Chapter 515
James could sense the gravity of the situation. His voice dropped an octave. "Don''t panic, I''m on my way back right now. Hang
tight, and don''t be scared.”
With that, James whipped out his phone and dialed Magnus, "Magnus, Vivian''s gone missing, Ang''s a mess at home, and |
need to fly back ASAP!"
Magnus, taken aback by the news, quickly agreed, "Go back home, James, and watch your back, okay?"
James fired up the ne''s engines and swung it around, setting a direct course for the UK.
Meanwhile, under Magnus'' leadership, the rest of the crew continued scouring the ocean for any signs of Jonas, but from dawn
to dusk, there was no trace of him to be found.
Night fell swiftly, and Magnus reluctantly ordered a pause in the search, anchoring the boat near the shore. He set up a
makeshift tent on the beach for Natalia to rest in. After settling everything, Magnus offered some food to Natalia. "Please eat
something, baby. You haven''t had a bite all day."
Natalia''s eyes, swollen from crying, resembled peaches as she sniffled and shook her head. "I can''t eat a thing.”
Magnus sighed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and walking her along the shoreline. "Honey, | know you''re worried
about Jonas, but you need to keep your strength up. Trust me, he''s probably stranded on some islet, waiting for us to rescue
him. We''ll ramp up the search tomorrow."
Natalia nodded weakly, leaning on Magnus, her gaze lifting to the vast expanse of stars. "Honey, we''ve already lost our daughter.
If we lose Jonas too, | don''t see any reason to go on."
Magnus clutched her cold hand tightly and ced it against his chest in a solemn promise. "Darling, believe me, our son will be
fine! No matter the cost, I''ll bring him back."
Natalia nodded slightly, her exhaustion taking over as she drifted to sleep against Magnus. The day''s events had left her utterly
fatigued. Magnus turned to see the weariness on Natalia''s delicate features and felt a pang of heartache. He gently brushed a
strand of hair from her ear and held her close, staring out into the unfathomable sea.
“Jonas, | believe you''ll make it back alive!”
Oakwood Manor.
In the dank dungeon, the stench was overwhelming. Jonas had been thrown in there by a vengeful Johanson.
The filthy water reached his waist, clinging to him with a nauseating slickness, while iron shackles bound his wrists with a chilling
grip.
Jonas struggled several times, but the chains held fast. He sighed in resignation, his gaze drawn to the sliver of moonlight
seeping through the window, wondering how long Johanson would keep him there.
In a moment of desperation, he had confronted Johanson in front of everyone, and to his own surprise, he had won. But now, he
was paying the price for his rashness.
Gazing at the ethereal moonlight, Jonas thought of his mother’s tender gaze. She must''ve known by now that he was missing.
How heartbroken she must be?
“Mum, don''t be sad, don''t worry. | am okay, and I''ll be back with you soon,” he whispered silently, his thoughts lost in the
reflection of the moon on the water.
As the night wore on, Annay restless in her princess bed, tormented by nightmares. She had witnessed Johanson and the
mysterious boy fight over leaving the estate, and after Johanson’s defeat, she saw him lock the boy in the dungeon. Anna didn''t
understand why, but she feltpelled to see the boy, a desire Johanson sharply denied.
He warned her to stay away from that violent and dangerous boy. Although Anna had only seen him once, dirty and disheveled,
she didn''t believe he was as bad as Johanson imed. She even felt pity for him—adrift for unknown reasons, then imprisoned
for wanting freedom.
Although Anna had never been locked in the dungeon herself, Johanson had shown it to her. He had pressed a remote, and the
door had swung open.
Johanson had said that wrongdoers were thrown into the water to soak until their bones softened and were denied food for three
days. She feared that by the end of those three days, the boy would be half-dead.

Cowed by Johanson’s fury, Anna stayed silent, her concern for the boy growing. Now, even in her sleep, her thoughts lingered on
the boy''s plight.
In her dream, she arrived at a ce filled with fog everywhere, unable to see any direction. Even the road under her feet was

Seeing this scene in the mist, Anna couldn''t help but cry, feelings sad for the boy''s experience, but she couldn''t do anything
herself.
Tears streamed down her face. She couldn''t help but sob, then she realized she was lying in bed, and the scene just now was
just a dream.
Anna hurriedly wiped her face, found it wet and cold. Turns out she really cried.
