"Logan took his men up the mountain to clear the mines, but strangely, they didn't find a single one. Just some old, useless bombs."
Sheena finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like they were just bluffing to scare us. When I heard it earlier, I really thought they were going to blow us all up…"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
She recalled how fearful she was just now, and thinking about it still made her anxious.
Elliot empathized with her, knowing she was worried about him and his men.
He gently patted her hand and reassured her, saying, "Don't worry. I know how capable the National Investigation Bureau's soldiers better than anyone. This little thing can't stump them."
Footsteps approached, and they both looked up to see Jacob.
"Mr. Jenkins, the vehicles are ready. When do we depart?"
Sheena's heart raced with anticipation.
She had spent so many days away, leaving the sick Asher in the hospital.
Despite having Nathaniel watching over Asher, she could not shake off her worries completely.
When she stayed in Miguel's mansion basement, she relied on the thoughts of her little family of four to get through those difficult times.
She could not help but think that the two babies must be missing her too.
Elliot noticed her expression and immediately understood her longing for the twins.
He promptly ordered, "Count the numbers. We're heading back immediately."
With that, Elliot embraced Sheena and left the small cabin.
The four identical cars drove in formation along the mountain road, closely monitoring safety.
The journey from the outskirts back to the city was long and bumpy.
Sheena looked at the unchanged scenery outside the window and yawned from the drowsiness.
Elliot watched as the tiredness crept onto her once radiant face, feeling a twinge of heartache.
He pulled her slender shoulders into his embrace, gently patting her.
"Honey, go ahead and take a nap."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
