThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
James instinctively protected his crotch. Hell <b>hath </b>no fury like a woman scorned!
At the
same time, in the Monroe family’s vi, <b>Carlos </b>sneezed. He <b>had </b>already obtained a rough location of Ramon. He erged the electronic map, divided the area, and ordered, “Go find him. Send out all avable personnel. <b>Spare </b>no effort to find Dr. Miracle”
“But <b>you </b>are going to take action in three months…” Adam Parks, Carlos’s assistant, was worried that they would not have enough people then.
<b>“</b>It’s still early. Let’s locate Dr. Miracle first. Neil can’t wait any longer, Carlos stated. His son’s condition had been deteriorating. Neil Monroe was born deaf and mute, but now his taste and vision were worsening. The doctors asserted <b>that </b>Neil wouldn’t live his tenth birthday.
Carlos refused to ept it. Vera was so <b>kind </b>and <b>adorable</b>. Her son should live a long and healthy life.
“Yes, sir” Adam immediately went to make arrangements.
Before Carlos could rx, he received a call from the cemetery. “Sir, your wife’s grave had been destroyed. Miss Powell’s agent was responsible, but he refused to admit to it. He’s now detained. What should we do, sir?”
Carlos flew into <b>a </b>rage, especially when he saw the photos of the ruined grave. The fire had consumed everything that belonged to <b>Vera</b>. The wedding dress and the scarf were the only things he had left of her.
Averie wouldn’t let it go and <b>sent </b>h
sent her agent to destroy it! How bold of her!
“Bring him here. And get Averie 100, Carlos demanded
Half an hourter, <b>Averie </b>arrived in a hurry She thought Carlos finally remembered her andidst his busy schedule. She was very excited and
Carlos threw the photos <b>of </b>Vera’s destroyed grave <b>at </b>her. “Look at what you’ve done?”
Averie was confused. She looked at the photos and shouted, “Who did <b>that</b>?”
<b>Avene </b>knew how important Vera was to Garlin, even ugh Vera had died many years ago. No mayer how jealous Averie <b>was</b><b>, </b>she avoided the topic of Vera.
“Sull portending?” Carlos’s puze turned to the agril

Vera exined hastily. “Someone tookpromising photos of me and lured him to the cemetery”

“Where’s the evidence?” Carlos’s men had checked the agent’s phone, but there was no trace of the so–called ckmail
Averie panicked. “Carlos, believe me. It’s true.”
Carlos wrapped his hand around Averie’s neck. “I’ve e warned yo
<b>you </b>not to touch Vera’s things. I can raise you to stardom and crush you too!”
Averic couldn’t breathe. She kept shaking her <b>head</b>, terrified to tears. She did not dare to do something like that,
“Haven’t you learned your lesson” Carlos’s eyes were <b>bloodshot</b>. He lost control <b>and </b>increased the pressure.
Carlos had chosen Averie as <b>a </b>cooperative partner because she saved his and <b>Vera’s </b>only child. He provided Averie with <b>resources</b>, made her into an A–lister, and gave her everything she <b>wanted</b>. However, Averie should never assumed she could rece Vera and be his wife.
