Chapter 21
What? You think I’m wrong?” Ramon wanted Carlos to state his suspicions so they conid debunk them. “Tin bringing the kid to the hospital for a detailed
xamination. You two can run a DNA test. But you better think of how to explain to your kid why you strangled him. He may not want to be your son anymore.” IfNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
amon were Samuel, he would never acknowledge him.
muel snorted angrily at Ramon’s words. He never wanted to see his sc**mb**g dad again. All the so-called niceness yesterday was just an illusion.
Carlos agreed. He didn’t believe anyone could switch his son from under his nose either. However, he would only trust the final test results.
Averie wasn’t opposed to it either. She was sure Samuel was not Neil. If this went on, Neil’s rescue would be further delayed, and the chance of him dying would increase with any luck.
Averie wanted to go to the hospital with them to see it herself. Unfortunately, she had taken leave from the crew to pick up Neil. The crew had been urging her to return early. Averie had to rush back, not wanting to offend the internationally renowned director.
Carlos had Adam accompany them to the hospital.
Adam was puzzled. “Mr. Monroe, what if the kid is not Mr. Neil? Aren’t you worried?” The longer this dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for Neil.
Carlos’s heart ached. He was well aware of it. However, he didn’t know where had gone wrong and where to start investigating. If he wasn’t careful, he might alert the culprits.
“It is not easy to switch them under my nose. Since he went to such lengths, he won’t harm Neil easily,” Carlos stated. In other words, Neil would be safe until the culprit got what they wanted.
“I understand, Mr. Monroe. You’re saying the mastermind is behind this and intended more.” Adam became worried. “Could he know about our plan in three months and want to use Mr. Neil as leverage?”
The mastermind was someone hidden in the Monroe family and was responsible for the car accident that left Carlos in a coma three years ago and the fire that killed Vera five years ago.

Carlos intended to lure the mastermind into action with the fake wedding with Averie so he could catch the mastermind. If the mastermind sensed something was wrong and captured Neil as a hostage, it would be difficult to implement their plan.
“Let’s wait and see.” Carlos instructed Adam, “Keep a close eye on Ramon and Vivian. It’s too coincidental for them to turn up.” They could not rule out the possibility that the mastermind had sent them. After all, few had seen Dr. Miracle and Ramon.
“Understood.” Adam thought Ramon had agreed to come too easily as well.

Adam, with Carlos’s men, kept a close eye on them in the hospital. Although Ramon had Neil hidden and ready for the switch, he could not find an opportunity.
“Can’t we just knock him out?” Ramon couldn’t take it anymore. He had never been watched as closely as he was now, not even by his parents.
“Sure. Go ahead.” Vera’s answer shut Ramon up.

They were trained since young. However, even if Ramon could deal with Adam, he couldn’t deal with the team of bodyguards behind him.
Ramon asked, “What should we do then? The examination is almost done.”
