Chapter 720
Leda’s hand darted out in a fury, slapping Daniel across the face several times.
Daniel’s tears welled up from the sting of her blows, and he pushed her away, only to be yanked back and brutally
thrown onto the coffee table.
“Daniel!” Nova’s scream rang through the room, her little face turning pale with fright
Only then did Leda realize she had gone too far. Releasing her grip, she watched as Nova stumbled towards Daniel,
who was then lying on the floor.
Daniel had hit his head on the corner of the table, and blood was pouring out of the wound. Nova, her hands
shaking, pressed a hand to his forehead, trying to stem the flow. Tears streamed down her face. “Granny, call an
ambulance!”
The housemaid, who rushed in upon hearing the commotion, saw the scene and immediately reached for her
phone to dial 911.

Leda stopped her. “Don’t call an ambulance. Throw this child out!”
She thought, “If Isaac’s kid dies, there will be no loss for her.”
The housemaid knew about the feud between Leda and Isaac, but what did the child have to do with it? She
hesitated.
“Ma’am, this isn’t right…”
“If you don’t want to throw him out, then you can get out!”
Fearing for her job, the housemaid complied, picking up Daniel.
“Granny, save Daniel…”
Nova tried to follow, her steps shaky and unsteady, but Leda grabbed her. “Nova, if you dare to breathe a word
about this, I’ll lock you in the basement and never let you out!”
Nova shivered, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Granny, don’t lock me in the basement, please. I am scared.”
Leda was satisfied. “Good girl, listen to me. Or the basement will be your new home
Nova didn’t dare to speak anymore.
The housemaid left Daniel on the sidewalk. Her heart felt heavy with guilt.
Just as she was about to secretly dial 911, she spotted a black car speeding towards them. She recognized it as
Isaac’s car and instinctively hid.
The car came to a halt before its door opened.
Brittany climbed out in a panicked flurry. Her legs went weak at the sight of her blood-soaked son. She quickly
moved towards him, lifting him into her arms, her voice trembling. “Daniel?”
Daniel was unconscious.
He had lost a lot of blood, and his usually rosy cheeks were pale. He could not respond to her.
Brittany’s heart ached as she held Daniel. Her tears flowed freely.
Isaac, upon seeing his son covered in blood, wasted no time in racing to the hospital.
Throughout the journey, Brittany cradled Daniel, her tears falling freely. She wiped the blood from his face,

Daniel flinched in pain.
It was then that Brittany noticed the marks on his face. There were handprints, and they were blue and purple. It
was a clear sign of violence.
Brittany bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, as she held Daniel tighter, not daring to cry out loud.
Upon reaching the hospital, Daniel was whisked away by the doctors.
Brittany leaned against the wall. Her legs were very weak.
Her eyes were filled with confusion and terror.
Isaac, his heart aching, moved towards her, intending to wipe her tears away, but Brittany slapped his hand away.
“Isaac, can your family’s problems stop involving my son!”
That was the second time she had said something like that.
Isaac was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Leda to lay a hand on Daniel, let alone with such brutality. “I will get
justice for him.”
Brittany’s eyes were red-rimmed. She glared at Isaac, wishing she could erase him from her life.
“And how are you planning on doing that?” Brittany scoffed. “You think you can take on Marcel Salter? Or maybe
you plan on making whoever did this pay double for Daniel’s injuries?”
