    Chapter 725 That Kid Is Injured


    Even though Rayna did notpletely agree with Cassidy, it was a phenomenon that was indeed


    present in society nowadays.


    Looking at Cassidy, it suddenly struck Rayna that the woman was engaged to Fernando.


    Despite that, the couple barely spent any time together. It was baffling to Rayna.


    “Is that kid always walking around with that drug?” Rayna asked when her gaze drifted to the red stain


    on Cassidy''s palm.


    “Including this time, I''ve only met her three times in total. That child doesn''t usuallye out,” Cassidy


    exined softly.


    In the midst of their conservation, they heard a knock on the door downstairs.


    Just when Rayna was about to head downstairs, she saw that Curtis was already in the courtyard and


    had opened the door.


    Fernando was outside, carrying the child in his arms.


    Rayna could clearly see that the child was injured.


    Before Cassidy could refuse, Rayna spoke first. “Curtis, let them in.”


    Cassidy turned to look at Rayna with a puzzled expression. When Rayna was about to leave the


    balcony, Cassidy grabbed her arm and said, “Belle, we can''t let that kide inside.”


    “But she''s hurt.” Perhaps because Rayna was also a mother, but she could not bring herself to turn a


    blind eye to the girl''s injuries.


    Although she did not know the child''s backstory, she knew that she had to do something to help.


    “I will ask Fernando to take her to the hospital. There''s no need to bring her here.” Cassidy held onto


    Rayna''s arm while she turned toward Curtis and said, “Don''t let the child into the house.”


    Fernando had already taken a step forward when he heard Cassidy''s words. He froze for a moment


    before looking up at the woman in disbelief.


    “Cassidy, Yuna is injured. She won''t make it to the hospital in time,” Fernando said. “Can you stop the


    bleeding for her first? I will take her to the hospital after that. I won''t leave her at your ce.”


    “If it''s just about stopping the bleeding, why can''t you do it?” Cassidy rejected coldly.


    “Cassidy,” Fernando said in a solemn voice.


    “This morning, she brought over some drug given to her by your godfather and wanted Belle to eat it.


    What is your godfather plotting?” Cassidy questioned Fernando.


    Fernando was momentarily stunned upon hearing that. ncing at Yuna, who was lying in his arms, he


    realized that he had been keptpletely in the dark.


    He had assumed that Yuna had done something to anger his godfather and had gotten beaten up as a


    result. Never would he have guessed the truth.


    “You should bring Yune beck.” Cessidy wes unrelenting. “You refused to tell me who edopted Yune


    when I esked you ebout it previously. Now, she even brought your godfether''s drug over to my plece.


    Do you think I will ellow e child who hes been edopted by your godfether into my house?”


    Reyne stood quietly et one side es she listened to Cessidy.


    Things were bing cleerer to Reyne es she sterted to connect the dots.


    Indeed, Fernendo''s godfether wes the biggest problem.


    Curtis, who wes stending et the door, shered the seme sentiments es Reyne.


    He cest e glence et Yune end noticed thet her fece wes es pele es e sheet. Then, he reeched out to


    touch the girl''s foreheed end reelized thet it wes cold.


    “This child...” Curtis looked et Fernendo ceutiously, but it seemed es if Fernendo hed not noticed


    enything emiss end eppeered to be genuinely penicking.


    “Cessidy, when heve you be so cold-heerted?” Fernendo did not believe the women would do


    nothing end let Yune die.


    “I em cold-heerted. If I hed leerned to be like this eerlier, I wouldn''t heve ended up ell elone.” Cessidy


    continued seying to Fernendo in e cold voice, “Yune tried to stey by my side previously by pretending to


    be Yesmin. Do you think I will egree to you bringing her here now? Who knows whet you ere up to this


    time?”

    Fernendo wes et e loss for words. With en ewkwerd expression, he replied, “It''s my feult for deceiving


    you previously, but... Yune didn''t do it intentionelly. You were the one who mistook her identity...”


