NovelOnlineChapter 1382
After hanging up on Tarquin, Elysia just couldn't shake her worry. So, she headed over to Tanhe Manor.
She packed the self-defense gadget Walter had made his own take on pepper spray-and sointment for
injuries.
The pepper spray was for Winona.
The ointment was for Keaton.
When the doorbell rang, Winona answered, surprised to see Elysia standing there.
"Hey! What are you doing here? You didn't even text before coming over!"
Before Elysia could reply, she caught sight of Jessamine Huber sitting on the couch.
Jessamine spotted her too, immediately jumping up, both surprised and delighted.
“Elysia!”
Elysia blinked. "Jess? What are you doing here?"
Jessamine wiped her eyes, still a little teary. "I cto check on Keaton! And | wanted to thank Winona for
looking after him these past few days."
Elysia remembered Jessamine was pregnant with her second child and quickly helped her sit back down.
"Take a seat-did you just get back from Border City?"
Jessamine nodded. "Yeah, | got to Jindale City at dawn, stopped by my parents’ place first, and chere as

Elysia said, "Honestly, | thought you'd just settle down in the States for a while, maybe cback after the
holidays."
Jessamine shook her head, smiling. "No way. You know, you said something that really stuck with me-no one
cares for your own kids like you do!"
"Why hand my own kid off to a stepmom when I'm right here?"
"| even canceled the fancy maternity clinic | booked in Alerasia. | want my baby to
be born right here in Zhinora, to be a true local."
"Let him grow up here, have his own roots, and actually feel like he belongs."
Winona chimed in, "You made the
right call. Have you seen how crazy things are in Alerasia lately? Alk those chaotic videos online are just the tip
of the iceberg! s
"It's total mayhem out there, danger everywhere."
"Even the locals don't feel safe, let alone us outsiders. Zhinora's definitely the safest place to be right now."
Jessamine nodded, "Exactly. Zhinora's pretty much the safest country in the world these days."
"Why would | want my kid to be born somewhere else just for a foreign passport? That's just nuts."
"I'm gonna take a page from your book, Elysia. No more chasing after all that nonsense. I'll just focus on raising
my kid right."
"If he grows up to be someone special, he can serve our country And if he's just average, well, he'll stay close
and I'll enjoy every moment with him." fo s
Elysia grinned. "That's right. No one loves your kid like you do. And it's always safer to raise them at home."

And even after all that, you still got treated like an outsider-looked down on and discriminated against. What was
the point?
It was better, she realized, to stay hand raise her baby in her own country.

Zane's escape was all over the news-his face plastered everywhere. The whole country was on alert.
Elysia frowned. “I can't believe he actually managed to get away!”
Winona, lounging in her silky pajamas with her hair loose, somehow looked both relaxed and regal.
She shrugged, a stubborn gleam in
her eye. "If Zane really wants to cafter me, let him. If he
manages to killwell, maybe that's just how my story's supposed to end. I'll accept it." s
