Alisson's eyebrows twitched. Her forehead suddenly wrinkled. Slowly but surely, Alisson opened her eyes. She saw the figure she loved so much sitting in front of her and looking at her lovingly.
"Even in dreams, you are so sweet," Alisson sneered. The smile that she always remembered, the smile that always appeared from the fragments of her dreams for the past six years.
Six years after her husband left, there was no way he was coming back, right? Alisson buried her head back into the pillow. With a slightly rambling voice, Alisson added. "If you're only coming to leave again, don't ever show up in my life again."
Carson's whole soul was in turmoil. Was Alisson so miserable that she couldn't believe this was real? Was she that miserable?
Carson's heart shattered into tiny pieces. He felt he had failed as a husband.
He gently caressed Alisson's face. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Carson shed his tears, but he quickly wiped them away. His voice was soft and filled with love. "Alice, this is not a dream."
Alisson tried to move her body. The pain gnawed at her entire body, which made her grimace in pain.
Alisson looked at Carson's face for a while before asking, "So this isn't a dream?" asked Alisson, making sure.
Carson looked lovingly at Alisson's face. She nodded gently. "It's not a dream. It's me."
When he realized that he was not dreaming, he gasped. Alisson got up, ignoring the pain in her body. Her expression changed. She looked so angry and disappointed. Alisson's gentle and loving expression disappeared like it never existed.
Carson was shocked. What suffering had made his wife change so much?
However, in his heart, Carson cursed himself. What suffering? It was obvious that his wife had suffered a lot. In fact, their first meeting after six years had to be done in the most undesirable way.
A slap landed on Carson's face. Alisson's body shook violently. She slapped Carson's face so many times that her hand stung. However, Carson did not move at all. "Why did you just come back, huh? Why did you come back?"
Alisson looked at her husband's face with complicated feelings. The raging anger, the accumulated hatred, the unstoppable longing, and the boundless love made her at a loss as to how to express it. "After all these years, why did you just come back?"
Alisson slapped Carson again. "Why don't you dodge, you bastard!"
Carson shook his head. "No," he replied.
Immense regret filled his heart. His debt to Alisson was so great. In fact, if he used his entire life to pay, it would not be enough. "I'm guilty, I...."
"Enough!" Alisson's tears were unstoppable. She cried until her body trembled. "Why did you never contact me, even for one time?"
"I'm ...." Carson couldn't answer her. Circumstances forced him to cut off all contact with the outside world.
The woman covered her face with both hands. Her tears broke. She shook her head repeatedly. "I... I couldn't find you anywhere I looked. Where have you been all this time? I wondered if you were dead!"
Carson pulled Alisson into his arms. "I can't ask you to forgive me, but give me a chance."
Alisson continued to cry in Carson's arms. She hit her husband's chest as hard as she could vent her emotions.
The anger and sadness that she had been harboring overflowed unstoppably.
Carson was not angry. He accepted everything gracefully. It was only fitting that he should accept all of this.
On the other hand, Roger, who was still in a kneeling position, did not expect to see a scene like this. He didn't expect that the holy dragon general, whose presence made enemy soldiers run away, was such a gentle figure. He could only stare at all of this.
"Charlotte!" In the midst of his crying, Alisson remembered the whereabouts of his daughter, who was held captive. Suddenly, it made him panic. He looked at Carson's face with a pleading look. "Carson, hurry up and save our daughter!"
Carson widened his eyes.Carson's heart pounded with a furrowed brow. Surely, he never thought that he already had a child.
He pointed at himself with a few winks. "My daughter?"
"Our daughter... our daughter is suffering so much!" Alisson's tears broke out again. Alisson repeatedly wiped her tears, but she never finished. she picked up his cell phone and handed it to Carson. "They're hurting our daughter, Carry. Our daughter is suffering so much!"
Carson received the cell phone and opened the video. A cute little child was seen crying. The little girl looked beautiful even though she looked a mess. He clenched his fist and put down Alisson's cell phone unceremoniously.
Killing intent was in his eyes. Carson walked up to Sergio and pulled his shirt collar up until Sergio's body was lifted.
"Damn it!" Carson shouted angrily. His hands shook, and he almost strangled Sergio. "You're not only hurting my wife but also my daughter, who doesn't know anything yet!"
