Chapter 388 Recovery
Caleb’s dark eyes looked at Isabella. His lips were pursed, revealing an indescribable grievance and confusion.
Isabella’s heart softened. This child was only a year older than her child. She walked over and squatted down. “Caleb, it’s okay, everything will be fine.
Caleb pouted, and tears started streaming from his eyes,
The guilt in Isabella’s heart intensified. However, she felt more pity for Caleb.
It was a pity to have such a father. If Nathaniel was just a playboy, it would be a beautiful illusion if he could hide it from Aurora and Caleb for the rest of his life.
However, Nathaniel was an ambitious guy. If Nathaniel were to do whatever he wanted, what would happen to Caleb and Aurora, or even the entire Hendrix family? It was simply unpredictable.
As the saying went, “There are things that must be done and things that must not be done”. Isabella did not think that she was a busybody, but the Hendrix family had saved her life. It was fine if she did not know about this matter. However, she now knew about Nathaniel’s true color. She seemed to be equivalent to an accomplice if she ignored it.
She couldn’t do such a thing.
Therefore, she was determined to interfere in the Hendrix family’s matters.
Even if Caleb would be sad and resentful, she would tear apart Nathaniel’s mask and return peace to the Hendrix family.
“If the dose is nasty, swallow it fast.”
Isabella’s heart ached as he pulled Caleb into his arms. She originally thought that this child would blame him for beating up his father. Unexpectedly, he choked up and said, “Ms. Josephina, did Daddy bully you? Sob. Daddy is so bad.”
He overheard the conversation between his father and Ganyra. Although he did not understand what those words meant, he instinctively felt that they were not good words.
Isabella was stunned.
She did not expect Caleb to say that.
For a moment, she could not help but feel complicated.
Ganyra asked, “Caleb, did you see me hit your father?”
She was a little embarrassed, but she still looked straight into the child’s eyes.
Caleb nodded with teary eyes.
Isabella sighed and said seriously, “Caleb, do you blame me?”
Caleb shook his head. “Daddy is bad.”
“Why do you think that your father is bad?” Isabella asked.
Caleb was silent for a while. His black, clear eyes stared fixedly at Isabella, and he said, “Ms. Josephina, my father doesn’t like me. He said scary things and didn’t allow me to tell Mommy. I’m so scared.”
Isabella was truly shocked.
However, Caleb seemed to have activated some mechanism. He lay in Isabella’s arms and sobbed. “Sob, Ms. Josephina, are you a fairy? I don’t dare to tell Mommy. Can I tell you?”
Isabella straightened his small shoulders and stared into his eyes seriously. “Of course, you can. Only you and your uncle know about the secret of me being a fairy. In return, of course, you can tell me about your secret. In this way, we can share our secrets as good friends!”
Two beams of light suddenly lit up in Caleb’s panicked and helpless eyes.
- After dressing and showering Caleb, she led him to the main courtyard.
