Chapter 192: Rayssa Regains ClarityRayssa, meanwhile, was showing improvement every day, but she was quiet, not speaking much, even though Elizabeth and the twins were anxious. All she did was sit quietly, leaving the three anxious and apprehensive, thinking she had regressed.A week passed, and the twins continued to deceive Taylor; in the Leblanc Mansion, Richard began to visit Coralie more often, thinking that maybe that woman was the hope he needed to find Elizabeth."She doesn't move..." Jayden lamented as he entered the room and saw Richard near the bed, observing her."She doesn't find strength or reason to. If I were rejected by my son... I wouldn't have the strength either. But she will have to wake up; I won't let her die. It's been too long since Elizabeth has been away. It's crazy not to know how she's doing, how her pregnancy is progressing. After those photos, nothing else was sent.""Let's hope she's okay.""You can be sure, sir." Jayden asserted, staring at Coralie. "

Chapter 194: Discovery of a PlanEmma returned to her room, thoughtful. She didn't know if she should go back, and she didn't know if her father was telling the truth. Therefore, she wanted to try to talk to Taylor, but his number was always inactive."Where have you been?" Mouret asked, still wrapped in a towel as he dried his hair with the other hand."I wanted to call my father, so I went to the reception," she recounted fearlessly. He just sighed impatiently."I told you not to do that.""What are you going to do? Keep me locked up here as you've been doing?" Emma retorted."Emma... I haven't been keeping you locked up; I've just been preventing you from having access to things that would make you suffer. And now you're restless, forgetting the pains you were feeling when you left your father's house. The doctor said it was due to stress and that it could even compromise the pregnancy. I just wanted you to be in a calmer place.""And what if I want to go back?" she asked, swallowi

Chapter 196: A White and Empty RoomElizabeth was taken to the upper floor of that place. There was no decoration or cozy atmosphere; it seemed like one of those extremely clean and empty places made for people with disorders, disturbingly white and gray. Taylor led her to a large metal door, and as he opened it, he saw the three still lying on the floor, unconscious.She got up and, with the little strength she had, fell to her knees next to the girls."What's wrong with them?""Just the same as you. It seems you're stronger. As I said, the effect can last up to half a day, but I was unlucky. You woke up so quickly," he grumbled displeased."Liz..." one of the girls mumbled, trying to get up. "What happened?" she asked, looking around."You..." Liz began to cry, still on her knees, keeping her head low in frustration for not being able to get out of there. For a moment, she touched her hand to her belly as tears fell to the ground."I hate you so much," she asserted as Taylor remaine

Chapter 198: A Hope, An AfflictionThe early hours stretched on as Richard remained awake, anxious for Coralie to wake up and reveal the exact location. There were only two people awake now, after security Mouret fell asleep on the couch. Emma got up and began to wander down the corridor, heading to Coralie's room, where Richard was still tirelessly standing, keeping watch like a security guard."Coralie?" Richard called her in his calm voice. Emma observed in silence. She smiled skeptically, after all, how could she wake up?"Taylor..." Emma heard the weak voice and her hands trembled. She approached the door, trying to listen."I knew you would wake up, but I don't have much time. There are certain words I don't usually say, and one of them..." he swallowed hard, then knelt down, showing despair. "I need your help, so... I know I'm asking a lot, but consider it as the first time someone really needs you..." he confessed quietly.He kept his head down, still kneeling on the floor. Co

Chapter 200: The Truth.There was regret on his face, but there was nowhere to run. Alfred had left home even when Taylor warned him that he was going out with Elizabeth, but he didn't expect to find Richard there."What's going on?" Richard and Rayssa asked, the latter showing fear upon seeing her own grandfather."It was..." murmured Alfred, pointing a trembling finger in his grandfather's direction. "It was him who kept me here all this time!" he shouted in panic."What do you mean?" asked Richard, confused."This man, he's the one who kept us captive for as long as we can remember," the twins explained.Richard walked toward his grandfather, still in shock, as all the unanswered memories came flooding back. His father lying comatose in bed, when he tried to take Aurora from his hands, declaring him unfit, among a thousand and one things without a clear answer, it seemed like the answer was now right in front of him."Was it really you?" Richard asked, hoping his grandfather had ju
