Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 896

In the conference room, Angela was crying as she listened to her parents’ voices on the phone, and she couldn’t help letting out a sob.

“Mom, Dad…”

“Angela, things are more drastic here than we imagined. You have to listen to Captain Lloyd and stay at the base where they can keep you safe, okay? We don’t want you getting hurt again,” Gilbert said on the other line, sounding serious more serious than ever before.

“But I don’t want you both to get into danger because of me. It’s all my fault. I’m the one who brought all this trouble. I’m so sorry, Mom.” She wept guiltily.

Daphne comforted softly, “Angela, I’m fine. I know you’re worried about me, but it’s over now, and I’ll be okay. You’re our only daughter, and we can’t let anything happen to you. Do you understand?”

“Everyone in the family will be sent to someplace safe. We’ll meet again once all this blows over,” Gilbert promised.

“Really? Will the both of you go someplace safe, too? Will you come here to the base?” Angela asked, wanting desperately to be reunited with her parents as soon as possible.

“No, we’ve had other arrangements made. Protecting you is of utmost priority, and you have to stay put where Captain Lloyd can see you. Listen to him and don’t go causing any trouble for him,” Gilbert emphasized.

Disappointment flashed in Angela’s eyes when she heard that her parents would not be living with her anytime soon, but she nodded and said, “Okay. I promise I’ll be on my best behavior.”

Gilbert hummed in response. “Very well, then. We’ll hang up now, and don’t call us unless there’s an emergency. We can’t take too many chances.” He hung up after that, knowing that the criminal organization after Angela had all the means to hack into all telecommunication systems. He couldn’t risk having them track down his daughter.
