Chapter 546


    Mike buried his face in his hands, crying out, "I regret it so much. Why did I say those cruel words to


    herst 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 nced at the progress on theputer screen. "It''s almost done...


    definitely by tonight. My head hurts. What should I do if Violette really died?"


    Elijah dared not contemte 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 Maka." Mike raised his voice.


    Elijah finally reacted, replying, "Mm."


    As he reached the door, Mike sighed, "You''re nning 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."


    Elijah finally set the gun on the table and strode out of the room.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Violette''s vi in B Country was located in the wealthy district downtown. She chose this ce, not to


    unt her wealth, but because it was safe.


    Elijah was stopped at the entrance of themunity. He called Mike, who then called Ian.


    After 15 minutes, Ian came to the entrance with Rita. Elijah felt a wave ofplex 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 ept 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 Maka came back, she


    detailed Adrian''s condition. Ian had a nightmarest 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


    shee 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 Maka?" Elijah asked after changing shoes.


    "Maka went to the hospital to see Adrian." Elisa replied. "I had a bodyguard take her. I stayed to look


    after the kids."


    Elijah nodded.
