Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1105 - Chapter 1105 Chapter 1077 Protecting the Calf

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1077: Protecting the Calf Chapter 1105: Chapter 1077: Protecting the Calf Zoe thought back to the days she eagerly awaited the baby in Mother’s belly with Dad, and the stories she excitedly prepared for her little brother or sister. She recalled all the good times, yet her heart felt an indescribable grievance, and as she thought about it, she cried.

Children don’t have overly complex thoughts, but at that moment, she just wanted to cry, her subconscious afraid of losing all those beautiful memories.

“I’m not a child of Dad and Mom, am I? That’s the truth, isn’t it? So many people around say so, and I heard it. But I’m too scared to tell you. Mom, where do I really come from?”

Even if Zoe believed Isaac when he said that she was not a child of a bad person, she still harbored doubts about her own origins. Ever since she was young, there were always whispers around her. Sometimes adults outside thought she was too little to remember and carelessly spoke their mind, not knowing that this kid was smart and remembered everything from an early age.

“Your origins…” Isaac knew that if she insisted right now that Zoe was her own flesh and blood, the ‘Concept Substitution’ she had just performed on the child wouldn’t work anymore. The child would still suspect that they might be the offspring of a bad person.

“Your origins, well, you’re actually the son of a hero! Your mother was a great hero, but she passed away, so your dad adopted you. We didn’t tell you because we were afraid it would hurt you.”

Isaac concocted a story about her origins, which, though cruel in its own right, was still better than being the child of a bad person.

Sure enough, Zoe stopped her tears and looked at Isaac with a mixture of understanding and confusion.

Isaac was willing to do anything for her son, using all the knowledge Kiara had taught her, from ‘Concept Substitution’ to creating a suitable backstory for the child, and even using ‘Subconscious Hypnosis’ in the end.

Kiara had taught her this technique, but Isaac never really had an opportunity to use it. She never expected that the first clinical use would be on her own son. At that moment, Isaac didn’t feel like she would fail, nor did she feel her usual self-doubt and lack of confidence.

Every mother will unleash one hundred percent effort for her son. To help Zoe, she was willing to become the strongest and most powerful psychologist in the world.

Second Brother hurried back home from his sky-bound journey after being informed upon landing that such a major incident had occurred at home. All along his rushed journey back, Second Brother’s mind was filled with images of his weeping wife and his injured son.

He had intended to protect his family and provide them with a safe harbor, so when Zoe’s origins were initially revealed, Second Brother did not want to tell Isaac or Zoe.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated that fate had its own plans, throwing such turmoil into their lives, leaving Second Brother’s heart ablaze with anxiety.

Upon his return, he found his parents sitting with furrowed brows on the sofa, but his beloved wife and son were nowhere to be seen.

“Where are Isaac and Zoe?”

Mother Yuno, dabbing at her tears, pointed to the inner room. The mother and child had gone in and hadn’t come out, and nobody dared to enter after them.

Second Brother said no more, his face stern as he hurried into the room.

Mother Yuno looked at Mr. Yuno, who also had a troubled expression, and hesitated to speak.

At that moment, every member of the Yuno family was deep in contemplation over the day’s events, thinking about how to face Zoe, with everyone reflecting on the matter.

When Second Brother pushed open the door, he was stunned by the scene before him.

He had thought he would find Isaac and Zoe embracing and weeping, but that was not the case.

Isaac, who was always gentle and frail, was now displaying a particularly professional and calm demeanor, silently performing hypnosis on the child.

Zoe had fallen asleep, her closed eyes conveying a sense of composure, her startled little heart had now calmed down. Isaac signaled to Indra Yuno with a “shush” gesture as he walked in, indicating that he should be quiet. Second Brother then quietly sat by the bedside, watching Isaac treat his son.

For the most part, Isaac had been overshadowed by Kiara’s aura, his only chance to show his strength was by taking Kiara’s place in competitions. At other times, she always seemed so humble.

But now, her full potential burst forth.

Isaac, no less professional than Kiara, was treating Zoe again. If Kiara were here, she would definitely admire his skills. Even Kiara had only dared to treat relatives after receiving guidance from Yuzo Joel, but Isaac seemed to have figured it out all by himself.

Zoe had fallen asleep, and the expression on his face had relaxed, no longer as emotionally distraught as when he had first arrived.

Isaac gestured towards the outside to Second Brother, and the two went out to talk.

“Isaac, how’s Zoe doing?” Second Brother asked impatiently.

“So far, he’s stabilized. From the Psychologist’s perspective, the Doctor’s work is nearly done. But this doesn’t mean we’ve won. The responsibility of being parents is just beginning,” Isaac said with some gravity.

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, psychologists can only provide simple guidance, but the future path of this child will entirely depend on our careful nurturing. It all depends on how much we can do for this child. Let me put it this way, to raise a child like Zoe to succeed takes as much effort as it would to raise three children to succeed. We need to love him without reservation, and let him feel the warmth of the family.”

Other families’ children might not take any comment to heart, but their precious baby’s heart is already scarred and carries inherent flaws. Raising a Zoe requires much more effort than an ordinary child.

It’s easy to say these words, but to accomplish this requires decades of effort and dedication. If done well, no one praises or rewards you, but if not, the disaster it brings to the entire family is unimaginable.

“I guess you’ve already made a decision, haven’t you? Let’s say it out loud together.” Seeing the expression on Isaac’s face, Second Brother already had an inkling.

“He’s our son, and we need to raise him well.” The two men said in unison and then exchanged a look, with Second Brother affectionately ruffling Isaac’s hair.

“Isaac, you’ve grown up.” Previously, he had wanted to keep this from her, fearing she couldn’t handle it. But his Isaac was no longer the crying little girl of years past. She had grown into a mighty tree.

“Raising a child isn’t like raising a cat or dog where you can just give up on them. His coming into our home is fate, and I’m willing to use all my knowledge to raise this child well.” Isaac had never felt as determined as she did at this moment, finally finding her own value.

She had to work even harder to master her profession, to help her own family. She didn’t need to be as powerful as Mrs. Kiara to confront everything. Being a woman who protects her family was enough.

Mr. and Mother Yuno, who were outside the door, heard what Isaac had said. Mother Yuno’s eyes reddened again. She looked at her spouse troubled, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Mother Yuno feared her justice-loving spouse would not let their second son raise the child. Her stance was the same as Isaac’s. The child had been part of their family for so many years; they could never sever that bond.

“What are you looking at? Go and make meals for the child. When Zoe wakes up and is hungry, there will be nothing to eat. Steam some egg custard for the child.”

“My spouse, you–” Mother Yuno looked at him with a touch of surprise.

“What about me? Go cook. I’m going into the Study Room to make a few phone calls. I have to warn them that no one dares to speak about today’s events, and if anyone dares to let my grandson hear anything inappropriate in the future, they can’t blame me for turning on them.”

This was about being fiercely protective to the end.
