Without Elena, there was no point anymore.
Every time I closed my eyes, I’d recall my dream of Elena’s cries for help and the deafening explosion that took her away from me.
I wondered countless times if I could’ve saved Harlan and Elena if I had gone downstairs sooner. At the very least, I could’ve at least stayed by their side and held my dear daughter when all hell broke loose.
Ivy, who had been silent this whole time, suddenly asked, “Honey, are you okay?”
I didn’t answer. I didn’t have the strength to.
But what she said next gave me hope.
“I think Elena and Harlan are still alive. You were just too weak to notice it before.”
I was stunned.
What did she mean?
Just then, I sensed Harlan’s existence through our mind Link.
He said in a soothing voice, “Debra, don’t worry. Elena and I are fine.”
At this moment, I really felt that Harlan’s voice was the most beautiful music to my ears.
Caleb’s POV:
“Caleb, my daughter was in the car, too!”
Debra’s enraged, desperate words were like a knife to my heart.
I was shell-shocked. At the same time, I felt so much guilt and regret.
Oh, my God! Why the hell did I say what I said just now? I was a fucking idiot.
I just told Debra that Harlan’s body was burned to ashes. I had said those words out of anger, but I didn’t expect that Debra’s daughter had also suffered this cruel fate.
Debra was a mother grieving the death of her child!
I was such a fucking jerk!
But I had never thought of hurting that child, or any child for that matter. Although I was sad that Debra betrayed me, I shouldn’t have said those things about her innocent child.
At that moment, I found myself hoping that this was all just a farce- another one of Debra’s schemes. But when I saw the raw emotion in
Debra’s eyes, I knew that her daughter truly was in that car when it exploded.
“I’m sorry.”
