I found it funny.
It was unnecessary for Caleb to keep an eye on me, because I didnât want to escape at all.
Without Elena, there was no point anymore.
Every time I closed my eyes, Iâd recall my dream of Elenaâs cries for help and the deafening explosion that took her away from me.
I wondered countless times if I couldâve saved Harlan and Elena if I had gone downstairs sooner.
At the very least, I couldâve 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, âHoney, are you okay?â

I didnât answer.
I didnât have the strength to.
But what she said next gave me hope.
âI think Elena and Harlan are still alive.
You were just too weak to notice it before.
â
I was stunned.
What did she mean?
Just then, I sensed Harlanâs existence through our mind Link.
He said in a soothing voice, âDebra, donât worry.
Elena and I are fine.
â
At this moment, I really felt that Harlanâs voice was the most beautiful music to my ears.
Calebâs POV:
âCaleb, my daughter was in the car, too!â
Debraâs 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 f@cking idiot.
I just told Debra that Harlanâs body was burned to ashes.
I had said those words out of anger, but I didnât expect that Debraâs daughter had also suffered this cruel fate.
Debra was a mother grieving the death of her child!
I was such a f@cking 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 shouldnât 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 Debraâs schemes.
But when I saw the raw emotion in
Debraâs eyes, I knew that her daughter truly was in that car when it exploded.
âIâm sorry.
