Chapter 681

”Ugh…” Justin gritted his teeth as two iron rods slammed into his back. His eyes turned red with suppressed pain, but he held Alex tightly in his arms. Alex knew. Even at his young age, he understood everything. After the first blow, more thugs joined in, swinging wildly with their weapons. Justin shielded Alex’s head and back with his arms, rolling across the ground to dodge their attacks. Alex took the chance to loosen the cut ropes around his wrists and reached toward the button hidden near his shoe. As another thug approached, Alex kicked out. The man, iron rod raised, collapsed instantly after being electrocuted. The shoes were custom-made by the Walkerfamily. They contained a tracking chip designed by Richard, capable of sending a distress signal. The heels were equipped with a concealed blade, and the soles held a high-voltage shock device that could temporarily paralyze an enemy, rendering them incapable of movement. It compensated for Alex’s sm

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Alex.” “Daddy, you looked so cool when you were fighting them! You were so strong, and you protected me! Daddy! Daddy!” Since they hadn’t reached home yet, Alex kept calling out to him, as if he couldn’t get enough. He knew that once they arrived, he wouldn’t be able to say it so openly. His mommy hadn’t agreed yet. Justin understood as well and didn’t ask Alex why he knew the truth. The DNA test had been done by him and Chase on their own at the hospital. The two boys were smart. Haley had raised them well. *Wilfred and Richard had arrived first. By the time Justin returned with Alex, everyone was already seated in the living room, waiting. Justin held Alex’s hand and led him to Haley. “I brought him back safe and sound. He’s just a little dirty, but don’t worry. I already checked him in the car—he’s not hurt.” “Mommy!” “Alex, you scared me to death!” Haley pulled him into her arms, unable to shake the lingering

After dinner, Haley still couldn’t rest easy. She insisted on pulling Alex back to the children’s room, lifting his shirt to check him over. She needed to see for herself—was he really unhurt? What if he was just hiding his injuries to keep her from worrying? She checked his back, stomach, arms, and legs, going over him carefully. When it came time to check his bottom, Alex clutched his pants tightly and begged for mercy. “Mommy, my butt is fine! I didn’t get hurt at all! Daddy—” He quickly corrected himself. “Uncle Justin protected me really well. He got hurt instead—really badly. Those people hit him with iron rods, hard, right on his back.“One of them was even about to hit my head, but Uncle Justin shielded me with his body.” Out of Haley’s line of sight, Alex secretly stuck out his tongue. Luckily, he caught himself in time. If he had said "Daddy," he would have given himself away. It was all because he had called him that so much in the car—now i

Alex couldn’t listen any longer. He ran to the door and interrupted. “Mommy, Uncle Justin’s injury is on his back. He can’t apply the ointment by himself. Just help him! He went into the kidnappers’ den alone today to save your beloved son.” Alex had barely started calling Ria when his sharp ears picked up the conversation between his mom and Justin. She hadn’t closed the door properly. His small body squeezed through the gap, pushing both Justin and Haley into the children’s room. “I’ll leave the room to you. I’m going downstairs to play with Chase.” His clear, childlike voice rang out, and after speaking, he even thoughtfully closed the door behind him. As he did, his lips curled into a satisfied smile. He knew his mom wouldn’t take Justin to her own room. To get to the guest room on the first floor, she would have to pass by the family members sitting in the living room. She would be too shy and embarrassed to do that. But taking him into the chil

Haley lowered his shirt after applying the ointment and tossed the used cotton swab into the trash. “Done.” Her voice was indifferent, neither warm nor cold. She turned away and silently closed the medicine box. Justin turned to look at her. Their time alone together had been too brief, and he hurriedly spoke, trying to make her stay. “My mother’s funeral is about to take place. Could you… bring Chase and Alex to attend?“Can you wait to leave until after the funeral?” Afraid she would refuse, he quickly added, his gaze filled with quiet pleading. He couldn’t bear to see her leave. He couldn’t bear for her to leave this city. Justin felt like a child without a sense of security, wanting nothing more than to keep Haley by his side. His voice was so pitiful that, for a brief moment, Haley paused. Her eyes met his humble, pleading gaze, and for a split second, she felt a sharp, needle-like pain in her chest. It was so clear and distinct that she couldn

