"I do love Vireo."
Elsa shook her head. "I know. You are his adoptive mother, so you indeed had loved him. However, that was you loving your adopted son. That has nothing to do with m e at all. I will not look into the matter of you buying your son anymore. We have nothing to do with each other anymore from now on. My son's name is Holden Payne. He was the child that I had with the man I once loved. As for your adopted son, whether you had abused him to death or not, it’s up to the police to solve the case. It has nothing to do with me. I am here today because I want to see my son. He had just finished performing an operation. He truly has worked very hard. I want to take him home. I've already made some food, and
I'm waiting for him to come home to have dinner."
After that, Elsa raised her gaze and looked a t Vireo with an affectionate expression. " Holden, let's go home. You're tired and you need rest. From now on, you're Holden. There will not be any so-called adoptive mother coming to harass you anymore. Nobody would be coming to harass you anymore."
Vireo wrapped an arm around his mother." Alright, Mom. Let's go home."
After that, he left with his mother while his arm was still wrapped around her. He drove when came over, so of course, he would be driving his mother in his car when they were returning home. When the mother and son walked past Sean, Sean looked at them with an ingratiating expression. Elsa did not look at Sean. Vireo, however, looked at Sean and bowed deeply at him. "Thank you!"
He still did not address him as his dad, but Sean did not mind at all. He also did not blame Vireo. "Quickly, my son, hold your mother and take her home. Don’t let her be too sad. Take care of your mother after this.
"Alright," said Vireo. After that, one by one, Vireo said goodbye to Sabrina, Sebastian, Gloria, and also Ruth. He wanted to first leave this place because he did not want to see the police putting handcuffs on his adoptive parents. He was afraid that he would go soft on them. In fact, he truly was already feeling sorry for them.
The Payne family's cries at the of their lungs could be heard coming from behind him. "Vireo, Vireo, you can't just do nothing and not save us."
"Vireo, we know that we're wrong..."
"Vireo, I am your eldest sister."
