“If you want to save your son, you have to marry my brother.” Maria smiled sinisterly, looking horrible,
“The only thing you can do right now is to get in the bridal room and finish what was not done the last time.”
Cormac’s expressions darkened, “Do you want to die?”
“Yeah, I am tired of living ever since you broke our engagement. Everyone in City B knows that I am a discarded woman. I have lived enough! She looked at Cormac like a crazy person, “You are too cruel!”
Her gaze turned to Loredana, “Don’t be too happy thinking he will like you. If he can abandon me, he can also abandon you!”
“He is heartless, cruel to his core. I lived with him for so many years…” She began to cry.
She cried very loudly.
While they were confronting each other, suddenly there was a loud bang. The passenger seat door of
Sampson’s car was removed violently.
Samuel was snatched from Sampson’s arms before he could react.
Everything happened in a moment.
While no one was paying attention, someone sneaked in and violently removed the car door.
“Samuel.”
Loredana ran over quickly, seeing the blood on his face she almost fainted. She hesitated for a moment and then ran over to him.
“Samuel, Samuel.” She reached out to touch his hair, his cheeks. She held his head upwards, “Look at
Mommy, Samuel.”
Boyce personally came to handle the situation, so naturally he succeeded very easily.
He, Armand and Cormac were roommates from there days in university.
They were also Cormac’s only two friends.
Now they all had their own career.
Their careers were going smoothly. Armand was a well-known lawyer, Boyce Shawn had also become the Chief of Criminal Police.
The only thing that wasn’t going smoothly was their love lives.
Armand was a playboy, he had quite a few ex-girlfriends, an Boyce had never dated in his life.
Boyce walked towards Cormac, “Leave him to me, you take her back first.”
Abbott had explained the situation very clearly to him.
He had also told him exactly what to do and made all the arrangements.
Now was the time to deal with the aftermath.
“I’ll leave it up to you then.” Cormac patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry, everything is arranged!” Boyce said.
Cormac walked over to Loredana, trying to hold Samuel for her. She avoided him, “No.”
When she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was trembling.
She didn’t need someone else to hold her son for her.
She could hold him herself.
“I will take you to the hospital.”
Once arrived at the hospital, Samuel was sent to the examination room.
Because Loredana mood was so unstable, the doctor didn’t let her in.
She leaned against the wall of the corridor; without the support of the wall she might not have been able to stand.
Cormac sat on the chair at the side, not persuading or comforting her.
After seeing the blood on Samuel’s face, she was already on the verge of collapsing and now even a small matter could make her completely collapse.
Suddenly the door of the examination room opened and the doctor walked out. He took off his mask and asked, “Who is the family member?”
“I am.”
Loredana walked over quickly and asked anxiously, “Is he okay?”
“Superficial wound, he knocked his head somewhere which caused the bleeding. I have cleaned the wound and his face needs to be iced for a bit to calm the swelling. I will prescribe the medicine; you can take it from the first floor. You can take him home.”
“Thank you. Thank you.” Loredana repeatedly thanked him and ran into the examination room. Samuel was lying on the bed and the blood on his face was already cleaned. His face was still swollen, five fingers printed clearly on it with bandage on his forehead. He was awake.
Seeing Loredana, he called, “Mommy!”
“Samuel!” Loredana rushed over to hold his hand. Fortunately, he was okay.
She stretched out her hand with teary eyes and gently held his face, stroking his cheek with her thumb in distress, “Thank God! You are okay.”
“Nothing will happen to me.” Samuel reached out to wipe the tears that fell from Loredana eyes,
“Mommy, don’t cry, I am completely fine.”
Loredana lowered her head and buried her face in his embrace, her shoulders trembling slightly.
She let out a muffled whimper.
Cormac stood at the door of the examination room, looking at them.
He had never seen Loredana cry like this, sobbing and swallowing her tears.
She could only swallow her tears, not daring to cry loudly for the fear of affecting Samuel.
His heartstrings seemed to have been touched suddenly.
His eyes looked deep as he looked at them
Samuel made the ‘OK’ gesture with his fingers at Cormac at the door.
He smiled.
Cormac also smiled and responded with the same gesture.
Then he walked in, “We can go back now.”
Loredana lowered her head, wiped her face and then picked up Samuel, “Come on, Mommy will take you home.”
Samuel hugged her around the neck, feeling her warmth.
When they arrived on the first floor, Cormac went to get the medicine. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. It was a message from Boyce.
He clicked to see the message: [Watch the news.]
Then there was a link to a news article.
He clicked it open.
It contained a large eye-catching picture of the scene of rescuing Samuel in that village. The title reads:
City B’s jewelry tycoon, the Herbert siblings kidnap five-year-old child to blackmail!
With the internet so fast, as long as there’s a little disturbance and someone uploaded it on the internet, it was bound to spread soon, especially if it was about the rich and powerful bullying the common people.
This kind of news was easily going to attract attention, especially because the victim was a five-year-
old child.
The blood on Samuel’s face in the photo stirred up a lot of people’s pity.
Including those arranged by Abbott, the comments were all one-sided.
[The Herbert family bullied a child, was their conscience eaten by dogs?]
[In this society, being rich and powerful means that you can rely on your money and bully even a child?
Why didn’t he die? People like him should be run over with cars as soon as they go out.]
[They must be severely punished, should not be dealt with lightly just because they are rich. Two adults bullying a child? They should be shot]
The comments are intense.
Some people deliberately leaded, ignoring why Herbert family would go after a child, only focusing on the fact that they bullied a child.
