"Mommy, I…"
Leo stammered under my inquisition. He had just thrown a tantrum at me, but in front of Catherine, he was a different boy, his eyes filled with anxiety. Catherine looked down at Leo. "Tell me, how did you get that bruise on your face? And how did you end up here?"
Leo's little face turned red under the questioning, making his bruise more conspicuous. It had been treated once before, so Damon didn't give me any other medicine to apply to it.
His anxiety made him sweat, which irritated his wound and caused him to whine. "Mommy, my bruise hurts so much, wah wah…"
Upon hearing Leo's cries, Catherine's emotions became even more unstable. She glared at me, "Ms. Brooks, you should be aware of Leo's status. How dare you kidnap him and let him get injured? Do you have any idea of the consequences?"
I was speechless and out of patience. Just as I was about to retort, Silas and Lisa rushed into the yard.
