Ch. 503: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 503

Chapter 503

Kevin stepped up to Norah, a soft smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Norah, let's remarry. Let's go back to the capital together."

He had finally made his decision.

A reunited family—this was something Norah had only dreamed of. Now, it was slowly becoming a reality, and it felt almost unreal. She reached out, her fingers brushing against Kevin’s face. The warmth of his skin confirmed that this wasn’t a dream.

Her throat tightened.

Just then, Cooper suddenly collapsed, his body convulsing, his face twisted in pain.

"Cooper!"

Norah’s panicked cry rang out.

At first, she had taken in Cooper out of pity. But now, it was a mother’s instinct that drove her. She pulled him into her arms, trembling.

Jace rushed over. "Norah, let me take Cooper. I’ll treat him."

Reluctantly, Norah released her grip.

Kevin, however, suddenly realized something—Cooper had been under his father's care, eating regularly and receiving a special daily milk supplement. This wasn’t a coincidence.

Kevin's right hand clenched into a fist.

Without hesitation, he gripped Norah’s shoulders. "Norah, I have to take Cooper back to my father. Wait for me for three days, I’ll—"

"Does Cooper need medication? Kevin, I want to go with you!"

Cooper’s symptoms weren’t from an asthma attack. It looked more like withdrawal—like he was missing some crucial medication.

Kevin locked eyes with her. After a few moments of silence, he finally nodded.

Norah had changed in the past five years—she was stronger, more resolute.

But Kevin couldn’t ignore the fact that if he hadn’t arrived in time, his father’s men would have thrown Norah into the sea. If he brought her back to Country S, his father—

A warm, determined voice cut through his thoughts. "Kevin, don’t even think about leaving me behind."

A pause.

"…Alright."

Norah's unwavering gaze left him with no room to argue.

He also knew that proposing remarriage, after abandoning her for five years, wasn’t something easily forgiven. She didn’t want to be left behind again, and now that she knew Cooper was her son, she wasn’t going to accept being pushed aside.

In the next moment, Kevin pulled her into a tight embrace.

...

Once Jace stabilized Cooper, Kevin and Norah arrived. When Jace learned that Norah was going with Kevin, a pang of sadness settled in his chest.

He had built a life in Country S. If Norah and Kevin returned to the capital, he wouldn’t be able to follow them without consequences. He wouldn’t be able to interfere in their lives anymore.

That meant he wouldn’t see Norah for a long time.

"Stay safe on the road. If you need anything—if you ever feel unwell—call me, and I’ll be there," Jace offered.

Norah was about to decline, but Kevin spoke first. "Don’t worry, Jace. You can come with us."

Norah glanced at Kevin, instantly understanding his reasoning.

Jace didn’t hesitate. "Alright."

As long as he could stay by Norah’s side, he was willing.

The three of them set out.

Baimo didn’t stop Norah from leaving. Once Jace arrived at the presidential palace in Country S with Kevin, he finally realized Kevin’s true identity.

Kevin didn’t waste time. "I need to take the child for treatment. Watch over Norah for me. When I get the medicine, help me make sure it’s secure."

Jace nodded. "Got it."

As soon as Kevin left, Norah protested, but Jace held her back.

"Norah, even if you go after him now, it won’t change anything."

"Kevin has arranged everything. Trust him. And trust me—whatever medicine you need, I’ll get it for you."

Jace’s words were steady, unwavering. He didn’t care if he had to put himself in danger again.

Norah knew Jace would do everything in his power to help, but her heart still ached for Cooper. A five-year-old child shouldn’t have to endure such suffering.

She wished she could take his place.

But she also knew that falling apart wouldn’t help. She had to stay strong.

...

Kevin arrived at his father’s estate, carrying Cooper in his arms.

Mousse had expected his son to return. But he hadn’t expected him to bring Cooper.

"You sent him away, and now you’re bringing him back? You think you can come and go as you please?"

Mousse stood with his hands behind his back, mockery lacing his tone.

Kevin had defied him before, but now, the truth was obvious—he had secretly smuggled Cooper out.

And now...

Kevin’s voice was firm. "I don’t have time for this. Give me the medicine. You have other children to choose from."

Mousse had plenty of options.

Mousse scoffed. "Who I choose is none of your concern. If you want the medicine, you’ll have to follow my orders."

Kevin’s expression darkened. "Then Norah will take the boy away."

Mousse’s smirk deepened. "Do you really think you’re in a position to negotiate? You give yourself too much credit."

Kevin’s eyes turned ice-cold. "Then if you refuse, and my son dies, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself."

Mousse laughed. "You won’t let this child die. He’s of Country S. He belongs here. Not with some woman from the Yi tribe. You want her to take him away and raise him as one of them?"

"I don’t want this to escalate," Kevin warned.

Without another word, he pulled out a gun, aiming it directly at Mousse’s head.

Mousse had seen all kinds of conflicts over the years. A gun pointed at him was nothing new. If Kevin thought he could intimidate him, he was too naive.

Mousse grabbed Kevin’s wrist, the two locked in a tense standoff. But Kevin had anticipated this.

By now, many people had witnessed their confrontation. Kevin wasn’t about to let his father control him any longer.

More importantly—

For years, Kevin had worn a mask while in Country S. No one except Mousse had seen his real face.

But now, standing exposed, Kevin knew there were people here who would recognize him.

And sure enough—

"That’s Kevin! The leader of Craggaville!"

"Young Master Kevin?!"

Murmurs spread rapidly through the crowd. The revelation sent shockwaves through those watching.
