She was scared to death.

Elgin wanted to clean her tears, but he just didn’t have the strength. If he could even save his hand, that’d be a miracle…

Letitia held him, her head against his cheek, just wanting to hold on to him tightly.

Elgin mustered a weak smile, slowly closing his eyes again.

Letitia breathed a sigh of relief. Let Samson handle the scene and he’d sort it all out.

She thought about it and tears fell once again.

All this must have been arranged by Elgin before he came to her rescue.

He met with Shela alone, playing down her guard while secretly arranging for bodyguards, which was why so many of them stormed in at the last minute.

Inside, Elgin faced danger while Samson coordinated from outside.

They worked like a well-oiled machine.
