Chapter 3199
Ellar was momentarily stunned, listening to the dial tone from the phone.
"What did he say?" everyone asked at once.
"He wants me to go to BayCorp's parking basement," Ellar replied, somewhat hesitantly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go," Emery said, already moving to take Ellar with him. Dexter seemed eager to leave the hospital bed to join them.
"He asked me to come alone," Ellar said, torn.
The room fell into a tense silence, the air thick with anxiety.
"You can't go alone," Patricia was the first to break the silence.
Regardless, she decided to follow Ellar. She felt that him going alone wouldn't save Emma and could even put himself in danger.
"But if I take someone with me, Everett might not show up, or he might harm Mom," Ellar said anxiously. He was willing to risk his own safety if it could ensure Emma's.
"What do we do then? It's too dangerous for you to go alone," Lulu expressed her concern, highlighting the dilemma they faced.
"Let Ellar go alone. Give him whatever he wants," Dexter said, his priority clear. Nothing else mattered as long as his wife was safe.
"But what if Everett still refuses to release her or even captures Ellar after getting what he wants? Won't we be even more at a disadvantage?" the concern was evident, pointing out the potential risk in their decision.
"We..." Dexter’s face paled, his eagerness to save Emma was strong, but he also didn't want Ellarto be in danger.
