A crisp sound echoed in the spacious playroom.
The children were stunned, and even Ramon was cumbi
of her mind? Ramon thought.
However, a single slap couldnât dissipate the anger in Veraâs heart
never expected Vera to actually slap Carlos. Is she out
You injured my son, and you think a casual apology can make it right? So, I give you a slap. Is saying âTâm sorry enough?â
Vera was uncontrollably furious. âTâll say sorry a hundred times, and Iâll compensate you with 20 million dollars. I want one of your handsâ
A loud sound was heard. Carlosâs fist grazed Veraâs car and struck directly into the wall behind her.
The glass of the decorative paintings was shattered by the force of the punch.
Vera was shocked, and she instinctively fell silent.
Carlosâs knuckles were cut and bleeding from the shattered glass yet he seemed oblivious to the pain. His gaze was chillingly fixed on Vera
Vera was intimidated by the intense stare and couldnât help but feel scared.
She forgot that he was like the terrifying king of hell, capable of striking fear into the hearts of everyone in Hiyon.
Carlos remained silent, examining Vera with an authoritative gaze.
Terrified, Vera bowed her head and couldnât resist the cold stare. She felt like she was about to crumble under that gaze.
Just as she was about to give in, a pair of small hands gently shook Carlosâs thigh.
Carlos looked down and saw Neil using sign language to plead for mercy for Vern
For a brief moment, Carlosâs gaze softened. Yet, how could he tolerate such a presumptuous woman?
Catherine, despite her fear, timidly ran over and hugged Carlosâs thigh.
âCarlos, your hand is bleeding. Does it hurt? You should bandage it to stop the bleeding. Donât blame my mommy. She did it to protect my brother.â
Catherineâs soft and pitiful voice softened Carlosâs heart.
He moved the bleeding hand behind him and, with the other hand, gently stroked Catherineâs little head. âIt doesnât hurt.â
âHow could that be? Let me blow on it Catherine grabbed Carlosâs injured hand, blowing on it with concern.
Ramon took our alcohol swabs and medical tweezers, playing his role as a doctor. âThere are glass shards in your wound. They have to be removed immediately, or your wound will get worse.â
Carlos probably worried that Catherineâs blowing might result in glass shards getting into the wound, so he agreed to let Ramon clean the wound.
The process of cleaning was evidently ore painful and prolonged than he hurt his hand.
Ramon was extra careful because, in all his experience, he had never seen anyone endure wound cleaning without howling in pain. Some men would scream louder than little girls.

Unexpectedly throughout the entire process, Carles didnât even furrow his brows.
No matter how tease the pain, he endured it.
This corned Ramon a hint of admiration. Despite Carlos being coundrel, he was a tough man in certain aspects.
Catherine covered her eyes and dared not look but encouraged Carlos with afraid. When your hans is bandages. Iâll bay you something delions. I have a
Her words almost made Ramon drops what he was holding
cent childâs voice, âCarlos, donât be of pocket money, and I can keep youâ
ven Carlos couldnât help but chuckle, âCatherine, do you know what keepâ means?â
