Eliza gave him an indifferent look. “Then you should contact them.” Ethan took out his phone. He remembered that he saved the Valentine family’s number, but he only found Elias’s number on the phone. He frowned and thought for a while. Elias could do for now. After all, they were all from the Valentine family. Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the room and dialed Elias’s number in the corridor.
……
At the central hospital of Krine. After being unconscious for an entire night, Beau finally woke up. When he woke up, it was early in the morning. It was quiet everywhere.
There were two beds in the ward. He was the one lying on one bed, and three little children were lying on the other bed. Looking at the three of them sleeping together, he sighed helplessly. He didn’t want to disturb them, so he struggled to walk out of the ward with a cane. “Sir!” Noah had been sitting on a bench in the corridor taking a nap. Seeing Beau come out, he jumped up directly. Beau gestured at him to keep quiet. Noah glanced back at the three little children who were still sleeping in the ward. In silence, he lowered his voice and said, “They’ve been waiting for you for an entire day and night. They’re very tired.” After that, he quickly supported Beau’s body. “When did you wake up? How do you feel now?” “I’m fine.” With the help of Noah, Beau carefully sat down on the bench. “Is there any news about her?” Beau’s question silenced Noah instantly. After a long time, he sighed. “No.” “We have searched all the airports and stations in Krine.” “We’ve searched every corner of the surveillance footage. We can’t find any trace of her leaving the city.” “But she’s definitely no longer in Krine.” “We have also searched the domestic cities, but we haven’t found the entry record of Madam…” Noah carefully looked at Julian’s face. “So… do you want to use the manpower from Puskia…” Beau closed his eyes and said, “Search for another day in the country, if you can’t find her, then start there.” Noah nodded. “Alright.” After talking about searching for Eliza, Noah was silent for a while. “What about Lucija?” “We locked her up after
Madam caught her. She has been locked up for several days now.” “Elias came to see you yesterday. It looked like he wanted to plead for leniency..” Beau rubbed his forehead. “Lock her up first.” “When she comes back… let her handle it herself.” Eliza was the one who was hurt by Lucija. The one she was sorry to was also Eliza. It was even Eliza who captured her. Even though Eliza wasn’t in Krine right now, he believed that she would return sooner or later.
“Beau.”
At this time, a man’s deep voice could be heard at the end of the corridor. Beau raised his head. On the other end was Elias’s smiling eyes. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright. Elias was wearing windbreaker, carrying fruit baskets and flowers as he walked towards him. Beau narrowed his eyes. Six years ago, after the fire, Elias came to the hospital to see him. “Don’t worry. We’ve buried the children’s mother well.” “You have tried your best. Don’t blame yourself too much.” “From now on, you should live well with the children.” Back then, the words that Elias had said in front of his bed seemed to still linger in his ears. In the past, he felt estranged from his elder brother and Elias was the one who truly loved him. He believed it and regarded him as his closest family member. But now. He looked at Elias walking towards him with mocking eyes. Elias clearly knew everything. Back then, he told Beau that he had found Chasity, the girl he had accidentally slept with and was pregnant with. He was also the one who said that he would bury Chasity’s body well. But in the end… Five years later, when Elias saw Eliza standing beside him, he chose to remain silent. While Eliza was desperately searching for Chasity, who did not exist, he was still silent as he secretly helped Lucija.
The brother that he thought was closest to him had only been protecting Lucija from beginning to end. “Beau.” Elias stood in front of Beau and looked at him with concern. “How are you feeling?” “About Eliza’s disappearance, I also asked my friend working in the police station to help me investigate…” “Are you worried about her?” Beau raised his eyes and swept them coldly across Elias’s face. “You must want her to never
come back?” His words made Elias silent for a moment. Then, he smiled gently. “I know that you’re in a bad mood because of Eliza’s disappearance.” “But I am indeed worried for her and for you.” Beau snorted coldly. “You’re worried about Lucija, aren’t you?” Having his worries exposed, Elias curled his lips and turned around to sit down on the bench next to Beau. “I’m willing to apologize for the mistakes Lucija has done.” “She’s just too willful…” Beau narrowed his eyes. He turned to look at Elias and then looked forward. “You can teach her if she is capricious the first time. You can also cover for her mistakes the second time. But what about the third time?” “During the first time, Lucija approached Eliza to be a surrogate mother and tried to plot against me.” “The second time, she set a fire during my first encounter with Eliza.” “She hired a killer on purpose and planned to kill Eliza when she was filming in the village. It was the third time.” After that, Beau turned to look at Elias again. “Is there no bottom line for you to cover-up for her?” “But I’m sorry, I have a bottom line.” “I don’t know what she did to Eliza the first two times.” “If I knew, I wouldn’t let her live to do it the third time!” His words made Elias’s face turn slightly pale. “There are indeed many things that Lucija did wrong…” Elias closed his eyes. “I didn’t teach her well.” At that time, he only mentioned one sentence in front of Lucija, “If you marry Beau, then my plan can proceed a lot faster.” Because of this sentence, Lucija became what she was now. She had always wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and become his right-hand man. He always knew. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Thinking of this, Elias sighed. “Beau, I’m not here to quarrel with you.” “I came here to make a deal with you.” Beau frowned and turned to stare at him coldly, not saying a word. The atmosphere in the corridor was quiet. Elias coughed lightly. “I’ve found Eliza’s whereabouts.” “But as an exchange, I hope you can release Lucija and let me take her away.”
