Chapter 272
Kenneth suddenly hesitated. He didn’t know if he should tell Cassandra what he and Kayden had seen in the Queen’s Palace.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to put it.
Cassandra snorted coldly, “Well, I can treat her. But I will decide whether she ends up alive or dead.”
The indifference in her eyes was a bit terrifying and her deep eyes became dull.
Kenneth said, “I’ll go with you. I have something to tell you.”
Kenneth felt sad for Cassandra. He decided to tell her everything that he knew and leave the final decision to her. What he had to do was give her support unconditionally.
Cassandra looked up at Kenneth, curious about what he was going to say.
Kenneth said calmly, “Let’s go and eat. Hugo will be fine.”
He thought there was no hurry. Jeremiah couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How do you know that Hugo will be fine?”
Kenneth said, “Don’t worry.
“Let’s have something first. Then we’ll take my private jet. It is going through a check–up now. Don’t worry.”
Jeremiah drove the car toward a restaurant. Kenneth was sitting in the back seat with Cassandra. He took out his phone and sent a message to Vincent.
[If Darren wants to save the Queen, he’d better take care of Hugo. He has broken Dr. Quirke’s rules. Think about how to persuade Dr. Quirke to save her.]
Vincent was confused when he received the news.
But Kenneth was not the kind of person who liked to joke. Since he had already sent this
Chapter 272
message, it meant that it was true.
Vincent wondered how Kenneth knew his father’s name was Darren. Darren hid everything about him after all.
Vincent found Darren and said to him respectfully, “Dad, did you kidnap someone called Hugo?”
Darren was stunned. He asked in a deep voice, “How do you know?”
Vincent had never seen anything on the dark web so he didn’t know a lot of things. He said, “Dad, why? What rules did you break?”
Darren looked bad. He said loudly, “Yes, I broke the rules. So what? All I know is that as long as I kidnap him, Dr. Quirke will show up. He can save your mother.”
“Treat him well or you will regret it.” Vincent thought that his father was a bit too obstinate. “You just want Dr. Quirke to save Mom. If you hurt Hugo, you will be challenged with a lot more problems.”
Vincent was also worried about his mother and Harper. It had always been like a grief for Theodore and Vincent. But Vincent’s father always taught them not to go against their conscience or do something immoral or things that violated the law.
Vincent thought, ‘What is he doing now? If anyone else knows, it will be a disaster. This is a felony.
“The person who sent me this message is Kenneth. So, he must have the evidence.
‘Dad is really good at making us trouble.’”
Darren said angrily, “As long as Dr. Quirke appears, I will definitely not hurt Hugo. After all, he is about the same age as me. Why would I do that?”
He only broke the rules for Leanna. Dr. Quirke refused his order several times so he thought he had no choice but to commit a crime.
As long as Dr. Quirke was willing to treat Leanna, he would do anything even if Cassandra wanted to shoot him.
Emergency calls only…
Chapter 272
But the premise was that Leanna must be cured.

Cassandra had no appetite at all. She didn’t want to eat anything. She took a few bites and then put down her fork.
Kenneth was distressed. He put her fork aside and said, “If you have no appetite, it’s okay. I will ask them to prepare some food for you on the plane.”
Cassandra couldn’t stop thinking about Hugo. She felt she was in a dilemma looking at the food in front of her.
Kenneth answered his phone and then said to Cassandra, “The check–up is done. Let’s go.”
Cassandra got up immediately but she didn’t leave directly. Instead, she looked at Kenneth and asked, “What do you want to tell me? When will you tell me?”
Kenneth said, “There are too many people here. It’s not the best place.”
Cassandra looked around and found that there were indeed a lot of people. She nodded. “Let’s talk about it on the plane.”
Nothing could stop her from saving Hugo.
On the plane.
Cassandra and Jeremiah were both waiting for Kenneth to speak. Jeremiah thought Kenneth didn’t know how to put it because he was present so he asked, “Is it because of me? How about I go to the bathroom?”
Kenneth was speechless.
So was Cassandra.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Kenneth looked at Cassandra with distress in his eyes. “If Kayden and I are right, Queen of Zosteylor is your biological mother. The person who kidnapped Hugo is your biological father.”
Hearing this, Cassandra froze. She didn’t tremble or get excited or angry. She was just expressionless and motionless.
Jeremiah’s eyes widened. He looked furious. He shouted, “Kenneth! Do you know what are talking about?”
He thought, ‘Biological parents? How ridiculous!
Elaine’s biological parents are alive? And they are leaders of a country?
you
‘Did they ever try to find Elaine? Did they ever think about what she had suffered in the past 18 years?
‘I would rather believe that Elaine’s parents, who have been away from her for so many years, are dead.
‘How will Elaine feel?‘
Kenneth said nothing. After a while, he looked up at Jeremiah with a sullen face. “I hope I’m mistaken. The reason why Mr. Houston confirmed that Cassie was his granddaughter is the remarkable resemblance between Cassie and her biological mother. I thought so too when I saw the Queen.”
He even thought he was having an illusion of how Cassandra would look like 40 years later.
Jeremiah didn’t know what to say. He sat down in depression.
Cassandra was still expressionless and motionless. Kenneth felt sorrowful because of it. He sat next to Cassandra and held her in his arms. “Cassie, I’m telling you this because I think you have the right to know. If I want to keep hiding it from you, I can save Hugo without telling you anything.
“But I do think you should know everything. It’s your decision. Whether to save her or not is up to you.”
But actually, Kenneth was already regretting it. Looking at Cassandra’s emotionless face, he felt his heart was broken.
Cassandra had already suffered a lot. Kenneth kept asking himself why he had to tear her
wound.
“I’m okay.” Cassandra finally said lightly, “They still have Hugo. We can’t break into the Queen’s Palace. It will cause international disputes. Hugo certainly won’t want to put the diplomacy between the two countries in an awkward situation because of himself. He is just doing this for Dr. Quirke. I will show up.”
She thought, ‘Maximilian keeps saying that Darren has no choice. So his only choice is living a happy life with his wife in Zosteylor and raising their son.
‘Harper is about the same age as me. So, they only took Harper with them and left me alone, didn’t they?‘
