After seeing Conrad off, Yakira went to the room to check on Abel and Minnie. "Abel? Minnie?" She pushed open the door, worried they'd be affected by Brayden's appearance. Luckily, they seemed fine, which put her mind at ease. "Mommy, how are you? Are you hurt?" Abel asked worriedly. He thought, "Bad Daddy! He actually pushed Mommy down."" Yakira said softly, "No. I'm fine." Brayden didn't exactly exert much force; she lost her balance and fell to the ground because she was so worried. "Alright. Abel, Minnie, go to bed early, OK? We're going back to Peraham tomorrow," she said. "Tomorrow? " Minnie was shocked. She nodded. "Yes. I'm done dealing with things here. Besides, I've got to go back to work. The company needs me." Chapter 18 Let's Switch She didn't mention anything about Brayden because she didn't want them to worry. And she hadn't figured out a way to tell them about Brayden and her. Since they didn't ask further, she didn't elaborate. "OK." Abel nodded. He had no objection to going back to Peraham; if they stayed here any longer, Brayden might do something to hurt Yakira again. Yakira reminded them to go to bed early again and then walked out of the room. Abel jumped down from the chair. "Minnie, go to bed. You heard Mommy. We can go back to Peraham tomorrow!" "Abel." Minnie tugged at his sleeve. "Yeah?" He turned around and looked at her. She said, looking worried, "If we go back, what about Daron?" After spending a couple of days with Daron, she had grown attached to him. Chapter 18 Let's Switch She didn't know whether they'd come back after going back to Peraham this time. Maybe she'd never see Daron again. Abel frowned; he totally forgot about Daron. Av He mused, "Bad Daddy won't let him come with us. If we take him, maybe none of us can leave. You saw how Bad Daddy bullied Mommy." Minnie nodded, figuring he was right. "Daron will be so sad if we leave just like this," she added. Abel thought about it seriously and said, "How about this? I'll go out early tomorrow and talk to him about us going back to Peraham. "After we go back there, we'll think about it and come up with a plan to get Daron back without letting Bad Daddy hurt Mommy!" "OK. I'll cover for you." Minnie had never been so serious. Early in the morning, Abel went out with her help and headed to the Blanchard's villa. "Daron hasn't come around?" Though Brayden seemed as cold as ever, the worry on his face Chapter 18 Let's Switch was palpable as he looked at Daron in the bed. After being sedated yesterday, he had been unconscious, and no one could wake him up. The servant stammered, "No... Not yet." "Bray." Ralph strode in. Brayden looked at him. "Did you overdose Daron yesterday? He should've woken up by now!" Ralph frowned and stepped forward to examine Daron. "There's nothing wrong with the dosage. Daron wouldn't come around." Brayden frowned, his expression growing grim. "What do you mean?" "What happened yesterday was too much for him, and he has chosen to remain unconscious," Ralph explained. "Bray, I've already told you about Daron's condition, and I'm sure you can tell. He's been doing worse, and this? This is categorized as a suicide attempt. With this, chances are, he may do something more extreme next time." Brayden's expression grew icier. Chapter 18 Let's Switch Abel, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was shocked. He had no idea Daron's illness was this serious. www. "Bray, only Yakira can save Daron now," Ralph emphasized again. Mommy? Abel was stunned again. He was about to hear more when footsteps sounded, so he hid in a corner hastily. The room door opened, and Brayden strode out with an icy expression. Ralph followed him closely. Abel went inside after all the servants left the room. He felt so bad for Daron, who remained unconscious. "Daron? Daron!" he called out to Daron a few times. "Wake up, Daron. I'm Abel." Yet, Daron remained unresponsive. "Daron, if you don't wake up, I'm leaving. We're going back to Peraham today!" Chapter 18 Let's Switch Suddenly, Daron's eyes opened. He looked at Abel. Startled, Abel blinked. It took him a second before he reacted. "Daron? It's so good to see you awake. "Mommy's going back to Peraham?" Daron asked, his voice low. Abel nodded and whispered, "We're leaving this afternoon. I'm here to say bye." Daron immediately burst into tears. "Hey, don't cry." Abel panicked at Daron's tears at once. "Don't get us wrong. We're not abandoning you. Minnie and I are trying to think of a way to snatch you away from Bad Daddy, and then you, me, Minnie, and Mommy can stay forever!" However, Daron kept crying as if he hadn't heard Abel's words at all. Abel was utterly anxious. He thought, "Daron's sick already. Did I just upset him? "That doctor said Daron couldn't handle any more emotional Chapter 18 Let's Switch stress. "Mommy... "Wait. The doctor also said Daron's sick because Mommy isn't by his side." "Daron, let's switch. You can go back to Peraham with Mommy. I'll stay here," he blurted out. He thought, "I'm fine with staying with Bad Daddy if staying with Yakira can really cure Daron. "Daron can go back to Peraham together with Mommy and Minnie. After I figure out how to get rid of Bad Daddy, I'll find a chance to tell Mommy about Daron. "Mommy will be so happy to know Daron's still alive."" Daron stopped crying and looked at Abel in shock. Abel nodded, making up his mind. "Daron, go back to Mommy and Minnie. I'll stick around. Bad Daddy wouldn't notice anything any time soon." Then Abel called Minnie and told her his plan. After that, he covered for Daron as they snuck out of the Blanchard's villa and hailed Daron a cab. Chapter 18 Let's Switch "Daron, take care of Mommy for me. Don't let her be sad, OK? "Keep in touch with me. I wanna know how Mommy's doing." Abel instructed when looking at Daron in the cab. Daron nodded hard. Abel was very sad as the cab left. The thought of leaving Yakira upset him greatly, and tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. "Mr. Daron?" Seeing him at the door, Aaron was both shocked and surprised. "Mr. Daron, you've come around!" Spotting the tears on Abel's face, Aaron grew anxious. "Mr. Daron, what's wrong?" Abel wiped his tears away quickly. "I'm fine." With that, he went back inside. Chapter 19 He Never Believes Her
