Chapter 18
Samuel was <b>just </b>a five–year–old child. He could not escape from Carlos’s powerful grip. Carlos only <b>had </b>to squeeze slightly, and Samuel’s neck would be broken.
Samuel couldn’t
Carlos’s hand,
breathe.
He stared in disbelief and terror at Carlos. How could he be his biological father<b>? </b>Tears rolled <b>down </b>his cheeks, falling on
“Speak!
! You can
can talk, can’t your Carlos’s <b>voice </b>was ster
However, his hand trembled <b>as </b>if he was holding hot coals. His grip weakened. After all, he had <b>treated </b>Samuel as his son, and Samuel looked like Neil. Carlos couldn’t bring <b>himself </b>to do it.
Averie burst loudly into tears then, wailing, “Poor Neill Where could he be?” Averie wanted Carlos to kill the brat. Without any leads, they wouldn’t be able to find Neil, and Neil would ultimately die.
<b>Carlos </b>thought of Neil <b>and </b>increased his strength, lifting Samuel even higher.
Samuel kicked out desperately, his tiny <b>face </b><b>turning </b>dangerously. His tears made his <b>vision </b>blurrier. Samuel missed his mommy and her warm embrace. He wanted to hear his mother calling his name softly.
There was a knock on the door. <b>Adam </b>shouted, “Mr. Monroe, Dr. Miracle is here. There’s hope for Mr. Neil
Carlos’s heart stung with each mention of Neil. Neil was the only connection he had left of Vera. Now that Neil was missing. Dr. <b>Miracle </b>was useless
“Scram!” Carlos roared. Not only did he frighten the people inside, but he also scared Adam and Vera behind him.
Her mother’s instinct told Vera Samuel was inside. She pushed <b>Adam </b>aside and opened the <b>door </b>at once.
The scene Vera <b>saw </b>made her fly into fury. The scumbag who wanted to burn her alive five <b>years </b>ago now wanted to strangle her child to death. <b>Shaking</b>. Vera yelled, “<b>Stop</b>!” She ran over and knocked over Carlos.
If Vera had <b>a </b>knife, she would not hesitate to stab Carlos to save Samuel.
<b>There </b>was <b>a </b>loud bang as Carlos was knocked onto the couch. The heavy couch shifted from the impact.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Vera and Samuel fell. She reached out to catch Samuel’s tiny body.
Vera’s heart ached at the sight of the red marks on Samuel’s neck. Tears flowed down her cheeks while she tried desperately to save him.
Carlosy sprawled on the couch and touched his dizzy head,
Averie hurried over, eximing anxiously. “Carlos, are you <b>okay</b>? Are <b>you </b>hurt?”
Then Averie red at Adam. “Didn’t you hear Carlos? Why did you let this crazy woman in! Get rid of her at once”
Averie still remembered Vera, the woman whopletely overshadowed her at the <b>airport</b>. How could Averic allow <b>a </b>woman who was prettier than her to appear before Carlos<b>?</b>
“Madam, who <b>are </b>you calling crazy? Watch what you say?” A tall, handsome young man behind Adamn spoke angrily, defending Vera. He crouched down to <b>assist </b>Vera in treating Samuel. He gently held Vera’s trembling <b>hands </b>and spoke softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
<b>Carlo’s </b>gaze fell on their <b>linked </b>hands, and his eyes suddenly became icy. How were they rted?
