Carla knew Jombo was lying to Randy. Clearly, she had to leave no matter how reluctant she was.
Gradually, she calmed down and regained her sanity.
Carla had seen firsthand what happened to Simon. I can't let the kids suffer because of me.
I've been poisoned and might die anytime. There's no way I can take care of them.
It's better for them to remain in the Giblo family instead of wandering around with me.
As that thought occurred to her, Carla nodded, her eyes sparkling with tears. "Yes, he's right. I'm sick and need to be treated."
"Why did you…" Randy trailed off in confusion.
"Silly boy. It hurts to get a shot, right?" Carla bent down and patted his head gently. She forced out a smile and said, "I'm afraid of that so I refused to go to the hospital."
"Mommy, don't be scared." Randy flung his arms around her and patted her. "You'll recover after getting a shot. Be brave!"
"Mm!" Carla bit her lip and gave a firm nod, trying to stop herself from crying out loud.
"Look, I didn't lie to you!" Jombo waved him over. "Come to me. Your daddy will make sure your mommy gets treated."
Randy looked at Zayn, seeking confirmation.
Zayn gave him a little push. "Go!"
Both Carla and Zayn had come to a tacit agreement that they shouldn't involve the kids in their matters.
Hence, they played along with Jombo.
Randy went to Jombo and took his wrinkly hand.
The bodyguards stepped up and said politely, "Ms. Wigston, this way, please."
Carla didn't fight back. She took the hem of her dress and followed them out.
When she walked past Randy, she glanced at her son as tears rolled down her cheeks. A smile flitted across her lips as she told him, "Randy, take good care of yourself and your siblings, alright?"
Her voice was trembling along with her heart.
She couldn't understand why the Giblo family insisted on sending her away and that Zayn, who had always been on her side, would suddenly go back on his word.
It came as a complete shock to her.
However, she knew she was powerless to resist.
She could only pray that the kids would get to live a great life in the Giblo family.
"Got it, " said Randy as he nodded, tears glistening in his eyes. "Mommy, listen to the doctor. Tonight, me, Josh, Venus, and Dori will visit you in the hospital."
At his words, Carla sobbed silently. She lowered her gaze and scurried out lest Randy sensed her sorrow.
"Daddy!" Randy called out. "Won't you go with her?"
Zayn snapped back to reality and dashed after Carla.
At the door, Randy reminded him, "Daddy, take good care of Mommy."
Zayn nodded with his back to the little boy. His eyes turned red without warning.
The boy trusted him enough to hand his mother to him, but he was going to break his promise.
Jombo glanced at Thompson, who immediately caught up with them with his men.
Soon, Zayn led Carla out of the back door to avoid running into the guests and her kids.
"Miss!" Upon spotting Carla, Mrs. Borah hurried over. "What happened?"
Half an hour earlier, Jombo's men had brought her here.
Puzzled, she asked them what was going on, but their reply was, "Just wait here. Ms. Wigston will be here soon."
Mrs. Borah's phone had been confiscated, so she could only wait here anxiously. She only relaxed at the sight of Carla.
