?However, her decision faced immediate resistance from Monica and Nora, who vehemently opposed the idea of Madeline putting herself in harm's way. Nexus, equally concerned for her safety, joined in the plea for her to reconsider. The family dynamic unfolded in a brief but intense exchange of opinions.

"No, you can't go out there alone! It's too dangerous," Monica exclaimed, her worry etched across her face.

Nora, echoing Monica's sentiment, added, "We can't risk losing you, Mom. We don't even know how strong the person is. Please, reconsider."

Nexus, with a firm yet compassionate tone, chimed in, "It's too risky. We can't let you face whatever threat is out there on your own when we don't even know what it is."

Madeline, however, remained resolute. She reassured them with a calm demeanor, "I appreciate your concern, but I'm confident in my ability to handle the situation. I won't engage in any unnecessary fights, and I'll be careful. Trust me on this."

Monica couldn't contain her concern and frustration. "But what if something happens? We can't just sit here and wait!"

Nora, equally worried, added, "There has to be another way. We can't risk losing you."

"You shouldn't worry; I will be as careful as possible."

Nexus, understanding their apprehension and the reason why Madeline decided to go out alone, which is to make sure everyone is safe, attempted to soothe their fears. "I trust your judgment, Madeline. Monica, Rosa, let's trust her judgment. She's capable, and we have to respect her decision. Let her handle this her way."

Madeline, sensing their distress, gently touched Monica's shoulder and looked into Nora's eyes. "I promise I'll be careful. I won't take unnecessary risks. You both stay here and look after everyone. I'll be back soon."

Monica and Nora reluctantly nodded, their concern still evident. As Madeline stepped out, Nexus shared a reassuring glance with them. "She'll be fine. Let's have faith in her abilities."

In the dimly lit hall, the remaining family members exchanged glances filled with a mix of worry and hope, their thoughts and emotions swirling in the tense atmosphere.

...

As the minutes ticked away, the dimly lit hall echoed with the murmur of anxious family members; anxiety hung heavy in the air.

Monica was unable to contain her concern anymore; she abruptly stood up, her voice sharp and oozing confidence as she declared her intention to search for her Madeline. "I can't wait anymore. It's been over thirty minutes since she left, but there is no sign of her. I have to go out and look for her."

Nora, who was equally distressed, voiced her agreement, stating firmly that she couldn't bear to wait any longer. "Monica is right; we shouldn't wait for her anymore. We have to go out and search for her."

Monica felt relieved that she and Nora were having the same thought. She turned to the other family members, her eyes filled with determination. "We need strong mages to come with us. We can't let Mom face this alone."

Initially, there was hesitation among the family members. However, three individuals stepped forward, willing to join the rescue mission; they all knew that if anything happened to Madeline, it would speak doom for them. Just as the group was about to set out, Nexus, who had been observing quietly, intervened. He raised a hand to halt them and calmly shared his perspective.

"Wait. I understand your concern, but let's give it a little more time. If there's no sign of her soon, then the rescue team can go into action," Nexus suggested.

Monica, her worry etched across her face, challenged Nexus's decision. "But what if she's in danger? We can't just wait."

Nexus, maintaining his demeanor with his unwavering nonchalant stance, responded, "If someone is powerful enough to put Madeline in danger, we need to be cautious. Rushing in blindly won't help. Waiting is the safest option. Trust me, Madeline is skilled; she'll find a way out. Rushing in without a plan might make things worse. Let's give her a bit more time."

Monica, still worried but trusting Nexus's judgment, reluctantly agrees, realizing the wisdom in his words. "Okay, we'll wait a bit longer. But if there's no sign of her, we're going in."

The group reluctantly settled back, the passage of time feeling both eternal and fleeting in their anxious wait. Nexus nods in acknowledgment, appreciating Monica's concern for Madeline. The tense atmosphere lingers in the hall as they keep a watchful eye on the entrance, anxiously awaiting Madeline's return.

As the clock continued its relentless march, the tension in the hall reached a crescendo. An hour slipped away like grains of sand through an hourglass, leaving the family members in a state of heightened anxiety. The once dimly lit hall now felt oppressive, the shadows cast by the flickering candles dancing eerily on the walls.

Unable to bear the prolonged uncertainty any longer, the family members decided to brave the unknown. "We shouldn't delay any longer," one of the volunteers said. They steeled themselves for the possibility of confronting danger head-on, a collective resolve etched on their faces. Just as they were about to embark on their search, a hush fell over the room as Madeline returned.

Monica and Nora, their eyes reflecting a mix of relief and worry, rushed to their mother. "Where were you? Why are you so late?" they questioned almost in unison. Madeline, her usually confident demeanor momentarily giving way to vulnerability, managed a small, reassuring smile. She attempted to speak, to offer an explanation, but emotions choked her words.

Monica's worry etched lines on her forehead as she implored, "Why didn't you return sooner? What happened out there?"

Nora, her eyes wide with concern, joined in, "We were about to go out and look for you. The longer you were gone, the more we feared the worst."

Madeline, meeting the gaze of her daughters, felt a pang of guilt for causing them distress. "I'm sorry, everyone. I wish I could explain it better. The explosion—it was powerful. I couldn't see the saboteur, and I didn't want to risk missing anything so I had to search further."

Amidst the collective concern, Madeline took a moment to compose herself. She expressed her own confusion, recounting the events surrounding the explosion.

After a moment of silence, Madeline added, "It was a strange situation. I saw the aftermath but couldn't identify anyone suspicious nearby. Whoever did this must have left already."

Nexus, observing the unfolding scene with a calm demeanor, spoke up, "Madeline, can you recall anything else? Any details that might help us understand what happened?" The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

Madeline, reflecting on the events, responded, "It was chaotic. The aftermath of the explosion was huge. I felt a strong magical presence, but it was vague as if it could vanish almost instantly."

Monica, her concern turning into frustration, questioned, "But why would someone do this? What's their motive?"

Nexus, maintaining his composed demeanor, addressed the room, "Let's not jump to conclusions. We need more information. Crystal, did you see anyone leaving the area when you went to search the area?"

Crystal shook her head, "No, Nexus. It was as if they vanished into thin air."
