Chapter 843 Tarquin frowned, a moment of silence before he said, "Tell them to stay on high alert, no need to dive in after him. We'll question him once he's ashore." A flicker of surprise passed through Axel's eyes. It was somewhat unexpected.
Why not approach now, especially with that boat showing up near pier five at this hour? Highly suspicious.
Axel didn't press Tarquin for his thoughts, simply relayed the message and hung up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe rain was pouring down, and Tarquin stood there, letting it drench him, not moving to take shelter or return to the car.
Axel stood beside him, quietly keeping him company.
Tseemed to stretch on until suddenly, there was movement not far from them.
Two figures emerged from the sea! Keith: "How are you doing? Are you okay?" Elysia didn't respond, instead she started to cough violently as she shed the heavy gear, having swallowed water.
Axel was taken aback, clearly not expecting Keith and Elysia to surface here! Before he could recover, Tarquin had already bolted towards them! Without giving Keith a chance to react, he kicked him away from Elysia and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close, "Elysia!" Keith was taken aback! This spot, only he knew about it! How did Tarquin find it??? Keith's brows furrowed, a cold look in his eyes, as he got up to retaliate.
Axel rushed over, grabbed his wrist, and flipped him over his shoulder! Keith grunted as he hit the ground, and before he could catch his breath, Axel's fist was coming at him again.
Keith quickly dodged, realizing the situation was dire. He gave Elysia one last look before diving back into the sea with a splash. Without a second thought, Axel dove in after him! The sea swallowed them both in an instant! The rain continued to pour, but Tarquin paid no mind to Keith, holding Elysia tight as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones. "Elysia, it's me, it's okay now, it's me!" It took a moment for Elysia to stop struggling and recognize him, "Tarquin?" "Yeah, it's me!" Elysia paused, and then the next second, she burst into tears, like a child who had finally found her family after feeling lost and scared. She stopped fighting him, instead clinging to Tarquin's waist as if afraid he would vanish again.
"I was so scared, Tarquin, I thought I was going to die, sob sob sob..." She was terrified something had happened to Tarquin! Terrified she'd never see him again! Terrified of the stormy night and the pitch-black depths of the sea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was scared, terrified! Hearing her tremble as she called his name, telling him all her fears, Tarquin's heart was breaking.
He held her tighter, his voice choked with emotion, "It's okay, I'm here..." He tightened his grip, his tone gentle.
The day and night Elysia had been taken by Keith, Tarquing emotions were indescribable. He was scared, scared for her fear! Elysia cried out in her vulnerability, "Tarquin!" Tarquin quickly responded, "Yeah." Elysia called again, "Tarquin!" Tarquin assured, "Yeah, I'm here."
Elysia's cries grew louder, her voice filled with a child-like vulnerability as she repeatedly called his name, seeking reassurance that he was truly by her side. Tarquin patiently responded, again and again.
With one arm wrapped around her waist and the other cradling her head, he enveloped her with his broad frame, offering her the sanctuary of his embrace. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