Carsom's face was so angry. Alisson, whom he loved so much, was poorly treated, and then he learned another new fact about his suffering child. His anger was like an erupting mountain. He was going to make them die. However, when it was his daughter who was being harassed, he wanted to choke Sergio to death.
"Sir, wait a minute, listen to me!" Sergio grabbed Carson's wrist. "I can explain it to you!"
Carson's gaze smoldered. "What else do you want to explain!" He didn't seem to care.
Sergio felt Carson's grip on his neck begin to tighten. He began to have trouble breathing. "Sir, not like this...."
"What do you want then?" snapped Carson. He brought his face closer, making Sergio pale with fear. "You want to feel what my daughter feels?"
He gritted his teeth and released the choke, but his hands didn't stop. He grabbed Sergio's head and pulled his hair.
Sergio's eyes turned red. He felt so much pain. Without realizing it, he gripped Carson's hand. "Sir, I am guilty, but listen to my explanation first."
"What's the explanation again, huh?" Carson didn't want to hear any excuses from Sergio's mouth. He had raised his hand and was about to crush Sergio's head.
Sergio closed his eyes, terrified. However, he did not want to bear this punishment alone. He shouted and hoped that Carson would hear him. "Lucy tortured your daughter!"
Sergio still had his eyes closed. A few seconds passed, but he sensed that only the wind was passing over his face. He hesitantly opened his eyes. He looked relieved when he realized that Carson had lowered his hand.
"Mr. General, listen to me," Sergio said again. "Lucy designed all of this. He was the one who suggested using that boy as bait."
Seeing that Carson did not call, Sergio spoke again. "The Ramos family has many bodyguards. If we wanted to use violence, we wouldn't have hurt the children. It just tarnishes our pride."
Carson threw Sergio's body to the floor so hard. Sergio wanted to whimper in pain, but he did not dare to do so. He could only stifle her moans inwardly.
"LUCY!" Carson shouted angrily. He turned his gaze to Darwis. "Take care of my wife!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Carson's sharp gaze intimidated Sergio. "If anything bad happens to my daughter, you will all die!"
Darwis had tracked the video sender's cell phone and provided Carson with the coordinates. In addition to the coordinates, Darwis also provided details of the property owner. Carson punched the steering wheel hard when he found out the house belonged to Lucy, his wife's cousin. He used Roger's jeep and drove it at high speed. With military plates and special sirens, all passing cars immediately pulled over and gave way. A text message with a link came in, followed by a short message written by Darwis.“General, mayday! Look." Carson immediately pressed the link connected to the live broadcast on social media. His anger peaked when he saw the contents of the video. Meanwhile, Lucy forcibly brought Charlotte to the rooftop of her house. Her little bare feet stepped onto the house's rooftop, which was hot from the summer sun. Lucy forced Charlotte to walk barefoot even though the child looked in pain. Then, she tied Charlotte to a chair. The child's face was slightly swollen and red
"Savage!" Carson immediately ran over to Lucy and slapped her hard. Lucy, who was busy greeting her audience, did not notice Carson's arrival. "Bastard!" cursed Lucy, holding her cheeks that were red from Carson's slap. Carson kicked the cell phone used for live broadcasting and destroyed it instantly. "Who are you to slap me!" Lucy shouted angrily. She was the daughter of the Baker family, raised in comfort and security. Not a single person dared to treat her badly. Carson ignored Lucy's question. He walked over to Charlotte and looked at the child's condition. "Lotte... dear ...." Part of Charlotte's face was crushed, and her head was also bleeding. Carson's heart broke when he saw how bad his daughter's condition was. He took off his shirt and used it to bandage the wound on his daughter's head. "Hang in there, baby." He said. Carson looked at his daughter with regret. If only he had arrived earlier, his daughter would not have been injured like this. A wave of anger exp
Charlotte's eyebrows quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned to see a strange man sitting in front of her. Charlotte tried to get up, but her whole body ached. Charlotte initially felt a little scared, but when she remembered that the figure in front of her was her helper, her fear instantly disappeared. She then asked, "Uncle ... did you help me?" Charlotte asked. Her voice was so weak. "Thank you," she continued.Seeing Charlotte finally wake up after a period of unconsciousness, Carson felt very happy. However, when he heard his daughter call him uncle, Carson was so sad. He took Charlotte's hand and touched it gently. "Dear Lotte, this is Daddy," Carson said. He smiled with emotion. He couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears. His heart was filled with happiness when he finally met his daughter. The expected meeting would be filled with joy, but instead, he had to see his daughter, who was seriously injured. "Sorry... I'm sorry." Charlotte was shocked to
