After hanging up on Sebastian, Stephanie gently comforted Ella, who was still holding on to her. “It’s alright. Nothing’s going to happen,” she said.

“Stefi, thank you,” Ella said, her voice shaky.

A lot had happened recently, but thankfully, Stephanie had been there for her, offering emotional support. Even though Stephanie had been in Long Harbor, the hope she gave her kept Ella going.

Stephanie looked at her kindly. “Stop saying silly things.”

“I need your help with something,” Ella said.

“Looking for Andrea?” Stephanie didn’t need Ella to finish the thought. She already knew what she meant.

Ella nodded. “Yeah, I need to find out where my mom is… and Emily…”

Emily had been taken by those people. Ella was really worried, especially since Emily was just a girl. She feared something bad might happen to her in their hands.

Stephanie nodded. “We’ve already sent people to look for them. Just no word yet.”

Back in Long Harbor, Stephanie had sent people out to find Ella’s mother, but days had passed with no news. They didn’t know who Andrea had gotten involved with this time, but those people were dangerous.

If needed, they might have to use Sebastian’s connections.

Ella was even more touched by this.

Before she could say anything, Bernard came downstairs and looked at Ella. “Ms. Turner, Lorenzo wants you upstairs.”

Ella instinctively hid behind Stephanie when she saw Bernard. After hearing his message, she grabbed onto Stephanie’s arm more tightly.

“I’m not going up there,” Ella said, sounding firm.

Stephanie could hear the fear in Ella’s voice. It was clear she was terrified of Lorenzo.

Bernard repeated, “Ms. Turner.”

“I’m not going. I don’t know how to cook or heal. I told you to send someone to take care of him,” Ella said, her voice rising.

“You made me take care of him, and now if something happens, you’ll blame me for trying to kill him? What kind of logic is that?” she added.

The more she spoke, the more upset she became. It felt like they were cornering her and not even giving her a choice. Stephanie turned to Bernard. “What does Lorenzo want with Ella? You better explain yourself clearly. Don’t try to scare her.”

Ella was scared, but Stephanie wasn’t afraid of these people.
