Chapter 267
Kenneth was surprised. They had just met her parents. Cassandra dreamed about them the day before. If there hadn’t been so much work to do, she might have been absent–minded all day long.
In her dream, she was even abandoned when she was still a baby.
Kenneth said, “It’s just a dream. Don’t take it seriously. Cassie, you’re the best. They were unlucky to lose you.”
Kenneth gently rubbed her head, held her in his arms, and comforted her.
Cassandra was supposed to be an aristocrat but God fooled her.
Cassandra smiled gently, “I guess only you and Jeremiah think I’m the best.”
She thought, ‘And Hugo and people of Modern Beacon Synergy!
Kenneth praised Jeremiah, which was rare. “Great minds think alike.”
He knew how important Jeremiah was to Cassandra. Fortunately, Jeremiah only wanted to be her friend. So Kenneth didn’t treat him like a rival.
Suddenly, Kenneth received a message on WhatsApp.
Vincent: [My mother is fine. Thanks for your concern.]
It was a message from Vincent. It seemed that the Queen had been out of danger.
He simply replied: [Received.]
Although their private phones were taken away, they logged into their WhatsApp accounts using other devices just for the convenience of the information security department.
Cassandra asked curiously, “Who is it?”
Kenneth explained, “Vincent, the Queen suddenly fainted when we were negotiating. She is

out of danger now.”
There was no need to keep this message from Cassandra.
Cassandra nodded. “Good.”
The night was a long one. Kenneth couldn’t bear to let Cassandra suffer so he asked her to rest her head on his shoulder.
In the darkness, they were silently supporting each other.
In the Queen’s Palace.
Leanna woke up at midnight. Darren hurriedly helped her sit up and asked with concern, “How are you feeling? Do you feel pain? I’ll send for the doctor.”
Leanna’s face was very pale, her lips too. Her eyes were dull. She said, “I’m fine. Where is the chief of the Falcon Special Operations Force? I didn’t faint because of them.”
Darren sent someone to find the doctor. Hearing Leanna’s explanation, he felt helpless. “I knew. I didn’t blame them for it. They have left. We’ll discuss it after you get better. Or, you
can leave the rest to me.”
He was surprised that his wife didn’t believe him.
But Leanna had a reason. Some time ago, when Kamila attacked them, Leanna was discussing something with several generals. She was so exhausted that she fainted.
Without hesitation, Darren beat those generals up. If they hadn’t needed the generals to lead the army, he would have locked them up.
Afterward, Darren didn’t think that he had done anything wrong. So Leanna had to apologize to the generals herself.
This time, she suddenly fainted again. She was not worried about her health but whether her husband had beaten up someone again.

If he really had done it, it was not a problem that could be solved by an apology. Kenneth was representing Clusia. They couldn’t even touch a random Clusian citizen in Zosteylor.
Leanna said, “After they perfect the Evacuation Operation, we will have a negotiation again. Let Theodore handle it. He is a good choice.”
After that, the doctor came in to examine the Queen.
The doctor said, “You already woke up so there is nothing serious. Keep happy and don’t get too excited.”
After the doctor went out, Darren couldn’t help but warn Leanna. “Did you hear the doctor? He said you couldn’t get too excited. What did they say during the negotiation with the Falcon Special Operations Force today that agitated you?”
Leanna remembered Kenneth’s upset look. Darren felt a heartache. He said, “What happened? Did someone from the Falcon Special Operations Force say something that upset you?”
Leanna said, “No, Mr. Zelinski said that I looked like one of his friends. I thought it could be our daughter. But she’s not the same age as our daughter.”
Darren was stunned. He never thought that it could be her daughter.
After leaving their daughter in a hurry and returning to Leanna’s home country, Leanna was sick. Harper was also on the brink of death.
Darren didn’t have time to think about his daughter at all. Leanna and Harper were both suffering after all. Besides, he had sent a message to his father.
However, after Leanna and Harper were out of danger, he investigated the Yates family but didn’t find a baby, let alone his daughter.
His daughter disappeared. After Leanna knew this, she fainted. With the spreading of toxicity, she remained unconscious for the next two years.
Zosteylor was Leanna’s country had it was trapped by all kinds of problems. He had to take charge of it for her.
He never found anything about his daughter. He had checked all the surveillance videos. and babies that were born around that period of time. But he failed to find his child.
They were in Zosteylor. If they wanted to do anything in Clusia, they had to go through a lot of procedures. And back then, they didn’t dare to let anyone else know that they had been looking for their daughter..
After the deaths of Leanna’s parents, the throne belonged to Leanna. But Kamila disagreed with it. She repeatedly framed Leanna so that Leanna was away from the throne for a long time.
Kamila took advantage of Leanna’s pregnancy and put poison in her food. To protect their children, Darren and Leanna escaped with Leanna’s parents‘ token. But when Leanna gave birth to the babies, they received a fake token from Kamila. Kamila was ready to be enthroned.
One of their babies was healthy and the other was sick. The healthy one was their daughter. Their son was born with the poison. To stop Kamila’s evil deeds, he had to leave with his wife and the poisoned baby.
But he didn’t expect that it would cause the tragedy of his daughter.
They had been haunted by what they had done ever since.
Darren gently stroked Leanna’s cheeks. “Don’t think too much. We will find our daughter. Maybe Dr. Quirke can cure you. I have started to find his whereabouts. After the civil strife is solved and you and Harper are cured, we will go to Clusia and we will do everything to find our girl, okay?”
They had tried to find her. They had sent people to Clusia and they had found a girl who looked like Leanna. But when they were about to do a DNA test, Kamila’s men killed the girl.
No matter how secret they thought their action was, Kamila would find it out and kill every girl they found that might be their daughter.
So they had to give up. Too many girls had died because of Kamila.
There was no joy in Leanna’s eyes. For so many years, she had seen a lot of doctors. She
thought the miracle doctor that Darren just mentioned would only give her some medicines to make her live a bit longer and suffer a bit longer.
But she thought it was not a bad idea. If she could find her daughter, she would have no
regrets.
Leanna said, “Okay.”
Early the next morning, Cassandra picked up her phone and saw a message from Hugo.
[Ms. Yates, someone placed an order on the dark web to look for Dr. Quirke.]
