Husband

Chapter 34 

Adam scratched his head at Carlos’s meaningful smile and thought it over carefully. “I’ve kept an eye on those three all the 

time.” He couldn’t make sense of it. “How could he switch Mr. Nel out from under our noses?” No one could have done it. 

Carlos asked, “Did you notice anyone fishy at that time?” 

Adam shook his head but then remembered something. “Does Mr. James count?” He had discovered something after going through the hospital’s surveillance footage. “Mr. James entered and left the hospital with a sports bag. I’ve no idea what was inside, but it seemed a bit heavy. Probably about Mr. Neil’s weight. Do you think Mr. James put Mr. Neil in the bag and carried him around?” 

However, something was off. Adam pointed out, “The hair and tissue samples used for the paternity test belong to the boy from last night. The test says that he is related to you.” 

“Adam, what if Vera and the two children are still alive?” Carlos asked. 

Adam jumped at his bold speculation. “Not impossible, Mr. Monroe. How can anyone survive such a massive fire? You might as well say the children possessed Mr. Neil. It might be more believable…” Adam’s voice trailed off. 

Carlos had insisted on rebuilding the mansion on the site of the fire, hoping that he could be reunited with the ghosts of Vera and his children. 

Carlos did not answer. Adam sweated profusely. 

The Monroe family said Vera and the two children died tragically, but as the survivor, Carlos didn’t fare any better. Though his heart died with Vera, Carlos had to tough it out and take care of Neil. He had to protect his family and be on guard against the mastermind. 

If it weren’t for the fire five years ago, Carlos would have caught the mastermind and lived happily with Vera and the three children… 

It had been so close! 

“It’s getting late. You can go. Continue to keep an eye on the three of them.” Carlos had already arranged additional personnel to protect Neil. 

“Yes, sir,” Adam responded. 

Dayton came in before Adam left. “Mr. Neil is throwing a fit in your bedroom. He broke a lot of things…” 

Vera leaned weakly on James’s shoulder as their car sped off. She was too wiped out to do anything else. James accompanied her quietly until they were home. 

“Mummy!” The children rushed over to Vera when they saw her. 

James glanced at the nanny, who tactfully left the room and closed the door. 

“Mummy, you’re finally back.” Catherine sniffled, sounding teary “Daddy is so bad. He hurt Samuel. I hate him. I won’t like him anymore.” 

Vera noticed Samuel’s injury was almost healed. However, Samuel was still down. Vera’s heart ached. Samuel wouldn’t easily forgive his father now.

Vera had done her best to ensure her children grew up healthy and happy. She didn’t want them to be filled with hatred. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
