My Dreamy Old Husband

At that moment, this distance that seemed not quite far was, in fact, the distance between life and death. Her child, her most precious one, was currently in this 10-storey building before her with the risk of falling at any time, but there was nothing she could do. Sophia wept desperately, but she could not make any sound for fear that the innocent Carmen would jump when she saw her.

Linus hugged Sophia when she was having an emotional breakdown and quietly said in consolation, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Michael has gone in to talk to her. Everything is going to be fine…”

“Linus, please save my child.” She grabbed him, as if she was clutching at straws. He supported her to one side to rest.

At that moment, Cooper and Joel were keeping the situation under control. Many people from the Fletcher and Mitchell Families were there surrounding the building, but they hesitated to send anyone in. The police were not informed of this matter yet to prevent agitating Celine and cause her to take irrational actions on the child.

Linus managed to keep her emotionally stable by tricking her into believing that they were just acting, but this could only buy them some time. They were now discussing the strategies after they got hold of the building plan. Joel suggested, “We can send in an assault troop and some snipers to take her down as fast as possible.”

However, Stanley immediately objected. “No, this angle is the sniper’s blind spot. Recklessly sending assault troops may cause unnecessary sacrifices, and Aunt Celine may harm Carmen.”

Katrina and Celine were one now. Celine now had both of their intelligence and skills, but the one in control was Katrina. If they were to use an assault troop, they had to first consider if the assault troop was a match for her. Besides, she had a gun with her now.

Cooper suggested, “We can use a drone to launch an accurate attack from a close range.”

Joel thought about it for a while and finally rejected it. “If we use a drone, Celie will…” Celine will die. Joel intended to try his best to rescue both of them.
