My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 223

Kerry's breathing stopped sharply and his eyes widened. He watched the child struggle and plop in the water. After a few seconds, the hands grabbed the child by one of his legs and pulled him out of the water, patting him on the back a few times. The child spat out a few mouthfuls of water and cried out.

The sound of the crying entered Kerry’s ears through the phone and tore at his heart. His eyes turned completely red and he gripped the phone tightly. He wanted to chop the owner of those hands into pieces.

Then a man's voice came out, "Mrs. Mu, this is just a little punishment for you. You still have a month, but my patience is limited."

"Bastard! Bastard!" Kerry was furious and almost slammed the phone in her hand.

Venus' tears flowed freely and her heart ached.

"Give him the treasure map, please. I don't know how this pervert will torture my child," Venus begged him in tears.

Kerry was furious. His temples were throbbing. He wanted to shout and to vent his anger, but now he needed to calm down. He rushed into the restroom and washed his face with cold water.

The pain he felt was no less than Venus's when he saw his child in the water begging for his life

Letting out a heavy breath, Kerry walked out of the room, took out a tissue and wiped Venus’s tears. Then he hugged her and said quietly, “ I'll give the treasure map to him."

Venus was startled and looked at Kerry, whose eyes were also red.

He nodded and said firmly, "I mean it. I'll give it to him. But I'll ask him to let you deliver the treasure map to him personally. You will give it to him after you see the child."

"When?"

Kerry said, "Half a month later. If you can't bring the baby back, I have at least half a month to figure out how to find the man with silver mask. As long as I know where he lives, I will save the child even if it costs me my life."

Even if his secret was exposed, he didn't care in the slightest.

After Venus heard his words, tears fell again and she choked out, "Kerry, thank you."

Kerry touched her head, "Why did you thank me? He's my child, too."

Venus leaned into his arms and grew calm.

……..

The temperature was still high in September.

Tianye Mu brought Xiran Xiao to the cemetery. He was stunned when he saw the two bunches of dried flowers and partially dried offerings in front of his parents' tombstones.

"It looks like someone has come to visit them," Xiran said.

Tianye bent his knees and squatted down to examine the two bouquets of flowers, surprised.

"What's wrong with them?" Xiran squatted down and asked, confused.

"Look at these two bouquets of flowers, can you tell who has been here?" she asked, then continued, "This one is carnations, and this one seems to be daisies."

“Are they really daisies?" Tiaye asked.

Xiran pinched off a dried flower and sniffed it and said, "They are daisies. Chrysanthemum petals are curled and long, but daisy petals are straight and short."

"Daisies?" Tianye was talking to himself, and the expression on his face was a bit odd.

Xiran turned her head to look at him and asked, puzzled, "What's the story of the daisies?"

Tianye's eyes fell on a photo of his mother, "Daisies were my mother's favorite flower. When she was alive, she planted many of these flowers in the garden."

“But who put daisies on my parents' graves?” Tianye was puzzled.

"Maybe your relatives used daisies to visit your parents." said Xiran.

Tianye shook his head, "No. When my parents were still alive, they would still come to my family and ask my parents to help them, but after my parents passed away, they started to hate my sister and me. They won't come to visit my parents."

Xiran listened to him talk about his family matters, but she could not interrupt and silently stayed by his side.

His mother in the photo was so beautiful, and But she didn't look as serious as Tiany described. Rather, she looked like a lady from high society, with a kind of gentleness and elegance.

"It happened to be the anniversary of my parents’ death some time ago. Could it be that Venus came to visit them?" Tianye said.

Besides Venus, he couldn't think of anyone else who could visit his parents.
