Why couldn't she be a little more selfish?

If she could be a little more self-centered and prioritize herself more, Julien would feel less guilty...

However, she was so kind to him and cherished him so lovingly. She urged, "Julien, don't remain silent. Tell me what happened, so I won't worry. I want to help you!"

"I'm perfectly fine." Julien held her hand firmly. "Vanessa, do you feel any discomfort? Tell me."

Any discomfort?

"No..." Vanessa was about to deny it, but suddenly she recalled that she had been kidnapped by Fiona, and... She quickly pulled back her hand. Seeing that the watch was still on her wrist, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"This isn't just a regular watch, it's a recording device," she explained as she pressed the button. "I've always thought that the man I slept with back then was someone else, and I' ve been looking high and low for him, to bring him into custody. Hence, I always wear this recording watch with me."

That fateful night, Julien had vanished without saying goodbye to her. As a result, Vanessa suffered a lot of hardships, physically and mentally for the past few years. However, she persevered and even raised Lawrie well by herself.

Recalling the past, Julien felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest. "Vanessa, you silly girl. Why can't you put yourself first for once?

"Well, I did that to put myself first!" Vanessa was overjoyed at the thought that the recording watch had finally come into use. She forgot her pain momentarily and beamed with joy. "I prepared this watch to collect evidence in an emergency. Although that man never existed, this time, my recording will ensure Fiona can't escape!"

Vanessa pressed a small button and voices rang from the device. It was the recording of her conversation with Fiona when she was kidnapped. "Julien, did you hear that? Fiona admitted that she harmed my mother and also confessed that she drugged me. She even kidnapped me this time! I'm sure she will be given a heavy sentence for her heinous crimes, and perhaps, even be sentenced to lifetime imprisonment!"

"Enough!" Julien cradled her in his arms. "Enough!" Having Vanessa to care for in this life already greatly satisfied Julien. As long as she was by his side, he didn't mind sacrificing everything else.

The wounds on Vanessa's body had not healed completely. Upon their tight embrace, his skin grazed against hers and she grimaced in pain. However, she did not cry out in pain because she knew that Julien was still very worried.

He must have spent days in torment while she was kidnapped. "Julien, I'm sorry! I'll protect myself in the future. I promise not to allow anyone to hurt me again, and I won't make you worry anymore!"

This silly girl. She didn't accuse him of not protecting her. Instead, she blamed herself for not protecting herself and making him worry. How could she be so foolish?

Unable to hold it in any longer, Julien lowered his head and searched for her slightly parched lips. His icy-cold lips gently pressed against hers...

He kissed her gently, without any lust nor desire, but Vanessa still felt as if he wanted to suck her soul away.

After a long kiss, Julien finally broke the kiss and pulled away. He held Vanessa's face gently. Seeing that the swelling on her face had not subsided, he kissed her cheek and said, "Why did I meet you in this life?"

"You wish you never had met me?" Vanessa's heart skipped a beat as she thought that Julien had regretted meeting her since she always made him worry. Her mind was still insecure after barely escaping from the clutches of death...

"No, I'm just saying why fate brought us together, yet I didn't treasure you and let you and our child suffer so much." Julien's voice was hoarse. There was a hint of deep remorse in it.

"Julien, I'm fine now. Don't be like this." Vanessa grabbed his hand and placed her palm against his. "From now onwards, hold my hand tightly and never let go."

"I won’t. Please don't let go of me either." He held her hand firmly. He would never let go ever again...

"By the way, please hand over the recording evidence to the police, so that they can arrest Fiona at once. We can't let her cause havoc anymore," Vanessa said firmly and handed the watch over to Julien. Feeling anxious about Fiona, she added, "Do it quick. Don't let Fiona escape."

"Sure." Even without the recording, Julien had a way to bring Fiona to justice, so that she would suffer forever in prison. There would be no means for her to escape.

With Fiona's matter resolved, Vanessa felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She sighed in relief and thought of her son. "By the way, where is Lawrie?"

Julien replied, "He is at home."

"Oh no. Lawrie has been traumatized in the past and he is more sensitive than other children. If I am not by his side, he would think I abandoned him. Please ask someone to send him over."

Vanessa scratched her head anxiously at the thought of her child. "No, that would take too long. I'll call him to let him know that I didn't abandon him, and then arrange for some to send him over. No, no, this doesn't work either. I'd better leave the hospital. Lawrie spent most of his childhood in the hospital and he detests it very much. I promised him not to let him enter the hospital again."

"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution." Vanessa was so flustered that Julien immediately took out his phone and dialed his home number. Shortly, someone answered the phone and said, "Young Master Julien."

Julien responded, "Put Lawrie on the phone quickly."

The maid was in a quandary. "Erm..."

Julien noticed a hint of hesitation in her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Vanessa understood her predicament at once and butted in, "Maria, it's Vanessa. If Lawrie secludes himself in a corner, please place the phone by his side and let me speak to him."

Lawrie was her precious child, and Vanessa knew him very well. This happened in the past. Whenever she left him for work, Lawrie would hide in a corner, paying no heed to anyone else.

Maria said, "Sure, I'll do it right away."

"Was he always like this when you left him for work and arranged for others to take care of him?" Julien's heart throbbed with pain and guilt. Not only did he fail to take care of Vanessa, but he also did not fulfil his duty as a father!

"Well, yes, but everything is better now." Let bygones be bygones... Vanessa didn't want to mention the past anymore. Either way, her dear Lawrie would be treasured and loved by herself, his father, and the other family members in the future. He would definitely overcome his childhood trauma.
