Chapter 1985

Chapter 1985 Slow Down, Don’t Run Early in the morning outside the prison, it was drizzling.

Rosalie and Byron were quietly waiting in a Rolls-Royce until the big iron gates began to open slowly.

Yves was still in prison uniform when a middle-aged prison guard said, “Behave yourself after getting out and stop making mistakes!”

He nodded and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips. “I will, Mr. Zigler. Wait till I get myself a new job and I’ll come see you once I’ve earned some money. Thanks for always looking out for me.”

“What’s there to thank me for? Just don’t come back ever again. It’s bad luck! Just go…” The middle-

aged prison guard smiled.

Yves had always thought that no one would come to pick him up and did not pay attention to the Rolls-

Royce.

It was until Byron appeared while helping Rosalie out of the car that astonishment appeared on his face.

“You’re finally out, Yves Graham!” Byron smiled.

He had thought it would be a few more months before Yves would be released, but Yves’ sentence was shortened due to good behavior.

The look in Rosalie’s eyes was calm and gentle. She had let go of whatever that had happened. She nodded at Yves and said, “Hello, Mr. Yves Graham. Welcome back!”

Yves was surprised. He had never expected these two people would come to pick him up. What was even more astonishing was Rosalie’s willingness to give him another chance and even allowed him to return to the research institute.

Yves was emotional as he watched the scenery fly by him while he was in the car.

Byron had planned a huge lunch to welcome him back.

However, Yves politely declined. “I’ve gotten used to the light food in prison. I don’t think rich food would suit me right after I’ve gotten out. It will mess with my digestive system and give me pancreatitis.

That’s a serious illness that might kill me!”

Rosalie nodded too while Byron just smiled.

‘Thank you for picking me up. I’ll make sure to be at the research institute on time tomorrow. You can let me off at this address. Someone in prison asked for help to send word to a friend,” Yves said suddenly.

Byron and Rosalie nodded in agreement but reminded him to have a quick change of clothes. Walking in prison uniform on the streets would attract a lot of attention.

After sending off Yves, husband and wife returned to the car.

‘Too bad he can’t enjoy lunch. We’ll just enjoy it ourselves since I’ve already made reservations!” Byron suggested and was immediately met with support from Rosalie.

Outside the art school.

Byron and Rosalie had fun out for the entire afternoon before finally coming here to pick up the three rascals.

There was a huge crowd as school was out. Lucian and Nox stood on each side of Estie while holding onto her hands. They walked out of the school while making sure their little sister was safe.

Their daddy and mommy were here to pick them up and all three children were especially happy.

They were only more than ten feet away when they noticed their parents and quickened their footsteps.

“Slow down. Don’t run!” There were too many people around and Rosalie quickly called out to them.

Byron moved immediately and quickly went toward the children.

Just as he was getting near them, a few children suddenly went running toward Lucian and Nox.

The aim of those children was very clear. The moment they got near, they reached out and pushed Lucian Nox. Both children lost their footing and fell heavily to the ground.

Before they fell, Lucian and Nox immediately let go of their sister’s hand together to prevent her from falling with them.

When they fell to the ground, looks of pain appeared on Lucian and Nox’s faces. Their knees had been scratched by the cement floor and they bled from the wound.

“Lucian, Nox…” Estie shouted in fear.

The look in Byron’s eyes instantly got sharper as a cold, chilling flash reflected from them. He took a few wide strides and quickly appeared next to Lucian and Nox.

His eyes locked onto those children who were planning to make an escape.

Rosalie had also gone pale with shock from what happened and she immediately ran in the direction of where those children had run to.
