Chapter 661

“I didn’t know she has a sister.” Elia commented the moment she got inside a vacant room with Diana. “So, both of you are looking for the same people?”

“Yes. They’re our parents. She told me that you are good friends with Cayenne and Stefan.”

Elia smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheeks with faint smile gracing her lips. “I won’t say we’re close friends. We just happen to know each other and they trusted me about this thing. They didn’t tell me that they’re your parents, though. Anyway, I’m glad I can be of little help.”

“As much as I appreciate your help all this time, I am also worried for you. Nurse Elia – ”

“Elia. Just Elia please. We don’t have to be so formal around each other.” Elia commented to dispel the tense atmosphere around them. She didn’t want to add more tension to what she already felt.

“Elia. Alright. Let me be honest with you. Our family isn’t normal – like what you see in your neighborhood. We’re a little – ”

“I understand. It’s because of your wealth, right? I did some research and found some peculiar news surrounding your family.”

.....

Diana sighed helplessly as she sat on a chair and motioned for Elia to do the same. “I guess you have understood the nature of my family at some point. Since you have some knowledge about it, I’d like you to withdraw your involvement from this matter.”

“Why?”

“My sister must have mentioned to you that this matter is dangerous.”

“What’s dangerous about me administering their drugs and taking care of them?”

Diana didn’t know whether to commend her bravery or smack the woman’s face from being foolish. She was thankful – yes, but there’s no way she’d continue to put someone’s life in danger for her selfishness. Diana has changed after Cayenne’s kidnapping incident.

“Look, Cayenne will blame me if something bad happens to you.”

“We don’t have to tell her. I am no one important in their life.”

“But you are still important in someone’s life – your parents and relatives. Don’t be selfish.”

Elia only looked at Diana without saying anything. Few seconds later, she nodded her head in agreement. “I’ll let you deal with everything. I’ll just relay some information to you through text messages. We don’t have to meet again in the future.”

“Right. That’s better. So, tell me about what you see. I am good in composite drawing or I can show you more pictures of my parents to confirm.”

“Second option will save us more time.”

Diana took out her phone and showed Elia some pictures. When she looked at them, a deep frown appeared on her face. “Your parents, uh...they look very different to the people I met. Well, they’re old now and a little emaciated. At the same time, they hold resemblance to these two in the pictures. They don’t look like you, though.”

Diana and Artemis have been disguising themselves so it was natural that Elia would say they looked different compared to their parents.

“The man has resemblance with Cayenne if I must make some comparison. So, they must be really your parents.” Elia added after some time when she sensed that Diana has gone silent beside her. “Anyway, I’ll try my best to get some samples for you to conduct a DNA test for confirmation. At the same time, if you really believe that they are your parents, you should make preparations to escape.”

“Don’t worry about that. Just worry about yourself and make sure that no one will find out about this matter. Be careful of the people around you.”

“Hm. I’ll go back to work now. I’ve been away for too long. Some people will start to suspect me.”

“Okay. Thank you for your help.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The next day, the help they’ve been waiting for has finally come. Chris used his connections to bring several soldiers and mercenaries who can help with the escape plan that Diana proposed. Tristan already briefed everyone as to what they should do and Chris was willing to help to repay Cayenne and Stefan for being such a good friend to him and Rissy.

“I will be applying as a janitor during the operation. I already bribed several people inside the hospital. We only have one chance so make sure to do your job properly.” Chris told his colleagues who came along with him to help. As for the mercenaries, they have disguised themselves as well.

Diana received the confirmation from Tristan making her finally feel a sense of relief. “This is it. We can only hope that everything will go according to plan.”

“We will finally reunite with our parents.” Artemis stated emotionally. They have been longing for their parents who were absent most part of their lives and now, with Stefan’s help, they could see them in few days.

Meanwhile, Elia has gone to do her job once again. This time, she was very cautious when she got inside. To her surprise, the couple was sitting on a couch at the window without making any noise. They didn’t even turn their heads to look at her.

When she got close, she found out that the two of them were looking at Cayenne’s picture.

“I’ll give you the shots now.” Elia stated and opened the cap of the syringe. Instead of using the prescribed medicine, Elia has changed it to some painkiller instead.

“We trust you.”

The woman said and smiled.

“Get some rest and try to exercise as much as you can. Walking around the room will help. I’ll volunteer to bring your food later.”

Elia left as soon as she could after getting few strands of the couple’s hair in secret. When she got out, the guard checked her again and let her go after finding that she has nothing on her.

“I find her really suspicious. Follow her.” The head of the guards ordered through their bluetooth earpiece. One of the men left his station and secretly followed Elia. “It’s better to be safe than sorry. Remember, we are paid to guard this couple no matter what happens. They’re not allowed to leave this institution even if our employer dies.”

“Boss, what about our salary?” Someone asked. It never really occured to them that something will happen to their employer and they haven’t heard anything about the old Rule being caught. Their boss didn’t say anything to them.

“Someone else will be taking care of that. Just make sure that you are doing your job.”

“Yes, boss.”

Right! How could Jean Nikko Rule allow such mistake to happen. Even if he dies, even if he rots in jail, he will do everything to drag everyone to hell with him.

He won’t let anyone have their happy ending. If he suffers and so will everyone.
