"Why do you keep questioning this? Let this be my problem if you really don't want to interfere with my problem."
"I do this because I care about Meredith and her husband. Didn't you see how devastated that woman was when she found out her son was kidnapped?"
"But he's happy to see his daughter coming back? That's the point, no matter if it's really his son or not. Most importantly the boy was really similar to Lucia, and that was enough."
"So right, she's not the real Lucia?" said Dorothy who immediately made Cato silent noiseless. The woman's trap was really on target, although in fact she had absolutely no intention of getting Cato to admit it herself like this. But their conversation unconsciously made the man fall into a trap he was not aware of at all. "Why are you silent? So right, she's not the real Lucia, huh? TELL ME!"
"YES!" yelled Cato who was getting cornered. Dorothy was silent as soon as she heard his confession. Now that his answer was answered, what he suspected was true. The Lucia Cato brought was not the real Lucia. Except for another Lucy who had a face that was really similar to that child. "He's not the real Lucia. As you know, the real Lucia was dead by then, and you were right. I can't bring a dead person back to life."
"I didn't make any children instead. He is not the real Lucia, nor have I made any child his successor. Because I created it."
"W-what?" Dorothy said, Cato really can't understand. Cato created it? This time it made no sense what else was the man talking about?
"You know? I created it. The Lucia that is now with Meredith is the cloned Lucia that I created. Great right? I'm a genius, right? I don't have to bother making another child instead. Because not necessarily the child has the same nature and behavior as the original Lucia. But with the clone I created, he's absolutely perfect. Lucia who was with them had a DNA that was one hundred percent compatible with Meredith and her husband, besides that she also had a trait and character that was completely similar to the original Lucia. So no one will know, and no one will be aware that the child is the result of cloning from his DNA. And you know what's even better? I managed to create the world's first human clone!"
Plakk!
Dorothy landed a slap on the man's face. The slap was so hard that his cheek was covered with a red mark. Dorothy's hands shook violently, her heart pounded unruffled, and her eyes glazed over. He was shocked not to play when he heard what Cato had just said. The man had lost his mind. "You're crazy! You're totally nuts... How could you possibly do all that? Do you realize that this is more than illegal!"
