If she had a choice, she would choose to stay single and raise the children herself, living a peaceful life.
However, she noticed that circumstances have changed.
Daemon, who was supposed to be invincible, had gotten himself wounded.
No wonder he didn't come to Aymo City despite all the chaos that happened. He is facing trouble of his own. He doesn't want to talk about it because he doesn't want me to worry.
The more she thought about it, the more unnerved she became. Together with Rogan and another two bodyguards, she went to see Daemon.
Although it had stopped snowing, it was still freezing cold outside.
As the Lierger jeeps drove through the heavy snow, they arrived at Daemon's castle in no time.
The lights in the castle had been turned off while the guests were already resting. Only the night sentries were on patrol.
The moment Carla alighted, the bodyguards hurried up to her. However, she signaled for them to back off as she wanted to see Daemon discreetly.
Carla hurried up to the study on the second floor as she knew that Daemon would be there at that hour.
The guard at the door bowed to greet her. Just when he wanted to announce her presence, she stopped him and gently pushed open the door.
However, Carla was stunned by the sight that greeted her.
Daemon was lying on the sofa with his back facing her. On his muscular back, was a long open wound that exposed his flesh. It was a frightening sight indeed.
The doctor was there to dress his wound. Every movement caused his muscles to tremble. However, he never made a sound, as if it didn't hurt at all.
"Daemon!" Carla rushed in anxiously.
Daemon snapped in displeasure, "Why are you here?"
Harrison quickly ordered the door to be closed before asking, "Ms. Lierger, why didn't you let us know in advance that you were coming?"
"What happened?" Carla asked with concern. "How did you get yourself hurt? Who did it?"
"It's a long story…" Harrison didn't know where to begin. "However, don't you worry. The wound is about to heal."
"What do you mean ‘heal'? Isn't it obvious it's still bleeding?" Carla was outraged. "Who is capable enough of hurting Daemon?"
"Out, all of you." Daemon ordered in a low voice.
"Mr. Lierger, I'm not done dressing your wound yet, " the doctor highlighted warily.
Daemon shot him a glare.
Taking a bow, the doctor left in panic.
After sending everyone else out, Harrison stood guard by the door.
Daemon put his shirt back on and buttoned it one by one. Then, he turned around slowly. "What's so urgent?"
"We need to talk." Carla knitted her eyebrows at him.
"Ten minutes."
Raising a cup of coffee, Daemon took a sip without even looking up.
He had always been a decisive person and never liked to be wishy-washy.
Every minute was precious to him. Hence, he hated it when his time was wasted.
"Did something happen?" Carla pressed on anxiously. "Can you tell me about it?"
"Whatever it is, I'll deal with it, " Daemon plainly replied. "All you need to do is to live your life."
"But-"
Daemon was in no mood to discuss it with her. In fact, he snapped, "It's pointless for you to insist on talking about this."
"Given how indecisive you are, it's hard for you to amount to anything. And now, you intend on worrying about something that has nothing to do with you? Don't you know where to draw the line by now?"
"I know-"
"You don't." Daemon cut her off and admonished her, "If you did, you wouldn't have brought the children back nor rejected the Laurent family's marriage proposal."
"But Daemon, those children are mine. I cannot abandon them."
Carla would never compromise when it came to the children.
"Although Zayn is a scum, he is still a responsible father. If they had stayed with him, they would inherit the Giblo Group and have a secure future."
