Without waiting for Kieran to say anything, Caelan asked again in a cold voice, "You are Kieran, right?!"
Hearing these words from Caelan, Freya's heart was raised to her throat.
She knew that Kieran was very capable and gifted, but this was, after all, the territory of the Harper family. Moreover, now that he was injured in his leg and could not even stand up, if his identity was really exposed, with the level of resentment the Harper family had towards him, he would definitely not be able to leave this place alive.
Kieran's eyes, however, were not the least bit flustered.
His face was covered with a silver mask, and Freya could not tell what his expression was like underneath it.
But she could clearly feel that his body was filled with an indescribable sneer.
He leaned back in his wheelchair, and his whole aura became more and more lazy and cold, his thin lips moved gently, and a voice with a bit of hoarseness poured out from his mouth.
"Yes, I am Kieran."
He usually spoke, giving people the impression that he was detached and cold, but at this moment, his voice was rare with a bit of laughter, but it seemed even more disdainful of everything around him.
As he listened to his voice, which was full of mockery, the tense vigilance of Harper family dispersed a little.
He stared at him unblinkingly, and suddenly, he too hooked his lips and smiled cynically.
He was relieved that the person in the wheelchair could not possibly be Kieran.
Yes, Kieran had fallen off the cliff and into the blazing lava, how could he still be alive!
It was just that his Layton, who had always been fierce and ruthless, was now willing to stand up for Freya and Alistair, which made him feel, somewhat unbelievable.
"Layton, you're really joking! How could you possibly be Kieran! Kieran has long since died!"
Caelan turned his face and gave a gloomy glance at Alistair, who was being held tightly in Freya's arms, "I'm just a little curious as to how Layton, who has always been thin-skinned, would suddenly be so kind as to come and help my Stahler save her child!"
The atmosphere around them, which had only slightly eased, instantly became tense again.
Kieran didn't take Caelan's pressing steps seriously at all, he still had the same casual and unrestrained look.
His pair of dark eyes slowly fell on Freya's face, "If her child dies and she collapses and goes crazy, who will cure my leg!"
"Dr. Stahler, I help you save the baby, you will cure my leg, won't you?"
"Yes." Freya spoke with unparalleled certainty, if he really was the great devil Layton, even if he helped her, she would only chop him on the leg, but he was her Kieran.
The man she loved most.
So, no matter why he pretended to be Layton and was unwilling to identify her, she wanted their family to be reunited and never be separated again.
Originally, after recognising Kieran, Freya couldn't wait to identify with him, but now, she understood that she couldn't be that impulsive anymore.
They were surrounded by a flood of beasts, and if they took one wrong step, there would be no turning back.
Now, she could only pretend not to recognise him, to go along with all his actions, to guard him in her own way.
Freya did not return to Caelan's ancient castle.
