Debra.
I was wrong.
Iâm sorry.
â
Putting on her most pitiful look, she sobbed, âI was just so worried about Dylan.
Youâre also a mother.
Iâm sure you understand where Iâm coming from.
â
Despite her pitiful attempt to appeal to my emotions, I remained completely expressionless.
This was the same woman who had come all the way from the Thorn Edge
Pack to Roz Town for Caleb, not to mention the fact that she had broken into my house.
All these things indicated that she was no ordinary woman.
She was likely very shrewd.
Denise mustâve sensed my hostility, because she changed tactics and showed me a video on her phone.
âJust Look at how pitiful my poor Dylan is!â
The video showed a weak, Little boy having an injection.
His arm was very thin, in sharp contrast to the big needle in the doctorâs hand.
Despite the scary-looking needle, the boy was very brave.
He didnât cry or make a fuss.
On the contrary, he seemed used to it.
He simply watched as the thick needle was inserted into his arm.
For some reason, I felt so suffocated seeing this.
Damn it! This feeling againâ¦
I gritted my teeth, wondering why I felt so strongly about this child.

He was Deniseâs son.
Why did seeing him like this made me feel so bad?
I reluctantly tore my gaze away from the phone screen to look at
Denise.
Had she really done something to me?
Frowning, I cleared my throat and said in a clear, cold voice, âDenise,
I know that you just want to save your son.
But I also want to protect my daughter, so please leave as soon as possible.
â
Denise was stunned for a moment.
She parted her lips and wanted to say something more but was interrupted by the doorbell.
Caleb stood up.
âIâll get it.
â
Denise and I exchanged glances and then followed him to the living room.
As soon as the door was opened, several nurses strode inside the house.
Caleb nodded to them and then pointed at Denise.
âTake this woman back to the hospital.
Keep an eye on her and donât let her escape again.
â
I was stunned.
An indescribable emotion flashed through my heart.
