Elliot calmly dialed the emergency number and communicated with the police. He instructed them not to approach Rachel if they found her, in order to avoid triggering any extreme emotions that could lead to harm towards the child.
Rose's palms were already sweating, and the mere thought of Leah possibly being in danger made her tremble uncontrollably.
The man discovered it and gently reached out to hold her shoulder, whispering softly in her ear.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. If Rachel wants to threaten me, she definitely won't harm Leah."
Rose heard the sound and her eyelids drooped, her hands tightly clasped together in nervousness.
I can only hope that it is really so...
An hour later, the man's subordinates sent a message back after being dispatched to search for the little guy.
Upon seeing this, Elliot's face turned cold and the air around him dropped several degrees.
He glanced at Rose, who was still anxious and restless, and whispered, "Rose, we've found them."
Rose's eyes widened suddenly when she heard these words.
"Where are they now?"
"We are going to the abandoned factory in the suburbs now."
An hour later, Elliot and Rose walked into the abandoned factory together.
As soon as they walked in, they saw Rachel standing up high and Leah hanging in front of her.
The little one glared angrily at the bad woman standing in front of her and struggled hard.
"You bad woman, release me quickly."
"Whether to let go or not depends on whether I can get what I want."
After Rachel finished her mockery, she looked down and saw Rose and Elliot standing together.
"Kiddo, look who's here."
She had a resentful gaze and a cold smirk at the corner of her mouth.
"Rose, you finally came. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Since you dare to appear, I will make sure you have no way back.
Rose looked at Leah, who was suspended high up, her pupils shrinking and her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Rachel, whatever issues you have with me, don't take it out on the child," Rose said.
Rachel, standing at a high place, heard this and it sounded like the biggest joke she had ever heard. She showed a mocking expression on her face.
"Rose, you're the one who didn't give me a way out first, so I won't let you off easy either!" Rachel retorted.
"Today, I'm going to make you watch your child die right in front of you," Rachel declared.
