Raising her gaze at the majestic building, Carla looked at the gardens, the bodyguards, and the old servants. Inside her, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.
At that moment, countless disjointed images flashed across her mind. The images were from the time she lived in the villa.
Every one of them was warm and blissful.
Given that she didn't resent the place, it meant she had many happy memories there.
Carla recalled the last time she came to the Giblo residence.
At that time, Jombo had sent a messenger to Northridge to warn her that her pet was frightening his great-grandchildren.
Infuriated, she brought the eagle to the Giblo residence so that she could show them who was the boss.
However, she ended up frightening her own children.
Due to her rash actions, Randy saw the black gold ring on Dori's legs. With that, he managed to locate her by chance.
Everything seemed to have been dictated by fate.
And destiny had decided that she was to come home sooner or later.
Even if her relationship with Zayn couldn't be reconciled, she had to protect her children from any threats they faced.
She would never forgive anyone who dared to hurt her children.
"Daddy!" Randy's vibrant voice rang out, interrupting Carla's thoughts.
"Randy!" Zayn bent over and stretched out his arms.
Randy dashed over and threw himself into Zayn's embrace. After leaving home for such a long time, he missed his daddy a lot. Since what happened at the Lierger residence the last time, he was worried about Zayn every day.
Watching father and son reunite, Carla felt a rush of conflicting emotions.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Josh and Venus's screams could be heard from inside the house.
Just when Zayn was about to check, Carla dashed in right away.
A minute ago, just when Josh was carrying Venus down the spiral staircase, he felt someone suddenly push him from behind. Losing his balance, both he and Venus tumbled down the steps.
At the crucial moment, someone dashed forward to cushion their fall, mitigating any further injuries.
"Mommy!" Josh cried out subconsciously.
However, when he turned to look, he realized it was Selena instead of Carla.
"Josh! Venus!"
Dashing over anxiously, Carla coincidentally saw Selena lunging forward to save the children with little regard for her own safety.
Obviously, everyone else saw the moving scene.
Everyone, including Zayn was stunned.
Holding onto her injured back, Selena struggled to get up. She signed, "Josh, Venus, are you all right?"
"We're fine." Josh shook his head. "Thank you, Ms. Selena."
Considering Josh wasn't home recently, he wasn't aware of Selena's wrongdoings. As for how the nurses bullied Venus, he assumed it was due to their own behavior and didn't think much about it.
"Mommy…"
When Venus saw Carla, she cried with her hands outstretched.
Carla ran over and picked her up at once. Holding her haggard little face, she asked, "Venus, are you all right?"
"Mommy, I'm scared."
Hugging onto Carla tightly, Venus bawled her lungs out.
At that moment, all the panic and fear that she felt were released. The only place where she felt safe was in her mommy's arms.
"Venus, don't be afraid. Calm down…" Carla gently patted her on her back. She softly comforted her, "Mommy is here. No one will dare harm you now."
"Boohoo…" Despite nodding in acknowledgment, Venus continued crying.
"Mommy…" When Josh saw Venus crying, he too burst into tears.
At the same time, many of the old servants teared up at the scene.
"Josh, come over here. Let me see if you're hurt." Carla pulled Josh closer to check.
"I'm fine." Josh shook his head. Sobbing, he remarked, "Mommy, you're finally home. We have been looking forward to your return every day."
