Chapter 30
Calvin knew Veronica’s personality well–she was always cautious. There was definitely something fishy
about all of this.
However, before Calvin could demand answers from the Tate family, Reynard had already flown in personally from Shalton. He brought the kids with him, spun a few speeches, and even–handed Stewart a fat check. Then, that old bastard took the money and ran without hesitation.
Calvin didn’t dare tell Malcolm about any of this. Worried sick, he had been keeping watch at the hospital until now.
Reynard’s sharp eyes glinted with calculation. “Calvin, we’re all family here. The kids already admitted their mistakes, and they’re still Veronica’s flesh and blood. Maybe… we should let her decide what to do.”
Later, Heath arrived at the hospital room, accompanied by Joel. When he saw that Veronica was awake, his face lit up with joy. But then he watched as Veronica grabbed Calvin’s hand, her eyes full of confusion
and bewilderment.
“Calvin, who are these people?” she asked.
That single sentence struck the hospital room like a bolt from the blue.
Regina couldn’t take it anymore. “Veronica, what are you pretending for? You can ignore us, but Miriam
and Samuel are your children!”
“I have kids? Ma’am, what kind of joke is that?” Veronica acted as if she’d heard the most ridiculous thing
in the world.
She added, “I just heard you all saying that they watched me get hurt and didn’t even try to help. Are they really related to me? That’s so disgusting. I’d rather get my tubes tied than have them as my children.”
The hospital room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. Miriam and Samuel wanted to cry but didn’t re. They were sad that Veronica didn’t remember them, but they also secretly prayed in their hearts that e wouldn’t remember what happened yesterday.
Heath lost his temper, snapping, “Dr. Smith, what is going on?”
Joel stayed calm. “She hit the back of her head when she fell. Memory confusion is common with this kind of trauma. It’s a typical post–coma reaction. I recommend you all avoid stressing her further as it
could worsen the condition.”
Everyone gasped in shock, realizing she really had lost her memory.
Reynard stayed quiet for a long moment before speaking. “Alright, everyone out. Veronica needs rest.”
With his word, the room emptied quickly. Only Heath and Calvin stayed behind.

Heath stared intently at Veronica’s uninjured eye, trying to detect any clues. “It’s just us now. If you’re
upset, you can tell me.”
Veronica rolled her eyes, sniffed a little, and frowned. “Who are you supposed to be again?”
Heath’s lips twitched. “I’m your husband.”
“No way. Are my standards really that bad?” She turned to Calvin, clearly disturbed.
Calvin casually stuffed his hands into his pockets. “He’s lying. Don’t believe a word he says.”
Heath’s expression darkened. “Calvin, are you seriously playing along with her right now?”
“Mr. Tate, weren’t you just told by Dr. Smith not to provoke her?” Calvin shot back, raising his voice.
In the end, Heath bit his tongue and stormed out of the room.
Calvin poured a cup of warm water for Veronica. She took small sips, then muttered, “Calvin, don’t let Grandpa find out about this.”
“You remember something?” Calvin asked carefully.
Veronica tapped her temple and shook her head. “I remember everything. The Tate family is disgusting. Heath refuses to sign the divorce agreements, and I don’t want those kids anymore either.”
She could still feel that moment when they pulled her off the stool like she meant nothing. They didn’t even consider any consequences or the fact that she was their mother. It was attempted murder, plain
and simple.
obvious that Reynard had made this special trip specifically to protect them. She now understood hat it meant when they said “The apple did not fall far from the tree“. They were all rotten to the
nica gave a bitter smile. “Once I’ve been separated from Heath long enough to file for divorce, I’ll file the lawsuit. Help me keep this secret, okay, Calvin?”
Calvin’s heart ached as he looked at the girl who had once been so innocent, now pushed to this point. He mumbled, “Veronica, this is my fault too. Back then, if I didn’t-”
