Chapter 249


    Tina jumped in shock. “What did you just say?” Keith heaved in a deep breath and repeated, “I said, I


    want to go back home to see my parents.”


    At first, Keith was still hesitant to leave. After all, his life with Tina and Kara felt more like aplete


    familypared to his actual home.


    However, he changed his mind when he witnessed the extreme measures his father was willing to


    undertake to achieve goals, as well as the frightful ordeal Tina and Kara had to go through to avoid his


    father.


    After all, Samuel’s name as The Tyrant of Freesia wasn’t for nothing.


    Even in France, he still held considerable power and influence. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to inflict


    harm upon normal civilians like Tina and Kara.


    Keith didn’t want Tina’s family to be destroyed just because of him. Tina asked worriedly, “You were


    abused in that household! If you go back, your life will be in danger!”


    “Mommy’s right!” Kara pulled Keith into a protective embrace. “Don’t leave me! I want to go to school with


    you!”


    Keith made up his mind instantly when he heard their concerns.


    “I’ve lied to you about that. I’m sorry.” “My parents didn’t abuse me in any way. I had a fight with them,


    which is why I decided to leave.”


    Tina frowned.


    It was obvious that Keith was lying. “How do you exin the wounds on your body and the red marks on


    your face?” “They’re from an ident!” Keith replied stubbornly. Tina hesitated, but finallypromised.


    “Fine, then. I’ll let you go.”


    Before Keith could say anything, Tina added, “But I will have to hand you over to your parents personally,


    or else it’s a no-deal.”


    Keith was speechless.


    ‘Is she trying to dig a grave for herself?’ Keith thought about it and agreed. “Okay. I’ll ask them to pick me


    up tomorrow.”


    Both Tina and Kara were reluctant to let Keith leave, but they still understood that Keith would have to


    eventually return to his parents.


    During dinner that night, Tina deliberately prepared a bigger portion for Keith.


    Keith had always been a picky eater. But at that moment, he didn’t reject Tina’s gesture and finished his


    meal obediently.


    After Tina told the kids a bedtime story and put them to bed, she returned to her room. However, Keith


    had already woken up before the sun was even up in the sky. At the break of dawn, he had already


    changed into a suit and tie. One look and you could tell that he was born into a rich family. Keith ced a


    hand-written letter on the table and left the apartment quietly. To him, the small apartment was a ce


    filled with warm and happy memories. Then, he made a phone call to his father. “I’ll give you ten minutes.


    Send someone to pick me up right now!” Shortly after Keith left, Kara woke up from her sleep and


    noticed that something was amiss. “Mommy, Mommy! Keith’s missing!”


    Tina ran into his bedroom and noticed that he wasn’t there.


    Then, she found the letter on the table and ripped it open. For a young child, Keith had very good


    handwriting. “Thank you for taking care of me all these days. I’ve already sent you some money as a


    token of appreciation. I hope I’ll meet you again someday.’ Only then did Tina realize that her bank


    ount had an additional 1.5 million dors. “What on earth happened?” Tina looked through the


    security footage and realized that it had only been ten minutes since he left.


    “I’ll go and look for Keith now! Stay at home, okay?”

    “Okay!” Kara agreed.


    Right now, Tina could care less about putting on a disguise. Anxious, she rushed out of the apartment.
