Chapter 467
"We need to bring her back no matter what, Henry," Chloe said. "I’ve talked with Vernon over the phone, and he said he’ll start dispatching all of his subordinates to find Kate and bring her back. We need your consent since you are Kate’s boyfriend and Theo’s father."
...
Henry stared at Chloe, who was fired up. She looked really determined to find Kate even though Henry hadn’t asked her and Vernon to do so.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t what he wanted.
"You don’t need to do that. She left by her own accord. She won’t be happy if we drag her back," Henry said.
"H—How could you say that, Henry? Kate is not in the right mind because of her baby!" Chloe insisted. "I have two children, and I know what she is experiencing. It’s a mix of trauma and overprotectiveness. We need to bring her back and snap her out of it!"
"... she has that trauma because of me," Henry blamed himself. "If only I’m strong enough, I would’ve cleaned them all and given Kate the security she wanted."
"Henry, you’re too harsh on yourself. This is not your fault, not after what you’ve done to protect Kate," Chloe sighed. "Listen, Kate simply needs time to calm down. She will return if we persuade her enough."
"And let her get targeted again?" Henry retorted. "I heard from Dahlia that Vernon got hurt as well. Do you not see Kate’s perspective here? She is mentally burdened because Sarah can attack us like this with no repercussions. She thinks that she brings misfortune to our family. That’s why she removed herself."