They all understood that Haley would never bring up Heidi’s funeral on her own. It must have been Justin who spoke to her about it last night. Since Justin had rescued Alex from the kidnappers, everyone’s attitude toward him had subtly shifted. Richard swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “That works. There’s nothing urgent at the base right now anyway. We can stay in Haven State a few more days.” Haley felt deeply relieved by her family’s understanding and support. This kind of security was something only family could provide. Alex remained silent, focusing on his meal. He felt both happy and sad—happy because he could stay in Haven State a little longer and spend more time with Uncle Justin, but sad because Uncle Justin’s mom had died. He must miss his mommy a lot. If it were his own mommy who had died… Alex’s chest tightened. He wouldn’t just cry, he would cry his eyes blind. No. He refused to think about it. His mommy wouldn’t die. She

It was noon, and the housekeeper had already prepared lunch in advance, just waiting for Haley, Chase, and Alex to return home. With Mrs. Zimmer visiting, Haley didn’t hesitate to invite her to join them for the meal. After Chase and Alex went down for their nap, Haley stayed in the kitchen with Mrs. Zimmer, helping to prepare vegetables for dinner. “Mr. Yates mentioned that you’re staying in Lincourt City for a few more days until the old madam’s funeral is over?” “Yes.” Mrs. Zimmer let out a deep sigh. “Mr. Yates has had a hard life all these years. Since childhood, he was constantly pushed by Mr. Yates Sr. to study. His childhood was nothing like Chase and Alex’s—so carefree and happy. “Every day, aside from school, it was tutoring or private lessons at home. His entire childhood, I never once saw him have time to just play.“When he was ten, Mr. Yates Sr. sent him abroad to study. He didn’t return until he was seventeen. And not long after he came back, his fa

“That’s why there’s a cat in the villa—the one you saw last time. Its name is Precious. Over time, Mr. Yates gradually got better and stopped trying to end his life.” Haley’s hands stilled as she picked the vegetables. Her gaze lowered, her emotions subtly sinking. “And just like that, he accepted your ‘death,’ and life moved on peacefully. We all thought that was the end of it. But then… you weren’t dead. Not only did you return, but you had also given birth to two children.“He endured so much hardship, but in the end, he finally got a new beginning. And yet, Mr. Yates Sr.…” Mrs. Zimmer sighed heavily. “He was old. It was only a matter of time. But the madam was still so young. She left far too soon.“First, he lost his father as a young man. Now, just past thirty, his mother is gone too. “Other than you, Chase, and Alex, he has no other family left.” “Mrs. Zimmer, I—” “Oh, listen to me. Why am I talking about all this on such a beautiful day?” Having sai

That evening, Wilfred had a business dinner to attend, and Helen and Zac sent a message saying they wouldn’t be coming home for dinner. Only Evelyn returned. Not long after she arrived, Justin walked in through the front door. In the past, every time he came over, he had to ring the doorbell. But now, after showing up so often, the bodyguards and the Walker family had gotten used to him. They simply let him in. “I’m back.” Justin acted as if he owned the place, making himself at home. “Mr. Yates, you’re back? Dinner will be ready soon—go wash your hands,” Mrs. Zimmer said with a warm smile. Evelyn glanced toward the kitchen, a little surprised to see an extra person at the table, but she didn’t ask any questions. Richard, however, caught a whiff of the food and couldn’t help but praise it. “Mmm, I haven’t even tasted it yet, but it smells amazing.” Then, he turned to Mrs. Zimmer and grinned. “Hey, Mrs. Zimmer, how much does Justin pay you a month?

Justin walked over, lifting the delicate lace curtain. Through the soft glow of the night, he saw Haley tilting her head back, drinking red wine. Concern immediately filled his voice. “Don’t drink too much. It’s bad for your health.” “That’s none of your business.” Her words carried the careless defiance of someone slightly tipsy, her tone hazy and unfocused. The words slipped out before she had a chance to think. Only after she spoke did she fully register who was standing in front of her. Her eyes sharpened with caution. “How did you get in?” Justin was briefly stunned but quickly came up with a reply. “I knocked. You let me in.” Had she mistaken him for someone else?Was she so out of it that she let him in without realizing who he was?His gaze drifted to the small table, where an almost-empty bottle of wine sat.“Stop drinking. You’ll get a headache in the morning, and your stomach will hurt when you sleep.”He reached out, intending to take
