"You should come home at once." Layon shuddered when he recalled what happened in the past. "The Lierger family loves to fight. Daemon himself kills without batting an eyelid. Naturally, his sister is also equally vicious. From the way Carla looked at you, she would likely tear you apart if she had the chance. They even have an eagle as a pet. If you stay, you will lose your life…"
"Stop wasting time." Selena was extremely frustrated. "Instead of asking me to leave, you should help me think of how I should get rid of Carla."
"Stop kidding yourself. Since when am I even capable of doing that? She said so herself today that even I wouldn't be spared if I caused any trouble." Layon put on a helpless look. "Selena, leave now so we can fight another day. Survival is paramount now-"
"Enough." Exasperated by her father's words, Selena was about to end the call when something struck her. She signed, "How is Mr. Giblo now?"
"After I left the Giblo residence, I went to see him at the hospital. He is recovering well and wants to be discharged. However, Thompson didn't allow it and wants him to be monitored for a while longer. Also, I didn't dare tell him about what happened at the Giblo residence."
"No, you should tell him." Selena signed at once, "Not only that, you should let him know that Carla has come back to exact revenge. In order to take the children away, she caused Venus to be poisoned. At the crucial moment, it was I who saved Venus. Hence, I'm now staying back at the Giblo residence to protect her…"
"I understand." Layon realized what her plan was. "I'll head to the hospital right away."
"As of now, my happiness and the future of the Benday family are in your hands." Selena signed solemnly. "Ideally, we should get Mr. Giblo back home to manage the situation. That way, Carla
would have no choice but to leave."
"Understood!" Layon nodded repeatedly. "I'll get it done at once. So, don't you worry."
After ending the call, Selena let out an insidious smile. It was as if victory was within her grasp.
Meanwhile, Carla remained in the room with Venus until she fell asleep.
Freda crept inside and asked softly, "I have packed your necessities and put them in the guest room they have prepared for you. You should get something to eat first. I'll watch Ms. Venus for you."
"All right." Carla pulled out her arm carefully before stretching it alongside her neck. She had been lying on her side beside Venus, causing both her arm and shoulder to go numb.
"It must be tough." Freda helped her massage a little. "Go and grab a bite as you haven't had anything the entire day. After all, Ms. Venus's condition has stabilized. With me here, Selena wouldn't dare to make a move."
"Exactly." At that moment, Rogan came up with a bowl of soup. "Ms. Lierger, drink this before your blood sugar dips."
"Thank you." After taking a sip, Carla asked, "Have you contacted Bugara? How is his search coming along?"
"I did." Rogan replied softly, "He said that after what happened to you two years ago, Dr. Feroma had a bad impression of Mr. Giblo. Hence, he and his family moved away and cut off all contact. Recently, Mr. Giblo went to see them but they refused to let him in.
"When Bugara went to look for them this time, he realized that they had moved, and we have no idea where to. However, he mentioned that Diane might know where Dr. Feroma is…"
"Make the arrangements. I want to see Diane, " Carla ordered at once.
"Yes." Rogan nodded.
After putting on her jacket, Carla prepared to leave. The moment she opened the door, he saw Zayn who was about to knock.
Exchanging glances, Carla's gaze was icy cold while Zayn's was filled with conflicted emotions. "Let's talk."
"All right." Carla stared at him indifferently. "I was just about to look for you."
Zayn then ushered her out.
