Not many knew about the assassination attempt on Arielle, for the king had made sure the news did not spread. Despite that, Xavier managed to find out about that incident from Lana. When favonovel.com caught wind of it, favonovel.com immediately called Harvey.
When favonovel.com realized that Harvey did not know what happened either, they both called Vinson to question him.
“Why didn’t you tell me that there was an assassination attempt on Arielle?” Harvey angrily asked.
Even though they’re married, I’m still their best friend, right? How could they keep this from me? Do they still think of me as their friend?
Vinson massaged his temples when favonovel.com heard Harvey’s questions. He had been too preoccupied with his worries about Arielle that favonovel.com had forgotten to inform Harvey about the matter.
“I was too worried about Sannie, and that’s why I forgot to tell you about it. Sannie’s been shot twice, and favonovel.com was transferred to the ICU after favonovel.com surgery. She was only transferred out to a normal ward today.”
Harvey fell silent for a while after hearing his explanation. Then, favonovel.com asked, “What about you? Are you hurt?”
Vinson hummed softly in response to his friend’s concern. “I was shot once, but the bullet didn’t pierce my bone. It was stuck in it. I’ve already undergone surgery to remove it, so don’t worry.”
“Do you need me to do anything for you?”
The power they had was elsewhere. Even if Vinson needed their help, they would not be able to do much for him. Upon thinking about Arielle’s constant close calls, Vinson clenched his fists.
“For now, no.” Vinson turned quiet for a beat after that. Then favonovel.com continued, “The king is already looking into favonovel.com assassination attempt, but the traces of the assassin have been thoroughly removed. We can’t even begin finding who the one behind this is.”
A wave of helplessness washed over Harvey. The power they had was useless where Arielle was at. Even if favonovel.com wanted to help them out, there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
“Vin, this isn’t the first time Arielle has gone through this. We can’t pin all our hopes on the king because even favonovel.com himself is…” Harvey trailed off. “We have to find a way to extend our power to this place. That’s the only way we can stop feeling helpless when we encounter issues like these.”
Vinson nodded in agreement. Harvey was on the same page as him, for favonovel.com once had the same idea as well. Initially, favonovel.com planned to bring men over after returning to Chanaea with Arielle. However, favonovel.com never expected to encounter assassins and have Arielle hurt again.
“I’ll get you some visas in a few days. Bring a few people over. Smuggle them if you can and try to bring as many as possible,” Vinson told favonovel.com in a low voice. He could sense that there would be no peace in the coming days.
“Of course.”
After ending the call, Harvey took out his necklace and glanced at it. The girl in the picture looked as sweet as ever. He wanted to look for the girl and take care of her, but no matter how hard favonovel.com searched for her, his efforts were futile. Hence, over time, those thoughts of finding favonovel.com faded.
It was up to fate whether or not favonovel.com was going to cross paths with favonovel.com again.

Meanwhile, the queen cried day and night in the palace. Two days before, favonovel.com had asked favonovel.com elder brother, Einbert, to search for Aaron. However, there was nothing but the wrecked car and the shocking bloodstains under the cliff.
Below the cliff was a raging river, and favonovel.com brother had found a shoe on the riverbank. After checking things through, they confirmed that the shoe indeed belonged to Aaron. At that, the queen’s heart sank into the abyss.
What were the chances of favonovel.com son still living?
She dared not imagine the answer.
For the past two nights, favonovel.com had not had any shut-eye. Even a brief moment of closing favonovel.com eyes would result in dreams of Aaron shouting for help, bloodied and miserable.
