The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 298 - Panic Room

She hushes Kal while she's monitoring the caretaker on cleaning up the weeds from the garden. Shortly, Terrence speaks.

"Babe, I'm sorry. Yes, I told him to come like five days ago. I forgot to tell you."

"Shit." She grumbled and then she hushed Kal. "I panic, I'm sorry."

"It's fine. It's good." Terrence said. "Just had the dogs offer him some snacks. He will only work for two hours."

"Okay," She sighed and Kal stopped crying and pointed to the phone. She reached it and gave it to him.

"Tata!" Kal said to the phone.

"Hey, Kal." Terrence greeted and Kal smiled at Maxi.

"I will prepare snacks then." She said and she kissed Kal. "Hold that for me, okay baby?"

She walked out of the panic room as the dogs followed her. Then, she went to the kitchen and took out the bread, and heated it. Then, she also sliced fruits and put them in a bowl. Then, she put it in the basket and whistled at the dogs. They fell in line and then, she gave a basket to each of them so they could carry them easily.

Then, the dogs came back and lined up. She smiled as she gave each of them their treat snacks. Kal frowned and started babbling something. She smiled as she smashed the fruits and put them on his teether fruit moderator. She reached for his hand as she gave it to him. His hands gripped on the teether and he took a big bite and looked up at her with those beautiful eyes that reminded her of Johanna, who is Keira's sister.

"You look so pretty." She said as she patted his fat cheeks.

She then went straight on preparing their lunch. Later on, they will have their nap.

"I love you." She said to Kal who looked up at her and continued sucking the fruits. She reached the tablet and checked the caretaker who was busy pulling out the weeds and he checked a few more of it. Then, he takes a break, drinks the juice that she prepared.

Then, after she's done, she takes Kal and goes to the garden where the old man was preparing to leave.

"Are you leaving?" She asked.

"Yes, Madam. Boss already wired the money."

"Okay." She nodded her head.

"Just call me if you need anything, Lady Boss." He said. "When is Boss going to come back?"

She was a little bit surprised that he knew that Terrence wasn't here. But then, she thought that Terrence might have told him.

"Soon." She said. Then, the old man tipped his cap as he turned back and left.

Kal yawned and hugged her neck. She went back inside and made sure that the doors and windows were locked. She also watched as the old man used the small gate and he locked it. After he left, she made sure that everything was locked including the gates.

"Okay, baby. We are safe now." She smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "I know you are sleepy, but let's have lunch first."

Violet was currently in her room and watching the live footage of the house. She watched as Maxine was careful toward Kal. Max was treating his son like her own. She sniffled and hugged the pillow. Currently, Maxi went to the bedroom and she turned on the camera and waved at it. Violet was currently online to see them.

"I will just clean up Kal," Maxine said as she took Kal to the bathroom.

She ditches her husband just to see her darling baby. Shortly, Maxine came back with giggling Kal wrapped in a towel. Then, she put him in the crib and he quickly grabbed his toys. She smiled as she watched Kal. Then, Maxine came back with clothes and she picked up Kal and dressed him up. Then, they settled in bed and she pointed the camera and the screen to them.

"Look, there's mommy." Maxine pointed to the small monitor and Kal looked up at it. He smiled and screamed excitedly. He crawled toward the monitor and Maxine caught him. Then he moved closer and held it.

Violet's heart melted seeing her baby. She caressed the monitor like she's caressing Kal.

"Hey, love. Did you miss me?"

Kal focused on the monitor and giggled.

"I miss you so, so much. I hope mommy can come there, hold you, and kiss you." She said softly. "I met your daddy. Don't grow up too fast, okay?"

Kal started babbling something as Maxine whispered to him.

"Mommy." She said and then she said Mama again as Kal looked up at Maxine and adorably looked down at the camera. He kept babbling like he wanted to tell something.

"Okay?" Violet giggled. "What else happened?" She asked and Kal yawned and leaned to Maxine. He held the tablet and kept it as he kept babbling. "You become more talkative," Violet said softly. She had everything recorded from the very start.

"I think he's sleeping," Maxine said.

Violet watched as Maxine set up Kal's pillows and then let him have the tablet. Then, she fixed the camera to focus it on Kal so she could still see her baby's face. Shortly, Kal was busy sucking on his milk and Violet started singing him his favorite lullaby. Maxine carefully removed the tablet and she smiled at the camera.

"Thank you, Max," Violet said softly. "I missed my baby so much."

"I know. I have a lot to tell you about Kal."

"Yes," Violet nodded her head. "Hey, I sent you my number. Call me if there's an emergency. Anytime, okay?"

She nodded her head.

"There will be times that Terrence might not answer your call. He will be very busy. At this moment, he's currently in a laboratory. So, I will be monitoring you for a while."

"Okay, that's cool." She smiled.

"Let me watch over him."

"Thank you. I will just clean up the mess in the kitchen." She said as she set up the tablet. She made sure that the bed was surrounded by pillows.

Violet smiled while watching her baby sleep peacefully. Her body, mind, and heart wanted to go to him right away so she could snuggle to him, kiss him and listen to his laugh. Just a few hours ago, she listened to Bull as he told her everything that her son had been doing. It's funny because her son acted like he knew everything and he loved teasing the couple.

She took the other tablet as she checked on what Maxine was doing. Currently, Maxine was fast as she cleaned up the countertops, and then she carried the garbage out. She somehow felt a little sorry that she had to do all of it alone without Terrence. She sniffled and pouted as she watched her baby sleeping peacefully. He even moved to the other side and then the dog that was guarding him, popped up his head to peek at him.

"Vi," A loud knock on the door made her frown. She quickly clicked the microphone to turn it off. Then, the door burst open. "I think you are needed in the lab," Ian said.

"It's my day off today." She frowned at him.

"But you are needed, right now."

She rolled her eyes.

"Also, your man is waiting in the same cafe. He's been there for like two hours now."

"What?" She frowned at him.

"First, you need to go to the laboratory. You need a check on something."

She put her jacket on, slid her slippers, and then she grabbed the tablet and gave it to him.

"Watch over my son and Maxine. Just call Maxine if my son wakes up."

"O~okay." He looked at the tablet to find a baby sleeping sideways adorably.

However, Ian followed her to the laboratory. Shortly, she arrived in the lab as she put her lab coat on and face mask. Then, she approached the scientists that had been waiting for her.

"Madam," They bowed their heads. "The blood that you sent to us reacts." The head doctor who was working with her said,

She moved to the tablet as she peeked at the microscope. She stood straight and frowned.

"How about the other nanomites?" She asked them.

"We tried, but then the destructive nanomites in the blood were hard to fight. It might cause the patient-internal injury or worse, die. The last option was to take control of the destructive nanomites until we have the patient."

She sighed and closed her eyes hard.

"Try something else." She ordered. "I will be back by tomorrow."

"Yes, boss."

She stopped and looked at them.

"How about the antidote? How about the chemicals that we made to remove all of the destructive nanomites?"

They looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"We haven't found the right formula."

She exhaled softly.

"I will be back by tomorrow. Try finding something." She said as they nodded. She turned back from them and Ian followed her. She took the tablet and checked on her son. Somehow, all of the stress has been washed off.

"I think I want a baby," Ian mumbled.

"Fix your problem with your wife's dad first." They kept walking.

"There's no problem with our relationship." He said and put his arms over her shoulder. "So, you going to Victor?"

"Yes, I need to find other things." She said.

"Okay, just call me if you need me."

"Yes, I need you now." She gave the tablet to him.. "Watch over my baby and Max."
