Semua Bab There's No Turning Back: Bab 201 - Bab 210

"Ahhh!" Niamh screamed all the way down as she tumbled down the slope, her mouth filling with dust and sand.She landed in the bushes below while suspended mid-air by the ropes. Leonard's subordinates secured the rope, ensuring that with her hands restrained, she wouldn't be able to climb back up.Then, they handed a pair of safety harnesses—one large, one small—to Harvey and Beau, instructing them to put them on themselves."Prof. Fisher said that only by making the perpetrators experience exactly what their victims went through can they truly understand what should and shouldn't be done."He also said, since you failed to educate your child properly, he will personally teach both of you how to behave."Harvey's expression darkened. Grabbing the back of Beau's collar, he slid down the slope with him."Wah! Daddy, I'm scared!" Beau clung to him while wailing.Harvey scolded him sharply, "Be a man! Toughen up! Just stop crying!"…On the way back to camp, Elara noticed that Fin

Finnegan stood stiffly, like a Doberman on high alert.Elara climbed into the car, her voice soft and sweet as she asked, "Xav, can I carry you?"Still half-asleep, Xavier instinctively leaned toward her. He nestled into Elara's embrace, and she gently lifted him out of the car.As he rested against her shoulder, he inhaled the light, comforting scent clinging to her. His half-lidded eyes fluttered, and he instinctively wrapped his small arms around her neck, seeking warmth.The household staff arrived to greet them, but when they saw Elara carrying Xavier, their eyes widened in shock. Xavier avoided people and refused physical contact with anyone. Even with Leonard, the person closest to him, he often remained unresponsive.Seeing how he was willing to be held by Elara, could this mean his autism was improving?"Is Mr. Xavier asleep? Would you like me to carry him?" one of the staff offered.Elara shook her head. "No need. He's awake, but his body hasn't fully caught up yet."

In the drawing, only the queen's expression was sorrowful. Xavier pushed out another picture.This time, he had used crayons to sketch the queen in a pink dress holding her daughter's hand as they left the castle. But in this picture, the queen's face was bright with happiness.Elara then picked up the third drawing Xavier handed her.In this one, the queen and her daughter encountered another king. The king stood beside a young boy and was holding out a diamond ring, proposing to the queen.A soft rustling sound came from behind the door as Xavier slid out a fifth drawing. This time, the queen had formed a new family with the king, along with their children. However, her face was blank, lost in confusion.Xavier had a gift for drawing. With just a few simple strokes, he captured expressions so vividly that they felt deeply real.Elara sat on the floor, leaning against the door. In her hands were Xavier's five drawings, along with the note that read: "I don't want you to be my mo

Harold was just a university professor, a mere sponsored scholar of Ohm Technologies, yet he wielded such influence over their executives.Leonard picked up his phone and issued a command to his subordinates without a change in expression. "Keep a close watch on all of Harold Judd's movements."Meanwhile, Harold, who was still on the call, chuckled and said to Elara, "If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a nice meal."Elara responded smoothly, "Once everything is settled, I will make sure to reward you properly, Mr. Judd. But for now, to avoid any unnecessary speculation, it's best if we limit our contact."Harold, on the other end, readily agreed. "Of course. Once the news gets out that you're in charge of the acquisition, even Mr. Fisher will be keeping an eye on you. You'll need to be extra careful."Then, as if seeking justice on her behalf, he added, "Harvey Fisher is such an absolute scumbag! And that little brat Beau…"Just watching the way those two treated yo

"Har..."Niamh knew exactly what that long, slithering thing around her neck was. But no matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn't see it clearly.A suffocating terror gripped her, making it nearly impossible to speak. "Mmmph!"Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed, unconscious. Surveillance cameras covered the slope above them. After carefully weighing his options, Harvey made the decision to bring Beau back down to the bottom of the slope.At dawn the next morning, Harvey finally took Beau and Niamh to the hospital. The slope had been crawling with insects. Harvey's face and neck were covered in swollen bites, and some bugs had even gotten inside his collar, leaving red welts on his chest.Beau had broken out in a full-body rash, but Niamh had it the worst. After passing out at the bottom of the slope, her eyelids had swollen shut from insect bites. When she woke up and realized she couldn't open her eyes, she panicked as she was convinced she had gone blind.
