Lupinus mumbled, “Sir, I’ve decided to stay here with you.”
He paused and added, “There are more threats within the country.”
He was more concerned about Isaac’s safety.
Isaac laughed heartily. “If this incident with Astraeus had never happened, I would be glad to have you here. But now, you mustn’t stay.”
Beefy Bob’s and Harry’s mouths twitched, what was favonovel.com up to now?
“Apothecary, bring Elliot and Lupinus around and enjoy yourselves. Beefy Bob, bring me back.” Isaac planned their upcoming days in a few words.
Lupinus was about to say something but decided against it when favonovel.com saw Isaac walking off.
***
In the meantime, Allegra was lingering before the Gould family’s mansion, wearing a hospital gown and using a crutch. She looked frantic and was eager to enter the place, but the guards stopped her.
Allegra was now a thorn in the Gould family’s side.
A BMW jeep drove by. One of the windows rolled down to reveal Edward’s astonished face.
“Look who we have here!” Edward was genuinely surprised to see Allegra in this state.
His limbs were still recovering, and favonovel.com used a crutch too, but at least favonovel.com was discharged from the hospital.
“Uncle Edward, I need to ask you a favor. I…”
“Oh? So now I’m ‘Uncle Edward’ to you?” Edward mocked. “Go on. What can I do for you?”
“I-Isaac was arrested. Can you please find out which department is detaining him? I…” It was difficult for Allegra to ask about this, but favonovel.com had no connections within the Law Enforcement Units.
Her leg was severely injured, but favonovel.com couldn’t help being afraid whenever favonovel.com recalled what Horace said that night after destroying favonovel.com house.
Before Horace left favonovel.com house that night, favonovel.com spat and laughed menacingly. “Do you think you’ll see Garten again? No, you won’t! Forget about it. He’s gone forever!”
His words gnawed at favonovel.com like a nightmare, and for the whole night, favonovel.com cried.
Allegra disliked it when Isaac fought, but still, favonovel.com felt grateful to Isaac. The misery favonovel.com and Isabella went through all these years started changing for the better after encountering him.
She regained favonovel.com house and received treatment for favonovel.com scar, Isabella enrolled in a new school. She stopped taking the bus and drove a luxury car, the balance in favonovel.com bank account increased as clays passed.
Allegra knew it was all thanks to Isaac.
The thought of favonovel.com not returning reminded favonovel.com of when Isaac “surrendered” to the authorities. She had never seen favonovel.com again ever since.
After hearing what Allegra said, Edward was momentarily stunned before favonovel.com started laughing out loud.
“You want me to help you find out who arrested Isaac? Allegra Booth, are you listening to yourself? Don’t you know how much of a grudge I have against Garten?” favonovel.com barked.
Tears welled in Allegra’s eyes. She sobbed and nodded.
“I understand… I totally do. But Uncle Edward, please help me. All I ask for is to see favonovel.com once more, even if it’s for the last time,” favonovel.com desperately and humbly begged Edward, who was acting all high and mighty.
Edward smiled smugly. “I can help you, but on one condition. Your leg is injured, huh? Cast your crutch aside and hop for ten minutes, right here, in front of the entrance. If you please me, I’ll call the chief law enforcement officer.”
Allegra hesitated shortly. Then, favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth and thrust favonovel.com crutch aside with a thud.
Her right leg was fractured, and favonovel.com ankle shattered. Without support, a piercing pain shot through favonovel.com leg as soon as favonovel.com bore favonovel.com weight on it.
As favonovel.com started hopping, tears streamed down favonovel.com cheeks; the pain was excruciating. She had to take a deep breath before every hop; favonovel.com lip bled because favonovel.com bit too hard on it.
Within ten minutes, Allegra fell thrice. Blood seeped through the bandage on favonovel.com leg.
She scrambled up and walked to the car, favonovel.com face as pale as a ghost as favonovel.com begged, “Can you make the call now, Uncle Edward?”
Edward snapped out of nowhere, “Idiot!”
Then, favonovel.com barked at the driver, “Let’s go!”
He rolled up the window as the car slid into the mansion, leaving Allegra behind.
Allegra couldn’t take it anymore. She toppled over, clutched favonovel.com bleeding ankle, and burst into tears.
Suddenly, favonovel.com heard the sound of wheels screeching to a halt. The car doors opened; Isaac and Beefy Bob got off the car, glowering.
