"Mr. Fraser," Holden greeted with a forced smile. He felt very depressed. As Clarissa's husband, he had no status in front of her assistants and had to maintain a friendly demeanor when talking to them.

"We came to see Kathryn. How is she? We were worried about her all night. We just found out you sent her to the hospital, so we hurried over." Holden lied.

When Kathryn emerged, Holden stood up, looking concerned. "Kathryn."

"Dad, why are you here?" Kathryn asked, having overheard their conversation in the bathroom She knew they came to check if she was still alive. She pretended nothing had happened, walked over, and sat on the single sofa. Pedro stood beside her, acting as her guardian angel.

Holden, filled with self-blame, said,

"We came to see you. How are you? We were scared seeing you motionless last night. Look at me, NO me, the wounds on my face and arms are from your mom beating me. I thought she had hurt you and wanted to confront her, but I was useless. I couldn't vent your anger and got beaten instead."
