Chapter 1301: Chapter 1273: Chat Again When We et Chapter 1301: Chapter 1273: Chat Again When We et Facing Kiara’s accusation, Camden argued.
“It’s fine, there’s a thin quilt, and besides, Willa likes the sunlight outside too. Children need to be exposed to the wind.”
Showing no regard for her father’s dignity, just as Mario had finished speaking, Wendy sneezed.
Mario carried the child back to the car, looking rather sheepish, and he didn’t dare see the expression on his daughter-in-law’s face.
“n just can’t be trusted with kids! Geez, you’re hopeless!” After Kiara got into the car and took her daughter, she checked her temperature and her little nose to make sure baby was alright, assuming that the sneeze was probably just due to the cold air stimulation.
She sat in the back, where special glass made it convenient for her to breastfeed the baby. Being a mother is like that, no matter how big a thing she’s doing, she must always rember her mission as a human-shaped milk bottle, even if it ans bringing the baby along to an interrogation or hypnosis session.
“Did you find anything?” Mario asked her.
Kiara shook her head.
“Although I didn’t, there’s sothing that struck as odd, it’s just that, ouch—!” She let out a pained hum, Mario turned in a hurry, and accidentally caught a glimpse of her…cough cough, delicate skin.
“You little rascal, when momma’s talking you shouldn’t bite, got it?” Kiara affectionately patted her daughter’s diaper.
“Giggle.” Wendy didn’t understand what her mother was saying but could feel the affection, so she grinned, noticed the nipple had slipped out when she laughed, and quickly latched back on to suckle earnestly.
Mario loved watching the intimate bonding during breastfeeding, especially the eye-to-eye contact between mother and daughter, an indescribably heartwarming sight that language couldn’t capture. Unfortunately, Kiara wouldn’t let him take pictures, which was a bit of a disappointnt.
“Where was I…right, what exactly did you find odd?”
“I hypnotized that neighbor who provided us clues before, even using one of the pills Master gave .”
It’s hard to achieve a state of complete trust when hypnotizing strangers. To save ti, Kiara used one of the pills Yuzo Joel had given her. Originally there were three: one was used during the escape from Rico Clark’s pursuit, one now, and only one was left.
“And the result?”
“The result is, he doesn’t rember anything that happened before. Not to ntion the person’s appearance, he even forgot that Rico Clark was taken away; he’s clean-sweep forgotten. Even when I tried to access his deep mories, I failed. There’s sothing fleeting in my mind, but I can’t catch the inspiration or express what’s odd about it.”
“Let’s not force it if you can’t find any clues. If their target is you, there will be more opportunities for them to act in the future, and then we can find the loopholes. A fox will eventually show its tail.”
Mario consoled Kiara.
Kiara looked down at her daughter in her arms; the little one had dozed off after feeding for a while but was reluctant to let go, falling asleep and waking up every few seconds to continue suckling. It would take a good while of this eat-and-sleep routine.
Kiara didn’t disturb her, waiting until the frequency of suckling grew longer. Then she gently lifted the child to burp her on her shoulder until she fell into a deep sleep, and only after adjusting the baby’s sleeping position did she continue to respond to Mario.
“Speaking of such fleeting matters, it’s normal that mory can’t be retrieved – deep mories have to be repeatedly recalled to be stored there. It’s normal that he can’t retrieve this, but the problem is, he can’t even rember Rico Clark being taken away. Don’t you think that’s a bit too deliberate, kind of like—”
Kiara searched hard for the right adjective.
“Like soone cleaned the scene with a special tool after a murder, wiping away all fingerprints and clues,” Mario, quick on the uptake, imdiately said.
Kiara slapped her forehead; yes, that’s the feeling!
She felt sothing was odd but couldn’t react at the mont. Indeed, for certain matters, she really needed to discuss with her husband.
“Cleaning up a cri scene is easy for an ordinary person, but cleaning soone’s mory… As far as I know, other than a few people from your sect, there don’t seem to be many others, right?”
Mario Yuno’s words reminded Kiara.
“It seems soone is really unhappy with my arrival, and even wants to use Rico Clark’s hand to eliminate through murder by proxy. Hah, what deep hatred this must be, and what vested interests did my arrival block for soone.”
Kiara sneered coldly.
“Could it be the sa person who tampered with the hard drive?”
Kiara thought for a mont and then shook her head.
“I can’t say for sure, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.”
“I think it’s the sa person who did it, they just don’t want you to have an easy ti. Previously, you didn’t tell Yuzo Joel about your exploration, that was fine, but not this ti, it’s not the sa nature.”
If it’s just a matter of tampering with a hard drive, it could be explained away with education, but brainwashing a neighbor— that’s a big deal. It’s very likely that the person who brainwashed the neighbor is the one who took away Rico Clark and then incited him to attack Kiara.
This visitor clearly ant no good.
“I know, and I won’t let anyone who tries to trap get away with it.” A cold light flashed across Kiara’s body, and although it might take so ti to find the person behind it all, she was determined not to let them go.
Wendy had already taken a short nap, and upon opening her eyes to see her mother’s sharp expression, her small mouth pouted, and she cried. This wasn’t the mother she knew. Wah~
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, be good.” Kiara’s face instantly softened, as she rhythmically gently patted the child.
Mario Yuno watched, utterly fascinated, as Kiara switched from a formidable boss to a tender mother in an instant. This was his adorable daughter-in-law; just as they were about to discuss the mastermind behind the scenes, the phone rang.
Yuzo Joel?
…
In a hotel room in Q City, Yuzo Joel welcod Kiara and Mario Yuno. Seeing the two of them, he bead with joy.
“Co here, let give you a hug!”
Mario Yuno passed Wendy’s swaddling clothes to Yuzo Joel, and the soft little one didn’t act shy, blinking her big eyes at Yuzo Joel. After a while, she yawned and even dozed off on his shoulder.
“My Willa usually is quite picky about people, but she doesn’t act shy with you.” Mario Yuno found it quite remarkable.
Kiara was touched as she watched Yuzo Joel hold the child with such tenderness.
For so reason, a phrase suddenly flashed in her mind.
Blood is thicker than water.
The bond of family is indeed an inseverable thread. Even if she hadn’t called him ‘Dad’ since that ti, Yuzo Joel had always behaved like a father towards her, and even his view of Wendy was different from any normal baby; he was filled with a grandfather’s love for his granddaughter.
“Let’s go outside to talk,” Yuzo Joel suggested, placing Wendy on the bed and carefully covering her with a small blanket. He then led Kiara and Mario Yuno to another room in the hotel suite. The two rooms were connected, so they didn’t need to worry about the baby sleeping restlessly on her own.
“What did you want to see us for?” Kiara didn’t even bother to ask Yuzo Joel how he knew she was in Q City; with Aka around, Yuzo Joel would know as soon as she made a move.
