All Her Secrets

Rachael rushed to the hospital and was horrified to find Johnathan lying in bed, covered in bruises. His face appeared pale and lifeless, almost as if he were dead. It shook her to the core, causing her legs to weaken.

While she loved Liana dearly, Johnathan held a special place in her heart. After all, she gained a foothold in the Swanns only because she had given birth to a son.

Approaching him cautiously, Rachael felt her hands trembling, unsure of how to handle the situation. “Johnny, how did this happen to you?”

Johnathan held a grudge against his father for not standing up for him. However, Korbin had always been harsh to his kids, so he dared not speak up.

However, now that he had his mother as his staunch supporter, everything felt different.

Despite the pain, Johnathan summoned the strength to sit up and rushed toward Rachael.

The sudden movement caused him intense pain, tears streaming down his face, making his plea more convincing. “Mommy, you’re finally here! If you hadn’t come, that jinx would have killed me. She whipped me with a riding crop. The pain is unbearable, and it feels like I’m on the verge of death!”

Rachael’s hands trembled as she cupped Johnathan’s face, wiping away his tears.

“Don’t worry! I will seek revenge for you!”

Johnathan exposed the wounds on his back to Rachael.

The purplish wounds were a horrifying sight for Rachael.

Rachael had never laid a hand on her baby boy since his birth. She couldn’t believe that Catherine dared to treat her son like this. Was that jinx insane?

Rachael gritted her teeth and asked, “Where is Catherine?”

Filled with rage, Rachael stood up and glared at Korbin. “Are you just going to stand there and allow that jinx to harm our son?”

Korbin could understand Rachael’s anger, for he, too, was seething with fury. However, her public questioning of him only further infuriated him.

“Calm down!” he said.
