Chapter 168 Harper Called Him "Dad"
Feeling the familiar warmth and breath once again, Sarah sensed as though she had traveled through time. She glanced up at the man standing so close, and Lisa's words echoed in her mind.
Suddenly, regret flooded Sarah. Why hadn't she summoned the courage to push open that door and confront everything herself?
Perhaps if she had, what followed wouldn't have transpired.
At that moment, the police made their move.
Sarah didn't see what happened next because Antonio picked her up and hurriedly walked out. All she heard were Tim's cries of pain and Lisa's screams.
"Mommy!" Ethan and Harper ran towards Sarah, crying.
Seeing this, Antonio put Sarah down and looked at the scene of the three of them embracing. Finally, he could let go of the worry that had plagued him all along.
Thank goodness they are all safe. Otherwise, I would regret it for the rest of my life!
"Mommy, I'm sorry..." Harper whimpered softly, her tiny hands clutching Sarah's arm tightly. If she hadn't misbehaved, they wouldn't have easily kidnapped them.
"It's alright. Mommy doesn't blame you, Harper. You are amazing."
Sarah gently stroked her daughter's forehead and then looked at Ethan's guilty eyes. She didn't blame the children. After all, this was Lisa's carefully arranged plan, and no one could have anticipated it.
Just then, the police brought Tim and Lisa, now in custody, to the scene and prepared to put them into a police car.
Tim, who had lost his arrogance, would return to that prison cell again. But this time, it would be different. This time, he would rot in there!
As for Lisa, she had never imagined that she would become a prisoner one day. She couldn't accept this reality and continued to struggle. If it weren't for the fact that the police saw her as a woman, they might have used violence to subdue her!
While passing by Sarah and Antonio, Lisa suddenly stopped in her tracks. But the police forcefully held her shoulders, preventing her from getting close to anyone else.
At that moment, Lisa knew she was finished. She looked at the children and the couple with sheer hatred.
Unrestrained, she laughed maniacally, saying, "Sarah, do you think you've won? Even if I did those things, what does it matter? Do you think you can be with him from now on? Let me tell you: it's impossible! The existence of my son can never be erased—"
"Lisa, that's enough!" Antonio angrily reprimanded.
Ryan's existence had allowed him to tolerate her actions again and again. He tolerated her behavior, but she had crossed the line this time.
If the police didn't arrest her, he would personally end this woman!
Even if Lucien protected her, he could still make her disappear from this world!
Lisa was intimidated by his fierce gaze. She realized that Antonio wanted to kill her... She never thought she would love him so obsessively and end up in such a situation.
Finally, as the police car went away, Sarah stood in place, unable to calm down for a long time...
She only snapped back to reality when Alex walked up to her and asked about her injuries..
"I'm fine, just superficial wounds..." she said, glancing at Antonio, who was standing in front of children not far away.
He crouched down, saying something to them. Then Ethan turned and ran away, while Harper...
"Daddy!"
Harper threw herself into Antonio's arms, crying and calling him "Daddy: with a mix of joy and sadness!
Antonio felt the warmth from the little person in his arms, and his heart was filled with warmth.
This was his daughter. From the beginning, he couldn't resist being good to her, spoiling her...
All of this had a reason; their bond of blood couldn't be severed.
"I'm sorry, Harper."
Even the typically cold and ruthless CEO of Valencia Inc. had a moment of humility, lowering his head in apology when facing his daughter.
Sarah watched this scene from a distance, feeling a mix of emotions, especially seeing the desolate-looking Ethan return to her side. She knew he still couldn't accept Antonio.
At that moment, Ethan, with wide eyes, sincerely asked, "Mommy, can we still go abroad?"
That sentence hit Sarah right in the heart.
Could they still leave?
She looked at Antonio, and her eyes gradually darkened.
After learning the truth, she seemed to have no reason to hate Antonio anymore. But if they didn't leave, then what was the purpose of everything she had done during this time?
Lisa's revelation was true, but why did he say such heartless words when she called him in despair?
Alex noticed Sarah's distraction and came over, picking up Ethan. He gently told her, "Stop thinking so much for now. Let's go back to the hotel."
"Okay." With that, she got into Alex's car with Ethan while Antonio carried his daughter and saw Alex's car pass by.
He frowned, feeling that Sarah had been acting abnormally just now.
Did something happen that I don't know about? Or did Lisa say something to her?
