Before Cory could react, Alexandria snatched Dn from him with a stern expression and snapped, “What took you so long? I’ve been waiting forever!”


    Cory, taken aback, stammered an apology.


    “I’m sorry.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    It’s all my fault.


    Please, don’t be upset.


    What’s your n now? I’m here to help.


    ”


    With a dismissive nce, Alexandria rebuked him.


    “Shut up.


    Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.


    ”


    With that, she led Dn towards the other side of the car, nning to hand him over to me and Caleb safely.


    My heart raced with excitement, nearly leaping from my chest as I prepared to open the door.


    Just then, Mae, who had been quiet until now, suddenly reached out and blocked Alexandria and Dn’s path.


    Mae asked sharply, “Where are you taking the child?”


    At that, I tensed immediately.


    My jaw clenched so tightly I thought my teeth might crack.


    I was on the verge of flinging the door open and grabbing Dn myself, but Caleb held me firmly around the waist, immobilizing me.


    I squirmed in his grasp, desperate to break free, but Caleb’s hold was unyielding.


    Tears welled up in my eyes from the frustration and anxiety.


    Caleb whispered in my ear, “I know you’re worried about Dn, but you mustn’t act rashly.


    If you confront Cory and Mae now, it could provoke them.


    If they sense their n is failing and be desperate, they might harm Dn in ast-ditch effort.


    ”


    Although I knew Caleb was right, the thought of watching harme to Dn was unbearable.


    The notion that he could be whisked away by these people right before my eyes was too much to bear.


    Caleb soothed me, his hand gently patting my back.


    “Don’t worry.


    We have bodyguards positioned nearby.


    If they try anything, they won’tst a second.


    I’ve held them back to avoid rming Dn.


    ”


    His reassurances gradually eased my panic.


    I took a deep breath, nodded, and managed a tearful whisper.


    “Okay, I’ll stay calm.


    I trust you.


    Dn will be safe.


    ”


    Outside the car window, Alexandria brushed off Mae’s arm and barked disdainfully, “Move aside.


    How dare a mere servanty hands on me? You’re out of line.


    ”


    Mae’s face flushed with anger at the insult.


    Yet before Mae could respond, Alexandria fixed Cory with amanding look,pelling him to step in front of Mae and block her.


    With a scornfulugh, Alexandria arrogantly led Dn around to the other side of the car.


    Debra’s POV:


    As Alexandria and Dn approached the back door of the car, my excitement spilled over into tears.


    Caleb opened the door, ready to usher Dn inside.


    Just as the door swung open, Mae sensed something amiss and hurled a sharp scalpel towards Dn.


    My heart nearly stopped as I caught sight of the glinting de through the window.


    Caleb reacted swiftly, reaching out to shield Dn.


    But the sudden danger froze Dn in his tracks.


    Caleb’s attempt wasn’t quick enough.


    As the scalpel flew towards Dn’s back, Alexandria instinctively stepped in front of him, taking the hit herself.
