Chapter 546
Mike buried his face in his hands, crying out, "I regret it so much. Why did I say those cruel words to
her last night?"
Elijah couldn't help but feel his eyes well up as he recalled the events of the previous night.
"She seemed so scared and helpless; even if I couldn't immediately rescue her, I shouldn't have said
those things. She must have felt more desperate after hearing my words..." Mike was overwhelmed by
his guilt.
Elijah swallowed hard. "Stop crying. How's the mission going?"
Mike wiped away his tears and glanced at the progress on the computer screen. "It's almost done...
definitely by tonight. My head hurts. What should I do if Violette really died?"
Elijah dared not contemplate such a possibility.
"Maybe you should go home and take a shower," Mike suggested, looking at the stubble on Elijah's
chin, realizing he might have been suffering even more than himself. Violette was pregnant with his
child after all.
Elijah stood there, looking lost, as if he hadn't heard Mike's words.
"You should go check on the kids, and Makayla." Mike raised his voice.
Elijah finally reacted, replying, "Mm."
As he reached the door, Mike sighed, "You're planning on taking the gun back? Elijah, Violette will be
fine. She's so tough, she won't go down unless she sees Silver King drop dead with her own eyes." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Elijah finally set the gun on the table and strode out of the room.
......
Violette's villa in B Country was located in the wealthy district downtown. She chose this place, not to
flaunt her wealth, but because it was safe.
Elijah was stopped at the entrance of the community. He called Mike, who then called Ian.
After 15 minutes, Ian came to the entrance with Rita. Elijah felt a wave of complex emotions. If Violette
was truly gone, what would he do with these two kids? He would, of course, take care of them, but
without Violette, they might not accept him.
"Ian, he looks so sad." Rita whispered to Ian as they watched Elijah from afar. Ian's heart raced. Was
Elijah like this because something had happened to their mom?
Yesterday in the hospital, Ian and Rita had not seen Adrian's state. But when Makayla came back, she
detailed Adrian's condition. Ian had a nightmare last night, dreaming that their mom had passed away.
Rita had the same dream, and they held each other crying through the night.
After Ian let Elijah in, Rita asked him in tears, "Where's mom? Didn't you go to save her? Why hasn't
she come back?"
Elijah didn't know how to answer her.
Ian couldn't stand the silence, nervously asking, "Did something happen to my mom?"
"Where's Makayla?" Elijah asked after changing shoes.
"Makayla went to the hospital to see Adrian." Elisa replied. "I had a bodyguard take her. I stayed to look
after the kids."
Elijah nodded.
