Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

After Xander reported it, Capital City sent a helicopter to pick up Samuel and Nicole just as Samuel had expected.

Lucas was too young to go with them, so Nicole entrusted him to Phoenix. Nicole texted Phoenix and asked her to bring Lucas back to the Seapolis City. And Nicole asked Zayn to help Phoenix with that.

Even though Zayn was the King of Country F, he had no power to intervene in the affairs of another country. But he promised to help.

Samuel and Nicole were very calm. Considering Nicole's physical condition and Samuel's contribution to the country, the superiors agreed that Samuel and Nicole could be inspected together.

Phoenix had been waiting for news from Nicole and Samuel. She had thought they could bring Davon back, but she got disappointed. Hearing that Nicole and Samuel were to be reviewed in isolation in Capital City, Phoenix couldn't understand it. But by the time she arrived at the center of the Dark Forest, Nicole and Samuel had left. Only Lucas and Xander were there.

Audrey looked at Phoenix. Knowing her identity, Audrey selectively told Phoenix what had happened, including Davon's death.

Phoenix almost fainted.

When she learned that the broken leg was not Davon's, she had hope. Now they told her they couldn't even find Davon's dead body. Phoenix couldn't accept it.

She was in a daze and almost fell over. Then someone held her tightly.

"Aunt Phoenix, hold on. Daddy and Mommy are not here. I'm afraid of being alone."

Lucas said in a soft and broken voice, which made Phoenix's heart ache.

She probably wouldn't have any child. Now that Davon was gone, she didn't have the slightest hope of being a mother. However, a woman was born with maternal instinct. Lucas was so lovable, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to him.

Phoenix hugged Lucas and cried loudly.

Ever since Davon's accident, she had told herself to be strong and to wait for Davon to come back. But now, her hopes had been shattered. All her faith and expectations were gone. She was overwhelmed with sorrow, but she had to be strong for Lucas.

Nicole and Samuel helped her a lot. Although she didn't know why they were brought back to Capital City, she couldn't let Lucas feel helpless in a foreign country.

After Phoenix calmed down, she asked Xander and Audrey in a choked voice, "Couldn't you find Davon's body?"

Xander shook his head, feeling grieved.

Phoenix felt she had to leave Country F. There was only pain and sadness here. She would rather return to Davon's hometown and be with the Dons. At least they were her family.

But she didn't know if she still was their family member or not.

Phoenix carried Lucas in her arms and whispered, "I want to bring Lucas back to the Seapolis City."

"They couldn't find Davon's body, but you can set up a cenotaph for him. Are you sure you won't stay?"
