Chapter 1912
She groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground.
The scene stunned everyone.
Caleb was the first to recover, quickly pulling Dylan into the safety of the car and holding him close.
Carlos and Cristina attended to Alexandria, with Cristina pressing her hands against the bleeding wound, her cries filling the air.
After pausing for a while, Cory rushed over to help.
Mae, realizing her plan had failed, turned to flee.
However, she hadn’t gone far when a bullet struck her chest.
A loud bang echoed as Mae fell to the ground.
The gunshot made Dylan tremble with fear.
He curled up in Caleb’s arms, on the verge of tears.
Caleb instructed the driver, “Go back to the manor!”
As the car engine roared to life, Caleb lowered the window to address Carlos, who was holding a bloodied Alexandria.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’ll leave this mess to you.
”
Carlos, struggling to contain his grief, nodded firmly.
“Understood.
Don’t worry, I will handle it.
”
Caleb offered Carlos a meaningful look, then turned his attention back to Dylan, ensuring the boy felt safe as we sped away from the chaos.
After returning to the manor, Dylan was visibly shaken and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Caleb settled Dylan in his room.
I stood beside the bed, tears streaming down my face as I watched over him.
Caleb wasted no time in summoning the family doctor to check on Dylan.
After a thorough examination, the doctor offered a reassuring smile.
“There’s no need to worry.
Dylan is just deeply frightened, which caused him to faint.
A few days of rest, and he should recover fully.
”
Relief washed over me, and I nodded through my tears, grateful that Dylan was unharmed.
Once the doctor had departed, Caleb drew me into a gentle embrace.
“It’s all right now,” he whispered soothingly.
“It’s over.
No one will hurt you or the kids ever again.
”
I responded only by leaning into him, letting my silent tears flow.
Three days later, Dylan seemed physically recovered, yet he was subdued and frequently woke up crying from troubled sleep.
During this time, I stayed constantly by Dylan’s side, with Caleb also remaining close to home, only stepping out for essential work.
