It had been seven or eight days. What could have prompted him to suddenly snatch Isabel?
They had all been staying at the villa, not causing any trouble.
Richard reassured her and then made some inquiries.
Penetrating the Grey Zone was no easy feat.
He wasn’t able to gather much intelligence.
“All I heard is that they’ve sent a lot of people out. The Grey Zone is in chaos. It seems they’ve lost something and are looking for it.”
Evelyn immediately thought of Selena. Right now, the only thing that could matter this much to Adrian was Selena.
And only Selena’s disappearance would warrant such a massive response.
“Mrs. Richard,” the family doctor said after his examination, “the young master has no serious injuries. He has a bruise on his back from the impact. I’ve prescribed an ointment. Apply it twice a day, and it should heal on its own.”
Evelyn saw the doctor out, then hugged Edmund tightly. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay with you.”
Martha was on vacation and hadn’t been around for the past few days.
Fortunately, Evelyn knew how to cook a few simple meals.
But Edmund spent most of his time in the lab, working on something mysterious.
Until one day, he asked her, “Auntie, can you find a way to get me to the Grey Zone?”
*
Isabel was taken to the Grey Zone.
She didn’t struggle, allowing Adrian to lead her into a bedroom decorated in dark shades of black and gray.
Even in broad daylight, the room felt chillingly cold.
He threw her onto the bed.
