Hearing rumors that he might be a murderer, Elysia was petrified.
Hearing that Winona might have never left the country and was out of touch, she was scared out of her wits.
Nearly getting hit by a car while crossing the street had her heart racing.
Receiving a call from the police in the midst of a fever, claiming they found Elliot’s fingerprints at a crime scene and accusing her of attempted murder she was terrified.
But all these fears combined paled in comparison to the moment she saw that man standing at the doorstep. She almost choked on her breath!
Only a door separated him from Elliot and Evan, not even six feet apart!
It was a close call, way too close…
Had Elliot and Evan been discovered by him, what could she possibly do to compete?
The mere thought of possibly losing Elliot and Evan to him, never seeing them again, brought tears streaming down her face.
Her heart ached with worry.
Worrying about her children being taken away, she felt miserable. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Worrying about Winona’s safety, she was distressed.
Worrying about meddling further with Elijah, fearing for her and her children’s safety, she was distressed.
And worrying about what might happen to Elijah if she didn’t intervene… It pained her!
Elijah might not have been her responsibility, but he was just a kid, and she couldn’t stand the thought of him coming to harm.
Elysia cried, and her three little ones panicked.
Elliot reassured her, “Mommy, don’t be afraid, no one can hurt us!”
Evan pleaded, “Mommy, please don’t cry. I–I–I… I won’t wander off anymore. I’ll listen to everything you say. If you tell me to stay home, I’l
stay.
If
you tell me to go to bed, I’ll sleep. Whatever you say, goes, okay?”
Emmett sobbed, “Mommy, please don’t cry…”

Standing at the bedroom door, Blossom couldn’t hold back her tears either. She understood Elysia’s turmoil and helplessness, her fears, her hesitations, and her sorrow.
She felt for Elysia.
The sound of knocking suddenly broke the silence.
Blossom quickly wiped away her tears and glanced towards the door. “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Zane.”
Blossom hesitated, not rushing to open the door, but instead turned to Elysia, “Elysia, Zane is here.”
Upon hearing that, Elysia frowned immediately. She remembered Callum’s words and thought of Winona.
Though it was still uncertain if Zane was lying, as a husband, he bore responsibility if anything had happened to Winona!
Elysia calmed herself, momentarily putting aside all other concerns to dry her tears and reassure her little ones, “I’m not blaming you
guys. I was just a bit scared because the police showed up unexpectedly. But everything has been cleared up now, and I feel better.”
Elysia tenderly kissed each of their faces and playfully pinched their cheeks.
“Let’s not dwell on the past. I’m going to greet a friend now. You three play here.”
“Okay.”
Elysia left the bedroom, making sure to close the door behind her.
“You can open the door. I’ll go freshen up.”
“Alright.” Blossom then went to open the door, welcoming Zane inside. “What brings you here all of a sudden?”
Zane, holding a breakfast bag, said, “just happened to be passing by and thought you guys might still be home since it’s early. I tried calling, but no one answered, so I came up. Hope I’m not intruding.”
Blossom, unaware of Winona’s situation, shook her head. “Not at all, come on in.”
She took the breakfast from him, inviting Zane to sit down.
As soon as Zane entered, he asked, “Where’s Elysia? Has she already left, or is she still asleep?”
