After everyone had finished their meal, Carmen and Albert finally decided to reconcile with each other.
“Come here and shake hands with Al. From now on, both of you are good friends, so you can’t bully Al at the kindergarten anymore!” Sophia carried Carmen over and made her shake hands with Albert.
Carmen pouted while she shook Albert’s hand. “I am your leader now. In the future, you’ll have to listen to me and not be a naughty boy anymore! Otherwise, I will never befriend you.”
Albert nodded shyly.
When Derek saw that they had reconciled, he picked Albert up and was prepared to send him back home. But as soon as he carried Albert, the little boy suddenly started coughing violently.
“Al, what’s wrong with you?” Derek was startled.
Albert’s cute little face crumpled in pain as he couldn’t speak from all the coughing; it seemed as though his lungs were about to be coughed out.
Albert cried loudly as he opened his mouth and looked at Derek with a pained expression. He looked like he wanted to say something, but a gurgling sound came from his throat.
Derek was terrified. “What’s wrong with you, Al? Don’t freak me out!”
Albert’s mouth opened wide as his legs stiffened and his fingernails dug deeply onto Derek’s neck and drew blood. Tears kept streaming down from his face when all of a sudden, Albert spat a mouthful of blood all over Derek’s clothes.
Albert is vomiting blood!
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden scene as Michael urged Sophia to take the children away. Meanwhile, Carmen glanced back with concern.
“Get the doctor and Quinton!”
Michael yelled at Linus while carrying Albert. Linus rushed toward the doghouse to get Quinton, who was busy playing with his phone.
Cooper watched Michael carry Albert into the infirmary as he and Derek paced anxiously in front of the door.
When Sophia left the children inside the house and came out, she saw the private doctor rushing in and out of the infirmary.
On the other hand, Cooper was walking the Yard Family out.
Anna looked at Cooper worriedly and said, “It’s not a coincidence that something happened to this child in your house. You have to be careful.”
Cooper’s face was expressionless. “I know.”
That would explain why no one was there to pick up the president of Mitchell Technology’s son from kindergarten—they were waiting for him here.
If Alex’s only son died on Cooper’s turf, there was no way he would be able to get away with it.
“I will take care of it,” Cooper replied calmly.
He sent Anna to the entrance and hastily went back. With that, Anna left with her sons.
On the way, Callum spoke up. “If Alex really intended to drag Cooper down, this move is particularly dangerous.”
He actually risked his own son’s life!
Anna remained silent.
No matter what, Cooper is more than capable of solving this matter.
At Villa No. 8, Quinton came out of the infirmary that was filled with a lot of basic equipment and was able to run some tests.
Although Quinton had a doctorate in medicine, he was a physician. Obviously, Albert was experiencing an internal medical issue.
He took off his mask with hands covered in blood and said gruffly, “Multiple internal organs are bleeding profusely and multiple organs are going into failure. I conclude that he has only less than two hours to live.”
Everyone was shocked.
What a cruel way to inflict harm on such a young child!
What kind of person would do this?!
Alex’s only son had come over to Cooper’s house to play and ended up dead—that would further complicate the hostile relationship between Alex and Cooper!
