Kara was stunned and refused to believe it.
She tilted her head and stared at him in a daze.
“Do you mean that Vivian is also a member of the Abbots?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask James if he has a special ring.”
Corey opened a door that led to a basement.
Kara frowned and looked around. She walked down in fear.
After she walked in, she heard a bang behind her and the door was slammed shut.
She was so scared that her shoulders trembled. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva and her feet stiffened.
“What if there is?”
“There is no if. Vivian, my good sister.” Corey sneered when he mentioned Vivian.
“In order to help her sister find her first boyfriend, she stayed in the Abbot’s and angered her father. She was beaten by her father.
“In a few days, she disappeared.
“We searched for her for a long time, but failed.
“When I found her again, she was already badly injured and had lost her most precious thing.”
Corey continued.
Kara clenched the ring in her hand. Although she had known something in her heart, she still could not accept this result.
Corey meant that her mother and James’s mother were sisters, so she and James were…?
No, that was impossible.
Kara denied it in her heart. She held the engagement ring that James had given her tightly. Her fingertips had been cut and she was unconscious.
“If you don’t believe me, you can verify it with James yourself. I know that he has been investigating the cause of his mother’s death for so many years, but he has been fooled by others.” Corey sneered.
“Do you know something?”
Kara quickened her steps and reached out Corey’s arm to block him.
“What I know has something related to him.” Corey pointed at the medical machinery in front of her and a pile of skeletons.
Kara had been thinking about things just now. Her mind was a mess and she didn’t pay attention to these things. She followed his finger and saw a pile of heads on the ground. She hid behind Corey in fright, her fingers trembling.
“You, why are you taking me to see these?”
“Back then, when I found your mother, the poison in her body flared up as she was pregnant. In order to develop the medicine to treat her, I built a small research lab here.
“But I didn’t expect that when I made it and went to find her, she stopped breathing.” Corey’s tone was sad.
“What kind of poison?”
Kara felt that some things had already been beyond her understanding.
Why was her mother poisoned?
“A type of virus. This kind of thing only appears in some extremely dangerous laboratories. I have investigated for so many years, but I have no clue.”
Corey thought of the past, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile as he let out a mocking laugh.
“Then why did you bring me here?”
Kara looked around and her back was covered in cold sweat. She wanted to leave quickly.
But she was alone, and she didn’t dare to move.
“That’s because there is still that virus left in your body, and it even mutated. Don’t you know?”
Corey saw that her little face was pale and her eyes were guarded as she looked around. She was obviously very scared.
“let’s … let’s leave this place.”
Corey bent over and comforted her as usual.
“Kara, I want to take you away and treat you. Will you agree?”
Kara swallowed her saliva and shook her head.
She now had James, and she could not leave just like that.
“Kara!”
Suddenly, there was a vague sound from the ground.
Although the voice was very soft, she could tell that it was James.
“James, I…”
Kara wanted to respond, but Corey suddenly covered her mouth.
“Oh…”
She glared at him hatefully, unable to struggle, and ruthlessly bit his hand.
“Damn it.”
Corey didn’t expect Kara to be so fierce, and two deep teeth marks were left on his hand by her bite.
“Kara, do you not even want your own life in order to be with James?”
Corey held her in his arms and told her calmly.
“No … oh.”
Kara shook her head. She heard James calling her name, but she couldn’t respond. She could only hear the voice gradually fade away.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she could not struggle free. There was a bit of despair in her heart.
“James, I’m here.
“Don’t go, please,” Kara said in her heart.
“Kara, be good. I’ll take you home. When you’ve recovered, I’ll help you find a better man,” Corey whispered.
Kara glared at him with bloodshot eyes and shook her head desperately.
The man who treated her the best in this world, other than her father, was only James.
She didn’t want to leave him, she didn’t want to!
“Kara.”
Once again, James’s voice came closer, and Kara was pleasantly surprised.
Her whole body seemed to be full of strength. She stepped on Corey’s foot and pushed down the iron block beside her, struggling to make some noise.
Not long after, the door to the basement was kicked open, and the sound of running footsteps could be heard.
“James,”
When Kara saw James coming, she happily wanted to run to his side, but he was pulled by Corey.
“You’d better let go of my wife!”
James ran into the basement. When he saw Kara, who had been grabbed by Corey, his face darkened.
She wanted to rush over, but she was worried that he would hurt Kara.
“James, you know very well how you make her become your wife. She didn’t do it voluntarily at all. You don’t deserve to call her wife!” Corey mocked.
James’s eyes were cold as he tried to take two steps forward.
“Mr. James.”
Nolan and John also ran into the basement. When they saw Corey, they both guarded behind James.
It was now one against three, and Corey still had Kara with him, so it was impossible for him to leave this place.
Corey could see the situation clearly, so he no longer made things difficult for Kara and released her.
Kara was released and ran towards James without hesitation.
James wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, as if she would be stolen.
“James, I’m scared.”
James lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. He held the back of her head and tried to comfort her.
“Kara, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
In fact, James was afraid too.
He was afraid that if Kara was taken away, he would never see her again.
Knowing that she was frightened, he picked her up and turned to leave.
Corey looked at the two of them hugging each other intimately and naturally. He narrowed his eyes and let out a disdainful sneer.
“James, I will be waiting for you to bring Kara to me!”
“That will definitely be the day of your death!”
James ignored his words and carried Kara out of the basement.
In the car, the sun set and night fell.
Autumn came. The day was short and the night was long.
In the dark sky, the night wind blew and it was a bit cold.
James took off his coat and covered Kara with it, letting her sit on his knees, refusing to let go.
Kara also clung to him, grabbed his shirt, and rubbed against him in his arms.
He found the wound on her wrist.
“Who did this?”
Kara stared at her wrist and explained with grievance, “Eva sent someone to arrest me and Jamya. She asked Jamya to divorce, then left two men to bully me.
“Fortunately, it was Corey who saved me. He had already applied medicine and was much better.
However, Corey was too ruthless, directly killing them.
“Corey?”
“It was the man who said that he would take me away. In fact, he was my mom’s brother. However, I don’t like him.”
Kara thought of Corey’s words, saying that she had another relationship with James, and she hugged him in fear.
“James, I like you. I don’t want to leave you, never!”