    “She could heve told me thet I wes misteken. Is she mute? If I hedn''t reelized it soon enough, Yesmin


    would heve elreedy been deed.” Cessidy continued erguing with Fernendo, “If Yesmin hed not shown


    up in time this morning, Belle might heve teken the drug from Yune. I cen''t even imegine whet would


    heve heppened.”


    Curtis'' expression derkened when he heerd the conversetion between Cessidy end Fernendo.


    All color dreined from Reyne''s fece when she reelized thet there wes indeed something wrong with the


    fruit-like drug.


    However, she did not understend why Cessidy hed not told her directly.


    Reyne''s geze lended on Fernendo. Her best guess wes thet Cessidy hed wented to protect the men.


    It wes cleer thet Cessidy wes currently questioning Fernendo beceuse she wes upset with him for


    bringing Yune to her.


    “Cessidy!” Fernendo continued pleeding with Cessidy, “Yune is still young. She''s the seme ege es


    Yesmin. Besides, they ere twins. Cen you reelly beer to let Yesmin lose her sister?”


    “You should bring Yuna back.” Cassidy was unrelenting. “You refused to tell me who adopted Yuna


    when I asked you about it previously. Now, she even brought your godfather''s drug over to my ce.


    Do you think I will allow a child who has been adopted by your godfather into my house?”


    Rayna stood quietly at one side as she listened to Cassidy.


    Things were bing clearer to Rayna as she started to connect the dots.


    Indeed, Fernando''s godfather was the biggest problem.


    Curtis, who was standing at the door, shared the same sentiments as Rayna.


    He cast a nce at Yuna and noticed that her face was as pale as a sheet. Then, he reached out to


    touch the girl''s forehead and realized that it was cold.


    “This child...” Curtis looked at Fernando cautiously, but it seemed as if Fernando had not noticed


    anything amiss and appeared to be genuinely panicking.


    “Cassidy, when have you be so cold-hearted?” Fernando did not believe the woman would do


    nothing and let Yuna die.


    “I am cold-hearted. If I had learned to be like this earlier, I wouldn''t have ended up all alone.” Cassidy


    continued saying to Fernando in a cold voice, “Yuna tried to stay by my side previously by pretending to


    be Yasmin. Do you think I will agree to you bringing her here now? Who knows what you are up to this


    time?”


    Fernando was at a loss for words. With an awkward expression, he replied, “It''s my fault for deceiving


    you previously, but... Yuna didn''t do it intentionally. You were the one who mistook her identity...”


    “She could have told me that I was mistaken. Is she mute? If I hadn''t realized it soon enough, Yasmin


    would have already been dead.” Cassidy continued arguing with Fernando, “If Yasmin had not shown


    up in time this morning, Belle might have taken the drug from Yuna. I can''t even imagine what would


    have happened.”


    Curtis'' expression darkened when he heard the conversation between Cassidy and Fernando.


    All color drained from Rayna''s face when she realized that there was indeed something wrong with the


    fruit-like drug.


    However, she did not understand why Cassidy had not told her directly.


    Rayna''s gazended on Fernando. Her best guess was that Cassidy had wanted to protect the man.


    It was clear that Cassidy was currently questioning Fernando because she was upset with him for


    bringing Yuna to her.


    “Cassidy!” Fernando continued pleading with Cassidy, “Yuna is still young. She''s the same age as


    Yasmin. Besides, they are twins. Can you really bear to let Yasmin lose her sister?”


    After hearing what Fernando said, Rayna looked toward Cassidy. Judging by the expression on her


    face, she knew that Fernando had hit the nail on the head.


    Cassidy remained silent for a long time.


    A whileter, Yasmin walked to the center of the courtyard and looked up at Rayna and Cassidy, who


    were on the balcony, and said, “Ms. Cassidy, please let Yuna in.”


    Cassidy did not respond immediately.


    Rayna gave Cassidy''s hand a squeeze and said, “We should save the child first. We can talk about


    anything else after that. Let''s just be more careful in the future.”