After medical treatment, Charlotte's condition improved somewhat. Seeing her daughter in pain while being treated it hit Carson hard. Charlotte's words were still ringing in Carson's head. He promised himself that he would protect Charlotte with everything he had. Even Heaven would fight Carson if it were to protect his beloved daughter. "I'm going home with my daughter and wife first. You drop us off.""Yes, sir." Darwis nodded, and he agreed. He went down first to prepare the car to take Carson's little family.After giving orders to Darwis, Carson approached Alison and Charlotte again. "Who was that man?" Alison asked. She was curious why the man was always helping them."He was my friend in the military. "We are good friends." Carson lied a little. "Really?" Alison was a little sceptical."I'm not lying. Come on, let's go home." Carson invited Alison to go home. Alison nodded. She got up, and Alison winced slightly as she felt her body still sore. She helped Charlotte to get
"You're ...." Paula just wanted to scold Carson. She still hasn't forgiven Carson for what happened in the past six years. It's just that suddenly the phone rang. Paula didn't finish her sentence and chose to pick up the ringing telephone. When she heard the one word that came out of it. Paula's heart immediately beat faster. Sweat dripped from her forehead slowly. Paula even fell silent for a minute. Her face looked pale and panicked. "Did you hear what I said?" The voice on the other side of the phone snapped at Paula. The person on the other end was angry that Paula was not responding. The woman on the phone was Alison's grandmother or Paula's mother in law. Her name was Nora. Paula swallowed. She calmed herself down first before answering. "Yes, I heard that, ma'am." "That's good. You should come here now because Mr. Marshal’s wedding has been advanced to tomorrow. Hurry up, I don't have time." Nora lowered her tone slightly after Paula's reply, but in part about asking Pa
"Darwis, can you get me the Marshall family's wedding invitation? I need it immediately."Without further ado, Darwis immediately nodded. "Very well, sir. I'll get it right away." Afterwards, Darwis immediately contacted everyone he knew to get the Marshall family's wedding invitation letter. He didn't want to disappoint Carson. As soon as possible, he will get it. Carson wanted to leave immediately. "Can you catch up with me after getting it? Don't take too long. I can't wait." Carson firmly said that. He walked to the car and drove to his grandmother's house. This time, he pushed himself. Not long after, Carson left there. Darwis got the invitation letter that Carson wanted. He immediately went to get the invitation to hand it over to Carson. Not long after, Carson was not in front of his grandmother's house. The house was big, bigger than the house they owned earlier. The comparison was like a poor man's house and a rich man's house. Carson got out of the car. At that moment,
George insulted Alison over and over again, which angered Carson. He clenched his fists. Alison tried to stop Carson, but she couldn't this time. Carson had reached his limit. Carson took one step forward, which frightened Alison's two cousins. Their faces were pale. "What are you going to do? If you hit us. Grandma won't stay silent. She will punish you." Vivian tried to threaten Carson, but it didn't make Carson flinch. He wasn't scared at all. George and Vivian had gone too far. It was unforgivable. George and Vivian fell because they tripped over their own feet. "Stop! If you hit us. Your little family will be expelled from the big family."Carson stepped forward. He was already very close to George and Vivian. "Stop! What are you doing? If you dare to hurt my two grandchildren. I will kill you." Someone shouted from behind. Nora went inside with several people following her. "You have destroyed this family's reputation and still dare to show your face here. How shameless. You'
Nora laughed at Carson's words. Even Nora did not believe the golden invitation Carson pointed to. She was sure that it was a fake. Whichever way you look at it, it never occurred to Nora that Carson would get an invitation. Nora turned her head towards George. He quickly got up and walked over to Nora. "What's wrong, Grandma?" George bent his body slightly. Nora was the most respected member of the family. "Beat up that liar!"Nora's orders were absolute in that family. George swallowed; he felt that this was not something he could do. Carson's gaze was imprinted in George's head. It was just that he couldn't contradict Nora. She turned to Vivian and asked her cousin to help her. "But," Vivian hesitated."Both of us. I'm sure we can."Vivian finally agreed to that. The two of them looked at each other. Both went in two different directions, thinking that this way, they could defeat Carson. Both of them advanced at the same time, which should have divided Carson's focus. Unfortunat
