Chapter 231: He Should Protect Her Well


    "I know it now."


    In a few short minutes, Kane''sposed himself back to his old, cold and calcting self.


    He stood up and left with purposeful strides.


    Chris watched him, fingers clenched tightly around his cane.


    Soon after, Tim Holt, Chris''s butler, entered.


    Upon observing the strange look on his master’s face, he inquired with concern.


    "Is everything all right? How is Mr.Kane? How did the girl know what was going on? Even we didn''t."


    He fired off one question after another.


    The most pertinent question, however, he saved forst.


    Chris''s expression turned icy.


    "I do not know.Perhaps, Kane''s killing of the dog was not the first murder she had witnessed."


    "What do you mean by that?"


    Tim pressed, intrigued.


    "When Rufus Rory brought his wife over, Kane was just ten years old.It was at that age when he killed


    that dog.After that, Rufus seldom let his daughter visit us."


    "So, when Mr.Kane identally murdered at age eleven, the girl shouldn''t have seen it.How could this


    be?"


    the butler reasoned, intent on solving this mystery.


    Rufus Rory was Amora''s father.


    During that unfortunate incident when Amora caught a glimpse of Kane''s illness taking over, it had


    scarred her, which was why they do not visit as they used to.


    Rufus did not explicitly state his reasons for the reduced frequency of visits, but it was not subtle to the


    average observer.


    Kane was eleven when he started his treatments.


    But how on earth did the girl know about what happened there? The timeline doesn''t add up.


    The only people who knew about this were Tim, Mr.Ronin Sr., and the doctor.


    To tie up loose ends, Chris had the doctor taken care of.


    So how did she know? How was it possible that the sweet, obedient boy turned into one with deceit


    and rebellion in his heart? Had he neglected his son? Chris cast an eye towards the door through


    which Kane had departed with uncharacteristic ferocity.


    In a ward at the People''s Hospital in town, the three children stood staring at their mother with a heavily


    bandaged head.


    Tears ran freely down their cheeks.


    "This is all Daddy''s fault.Why couldn''t he rescue Mommy earlier? I told him she was in danger,"


    Matteo cried.


    But underneath his grievous appearance, for the first time, he felt disappointment towards their father


    who couldn''t even protect one woman.


    "Guys, I think we should get another daddy,’ Vivian sobbed.


    "He can''t even protect Mommy.Let''s go to Uncle Solomon, okay?"


    Her brothers stared at her in disbelief.


    At this moment, Kylo entered with Amora''s medication.


    His knees buckled when he heard Vivian''s proposal.


    "Children, let us all calm down.This incident happened so quickly; it caught your fatherpletely


    unaware.If he had known, he would have done everything in his power to prevent that from happening


    and keep your mother safe."


    "Would he really?" Matteo asked.


    "Of course, Mr.Matteo.Do you remember who rescued you when you were kidnapped?"


    Kylo liked Matteo because he was the smartest child, and also because he was the easiest to lead into


    conforming among the three.


    Sure enough, at those words, Matteo began to doubt his earlier assertion.


    "And you, Mrn,"


    Kylo continued, taking advantage of the moment.


    "You''ve seen it with your own eyes how your father treats your mother.When your mother took you


    away to Yartran, who appeared when she was being bullied?"


    He said nothing.


    Kylo turned to Vivian.


    Of course, she did not mean what she said about changing her father.


    Solomon was no rtion of hers; she spoke figuratively.


    But it was the intensity of her speech that struck Kylo the most; it was a huge contrast to her simple


    mind.


    When he approached her, Vivian ran to her mother and clung on to her.


    "Don''t try to change my mind.I don''t like him! It was because of him that Mommy keeps getting hurt


    over and over again.Uncle Solomon would never allow that.I want him!"

    She spoke so loudly that Kylo covered the space between them in two strides and sped her mouth


    shut.


    "Alright, youngdy.Say no more, we will go to Uncle Solomon right now, okay?"


    He was mortified that Kane, who was at the doctor''s office, woulde back and hear her.


    With Vivian in his arms, Kylo marched out of the ward.


    Her brothers followed suit.


    When Kane returned to the ward, having obtained thetest updates from the doctor, there was no one


    in there except the unconscious Amora.
