Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 496

Upon hearing that their daughter was safely back in the country and due to visit them today, Logan and Taylor Earwood began their wait outside the front door at the crack of dawn.

At long last, they spotted a car approaching from afar.

Exiting the car, Clark held Carol’s hand while Dennis trailed behind them, causing Logan and Taylor to choke up with emotion.

"Carol!" Taylor was the first to rush forward and embrace her daughter, wishing she could hold her even tighter.

Their daughter was finally back!

What a relief!

Clark was worried about the potential reopening of Carol’s wounds, but he had promised her before leaving not to mention her injury.

At this moment, Logan was hugging both his wife and daughter, his voice choked with emotion.

"As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters."

Concerned about Carol’s injuries, Clark said, "Can I have a hug too?"

Although Logan was taken aback for a moment, he reached out to hug Clark after noticing his injuries.

Taylor also went up and gently embraced him. "Clark, have you seen a doctor about your wounds?"

"Yes, the doctor told me they’re just superficial injuries, nothing serious."

"Nonsense. I saw that deep cut on you myself. You can’t fool me," Taylor, not fooled by his words, worriedly asked, "Did it hit any bones? Oh, and where is Rose? Is she okay?"

"She’s gone home."

"Right, we two old folks don’t need such a fancy house with someone taking care of us. But that girl insisted that it’s safer here."

Once inside, Carol introduced Dennis.

Neither Logan nor Taylor had expected that the young man beside them was Carol’s biological brother. Looking more closely, they could see some resemblances.

"Our parents took us to an amusement park when we were young. It was crowded that day, and we got lost. My sister must have been taken to an orphanage while I was kidnapped, knocked unconscious, and sold to a remote village. I later escaped and began looking for my sister."

At that time, they were too young to remember their home address or their parents’ names. All he vaguely recalled was the beautiful interior of their home and how his parents would set up a Christmas tree in the garden during the holiday season.

But these details were of no use in finding their biological family.

However, he did remember a small crescent-shaped birthmark on his sister’s left hand.

A few years ago, he finally found his sister, but she had become the successor of an organization.

In an attempt to extricate his sister from the organization, they had made many preparations but were no match for the organization’s influence.

This was the first time Clark had heard about their past. It seemed that Carol’s biological parents were still alive.

If they could be found.

Clark glanced at the girl beside him again.

"We’ve had a DNA test done. Carol and I are definitely siblings," Dennis said seriously.

"I’m so pleased that you two were able to reconnect as siblings. In this lifetime, if you can find your biological parents, then you’ll have two sets of parents who love you. If not, we will treat you as if you were our own flesh and blood."

Surprisingly, Taylor wasn’t worried about Dennis whisking her daughter away. Instead, she felt joy in gaining another "son."

"Our family just got a little larger," Logan chuckled warmly.

For Dennis, this was the first time he felt the warmth and beauty of a family.

Gratefully, he looked at the kind-hearted couple before him. They didn’t shoo him away out of fear that he might take Carol—instead, they accepted his presence with open hearts.

"Thank you for taking care of Carol all these years," Dennis thanked them, standing up to bow in gratitude.

"What is there to thank us for? We’ve always treated Carol as our own," Taylor quickly motioned for him to sit down.

They engaged in a lengthy conversation, eventually discussing Clark’s recent endeavors for Carol’s sake.

Carol was moved to hear about Clark’s relentless pursuit of her—going to her house, following her to Lidaria, and even giving up a life-saving opportunity for her adoptive parents, facing a group of men all by himself.

Touched by his actions, she was even more convinced that he was the one.

"We support your relationship, and we are looking forward to celebrating your union," Taylor tenderly said, holding both Clark and Carol’s hands. "You two will be very happy."

Both of them were deeply in love with each other, putting one another before their own lives.

Dennis, who was observing from the side, had nothing to say since their adoptive parents had given their consent.

However, he would keep a close eye on Clark and Carol. He wouldn’t let his sister suffer the slightest bit of injustice.

"As for Clark’s parents, we’ll leave it to him to explain everything when he’s ready, and then we can have Carol visit them," Taylor wasn’t in the least bit hurried about this matter. "If we need to make a visit, just let us know. We’ll make sure to bring the appropriate gifts."

"You’re too kind, Auntie. Carol herself is the best gift. If my parents were to see such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law, they would surely love her."

Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle at his words.

Logan then asked about the incident where a group of men barged into their house on Stardust Lane and tied them up.

Carol shared her experiences growing up in the orphanage, her subsequent role as a successor, and the time when she wanted to leave the organization but was forced to take a deadly poison.

Her adoptive parents were in shock, unable to utter a word for a while.

"Don’t worry, the poison in my body has been neutralized by Clark’s sister."

Carol lied about this matter.

However, Taylor was still worried and asked anxiously, "Are you feeling alright now? Do you have any side effects?"

"I’m perfectly fine," Carol replied, wincing as her mother squeezed her wounded hand, but she kept her composure, a soft gaze in her eyes.

Clark thought to himself, If Carol could bear this kind of pain with such grace, how painful must the poison inside her body be that it could make her cry?

"We need to find a way to bring those criminals to justice!" Logan was furious upon hearing about his daughter’s hardships.

"Rose has already come up with a plan, and we’re implementing it. It’s been effective these past few days," Carol assured them. She also apologized, "I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you when those men tied you up and sent me pictures on WhatsApp."

"I’m sorry, too. She was suffering from the poison at that time, and I was also severely injured. We truly regret that you had to suffer," Dennis added, feeling extremely guilty.

Under those circumstances, if he had even a bit of strength left, he wouldn’t have stood by and watched the elderly couple suffer.
