Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 95

In just three days, Ethan and Winfield were able to produce pieces of evidence to incriminate Sawyer and Steven in the attempted kidnapping of Samantha.

Ethan's hacker, Aiden, was also able to find communications between the father and son, confirming their involvement in the scheme. While Aiden was not able to find information about the cure, they at least found enough to take the father and son into custody.

With Winfield's influence, they were put into a military prison for interrogation and will remain there until the general is satisfied with the answers they would give.

It was there where Steven revealed to Ethan the ultimate cure.

Sitting in front of a table, Steven was smirking despite being locked up. He had a bruise or two on his face, but he remained confident.

In front of Ethan, he announced, "You will never find out what the cure is, Ethan. So all this?" Steven shrugged, looking around at the military guards. "All this is useless."

He pointed at Ethan and declared, "Your wife will need the cure very soon and you'll beg me for it!"

"Tell me the cure, and I might actually let you live. You can rot in prison!" Warned Ethan with his eyes tightening.

An audible laugh escaped Steven's lips. He roared his heart out, bold of his plans. When he was done mocking Ethan he said, "These are my conditions."

He leaned closer to the table and told, "I want you to drop all the charges. My father and I will walk free out of here. Give me the shares my family deserves as the rightful controller of the Wright Diamond Corporation... and lastly, I want to sleep with your wife - "

"Fuck you!" Ethan punched Steven outright.

Winfield, who was observing from the other room through a one-way mirror, also stormed in and gave Steven a good punching.

"How dare you?! Do you think this is a game?! Even if you get what you want, the law will come running after you!" Winfield screamed while punching with all his might. "You have no respect for my daughter! Men like you need to be behind bars!"

Despite the injury on Steven's face and the blood gushing out, he still managed to shriek. He repeatedly gasped for air as he said, "It's your call. Either your daughter dies or she lives."

"Only I know the cure... For I." Another series of laughter came out of Steven before he revealed, "I am the fucking cure!"

Despite the repeated interrogation between Steven and Sawyer, the father and son gave no clue to the cure that they hold in their hands.

Ethan was left with no choice but to send Connor to Cambodia with Dr. Perry, fearing that Samantha might really develop the disease, given the confidence Steven expressed.

For now, they could only hope and pray that Samantha remained healthy.

A week passed.

"Sam, are you okay?" Diana asked, seeing Samantha looking very tired, resting on the sofa of their living room.

"Um. Yes, aunt. I'm. I'm just really tired," answered Samantha before leaning on the throw pillows.

"You are tired? Have you been to the hospital for your check-up lately?" Diana probed. "Because you just came from your off and extended it another day... You - you should have gotten enough rest."

Samantha yawned and said, "I don't know, aunt. I just feel so sleepy. I went to the hospital last week. The doctor said a weekly check should be fine."

Just as she was about to close her eyes, the children arrived from school with Edgar and her father.

Since Ethan sent Connor to Cambodia, Winfield had volunteered to fetch the kids from school, together with one military guard.

That day, however, Sarah also came, wanting to visit Samantha.

"Mommy! You are here!" Kenzie excitedly ran to her mother and gave her a hug.

"Hi Mommy," Kyle asked, also hugging her on the side of her waist.

Samantha had weakly sat up. She caressed the cheeks of her children and said, "I miss you so much, guys."
