My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 652 Eliza’s Residence

All I can see in my mind are images of Eliza.

And the haunting sight of her death.

Shaking my head, I continued, "I don't know. Eliza's face keeps replaying in my mind. I'm terribly afraid, but I can't pinpoint the reason. I'm terrified of the sound I just heard!"

Ezekiel paused briefly before asking, "Who is Eliza?"

Gary stepped in to provide an explanation, stating, "She is Mr. Xenos' birth mother."

Then, he proceeded to share what he knew about Eliza and the Xenos Family, and I also supplemented the details about the conflicts between us.

Lost in thought, Ezekiel furrowed his brow. Suddenly, Owen burst into laughter and proclaimed, "It's Old Mrs. Xenos seeking revenge. She seeks revenge against his descendant!"

His descendant...

My father's descendant was none other than me.

Realizing the connection, I hastily questioned Owen, "Do you know her?"

In response to my inquiry, Owen fell silent once more.

He refused to communicate with me.

Ezekiel attempted to comfort me, asserting, "Ms. Felix, we're all here. You don't have to be afraid. Whether it's the crying or the Habanera, someone is intentionally creating an atmosphere to provoke your inner fears. There are no ghosts or spirits in this world. What truly haunts us is our inner selves."

Without wasting any time, he instructed, "Gary, we'll split up. I'll accompany Ms. Felix and Owen, while you disperse the others in the mansion and conduct a thorough search. Report any findings, no matter how insignificant, to me."

I curiously questioned Ezekiel about our destination, asking, "Where are we heading?"

"Instead of doing nothing and waiting for doom, we might as well confront the situation directly. Ms. Felix, follow me for safety. I can protect you. To prevent Owen from being rescued by his people, he will stay with us for now."

Ezekiel's words implied his capability to safeguard us.

Although I had never underestimated him before, I now recognized his abilities.

"Okay, I'll follow your lead," I responded.

Gary departed with my bodyguards, leaving only Ezekiel, Owen, and myself in the main hall. Ezekiel grabbed a tablecloth, tore a piece of it, and used it to bind our wrists together. "This way, Ms. Felix, you won't be in any danger," he assured me.

I nodded resolutely and declared, "Let's go."

Owen, his hands now restrained, took the lead. Ezekiel didn't provide specific instructions on where to go. Instead, we just followed wherever he went. It seemed inconspicuous, yet I sensed something was amiss.

"Owen—"

I wanted to ask him where he was taking them.

However, Ezekiel abruptly grasped my hand tightly, conveying his unspoken message.

In an instant, I comprehended his intention.

He wanted Owen to guide us.
