Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 269

Adrian locked Isabel back in the room.

When she was downstairs, she had managed to glance at the time.

Having lost all track of day and night, she was shocked to see that three days had already passed.

There was no more colored smoke coming from the Golden Tower.

She had no idea how Edmund and the others were doing.

...

Ever since returning to Aurelia City, Edmund had secluded himself in the lab.

Even Evelyn couldn't get in.

She could only check on him from the doorway to make sure he was alright.

Richard had business to attend to and couldn't stay in Aurelia City for long.

Before leaving, he promised Evelyn he would let her know if he got any news about Julian.

Evelyn was so worried she was losing her hair in clumps.

"Hey boy, how are you doing?" she asked, tapping on the glass.

Inside the lab, Edmund didn't even look up.

Evelyn looked at the food in her hands and sighed, leaving it by the door and hoping he would remember to eat.

It was a week later when Edmund finally emerged from the lab.

"Let's go, Auntie. This time, it will definitely work. That guy won't be able to stop me."

"Where are you going?"

Suddenly, a familiar male voice, lazy as always, cut in.

Without a second thought, Edmund ran over and hugged him. "Daddy!"

Julian pushed him away, feigning anger. "Don't try to sweet-talk me. I was gone, and you were in charge of your mommy's safety. And what happens? You let her get taken."

Edmund's head drooped. "I'm sorry, Daddy. I wasn't good enough."

"Don't blame the child," Evelyn interjected. "He's only six. How was he supposed to protect her? You couldn't even beat Adrian, which is why you were missing for so long, right?"

Julian shot her a look, then turned back to Edmund. "What did you come up with? Tell me what you've been doing."

Edmund explained, "The last plan had some flaws. This time, I'm sure it can bypass Grey Zone's defenses."

"Not bad," Julian said, patting his head. "Alright, grab your toys. We're going to save your mommy."
