At this, Alexandria grabbed her hair in frustration, her appearance disheveled and distraught.

The doctor, observing her closely, noted, “She’s in a bad mental state right now.

I frowned, concerned that Cory might pick up on the tension in Alexandria’s voice if she continued to unravel.

Just as I was about to intervene and urge Alexandria to end the call, she managed to compose herself slightly and retorted, “Stay out of my affairs.

Just follow my instructions.

Take the boy out of the mountains and make sure he’s back at your place before nightfall.

With that, Alexandria abruptly hung up the phone.

Debra’s POV:

After Alexandria hung up the call, she leaned against the car, with despair written all over her face.

Visibly heartbroken, Cristina moved closer to her and tried to hug her, but was shoved away.

Cristina didn’t expect Alexandria to treat her that way, and was quite stunned.

Glaring at Cristina, Alexandria spat out with hatred, “Get the hell out of here! Don’t you dare shower me with your fake kindness.

If it weren’t for you and your twisted feelings, I wouldn’t have lost so badly at such a critical moment!”

Lowering her head, Cristina cried, “I’m so sorry…”

Without allowing her to complete her sentence, Alexandria stood up in disgust, got into the car, and slammed the door.

Watching this scene, I simply let out a slight sigh.

Before long, we got into the cars and headed back.

Feeling weary, I leaned on Caleb’s shoulder and asked worriedly, “Is Dylan really going to return safe and sound? Perhaps, you should send some bodyguards to the mountains to pick him up.

I just couldn’t bring myself to relax as long as my baby wasn’t back in my arms yet.

Hugging me tightly, Caleb patted my shoulder soothingly and replied, “Everything’s going to be alright.

Alexandria was clearly scared.

She realized that we weren’t joking about killing her.

I’m very sure that with how scared she was of dying, she won’t risk hurting Dylan again.

Caleb’s gentle, yet reassuring voice, eased my tense mood a bit and I nodded slightly.

A few seconds later, Caleb added, “You’re too tired and stressed, Debra.

I should take you back so that you’ll be able to rest.

I shook my head, held Caleb tightly, and said, “No, I won’t be rest assured back home.

I have to go to Cory with you and see Dylan return safe and sound.

Perhaps knowing that he couldn’t change my mind, Caleb nodded in agreement.

Before long, we arrived at Cory’s house.

The air outside the shabby house was filled with a stench that was so strong, I had to wrinkle my nose repeatedly.

While Alexandria was sent in to check on the situation, the bodyguards, Caleb, and I stayed in the car.

After all, she was the one whose instructions Cory was most likely to follow.
