Chapter 4

James arranged a very low–profile place 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 and Vera each had their own room. The remaining room was the study.

it of the

James didn’t want to squeeze in with them, but his parents had warned him, “If Vivian or the children get a 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, and chefs lived in the other apartments. Even the security guards in the

neighborhood were replaced by the security team from the Ford family to ensure their safety.

Vera returned suddenly when James and 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 ice cream and ran to the bathroom, closing the door.

“Mommy! You’re back? The two children approached Vera eagerly, wanting a hug.

“Have you been behaving? Vera looked at the cute and handsome face of Samuel. He was a smaller version of Carlos. Vera was grairful that her children could grow up in a loving family and wouldn’t turn into a cold and devious scumbag like Carlos.

“You must wear a mask when you are out. You can only take it off 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 have to wear masks when we go to kindergarten the children asked. They would be going to school next Monday

“Just say you have a 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 of Hiyon, and 100 many people knew him. Vera wouldn’t make her children go to such trouble otherwise.

Samuel added, “When we eat, we can sit in the corner and face the wall. That way, others can’t

n’t spot us.”

Samuel was not only smart but also meticulous. Vera was reassured to have him take care of Catherine. “I knew you two are the best.” Vera scanned the surroundings and asked, “Where’s your uncle?”

“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 play” Then, she went to the study with James.

The children saw their serious expressions. After the study’s door closed, Catherine muttered, “Samuel, are they referring to the Monroe family of our scumbag father?”

Samuel replied, Besides them, who could make Mommy and Uncle James so nervous!”

Catherine looked at the closed door and poured. “Mommy doesn’t tell us anything…”

“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 glanced 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 was startled. She thought she had been found

Vera studied medicine under a renowned doctor since young. She was already very skillful before dhe fell into the sea 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 a child. James replied

“A child?” Vera frowned. “Whose child?”

Carlos was the only son of his parents, but he had numerous relatives. 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 has been deaf and mute since birth. The Monroe family took him to a lot of doctors, but he couldn’t be cured”

Vera wanted 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…

“Vivian, you’re not thinking of saving that child, are you?” James grew anxious. He interrupted sternly. “You must think it through. Our plan 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 alive 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 can’t let you risk it” James thought and eventually came 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! We can’t even reach hurn, Vera replied

The Monroe family is powerful. They can find him if they’re hell–bent on it. That’s 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 relative, Carlos wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to find you.”

Vera’s face darkened gradually.

James couldn’t bear to see her hurt. He covered his mouth. “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*****d. I’ll castrate him” Vera made a culling motion

James instinctively protected his crotch. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

At the

same time, in the Monroe family’s villa, Carlos sneezed. He had already obtained a rough location of Ramon. He enlarged the electronic map, divided the area, and ordered, “Go find him. Send out all available personnel. Spare no effort to find Dr. Miracle”

“But you are going to take action in three months…” Adam Parks, Carlos’s assistant, was worried that they would not have enough people then.

“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 that Neil wouldn’t live his tenth birthday.

Carlos refused to accept it. Vera was so kind and adorable. Her son should live a long and healthy life.

“Yes, sir” Adam immediately went to make arrangements.

Before Carlos could relax, 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 a rage, especially when he saw the photos of the ruined grave. The fire had consumed everything that belonged to Vera. The wedding dress and the scarf were the only things he had left of her.

Averie wouldn’t let it go and sent h

sent her agent to destroy it! How bold of her!

“Bring him here. And get Averie 100, Carlos demanded

Half an hour later, Averie arrived in a hurry She thought Carlos finally remembered her andidst his busy schedule. She was very excited and

Carlos threw the photos of Vera’s destroyed grave at her. “Look at what you’ve done?”

Averie was confused. She looked at the photos and shouted, “Who did that?”

Avene knew how important Vera was to Garlin, even ugh Vera had died many years ago. No mayer how jealous Averie was, she avoided the topic of Vera.

“Sull portending?” Carlos’s puze turned to the agril

ལ་་་ན”

Vera explained hastily. “Someone took compromising 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 blackmail

Averie panicked. “Carlos, believe me. It’s true.”

Carlos wrapped his hand around Averie’s neck. “I’ve e warned yo

you not to touch Vera’s things. I can raise you to stardom and crush you too!”

Averic couldn’t breathe. She kept shaking her head, terrified to tears. She did not dare to do something like that,

“Haven’t you learned your lesson” Carlos’s eyes were bloodshot. He lost control and increased the pressure.

Carlos had chosen Averie as a cooperative partner because she saved his and Vera’s only child. He provided Averie with resources, made her into an A–lister, and gave her everything she wanted. However, Averie should never assumed she could replace Vera and be his wife.