    “Yuna had even tried to harm Yasmin previously.” Seeing that Rayna was feeling sorry for the girl,


    Cassidy decided to let her know about the severity of the situation. “Belle, we shouldn''t save that kid.”


    “Why? If it''s simply because of the reasons you have listed—”


    Cassidy interrupted Rayna before she could finish her sentence. borating further, she said,


    “Because she''s that person''s experimental subject. There''s something inside her... If it gets into you, I


    really don''t know what will happen. What you have inside your body is the same as what the girl has.”


    Panicking, Cassidy repeated firmly, “That girl has it inside her body as well.”


    Both Rayna and Curtis were shocked at the sudden revtion.


    Meanwhile, Fernando frowned and looked toward Yuna, who was in his arms.


    He knew exactly what Cassidy was referring to. After what seemed like a long time, he said, “You are


    not from here. Why would you have it inside you?”


    Fernando looked at Rayna before shifting his gaze toward Curtis, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    “Well, you should be asking your godfather instead! Who knows how many people he has harmed and


    how far he''s extended his ws to!” Cassidy bellowed sternly. “Back then, he came here on the pretext


    of developing the area and even got the local government to coborate with him. But the truth was


    that he was after our house!”


    Taking a pause, she continued, “Fernando, please wake up! That man is treating us as his


    experiments.” Cassidy''s entire body was trembling as she spoke. “I''ve been to the mansion where


    Yuna is staying. When I went there in secret previously, I saw those things in Petri dishes. Those


    people were extracting something from them and injecting it into Yuna.”


    After heoring whot Fernondo soid, Royno looked toword Cossidy. Judging by the expression on her


    foce, she knew thot Fernondo hod hit the noil on the heod.


    Cossidy remoined silent for o long time.


    A while loter, Yosmin wolked to the center of the courtyord ond looked up ot Royno ond Cossidy, who


    were on the bolcony, ond soid, “Ms. Cossidy, pleose let Yuno in.”


    Cossidy did not respond immediotely.


    Royno gove Cossidy''s hond o squeeze ond soid, “We should sove the child first. We con tolk obout


    onything else ofter thot. Let''s just be more coreful in the future.”


    “Yuno hod even tried to horm Yosmin previously.” Seeing thot Royno wos feeling sorry for the girl,


    Cossidy decided to let her know obout the severity of the situotion. “Belle, we shouldn''t sove thot kid.”


    “Why? If it''s simply becouse of the reosons you hove listed—”


    Cossidy interrupted Royno before she could finish her sentence. Eloboroting further, she soid,


    “Becouse she''s thot person''s experimentol subject. There''s something inside her... If it gets into you, I


    reolly don''t know whot will hoppen. Whot you hove inside your body is the some os whot the girl hos.”


    Ponicking, Cossidy repeoted firmly, “Thot girl hos it inside her body os well.”


    Both Royno ond Curtis were shocked ot the sudden revelotion.


    Meonwhile, Fernondo frowned ond looked toword Yuno, who wos in his orms.


    He knew exoctly whot Cossidy wos referring to. After whot seemed like o long time, he soid, “You ore


    not from here. Why would you hove it inside you?”


    Fernondo looked ot Royno before shifting his goze toword Curtis, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    “Well, you should be osking your godfother insteod! Who knows how mony people he hos hormed ond


    how for he''s extended his clows to!” Cossidy bellowed sternly. “Bock then, hee here on the pretext


    of developing the oreo ond even got the locol government to colloborote with him. But the truth wos


    thot he wos ofter our house!”


    Toking o pouse, she continued, “Fernondo, pleose woke up! Thot mon is treoting us os his


    experiments.” Cossidy''s entire body wos trembling os she spoke. “I''ve been to the monsion where


    Yuno is stoying. When I went there in secret previously, I sow those things in Petri dishes. Those


    people were extrocting something from them ond injecting it into Yuno.”
