Samuel and Marianne arrived at the base soon after. Marianne sobbed her heart out as she clutched Seline in her arms.
"Oh, my baby! I thought I would never see you again!" Marianne wailed. "I thought about you every day and dreamed about you every night. I was worried to death!"
Tessa stood to the side as she watched with tears streaming down her cheeks. For the last few days, whenever she closed her eyes, images of James torturing Seline would flash across her mind.
She always had nightmares when night fell. She would dream of James pouring oil on Seline with the intent to burn her to death. In the nightmares, James would always tell her that she could save Seline, but only by giving up her own life.
Samuel's eyes had also reddened at the touching reunion. There were a million things that he wanted to say, but he was only able to choke out a single sentence. "Seline, I missed you a lot too."
The four of them shed tears together. Marianne, who had a keen eye, noticed that Seline wasn't in a good mental state.
With bloodshot eyes, she said, "Seline was already traumatized by her last kidnapping. This time she was taken all the way to Arcton and nearly lost her life in the process. I'm worried that she—"
She couldn't complete the rest of her sentence. Seline wasn't even nine years old yet, but she had already been kidnapped twice. How was such a young girl going to endure such terrible stress on her psyche? She would undoubtedly develop mental issues in the future.
Samuel's gaze was steely. He hadn't gotten a single day's rest since Seline was kidnapped. Fatigue and anxiety were etched on his face as he gazed at Seline with guilt and worry in his heart. "I'll contact the best psychiatrist I know immediately."
Tessa added, "I'll also ask my friends to contact the best child psychiatrist in the industry. Seline will definitely get better, Ms. Connors."
"I can only hope so," Marianne said before sighing deeply.
Stephen and Julian were engaged in discussion as they stood outside. When the Yates family exited the room, the two parties greeted each other. Stephen's gaze fell on Tessa, and the two of them locked eyes. Tessa's eyes were bloodshot, making it obvious that she had been crying earlier.
Tessa could see the flicker of heartbreak in Stephen's eyes. She pressed her lips together before quietly averting her gaze.
Marianne initially wanted to thank Stephen, but she suddenly recalled that Seline had only been kidnapped in the first place because of him. She couldn't force the words past her lips no matter how hard she tried.

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
