Elliot had only one thing on his mind: to bring Lorelai back so that he could finish the operation at his hospital and to calm his wife.
Therefore, he didn't want to wait any longer.
At this moment, Elliot noticed an outlaw approaching him in the bushes six meters away, so he motioned Reece to go forward with him. Reece's heart raced as he saw this and dashed behind Elliot.
The outlaw went over to investigate when he heard a twig snap in the trees behind him, not realizing it was a stone thrown by Reece.
As the outlaw looked around frantically for the source of the noise, Elliot stepped from behind him, snatched his weapon and took him down to finish him off.

Within minutes, flocks of frightened birds flew from the woods as it was accompanied by loud noises and screams. After fifteen minutes, there was complete silence.
Reece, who was holding a weapon, was dumbfounded that he had witnessed a scene from an action film whereby the man he was protecting, Elliot Presgrave, was the main character.
“Let's go before the sun goes down!” Elliot told Reece as he dropped the things in his hands.
Reece was taken aback, and he quickly followed Elliot.
While driving in the car that they cin; they contacted the other team members who were in the other three cars. The team members in those cars soon cto pick them up, but the two injured bodyguards had been transported to the hospital.
Then, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Anastasia‘s number.
“Hello! Hello, Elliot, is that you?” Anastasia‘s voice was tinged with emotion.
“It's me. Don’t worry, I'm fine,” he reassured her. She must have been worried at hfor the past two hours! “You frightened the hell out of me.” She sniffled, indicating that she must have shed tears beforehand.
“I‘'m not going to die so easily. | still have to look after you and Jared for the rest of my life!” Elliot tried to entice her with humor.
On the other hand, Anastasia‘s tears beceven more audible. “Could you kindly refrain from bringing up the subject of death? That's not what | want to hear from you.” “Okay, fine. | won't bring it up again,” Elliot coaxed tenderly.
Elliot's demeanor surprised Reece. Is he the sMr. Presgrave who killed the outlaws in the woods? Anastasia informed Elliot to return hearly when she learned he would pick up Lorelai.

At night, the villa stood out even more prominently. Several shadowy people showed up in front of the villa‘s outer wall, and the bodyguards led the way as they climbed up the wall.
Lorelai was asleep in her bedroom when she becaware of the sound. Panicked, she rose to her feet and yelled for her assistant, but nobody responded.
As she walked down the hall, she was thinking about her assistant when she noticed the door to her house being forced open and a tall figure enveloped in a subtle aroma of blood entering the house with a gloomy coldness.
Lorelai stepped back quickly and trembled as she was overwhelmed with fear. The man who appeared before her at this twas not the sman who had once held her heart; instead, he was a dangerous incarnation of Hades, who had cdown from hell himself.
“E-Elliot, what are you doing here?” She maintained her composure, but her emotions were in disarray.
When she looked closer, she discovered Elliot's suit was smeared with a red dye that resembled human blood.
In an instant, Lorelai had a realization about something. Her mother had not informed her of the plan. /s that what Dad was attempting to do by ambushing him? “Will you return hwithvoluntarily, or will you makeuse force to bring you back?” Elliot said coldly.
When he looked at the girl in front of him, with whom he had spent his childhood together, he no longer felt anything. He felt disgusted to the point where he didn’t want to look at her again.
“I'm not going back, and I'm not going anywhere.” An emotional Lorelai shook her head and begged, “Elliot, the child is already in my womb. May | give birth to it? | promise the baby will grow up to be a healthy child.”
