After some time, he slowly took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Lena.
"You can make the call," he whispered. "You must remember Mr. Hamerton's phone number clearly, but I
recommend calling Ms. Thompson first."
Lena stared at him, somewhat surprised, because that was exactly her plan.
Lina possessed a tracking device. If she called Lina, it would lead her there. Zachary and Sasha would also face
consequences.
"Curious how I found out?" Zachary grimaced. "Ms. Thompson called Sasha last evening. She doesn't beat around
the bush, yet she talked to Sasha for a long time. My guess is she was tracking her!"
Lena's expression eased.
She withdrew her hand slowly and dashed toward the door, keeping a distance from Zachary before he could react.

"Don't expect forgiveness for Sasha," Lena said coldly. "And don't expect me to forgive you either! I live by the
principle of not harming others unless they harm me first. You harmed me! Talking about sibling affection with me
now is quite ridiculous, isn't it?"
With that, she ran off.
Zachary observed her retreating figure with pursed lips and a jumble of emotions in his heart.
After Lena left the villa, she headed forward without looking back. She felt somewhat fatigued on the quiet path,
and it seemed like the bustling city center was still quite a distance away.
Centrolis was vast, and she hadn't explored every corner. She could only estimate the general direction, and not
having a phone complicated matters. She wiped the sweat from her brow, uncertain about her next steps.
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine echoed on the quiet road.
Her heart skipped a beat. Then, she heard the screeching of brakes!
Chris leaped out of the car.
Lena stared at him blankly.
"Lenny!" Chris couldn't wait and rushed toward her, pulling her into his arms.
Lena stood still. It took her a moment to react. She raised her hand and stroked his broad back, tears welling up in
her eyes.
Chris examined her carefully from head to toe, reaching out to touch her face, his eyes filled with the joy of
reuniting with something lost.
"Lenny... It's really you..."
"Yeah!" Lena nodded vigorously.
They gazed into each other's eyes. Despite their few days apart, it felt like they had been separated for centuries.

Lena shook her head with a smile, tears flowing uncontrollably.
She was then surprised to see that Elijah had also exited the car!
Elijah stood behind them, his eyes fixed on her, emotions rapidly changing within him.
"How did you..." Lena was still in the dark. "How did you both come together?"
Elijah didn't utter a word. He approached her and opened his arms, blocking Chris behind him. He then embraced
her tightly.
Lena was startled, but his embrace was as firm as steel. She was almost breathless in his arms.
"M-Mr. Chriss..."
Elijah suddenly made a choked sound, earning an eye-roll from Chris.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chris stepped forward to separate them. "Can you be a bit more composed?"
"Why should I?" Elijah defended himself. "You should be polite to me from now on!"
Only Lena remained entirely bewildered. "What are you two... talking about?"
