Cecil reached for the kitchen knife with a swift motion.
The blade glimmered menacingly, reflecting a cold light that flashed into Maria's eyes.
"Ah—"
Terrified, Maria screamed and fainted on the spot.
Claire's pupils dilated in shock.
"Maria! Maria! Oh my, Maria, wake up, please don't scare me, Maria, Maria!"
Cecil showed no concern for his daughter, brandishing the knife at Claire threateningly.
"Listen here, I'm running out of patience. I'll ask you one last time, have you seen our son?"
"Cecil, our daughter has fainted, please, she's fainted. Help our daughter, please, take her to the hospital."
"Answer my question first! If you're not straight with me, we're going nowhere, and I'll let her lie right here!"
Claire was petrified.
"I saw him, I did. I saw him at the hospital... Oh, Cecil..."
Cecil frowned, a flash of panic crossing his eyes, remembering that it was he who...
"Why did he come back? Did he reach out to you?"
Claire quickly shook her head.
"No, he didn't look for me. He doesn't even know me! He's living a good life, his foster parents clearly adore him. Cecil, let's not disturb him. We don't have the means to take care of him, he's better off with them!
Cecil, let's get Maria to a doctor, please, let's take her to the hospital..."
So the son's foster parents weren't out to cause trouble?
Cecil's anxiety eased.
Narrowing his eyes, he pondered for a moment, a gleam of cunning shining through.
"Are you sure that's our son?"
"Absolutely, I'm a hundred percent sure. I even got a paternity test done."
"You had the money for a paternity test, you..."
