Husband

Chapter 18 

Samuel was just a five–year–old child. He could not escape from Carlos’s powerful grip. Carlos only had to squeeze slightly, and Samuel’s neck would be broken. 

Samuel couldn’t 

Carlos’s hand, 

breathe. 

He stared in disbelief and terror at Carlos. How could he be his biological father? Tears rolled down his cheeks, falling on 

“Speak! 

! You can 

can talk, can’t your Carlos’s voice was ster 

However, his hand trembled as if he was holding hot coals. His grip weakened. After all, he had treated Samuel as his son, and Samuel looked like Neil. Carlos couldn’t bring himself to do it. 

Averie burst loudly into tears then, wailing, “Poor Neill Where could he be?” Averie wanted Carlos to kill the brat. Without any leads, they wouldn’t be able to find Neil, and Neil would ultimately die. 

Carlos thought of Neil and increased his strength, lifting Samuel even higher. 

Samuel kicked out desperately, his tiny face turning dangerously. His tears made his vision blurrier. Samuel missed his mommy and her warm embrace. He wanted to hear his mother calling his name softly. 

There was a knock on the door. Adam shouted, “Mr. Monroe, Dr. Miracle is here. There’s hope for Mr. Neil 

Carlos’s heart stung with each mention of Neil. Neil was the only connection he had left of Vera. Now that Neil was missing. Dr. Miracle was useless 

“Scram!” Carlos roared. Not only did he frighten the people inside, but he also scared Adam and Vera behind him. 

Her mother’s instinct told Vera Samuel was inside. She pushed Adam aside and opened the door at once. 

The scene Vera saw made her fly into fury. The scumbag who wanted to burn her alive five years ago now wanted to strangle her child to death. Shaking. Vera yelled, “Stop!” She ran over and knocked over Carlos. 

If Vera had a knife, she would not hesitate to stab Carlos to save Samuel. 

There was a loud bang as Carlos was knocked onto the couch. The heavy couch shifted from the impact. 

Vera and Samuel fell. She reached out to catch Samuel’s tiny body. 

Vera’s heart ached at the sight of the red marks on Samuel’s neck. Tears flowed down her cheeks while she tried desperately to save him. 

Carlos lay sprawled on the couch and touched his dizzy head, 

Averie hurried over, exclaiming anxiously. “Carlos, are you okay? Are you hurt?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Then Averie glared at Adam. “Didn’t you hear Carlos? Why did you let this crazy woman in! Get rid of her at once” 

Averie still remembered Vera, the woman who completely overshadowed her at the airport. How could Averic allow a woman who was prettier than her to appear before Carlos? 

“Madam, who are you calling crazy? Watch what you say?” A tall, handsome young man behind Adamn spoke angrily, defending Vera. He crouched down to assist Vera in treating Samuel. He gently held Vera’s trembling hands and spoke softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” 

Carlo’s gaze fell on their linked hands, and his eyes suddenly became icy. How were they related?
