Chapter 61
“If they carried the wrong baby, then Sophie should have been taken away by someone else. Why is she in the welfare institute?” Wesley was a meticulous person and couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.
At this point, Timothy couldn’t help but sigh. “Well, twenty years ago, many people couldn’t afford the medical fees and ran away during the fire. Together with Sophie, three baby girls were unclaimed at that time. In the end, they were sent to the welfare institute…”
Speaking of this, Timothy felt sorry for Sophie again.
When they thought about how Sophie had spent her childhood in a welfare home and how well they treated someone else’s child, they felt very stupid.
The Dawson family people also knew what happened after that.
Bianca could no longer hold back her tears. “It’s all my fault… If I hadn’t suddenly given birth to you on the way home, I wouldn’t have given birth in that hospital.”
If it was in Habourland, Bianca would definitely have someone to take care of her child. The child would also be well–guarded. Such a thing would definitely not happen..
Marcus quickly comforted her. “It’s not your fault. It’s my fault for being too worried about you at that time. I thought that it would be fine to delay for a few minutes before going to see the child…”
‘In just ten minutes, the hospital was on fire, causing my own daughter to be left outside. As a father, I am really incompetent… Marcus thought.
Seeing how sad her family was, Sophie could not help but say, “Dad, Mom, Brothers, these. things are all in the past. Now that I can find my family again and not be an orphan, I’m very satisfied.”
Sophie’s voice was a little choked up, making her brothers could not help but feel sorry.
‘Sophie had clearly suffered a lot outside, but she still comforted us when she returned home. We are really incompetent,‘ they thought.

Chapter 61
“Sophie, don’t worry. I will make it up to you in the future!” Benjamin was the first to make a promise, unable to suppress the guilt in his heart.
Wesley also nodded and said, “I’ll treat you better as well.”
Wesley could tell that Sophie was a very sensible and strong girl. Such a girl made him feel sorry for her even more.
Timothy also said from the bottom of his heart, “Sophie, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you. I won’t let anyone bully you again.”
Lucas could not help but sigh. “You’ve already said everything. What should I say to Big Brother? Let’s say something practical.”
As he spoke, Lucas took out a car key and handed it to Sophie. “Sophie, I’m so happy that you finally come back home. As your older brother, I naturally can’t welcome you empty- handed. When I went out with Timothy just now, I bought you a new car as a greeting gift.”
They did not expect Lucas to come prepared. The other brothers immediately frowned and
looked at him.
Benjamin was the first to stand up and wrap his arms around Lucas’s neck. Benjamin said forcefully, “Lucas, you’re good. You actually learned to make us embarrassed?”
Lucas didn’t even tell them that he was preparing a gift!
Lucas raised his eyebrows coldly and said, “Did you leave me a sentence when you were promising just now? You can’t blame me for this.”
Timothy also shook his head helplessly. “Lucas, you’re really too cunning. No wonder you mysteriously disappeared for half an hour when I was investigating the case. So you went to buy a car.”
“Thank you for the compliment,” Lucas said with a smile.
Lucas did not think that the word “cunning” was a derogatory term at all.
Seeing that Lucas had prepared a gift, Benjamin quickly took out a black card and said,
“Since Lucas gave you a car, I didn’t prepare anything special. There’s no limit to this card.
If you need anything, you can use it at any time. I’ll reimburse you.”

They did not expect Benjamin to be so generous. Wesley and Timothy were both stunned.
“Benjamin, I think you are the one who make us embarrassed!” Timothy said helplessly.
Cars and money were all given. Timothy had been busy running around and had not prepared anything.
Seeing that the two brothers had taken action, Kenneth said coldly, “You don’t have a house to live in, right? I’ll give you a seaside villa. How about that?”
“What!” As soon as Kenneth said this, Timothy, who was drinking water, spat out. “Kenneth, what did you say?”
Kenneth was the quietest in this family. He would not speak unless it was a critical
moment.
Timothy did not expect that Kenneth would actually participate in giving gifts to Sophie!
“What else can I do? It’s embarrassing to be last.” Kenneth glanced at Timothy meaningfully.
Timothy was instantly defeated.
Wesley sighed helplessly. “Timothy, don’t be anxious. I didn’t have time to prepare today.”
Only then did Timothy feel better. “Then let’s prepare another day?”
Unexpectedly, Wesley suddenly shook his head. “That won’t be necessary. Girls like clothes, shoes, and bags. I’ll get someone to send some limited editions over later.”
“What?” Timothy’s face instantly turned pale. “Didn’t you say not to be anxious? You’re making me so anxious now!”
As a criminal police officer, Timothy was usually not at home, unlike Kenneth and Benjamin who were in the company all day long and had a lot of money in their hands. Timothy did not like houses and cars. He was just a police who only knew how to investigate cases. Now, even the way to give clothes and bags as gifts had been snatched by Wesley. Timothy really did not know what to give.
Sophie was already flattered. She did not expect to receive so many gifts as soon as she

returned home! She was a little uneasy for a moment. “Actually, you don’t have to spend so much money…”
Marcus said, “Don’t say that! They usually buy a lot of things for Evelyn. Although it’s not as valuable as this, it’s still a form of compensation for you. Just accept it as a token of their goodwill.”
Since Marcus had already said so, Sophie could only agree.
At this moment, Timothy seemed to have finally thought of something. “They’re giving your a car and a house. I don’t know what to give at all. Why don’t I give something to you to protect yourself?”
Sophie was stunned when she saw Timothy handing her something that looked like a flashlight. “What is this?” Sophie asked.
At this moment, Wesley could not help but widen his eyes. “Wow, isn’t this the high–tech self–defense divine artifact you carry with you?”
Timothy rolled his eyes at Wesley and said, “Its name isn’t that long. It’s called Soul
Catcher.”
As he spoke, Timothy pressed the switch in front of Sophie.
An electric current immediately appeared at the front of the flashlight, startling Sophie. “What’s this…” Sophie said.

“Although this thing looks like a small flashlight, the front end is a self–defense taser. The other buttons beside it are recordings and a pinhole camera. The button on the other side can spout some anesthetic spray, which will make one’s mind blank for a short time. There’s an antidote in the middle compartment that can deal with more than 20 kinds of poisons and toxins. It has different degrees of antidote functions. Then, the Soul Catcher can be pried open from the middle and turn into a sharp dagger. There’s also an emergency laser beam hidden at the end…” Timothy explained.
This was a divine artifact that Timothy carried with him on missions. He had spent a lot of money to customize it. The price was enough to buy a car. Moreover, it could protect her. It was simply the best gift for a girl.

Sophie looked at such an expensive gift and could not help but say, “This is too expensive. Timothy, you should keep it for yourself…”
‘I should not be in danger as much as Timothy, Sophie thought.
However, Timothy said, “You’ve suffered so much in the past. I’ll definitely protect you in the future, but there are times when I’m not around. Let Soul Catcher protect you.”
