Meanwhile, Roxanne was still lost in a daze. “Madilyn, what...”
Cocking a brow, Madilyn stepped aside to usher them in. “Come onboard. I'm here to pick you up.”
Roxanne was blown away by the words.
Is she asking us to get in the helicopter and leave just like that? We might be able to escape this time, but what about when the reporters come for us again?
When she saw Roxanne remaining motionless, the puzzled Madilyn urged her, “Hurry up! What are you still hesitating for? Whatever concerns you have, we'll discuss it on board.”
She extended her hand while speaking.
With the helicopter hovering right before her eyes, Roxanne realized that Madilyn's effort would go to waste if she didn't get on.
Holding that thought, Roxanne took the latter's hand. Given how close the helicopter was, all she needed to do was take a step forward to board it.
After carrying Estella over, Roxanne turned around to do the same with the boys. Little did she expect them to be raring to go.
Reciprocating their enthusiasm, Madilyn grabbed the boys with one hand each and pulled them over.
Roxanne, who initially assumed they would be afraid, was surprised to see the excitement on their faces. Once they got on board, they scrutinized every inch of the helicopter curiously. It was as if they had forgotten the reason they were on it.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was still lost in a daze. “Madilyn, what...”
Since they were not showing any fear, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief.
