Sumr Spencer understood Caron Spencer was talking about Hazel Winchester.
She lowered her head, walked over, knelt down, leaned against Caron’s legs, and pleaded softly, "Dad, it was my mom who was montarily misled. She didn’t an anything else; she was deceived. She just wanted to spend more ti with you..."
"Ha ha... wanted to spend more ti with , so she gave those spiked cigars?" Caron’s voice was full of threat.
Sumr’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Dad, think about it. If my mom really wanted to harm you, why would she only use this kind of drug?—She could directly..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Caron understood her aning.
He squinted his eyes, curled his lips, and said, "Then should I thank her for not killing ?—Sumr, you and your mom are equally selfish and shallow, but fortunately, you are a bit smarter than your mom, in that aspect you’re like ."
Sumr looked at Caron in utter fear, "Dad, that’s not what I ant. I know my mom and I aren’t smart, but we both know, without you, there’s no us. How could we do anything to hurt you? And Winter, it really wasn’t intentional on my mom’s part!"
She hadn’t ntioned Winter, but once she did, Caron gave her a kick and coldly said, "You rember, if anything happens to your brother again, I’ll hold you accountable!"
Sumr was nearly in tears, "Dad, can you be fair? Winter is so young. Even if I had a heart of stone, I wouldn’t target him!"
Such a small child, does she even need to take action? Who knows if he’d even grow up?
By the ti he grows up, she’d have already spread her wings, whether Caron was around or not would be another story...
Sumr grumbled internally, but of course, she dared not say it out loud.
She hung her head, pitifully kneeling in front of Caron, continuously crying and pleading.
Caron, although ruthless, was still very lenient towards his daughter.
If it had been soone else targeting him or his son, he would have had that person dismbered by eight pieces.
But Hazel... in his mind, she was just too foolish.
He also thought Hazel was being used by soone, but who that person was, he really had no clue.
That cowardly doctor Hu, they hadn’t even done anything yet, imdiately spilled everything about Hazel’s "instructions," and even handed over the money she gave in private.
But she didn’t know about the cigarette mulch issue; she just said Hazel asked her to take good care of Winter, since the child was small and physically weak, to help him develop an immune system as much as possible.
Six months later, the mother’s protection over the child’s immunity disappears; the child must develop strong resistance to grow healthily.
This advice sounded correct; Caron even consulted pediatric specialists in hospitals who didn’t know their identities, and got the sa answers.
But whether Hazel’s "words" were genuine or opposite couldn’t be determined.
Caron always thought Hazel didn’t have the guile to kill two birds with one stone.
However, he also knew he couldn’t let his guard down any further.
Who knows whether she’s genuine or fake?
Sumr saw Caron contemplating in silence, rolled her eyes, and said, "I just sent mom to the monastery and t the first wife. She left with two phrases, and I’ve co to realize."
"What phrases?"
"What’s destined will eventually co, what’s not destined should not be forced." Sumr said sincerely, "My mom and I both realize our mistakes, and won’t desire anything not belonging to us anymore. Of course, we won’t give up what’s rightfully ours."
Caron didn’t care about the latter part of her sentence, just eyed her suspiciously and asked, "Did Ruby Rayner really say, ’What’s destined will eventually co, what’s not destined should not be forced’?"
"Yes, she really said it, and it was in front of big brother’s tombstone." Sumr recounted the scene.
Caron’s face suddenly turned somber.
He waved his hand, "Go back, I understand your aning, I won’t hold your mom accountable anymore."
Sumr stiffened slightly.
Letting her mom die once, there’s still responsibility?
But she dared not argue with Caron, and awkwardly left his ho.
After she left, Caron wheeled himself to little Winter’s room, staring intently at the Peach Wood Sword hanging on the wall beside the small bed.
The hilt of the Peach Wood Sword had a very special knot, one he had seen only one person make throughout the years.
And that person, was she still in this world?
He hadn’t gone to look for her, but he didn’t believe she didn’t know his current situation.
From the day he beca famous nationwide, he had been waiting for that woman to co to him.
He now had the capability to protect her, but she hadn’t reached out.
The two were high school classmates, and when he was with her, he had nothing.
Now that he had everything, he thought of her once more.
Caron Spencer had only ever disappointed one woman, and that was her.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called his personal secretary, saying, "Have you looked into the Taobao seller for the Baby’s Full Moon celebration gift package I’ve asked you to check?"
His personal secretary quickly replied, "I’ve found him; he doesn’t appear to be anything special. He’s a Feng Shui practitioner nad Nick Zeller, from River City."
With that, he sent Nick’s information to Caron for review.
Seeing it was him, Caron couldn’t help but frown.
He knew of Nick, a sowhat renowned new-generation Feng Shui Master, but in Caron’s view, half of it was hype, with probably only half true skills.
And this person had a niece nad Lawrence Winters, who had a past feud with Hazel Winchester’s niece, Molly Zimrman.
Caron knew a little about the trouble between the two.
Now that Molly Zimrman was gone, he didn’t expect the old feuds to loop around and entangle with this family again.
Moreover, he knew Kenneth Osborne was staying at her ho, in a big flat within the Third Ring Road, and it seed the two had a good relationship.
"Prepare a plane for , I’m going to the Capital City imdiately." Caron instructed his personal secretary, "Is the newly purchased big flat in the Capital City prepared and ready for occupancy?"
"Yes, it’s ready. It was prepared for the madam and her family. Are you planning to take them with you?"
These words reminded Caron, who curled his lips into an ambiguous smile, "Of course, in the springti when the flowers bloom, one can go to the Capital City to see the peach blossoms."
