"And you use children as objects? What's really on your mind, and why did you agree to help them? Even you kidnapped Lucia? What if Meredith knew about this? What if Claire knows too? Didn't you ever think of getting there?"
"I did all this precisely with the intention of avenging them!"
"W-what..." Dorothy was speechless as soon as she heard what had just come out of her husband's mouth. "You're doing all this to get back at them?"
"At first I refused, but I was getting annoyed every time I remembered the woman. So I thought, maybe this is the best way I can do to get back at him. With this I feel satisfied, only by doing this do I also feel this is worth what they should get!"
"You're crazy! I didn't expect you to make it like this. I won't stay silent. I'll tell them all this!" Dorothy got up, the woman was about to go out from inside there. Cato immediately held him back.
"Don't do that! I don't want them to know."
"What do you hope for? You think I'll just keep quiet as long as I know all this?"
"You just shut up and pretend like you don't know anything. Don't let this be exposed, and don't let me do what we don't want to you or our children." Dorothy was silent again without a sound. Cato's words just now sounded more like a threat to her and her children. "Don't be crazy! If you dare involve Joe and Derek in this matter, I won't stay silent."
Cato brought his body closer. Holding his shoulder before finally landing a kiss on his forehead.

Time pass. After the debate, their household relationship was not okay. Cato and Dorothy seem to be in a cold war, although both show the usual reaction when meeting other family members. Since the debate, Cato went to Martin's headquarters in the next day and found the man there. As promised, Martin wants to invite Cato to go to the headquarters where they keep the children they have kidnapped.
Everything was going normally with Dorothy who was also trying hard to be ordinary. The woman went to work and tried to stay focused even though she was not calm.
A few weeks continued, and Dorothy grew increasingly uneasy. He was constantly overwhelmed by guilt mixed with fear. What Cato did really made his life unsettled, while from his observation. Cato is facing his days like nothing ever happened. The man even acted calm.
