Patting the two, Zivon replied, “…Look, Mommy was abducted by bad people to gain something… and though we don’t know what it is yet, this also means that they’ll be taking good care of her since they still need her… Besides, your mother is a tough cookie, and I’m sure she’ll do her best to survive as we continue searching for you. You two believe in her, right?”
Watching as the kids sniffled before nodding slowly, Zivon added, “Good. Now stop crying and focus on caring for your grandparents… Once Mommy returns, you two can proudly declare how independent you two have been during her absence…”
Wiping the last of their tears away, they both replied, “…Okay, Daddy! We’re brave, and we’ll do our best to stay strong until Mommy comes home to us!”
Nodding in response, Zivon then walked over to the elderly to comfort them a bit… and once he was done, he left the palace with Nathan.
It didn’t take a genius to know that Zivon was in agony, and Nathan couldn’t help but sigh when he thought about how he had comforted everyone but himself… Not wanting Zivon to suffer alone, Nathan cleared his throat before saying, “…I know you only said that to comfort the children, but… Perhaps Whitney had only taken her hostage because she wanted something in return…? If that’s the case, she’ll likely contact us soon…”
“Even if that isn’t the truth, Mrs. Frankston is still stronger and more intelligent compared to Whitney, so I’m sure she’ll manage to escape eventually…”
Clenching his fists, the sorrowful man chose to ignore Nathan’s words and instead replied, “…Has Jenna awoken?”
“…She has.”
“Take me to her.”
It was around ten minutes later when they arrived at the hospital’s lobby… and shortly after, Zivon entered Jenna’s ward. Most of her body had been bandaged up, and though she looked pitiful, Zivon’s poker face barely changed.
