her into undergoing the operation. Since he had come this far, he would see his plan through to the end and not let
it fail as it was their only chance for survival.

Simply put, it was a race against time.“
Following everything that had transpired, Liam was pleased to see the police arrivng. He remained composed even
while the handcuffs were being slapped on his wrists. On the other hand, his wife was so anxious that she passed
out and his son was in a state of shock.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was preparing dinner for her son at home. He was so used to her cooking that she never
bothered to seek the assistance of the maids when preparing dinner. She lost focus while slicing carrots and
accidentally cut her finger. Looking at her bleeding finger, she hissed in pain as panic surged in her. It was not due

to stop the bleeding, which eventually stopped since it was not a deep cut. Still, she earnestly prayed for Elliot‘s safe
return.

Arthur dialed a number after downing two glasses. He waited patiently even though the receiver did not answer the

“Why are you taking so long to pick up the phone? Is it because of me? Do you not want to talk with me?” he
moaned.
“No. I was in the shower. What‘s the matter?” Sophia enquired.
“I‘ll be leaving tomorrow. Could you just come over? I‘d like to see you.”
“Huh? You‘re leaving?”
“Hmm. It‘s the earliest flight in the morning.”
“Then, I think it‘s best we don‘t meet up. I hope you‘ll have a safe flight.”
Arthur was disappointed because she had no intention of asking him to stay. She even wished him a safe flight!
