Embrace Love's
CH 16'S. Choice

Catalina dream. He held Leon in a very beautiful garden. They laughed together, Leon endlessly blabbed in a carefree voice. Catalina cradled the baby, carried it around, then her body hit someone's hard chest, Catalina looked up, a man with a cruel and cold face was before her.

The man grabbed Leon and pushed Catalina so hard that she fell down. Catalina tried to get up and chase, but her legs seemed to be embedded in the ground. He was unable to move, only his blaring cries calling Leon's name repeated.

Joanna scrunched her forehead looking at Catalina who was lying in a hospital bed. Claude called him saying that he and Vincent had found Catalina. The girl was attacked by a group of men and eventually fainted.

Catalina repeatedly delirious, calling Leon's name even yelled. Lastly he cried while calling Leon's name repeatedly. Joanna tried to wake him up by shaking the girl's shoulder.

"Lina! Catalina's! Wake up! Oi! You're delirious!"

Claude and Vincent looked at each other when they saw Catalina crying bitterly in their sleep.

Finally the wobble on her shoulder made Catalina open her eyes. He looked around confused.

"You're in the hospital" said Joanna. Catalina looked at the woman and started crying.

"Yohan! Leon ... Oh my God." Catalina hustle hard.

"Where's Leonard, Lina?" Joanna asked in a cold voice. He gets a report that Catalina followed him to the office on the grounds that she will go with him to the hospital because of Leon's immunization schedule. But the girl never saw him. He immediately checked the cctv recording of the office lobby and it turned out that the girl did enter briefly by holding Leon, but then came out again and left the B Corp building.

"Where did you leave Leonard!?" Joanna asked impatiently. Not the answer she received, but Catalina's crying voice became louder.

"Claude and Vincent found you in that filthy alley alone without Leon! It was the criminals who took Leon!?"

Catalina shook her head repeatedly.

"Bu ... no. .. his abduction in ca. .. cafe." He stopped and scratched his nose. Claude looked at the girl for pity. Seen once he was in shock and anxious not a bitch.

"What! Kidnapping!?" Yoana's voice boomed. He pulled Catalina's arm violently.

"Tell me all about the stupid girls! You intend to take Leon away and hand him over to the kidnapper!" Joanna screams hysterically. Claude immediately pulled her sister over as Joanna began to push Catalina's body repeatedly violently.

"Take off me Claude! Leonard's out there alone! All because he was selfish! He only thinks about himself! Now Leon doesn't know where it is!" Joanna also started crying.

"Shhhhh ... Hhhhh ... Joan ... Oi! Be calm! Listen to me!" Joanna stopped and looked at her sister.

"Vincent's people are already moving in search of him. Be calm. Everything's gonna be fine. Trust me." Claude hugged his brother. Hoping for Joanna to stop her anger and anxiety is unnecessary. He looked at Vincent while frowning.Vincent frowned back.

"Now what, Claude? What are we going to do with this girl!?" Joanna looked coldly at Catalina who was still crying.

"Listen to me, Cat .. Without a plea from you, I'll find my niece! We will raise her in the arms of the Bernard family. The DNA results have also proven that he is Simon's biological son. You won't have any more rights to Leonard. You won't win either if you take this matter to court. In addition to the fact that the money transaction you made to buy Leonard from Marilyn and Marilyn's assertion that you would sell him to the highest bidder, this kidnapping incident will be a matter for the judges. You can't babysit Leon!" A long explanation from Claude made the pair of clear blue eyes widen. Claude added viciously.

"I'm only offering you one more time. If you refuse, you'll never see Leon again! If we find Leon later, then your chance to stay with him is to be his nanny and accompany Joanna until Leon finally gets used to Yoan."

Catalina opened her mouth but closed it again a second later. Joanna saw the girl thinking hard. But Joanna knew, Claude didn't really make a choice. The stubborn girl will obey. Joanna was very confident, because Catalina loved Leon very much. He will not part with the baby.

"And I remind you .. Don't try to escape Leon again when we bring him back. You will feel the consequences if you do it again! Keep my words, Cat." Claude added to his threat with a cold voice. He stared and knew he had scared the girl. There is no other option for Catalina if she wants to stay with Leon.

"Tap .. but my job ...." Catalina.

"Vincent will cancel your contract with Eliza hospital. You work for us. His contract will be handled by Yoana, and don't be afraid about the salary. We'll give you three times the amount Eliza hospital gave you."

Catalina. He squeezed both his hands in agitation. Claude folded his hands in front of his chest, waiting for an answer he could already guess.

"How long is the deadline? Until I'm not needed after Leonard finally gets used to you guys? Then am I gonna be kicked out and never see Leon again?" Sadness coloring Catalina's tone of voice. His eyes began to glaze over again.

"No. If you're being nice, maybe I'll give you permission if you miss seeing Leonard after your contract is done." Yoana answered Catalina's question before Claude opened his mouth.

"But as Claude said earlier, don't try to run Leonard again! This time we might let you be raped and killed by those criminals. Today you're lucky Claude and Vincent found you on time."

Catalina shuddered and rubbed her arms suddenly. Horrified to imagine his body being loved by the men.

Catalina gulps. There was no other choice, she did not want to part with the baby. He will give an explanation to doctor Luigi if later his phone has been returned by Yoana.

"alright. I'll work for you guys. Just so you're looking for and finding Leon. I'll do anything to keep my baby safe." Catalina looked at Yoana who immediately patted Claude on the shoulder.

"Come away and do your job, Claude! Leave us here, find Leon as soon as anything happens to him." Joanna gave the order to her sister who raised an eyebrow. Vincent smiled amusedly, he came out of the room first before being chased out by the great miss Bernard.

"And you, Lina. Lie down again, rest your head! joanna's orders again.

Catalina said her head was still dizzy. He closed his eyes and prayed in his heart. Hopefully Claude and Vincent find Leonard healthy and nothing less as soon as possible .
