My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 896

She had grown up and become prettier, looking healthy and beautiful. It was obvious that her father doted on her and had raised her well.

After he untied the rope, Carmen placed her shoeless foot on the ground, but the rough surface of the brick tiles on the ground hurt her foot, so she had to lift it up. She then wobbled and fell into Quinton’s arm, while the latter carried her up and uttered, “Carmen, I’ll bring you to your daddy and mommy.”

“Okay,” she replied in a childish voice as she buried her face into his fragrant embrace.

He gave her the bouquet. “Carmen, you have finished your last shot for the movie. This is a little present for you as a celebration.”

Quinton carefully went down the stairs while carrying her in his arms and answered, “I used to be the bad guy, but today, I acted as the good guy!”

Seeing that the two of them had gone down, Justin verified that Carmen was now safe and communicated the message to the people below before eagerly rushing to Celine.

Celine had fallen into a deep sleep; her breathing was stable, and her face seemed rather rosy.

Carrying his wife in his arms, he cried so badly that words could not be formed. Just now, he thought that the whole world had given up on her.

At the ground floor, Sophia heard the sound of footsteps and Carmen’s sweet voice coming from the incomplete building.

“Mister, do you think that I’d acted well?”

Quinton replied, “Yes, you were amazing. Carmen, you were born to be an actress. I look forward to working with you for my next movie too!”

Upon hearing that voice, Sophia’s body froze; tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks, rinsing her numb face. Quinton was seen slowly walking out from the darkness to the spot illuminated by the searchlights, carrying a small figure in his arms.

He looked at the crowd that swarmed at him before slowly squatting down and placing Carmen on the ground. He helped her to put on the shoe that he had found earlier, gently stroked her head, and said, “Good girl, you can go to your parents and grandpa now!”

As soon as she was put down, she dashed at Michael and Sophia. “Daddy, Mommy!”

“Baby!”

Both of them came running at her and embraced her, as if they were embracing their entire world.

As for Quinton, after he put Carmen down, he slowly rose to his full height with his hands raised. The Fletcher Family’s men slowly approached him, and after confirming that he had no weapon on him, they surrounded him and caught him.

When Carmen saw Quinton being captured after she left Michael’s embrace, she innocently asked, “Why is Uncle Joel capturing him?”

Michael wiped away his tears of excitement and joy for getting back something that he had nearly lost. “They are still shooting for the movie. That mister is acting as the bad guy! Uncle Joel is acting as the police today, so the police have to catch the bad guy.”

She pouted and muttered, “But he said that he was acting as the good guy today.”

Sophia, who had embraced Carmen, was overwhelmed by a complex feeling when she watched as Quinton was being caught.

He really came and saved Carmen.

Soon, the car of the Fletcher Family and military unit left, while Harry and Sarah, who had come to help, went home as well. Only then did Michael leave and head off to the research center.

In Cooper’s car, Sophia was hugging her baby, who had finally returned to her, while sobbing uncontrollably.

She really did not know how she would live without Carmen! She felt as if her heart was stabbed by a thousand knives when she saw Carmen held imprisoned on her own at such a high place earlier.

Linus gently cleaned Carmen’s face, wrapped her in a blanket, and put aside her bouquet of flowers before handing her 400. “Carmen, your performance today was superb. This is your salary given by the filming company. You have earned 400 in total since shooting for night scenes pays better!”

She delightfully took the money and tightly held it in her hands. “Mommy, why are you crying?” she innocently looked at Sophia and asked.

Sophia sniffled and wiped away her tears before forcing a smile on her face as she answered, “It’s because today was your first time shooting for a night scene, but you did a great job, so I’m very happy for you.”

Cooper hugged her and stroked her messy hair. “The situation earlier is how shooting for a movie is like—you will face all sorts of sudden events, and the actors’ acting skills will be so excellent that they may startle small children, just like how you were so afraid that you cried today. Carmen, if you wish to become an actress, you will face more similar situations!”

Carmen leaned sluggishly in Cooper’s arms with the four banknotes tightly held in her hands. She wished to continue acting to earn money, but everyone’s acting skills were so good that they seemed real when they acted as the villain, which made her cry out of terror.

She was in a dilemma.

Sophia wept soundlessly as she glanced at Linus in gratitude. Linus, who was considerate in nature, acted meticulously in order to protect Carmen’s tiny yet fragile mind—a traumatizing experience would affect a child for a lifetime! Now, Carmen thought that she had merely acted in a police action blockbuster movie—the type of movie with a commission of 400 per day. Therefore, she was able to happily count the money now. The treacherous scene today would probably remain in her memories as a mere surprise.
