Lance wanted to hand Elliot the umbrella, but Elliot had already turned away, walking through the pouring rain.
The once confident man now seemed burdened and weary.
Lance pitied Elliot and was equally worried about Sheena's disappearance.
Obediently, he followed orders and arranged for the tow truck to come.
Not far from the accident site, Elliot's phone rang.
He pulled it out and saw Nathaniel's name on the screen.
He stared at his screen, feeling conflicted.
He did not answer the call immediately.
Sheena’s disappearance had brought a bunch of tricky issues.
Where was Sheena?
Was her disappearance connected to the Reynolds family massacre?
Nathaniel and Lionel were at the lab, comforting Asher and Adora as they waited for Elliot's update.
However, with Sheena still missing, how could he explain the situation to the kids?
Elliot stood in the rain, staring blankly at the screen.
Finding Sheena was the most important matter.
Suppressing the rising tide of anxiety, he ignored Nathaniel's call and composed a text message.
[Elliot: I'm busy. Take care of the kids, and don't drop them off at the Jenkins estate tonight. Let them sleep at the lab, and have Lionel go to E&S Haven to pack some clothes for them. Get Adora excused from kindergarten. The lab is the safest place right now.]
His fingers trembled slightly as he forced himself to stay calm, carefully typing out the message and sending it to Nathaniel.
Barely a second had passed when his phone pinged with a new message.
[Nathaniel: Where's Nana? Are you not planning to take care of Asher and Adora today?]
Elliot read the first few words over and over again, his eyes red and at a loss.

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