“Mr. Fraser,” Holden greeted with a forced smile. He felt very depressed. As Clarissa’s husband, he had no status in front of her assistants and had to maintain a friendly demeanor when talking to them.
“We came to see Kathryn. How is she? We were worried about her all night. We just found out you sent her to the hospital, so we hurried over.” Holden lied.
In reality, after Clarissa yelled at Holden and his sons last night, they quickly left the Farrell family mansion. They monitored the mansion, but there was no movement all night except for Mr. Dunn’s visits.
Holden wondered if he had guessed wrong or if Clarissa was setting a trap for her niece.
Pedro said calmly, “Miss is awake and not seriously ill. Mr. Janzen, you look more injured than Miss.”
Holden smiled awkwardly. “I had a fight with my wife. Seeing Kathryn like that, I was worried. After all, I am her biological father. Seeing my daughter lying motionless, I got angry and fought with my wife. I am no match for her.”
Feeling embarrassed, Holden raised the insulated lunch box in his hand. “It’s early, and you probably haven’t had breakfast yet. I made dumplings for Kathryn and brought them here. She likes dumplings stuffed with chives.”
Kathryn enjoyed the fragrance of leeks and liked dumplings filled with leeks, pork, and corn.
When Kathryn emerged, Holden stood up, looking concerned. “Kathryn.”
“Dad, why are you here?” Kathryn asked, having overheard their conversation in the bathroom. She knew they came to check if she was still alive. She pretended nothing had happened, walked over, and sat on the single sofa. Pedro stood beside her, acting as her guardian angel.
Holden, filled with self-blame, said, “We came to see you. How are you? We were scared seeing you motionless last night. Look at me, the wounds on my face and arms are from your mom beating me. I thought she had hurt you and wanted to confront her, but I was useless. I couldn’t vent your anger and got beaten instead.”
