After the incident where Leo was falsely accused by Lester, Kayden was the only one from the Bishop family welcomed by Celeste and her son.The first time he went to the York residence, he didn't give advance notice. He rode a shared bicycle for ten kilometers in the heat of summer. He was seen sweating profusely and standing under the sun with a smile for Celeste.Celeste remembered the first time she was falsely accused by Leah, and Kayden had stood up for her. It softened her heart and made her nose tingle with emotion."Kayden, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could have picked you up."She hurried out to bring him inside, wiping his sweat while asking the servants to prepare some cool drinks."I missed you and Leo." Kayden smiled as he drank the watermelon juice a servant had brought. He, too, started addressing Celeste differently.He had grown up and was no longer the little toddler he used to be. Nourished well by the Bishop family, the ten-year-old was nearly as

Celeste didn't dare delay. The journey from her office to the hospital usually took over half an hour. However, it took her less than twenty minutes this time."Hello, you must be one of the parents. Please, come with me." A person arranged by the kindergarten was waiting at the entrance, and Celeste knew from this setup that the situation was serious."What happened?""The children in the junior class have all suffered from nitrate poisoning today. We suspect someone in the kitchen staff tampered with the food. The police have been notified."The hospital had reserved a reception room for the kindergarten, and the staff member led Celeste upstairs.In the reception room, there were already about a dozen parents with worried expressions."Ms. York, Leo's symptoms are the mildest. He only suffers some dizziness and vomiting. The doctor has administered him an antidote. There's no need for worry." Leo's teacher hurriedly informed Celeste upon seeing her."Show me the lunch menu."

At that moment, Damon felt as though an earthquake had struck within his heart.His beloved son changed his way of addressing him during an unlikely event."What did you call me, Leo?""It's fine if you didn't hear it." Leo felt somewhat awkward. He looked away with a pout and was unwilling to make eye contact."My dear boy. It's my fault for not taking good care of you these past few years." Damon said as he moved closer, lifted Leo into his arms, and their foreheads touched."From now on, I will make sure to take good care of you." And the boy's mother as well.He left the last sentence unsaid.The seriousness of Leo's poisoning brought many visitors to the hospital room in less than a day. Jane came first, followed by Winston and Megan, and then Jasper and Kayden.Serena arrived slightly later. By then, everyone had left, and Leo had just fallen asleep.Damon sat by the bed. He turned off the air conditioning to avoid the harsh breeze and began fanning Leo gently. Meanwhile

Vera's eyes were ringed with blue, and her face darkened. There was white foam frothed from her mouth. This clearly indicated she had been poisoned for a while."Who did this to you?" Ruben had seen many tragedies, but the scene before him shocked him deeply."No one, it was me. I poisoned them with sodium nitrite. These two have been draining me my whole life. To think that in the end, they planned to betray me for 500,000 dollars. Betrayers... Now, nobody gets to live!" Vera held a despairing look, and her tone was filled with sorrow. It startled Ruben.As Vera's condition worsened, she began to gasp for air and was barely breathing in."Take her away!" Ruben commanded with a dark expression.As soon as Vera was admitted to the hospital, Nicholas arranged for her to be taken to the ICU for emergency treatment.Celeste and Damon left Leo in Serena's care and met with Ruben in an office at Davidson Hospital to discuss the situation.Ruben detailed everything to the two."Ther

Vera died. The worst had happened.Damon and Celeste waited outside the ICU while initially holding onto a sliver of hope. However, now their expressions turned serious."Vera took a lethal dose of sodium nitrite. This is unexpected," Nicholas said."Are your people reliable?" Damon asked.Nicholas responded after a moment. "Of course. Do we need to keep this strictly confidential?"Damon nodded slightly, then contacted Liam straight away."Spread the word that Vera has been detained in the detention center at Southlake and that the parents of the poisoned children will surely pursue this matter. Especially Celeste and the Belasco family."He intended to mention the Bishop family specifically, as Leo was the child of the Bishop family. However, only a few were aware of this. He had to consider Celeste's feelings.Being a longtime acquaintance and a clever one at that, Celeste immediately understood Damon's thoughts."I can pretend to be Vera'."Since the goal was to use Vera
