Chapter 534


    The call dropped. She nced at the time. She wasn''t sure where he was right now. The airport was


    out in the sticks, if he was in the city, it would take him at least an hour to get there.


    Her flight was leaving in forty minutes. She couldn''t wait for him. If she missed this flight, the next one


    wouldn''t be until tomorrow morning. She didn''t have that kind of time.


    Mike noticed her pale face and took her cold hand. "Violette, don''t freak out. Whoever''s looking for you


    might need your help with some medical issue." Mike tried to reassure her, "Just try to buy some time,


    I''ll figure something out."


    "We need to save Adrian first," Violette said softly.


    "Right."


    "I''ve known Adrian for years, I''ve asked him for help so many times and he''s never turned me down.


    He’s always sharing good stuff with me. He''s never asked me for anything, never. Every time I invited


    him to dinner, he always picked up the tab. He''s like my brother." As Violette said this, tears started to


    fall, "He could have just given them my name and he wouldn''t have gotten hurt!"


    Mike''s eyes reddened slightly and he hugged her, "Don''t cry. Adrian will be fine."


    At Silverleaf Ridge, Violette and Mike''s departure had left the two kids feeling down. Mike told them

    they had to go handle some stuff in B Country, and they''d be back as soon as they could. But how long


    would ‘as soon as they could’ be?


    Also, the events of the night were too weird. Ian had no clue what was going on. He had a strong


    feeling something serious must have happened to make their mom so upset and leave in such a hurry!


    Mom had never just dropped everything and left him and his sister like she did tonight. Even Ian, who


    rarely cried, couldn''t hold back his tears.


    "Why are you crying? Do you miss mom?" Rita''s emotions, which had finally calmed down, were stirred


    up again by Ian’s tears, "Did mom abandon us? I''m scared!"


    Ian cleaned his tears and hugged his sister, "Don''t be scared, Rita. They''ll be back soon. I''ll protect you


    until they return."


    Rita cried into her brother''s chest for a while, her voice hoarse. "I want Maka toe stay with us.


    Can you call her?"


    Ian nodded.


    The night deepened, the neon lights of the city flickered, stunningly beautiful. The ck Rolls-Royce,


    like a phantom, raced through half the city at top speed to the airport. As soon as the car stopped,


    Elijah stepped out, phone in hand, and walked briskly towards the terminal.


    The announcement overhead said the flight to B Country was now boarding, directing passengers to


    gate 4.


    Violette stopped in her tracks. Mike, standing beside her, turned and saw Elijah, "Violette, Elijah''s here.


    Do you want to go talk to him?"


    Violette’s eyes welled up with tears.
