“Hey...” Tarquin said, hoping to offer Elysian few comforting words, but before he could finish, she collap into his
arms like a house of cards caught in a gust of wind
The ordeal with Winona had already scared her half to death, and this latest fright had shattered her last bit of
defiance. Her heart couldn't withstand the immense terror and she lost consciousness entirely
Caught off guard, Tarquin instinctively reached out to catch her Elysia felt as light as a feather and as fragile as a
leaf in the wind in his arms. If he let on, she would surely fall.
Tarquin, unaware of the situation with Winona, thought she was merely scared by the recent accident. Without
overthinking, he scooped her up in his arms and dashed toward the hospital

The hospital wasn’t terribly far, but on foot, it felt like miles.
Tarquin, desperate ran with Elysia in his arms. Her as dangled lifelessly, swaying with his movements like a limp
doll
Sweat beaded on Tarquin’s forehead as he called out to her “Elysia, wake up! Elysia! Elysia”
Elysia teetering on the edge of consciousness, saw nothing but a vast fog before her eyes. It felt like floating in
the clouds, weightless and adeft
“Elysia stay with me” a firm voice called from behind, sounding like a parent summoning a child who hadn't

It sounded almost angry, as if ready to scold her for not responding sooner. Yet, Elysia wasn’t afraid, the voice
reminded her of a strict but caring guardian.
She drifted toward the hand and placed hers in it. The grip tightened immediately, pulling her out of the fog.
Elysia coughed violently, her face tuming red, but her eyes remained closed.
Tarquin kept running, glancing at her occasionally, relieved to see signs of her regaining consciousness but too
worried to slow down He burst into the hospital shouting for help, “Quick, help!”

Lowell, amiving in a hurry, checked on Elysia first, “Ms. Thalright?”
Tarquin, standing by the bed, grimaced, “She’s fine! What did you find out?
“It was Allegra’s doing, probably still upset about Lionel. They needed someone to lash out at, and they chose
Ms. Thome”
The Bradfords now knew that Tarquin wasn’t responsible for Lionel’s death, it was likely Gideon acting out of a
grudge related to Elijah.
Allegra, not daring to confront Gideon or Tarquin directly, targeted Elysia because she had inadvertently saved
Elijah. The logic was simple yet twisted: Elysia had to pay
Tarquin’s expression darkened with anger, but before he could respond, Elysia suddenly asked, “Who's taking out
on me?
