Semua Bab The Agent's Blood: The Bodyguard's Legacy: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Elena felt as if her feet were floating, her steps weightless and her mind a complete blank. The only thing she could see was Noah's face. After so many years apart, after a long and agonizing search, she had been just a breath away from holding her son again. Yet, God had blocked her path, placing Dom squarely between her and Noah.The man had refused to grant Elena any access, not even a simple glimpse of her son.“Ma’am…” Emily sobbed softly, looking at Elena. She could feel the woman’s heart shattering after what had just happened.“What am I supposed to do now, Emily? My life is meaningless if I can’t hold Noah again,” Elena said. Her eyes stared blankly into the distance, her face cold and stiff from the tears that had long since dried.“Don’t give up, Ma’am! We have to keep trying to convince Mr. Dom to give you a chance to see Noah!” Emily said, wiping her own tears away as she held onto Elena, who seemed to be walking without a soul.Emily then guided Elena to a small stone b

“Hazel!”Hazel stopped and turned around.Bram was walking toward her. He stopped just a few steps away, and they stood facing each other.“Can I talk to you for a moment?” Bram asked.Hazel froze, but then she nodded. Bram gestured for Hazel to lead the way, and he followed a step behind her.The hospital cafeteria was quiet that night, with only a few nurses and staff members still there, finishing their shifts. Bram and Hazel headed to a quiet corner, away from the sparse foot traffic.“Here,” Bram said, pulling out a chair for her.Hazel would normally have been cold and proud, but her heart was too fragile at that moment. The small gesture of kindness felt deeply significant. It made her choke back a sob, and she began to cry silently.Bram turned away for a moment, walking to the counter to order drinks for them both. He gave her some space, and by the time he returned, Hazel had calmed down enough to take a sip of the warm, sweet tea he’d brought her.“What did you want to talk

Evander walked Elena to her room to rest, but they were both on edge. Alistair was watching them from a distance."Maybe you should come inside with me," Elena said as Evander was about to turn away at the threshold. "I don't want Father to get suspicious if we sleep in separate rooms."Evander froze, looking at her with uncertainty."I don't want to impose. It's alright if you're not comfortable with it. I can just sleep by the fireplace later," Evander said awkwardly.Elena watched him. He seemed clumsy and couldn't meet her gaze, even as they stood facing each other. She glanced over Evander's shoulder and saw Alistair smiling at them while chatting with Bram and Emily."Father is still watching us," Elena said, looking up at Evander. Their eyes met, only a few inches apart.Evander was silent, swallowing nervously."Aren't you going to do something?" Elena asked, her voice low.Stunned, Evander stared at her."I just don't want to make you angry again," he admitted frankly.Elena

"Who are you?" Evander asked the fair-skinned man and woman who appeared at the door.The two, who looked like a married couple, glanced at each other for a moment."We're the Stone family. Can we help you with something?" the man replied.Now it was Elena and Evander who exchanged a look. "Isn't this the Rhodes residence?" Elena asked in disbelief.The woman with blue eyes shook her head. "No. We've lived here for three years. Is there a problem?" she asked pointedly.Evander frowned. It was impossible that Rey had given him the wrong information. The young man wouldn't dare mess with him. His eyes carefully observed the couple's every move."What do we do now?" Elena said sadly, looking hopeless.Evander wrapped an arm around her shoulders to calm her. He then gave the couple a broad smile."Ah, yes, our apologies. It seems we have the wrong address. Excuse us," he said, gently pulling Elena away from the house.Elena started to protest, but Evander signaled for her to be quiet. It

Evander and Hazel returned, bringing Alice with them. Elena, who was initially startled to see Hazel again, quickly dismissed her presence. Her attention was now fixed on the woman they had brought with them."Who is she?" Elena asked as Evander approached and hugged her.Evander glanced at Alice, who sat with her head bowed."She is Noah's adoptive mother," he answered softly.Elena froze instantly, her face flushing as she held back tears. She walked over to Alice and knelt before her."What are you doing? Please, don't do this," Alice pleaded, sliding from the chair to sit on the floor, facing Elena.Evander and Hazel watched the scene in silence. Alistair and Emily, who had just entered, also fell quiet at the sight.With tears streaming down her face, Elena clasped her hands together, begging Alice."I know you are a good person. As mothers, we can understand each other," she said through her sobs. "I'm begging you, please give me back my son."Alice looked at her, crying. Elena
