Chapter 947 Scarlett is Caught
Charles blinked his big eyes and nodded, "Okay!"
Katherine let Charles half-lie on the hospital bed, covered him with a blanket, and then began to speak.
"Charles, what happened today was an accident, it won't happen again. You need to remember the experience this incident brought you, be more vigilant in the future, and promise Mommy, don't let this incident leave a shadow in your heart, okay?"
Katherine was comforting Charles, afraid he might develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
Hearing Katherine say this, Charles pouted aggrievedly, "But it was so scary. Every time I close my eyes, I see Scarlett hitting me. Mommy, can I go with you to work every day from now on? Can I never leave you?"
Seeing the once optimistic and sensible Charles so frightened, Katherine felt as if her heart was bleeding. She reached out and gently rubbed Charles's head, "Silly boy, now that your daddy is back, I don't have to go to work every day anymore. I can stay at home with you, George, Edith, and Julian every day!"
"Really?" Charles seemed to be comforted and relaxed.
Katherine gently stroked his soft hair, "But, because you are still a child now, Mommy can always be by your side. In the future, you will grow up, and Mommy won't be able to be with you every day! When you grow up, you will have to act independently. If Mommy stays with you every day then, you will get annoyed!"
Charles's eyes were incredibly determined, "No way! I will never get annoyed with Mommy. I want to be with Mommy forever!"
This time, before Katherine could say anything, Alex came over and pinched Charles's cheek, "Dream on! Mommy will be with Daddy forever! When you grow up, you will find a wife and cling to her!"
Charles was stunned, looked up at Alex, then at Katherine beside him, and finally smiled, "It's great that Daddy and Mommy are together again!"
Katherine smiled at Charles and then glanced at Alex disdainfully, "Why did you say that to a kid?"
Alex pulled a chair and sat beside them, "Charles is so young and already wants to compete with me for you. I have to make him understand early that he needs to find his own wife in the future!"
Katherine pouted, "You're even jealous of Charles!"
Their relationship had not been easy. They almost never had a real time alone together before having four children, and they were separated for several years due to external forces. How could he bear to share Katherine with anyone?
At this moment, Alex's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and then got up, "I need to take a call!"
After saying that, he quickly turned and left.
Katherine didn't pay much attention, turned to look at Charles, and asked, "Charles, was the urine in the cave a clue you left for Mommy on purpose?"
Charles nodded.
Katherine was very pleased and patted Charles's head approvingly, "You are so smart, knowing to leave such an important clue for Mommy."
Charles pouted, "At that time, I was really scared that I would never see Mommy again. I remembered that Mommy had told us that if we ever encountered bad people, we must find a way to leave a clue for Mommy so that Mommy would have a chance to find us! I was tied up all over and couldn't leave any items, so I had to leave some scent. Scarlett had her complice carry me down the mountain, and I peed a little every now and then, all the way down. Mommy, you won't dislike me, will you?"
Katherine shook her head, "Of course not! Mommy just thinks you are pretty smart!"
Hearing Katherine say she wouldn't dislike him, Charles finally relaxed.
Actually, he himself felt a bit disgusted with how dirty he was.
Katherine remembered something and asked, "When Mommy found you, you weren't breathing, was that on purpose too?"
Charles pouted and nodded honestly, "At first, yes. Before Mommy came, Scarlett kept hitting and kicking me. I held my breath to make her think I was dead and leave me, so I could find Mommy myself! Later, I heard Mommy's voice calling me, but I didn't dare believe it, afraid it was a hallucination, so I didn't open my eyes."
Katherine was very pleased and smiled, "You did very well. It's not easy to think of this at your age! Charles, Mommy is proud of you!"
Charles really saved himself. If he hadn't deliberately peed his pants to leave such a clear scent, the police dogs wouldn't have found him so quickly and accurately!
He was such a smart and adorable child, yet Scarlett, that horrible woman, dared to abuse him, taking out her frustrations on him!
Scarlett didn't even deserve to be called human!
At this moment, in the corridor, Alex answered a call from a subordinate, telling him that Scarlett had been caught!
Alex returned to the ward and told Katherine that he was going out to buy some food for her and would be back soon. He then arranged for many people to guard Charles's ward door to protect his wife and child, and he himself was about to go find Scarlett to settle the score!
As he walked quickly to the elevator, Bernard appeared in front of him, his eyes deep and helpless, "Did you catch her?"
Alex nodded slightly, "Yes."
"I'll go with you to see her."
"At this point, you still want to protect Scarlett?"
Bernard sighed, "No, I just want to ask her why she became like this!"
Alex coldly withdrew his gaze, neither agreeing nor refusing, and strode into the elevator.
Bernard followed him in, feeling very complicated.
Sunny saw Edwin's face getting worse and worse and couldn't bear to let him sit on the sofa any longer, "Dad, Bernard is gone too, you should go home! Katherine is now in the children's ward with Charles, she probably won't come back! Tomorrow, I'll bring you here to see her again!"
Edwin looked up at Sunny, then at the empty bed where Katherine had been lying.
She probably really wouldn't come back!
Well, if she didn't come back, it meant her condition was fine, which is good. He would listen to Sunny and come back to see her tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Edwin nodded and accepted Sunny's help to get up, "Okay, let's go!"
