"We cto see Kathryn. How is she? We were worried about her all night. We just found out you sent her to the hospital, so we hurried over." Holden lied.

Holden wondered if he had guessed wrong or if Clarissa was setting a trap for her niece.
Pedro said calmly, "Miss is awake and not seriously ill. Mr. Janzen, you look more injured than Miss." Holden smiled awkwardly. "I had a fight with my wife. Seeing Kathryn like that, I was worried. After all, I am her biological father. Seeing my daughter lying motionless, I got angry and fought with my wife. I am no match for her." Feeling embarrassed, Holden raised the insulated lunch box in his hand. "It's early, and you probably haven't had breakfast yet. I made dumplings for Kathryn and brought them here. She likes dumplings stuffed with chives." Kathryn enjoyed the fragrance of leeks and liked dumplings filled with leeks, pork, and corn.
Holden's sons also brought items: shad fruits, others had nutritional supplements, and more insulated lunch boxes. They even prepared breakfast for Pedro.
Pedro gestured for Holden and his sons to place their items on the coffee table. "Miss is in the bathroom. Please sit down. Would you like swater?" Pedro entertained his guests like a host, making Holden and his sons uncomfortable, but they dared not challenge him.
"Thank you, but we are not thirsty. We just cto see Kathryn. If she's fine, we can return to work without worries," Marco said lightly.

Marco declined the water, and Pedro did not insist. With nothing else to say, they waited in awkward silence for Kathryn to finish in the bathroom. When Kathryn emerged, Holden stood up, looking concerned. "Kathryn."
"Dad, why are you here?" Kathryn asked, having overheard their conversation in the bathroom. She knew they cto check if she was still alive. She pretended nothing had happened, walked over, and sat on the single sofa. Pedro stood beside her, acting as her guardian angel.
Holden, filled with self-blame, said, "We cto see you. How are you? We were scared seeing you m motionless last night. Look at me, the NO wounds on my face and arms are from your mom beating me. I thought she had hurt you and wanted to confront her, but I was useless. I couldn't vent your anger and got beaten instead."
