"Mommy!" Elowen's voice quivered with fear.

The bodyguard scooped her up and made for the exit.

"Momny..." Sophia's small frame squirmed in fright.

Clutched tightly in the bodyguard's arms, she, too, was carried out alongside Elowen. Their struggles and cries gradually faded into the distance.

Thalassa, weak but determined, tried to follow. "Give me back my children..."

She barely took two steps before a burly bodyguard blocked her path. Thalassa halted, her eyes swimming with tears as she faced him.

"Move aside, let me go to my children!" Thalassa gasped for air. "Sorry, Ms. Everhart, don't bother chasing them. It's no use," the bodyguard said.

Thalassa knew it was futile to argue with the bodyguard. She turned her teary eyes to Zephyr, pleading, "Please, leave the children with me. They are my flesh and blood..."

Zephyr's voice broke as he descended into a fit of coughing, his physical and emotional pain nearly overwhelming him. "Zephyr, please calm down. Mr. Sinclair is still counting on you..." David, steadying Zephyr, was anxious as he patted his back. Zephyr couldn't afford to collapse now; he was the only hope for Lysander.

His connections, his power, were unmatched.

Zephyr took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil inside him. He wanted to stay calm, to not lose his temper, but how could he when Lysander, the boy he raised and had such high hopes for, was fighting for his life in the ER?

How could he not be enraged?

Thalassa's breath shook. Zephyr's words hit her like a bombshell.

And she had been so cold, so distant.

If only she had been more heartless, pushed him away completely.

Then, he wouldn't be lying critically injured because he tried to save her.

Amid the overwhelming grief, the roar of choppers filled the sky above the hospital.
