George, Harold, and Alden looked depressed.
Ninian felt even more lost and puzzled.
âIâve heard what happened to Mommy.
âShe almost did something unforgivable after being manipulated by the biochip. She couldnât forgive herself and disappeared after running away from home.
âAt that time, she didnât know that she was pregnant with me yet.
âShe fell into the wrong hands. Not only was I taken away from her by force, but they also robbed her of her blood for three years.
âAnd thatâs why Daddy brought her to travel abroad for recuperation.
âShe almost lost her life after getting her blood drained. She was on the verge of death, and somehow, she overcame the biochips manipulation and broke free from it.
âThis incident was an unspeakable source of pain for us.
âBut now, Everett is going through the same thing.
âWhat should we do?
âDoes he need to go through a blood transfusion too? Is there any other way to save him?
âItâs no wonder the Craig familyâs mansion is under lockdown. If Everett isnât in danger, Duncan wouldnât have done that without telling us.
âThe situation is obviously very critical.â
Ninian, who learned the truth, could no longer hold back her urge to see Everett.
She pushed Harold away and walked toward the door.
Every step felt heavy but firm.
âNinianâ¦â Lana said worriedly.
âLet him go.â Alden watched as she left. He then said, We should accompany her.â
âOkay, letâs goâ¦â Harold slapped his face to make himself come back to his senses.
He gritted his teeth and said, âI want to know whoâs still producing such harmful things behind our backs!â
George did not stop them when he saw how determined Harold and Alden were in going to the Craig familyâs mansion.
((
âIf Alden says that we can enter the mansion, then thereâs no problem.
âNo electronic doors will stop us from going in.
âThey mustâve underestimated us by thinking such stuff would stop us.â
Soon, their cars arrived at the Craig familyâs mansion. They came with bodyguards, armed with guns and ammunition in case they needed it.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the entrance, the front gate opened.
âI knew you guys would come. Come on in.â
Duncan received them in person.
He looked exhausted and hazy.
George took a glance at him and nodded. The bodyguards behind him retreated.
Duncan led the Winters siblings into his house. Since Nerola and Lana were girls, they did not follow them.
After the Winters family entered, the front gate was shut once again. However, the rest of the Craig family managed to squeeze in.
âDuncan, what happened?â
âPlease tell us why the mansion is in lockdown?â
âDuncan, you let the Winters family in, but why arenât we allowed to come in? Something happened to our family. We have the right to know what happened.â
The rest of Craigâs family members spoke up angrily and protested one after another.
The Winters family stopped walking. Duncan, who was at the front, stopped walking as well.
