..."Two years ago, the Carter Group fell apart. New companies squeezed them out, and now they're smaller than minor firms. These properties were sold off," Hannah explained.Kimberly's eyes widened in shock.Since leaving the hospital, she hadn't contacted Daniel and had focused on her life abroad. Thus, she was unaware of the Carter family's collapse.Grace suddenly said, "Dad, I feel sick. I might throw up."Gary felt her forehead. It was burning, and he was alarmed. "Maybe it's the weather. She has caught a cold."Kimberly jumped up, rushing to take Grace to the hospital.The doctor prescribed fever medicine, and Grace fell asleep in Kimberly's arms, looking heart-meltingly tender.Just then, a figure came out of the psychiatry room. It was none other than Daniel.Six years apart, he was no longer sharp. His face was weary, and his hair was streaked with white.Seeing her, he paused and forced a smile. "It's been a while.""Indeed," she replied.Meeting again like this

...The police arrived, handcuffing Siena.Her face was ashen, but she didn't resist.Kimberly grabbed Daniel's hand, anxious. "Hang on. The ambulance is coming."Daniel, with all his strength, rasped, "I'm sorry. I owed you and had to repay it."Ten minutes later, he was rushed to the ER. Hours of surgery finally stabilized his condition.Kimberly delayed her return to Asteron, staying to care for him as she once did.He opened his eyes, and the first person he saw was her. She gave him water and checked on him.He stared at her silently, his tears rolling onto the white pillow. Choking, he said, "It's been so long since we've been together calmly like this."Kimberly said nothing, rising to call the doctor.He called after her, "Thank you. I won't bother you anymore."His voice was hoarse, tinged with sadness and regret. Kimberly paused, but she didn't turn back.After informing the doctor, she left the hospital.Now that Daniel had woken up, she felt no need to stay the

...Daniel was stunned by the news.Henry was his everything now. Without Henry, he might not want to live, and now Henry was gone.Kimberly overheard the call. She said, "Don't panic. Ask if anyone around you picked him up."Daniel immediately asked around but found no leads.Then a message arrived: [Your kid is with me. Want him alive? No police. Bring five million dollars in cash.]It included the address of an abandoned factory.Daniel trembled. "Henry has been kidnapped."Kimberly was surprised but stayed calm. "Do as they say. I'll go with you."At the end of the day, Henry was still her son. Even though they had cut ties, she couldn't let him die like that.They got the cash ready and headed to the factory.It was remote. Even if they called the police, it would take them at least half an hour to arrive.Kimberly scanned the area, wondering if this was a scheme of revenge or pure greed.The question was figured out when she saw Siena inside.Standing beside Henry,

...After the business meeting, Kimberly stepped out to see a flashy Maybach.The one leaning against the car body was none other than Daniel.Kimberly blinked, surprised by his appearance. She hadn't told anyone about this deal, yet he found her there.Spotting her, he hurried over. "Kimberly, can we talk?"Kimberly hesitated for a moment before getting into his car. There were things she needed to make clear with him.While driving, he glanced sideways at her. "I hear that you founded a novel company."She nodded but remained silent.Undeterred, he continued, "How did I never notice your interest in writing before?"Kimberly gave a wry smile. "Well, it's because you never cared to know me."Daniel paused, ready to explain, but they arrived at their destination.In the coffee shop, they ordered drinks.Kimberly took a sip, and Daniel began, "The past year has been tough for both Henry and me."She felt nothing about it. "Oh? Well, I'm doing way better than before."Danie
Happiness Never Knocks Chapter 17
...Kimberly looked at Henry, now taller, and shook her head.She'd raised him with endless patience and love, but he'd repeatedly pierced her with harsh words. She had watched him grow from a tiny baby to walking and then to kindergarten, only for him to give her gifts to someone else.He viewed Siena through rose-tinted glasses while judging her with malice. Her love for Henry was real, but so was her disappointment.In a child's world, a simple apology might fix everything, but for adults, apologies solved nothing.She looked at Henry seriously. "Henry, an apology is the least useful fix. And stop calling me Mom. Since the contract ended a year ago, we're no longer mother and son."Henry didn't fully understand, but he grasped one thing. Kimberly didn't want him anymore.Standing helplessly by the road, he started wailing.Daniel wept too. After a while, he managed, "Kimberly, I'm sorry. I didn't know Siena was like that. I shouldn't have hurt you repeatedly because of her.

...Kimberly stiffened as the very thing she dreaded happened.Henry clung to her leg, refusing to let go despite her efforts to pry him away. His attitude was a stark contrast to before when he always scorned her presence.In the end, she managed to push him away. Her expression was cold and distant.Henry was confused by her indifference. She used to pamper him so much.She had been absent from his life for a whole year now. When she was finally back, he received nothing but her rejection.Tears welled up in Daniel's eyes. He croaked, "Kimberly, where have you been all this time? I searched everywhere but couldn't find you. Henry and I miss you so much. Come home with us."His tone was earnest, but Kimberly was untouched."Daniel, come on. You know we can't go back," she said.Unconvinced, he reached for her hand, but she stepped back. "Things ended a year ago. Please respect that."Her icy tone felt foreign to him. The old Kimberly was always gentle and had never spoken ha
