Two Times the Charm

Chapter 360

Night fell…

Clara sat motionless in the yard, waiting for Elio to return with news about Aiden and Alex.

Nestor handed her a cup of honey water, “Clara, even if you don’t eat, you should drink something to boost your energy, or you might pass out.”

Clara turned slightly, managed a small smile, and took the cup from him, “Thank you.”

“I heard you talking with Elio. I totally get how you’re feeling now. My daughter was once missing, kidnapped. I had the same feeling, wishing they’d taken me instead! I’d give anything, even my own life!”

Clara lowered her head and said, “I can’t do anything here. That wicked woman is after my kids. I feel so helpless! I don’t deserve to be their mother!”

Nestor gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, “Don’t say that. How could the kids blame their own mother? You brought them into this world. You’ve done nothing wrong to them.”

“But now I’m powerless…”

“Even if you can’t do anything now, I believe you, like me back then, would be willing to give your own life to protect the kids’ safety, right?”

Clara sighed, “Yes! Leah can take my life as long as she doesn’t harm my children.”

Hearing Leah’s name, Nestor visibly stiffened.

His face grew stern, his voice colder. “Leah always creates trouble in the Milburn family. It’s not the first time. Everyone in the Milburn family hates her!”

Clara frowned, staying quiet. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The honey water in her hand was still warm but couldn’t warm her icy heart.

If something happened to the kids…

Clara clenched her fist, gripping the cup.

She would definitely leave with her kids!

“Nestor, could you call Elio again? I want to know how he’s doing.”

Nestor nodded, “Okay, calm down. I’ll call him now and let you talk to him.”

“Thank you.”

Nestor turned to get his phone. Soon, Elio answered the call.

“What happened? Any new problems?”

Whenever Elio saw a call from them, he always worried that Leah had done something bad to Clara.

Clara replied, “I’m fine. I just want to know if you’ve found my two kids?”

Elio hesitated slightly, then said, “Sorry… I haven’t found them. And I just got some very bad news; Aiden and Alex disappeared while trying to find Emmett…”

“What? They’re not in the Melendez family anymore?” Clara felt like her brain was deprived of oxygen!

“Yes.” Elio’s heart also clenched. After all, he had watched Alex grow up. How could he not worry?

“What about Leah? Any new news? Could Aiden and Alex have been taken by her?”
