Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 669

But Claire's words fully extinguished that little spark inside him.

She was right. They couldn't go back. They could never go back.

A mistake was a mistake, and the damage was done.

Justin stopped pressing the issue. "But we still haven't found Elena. Let me stay and help you search!"

"There's no need. I'll find Elena on my own."

Having said her piece, Claire turned to leave. She knew she couldn't spend another minute with Justin.

Otherwise, the rumors would only get worse.

Just then, Caleb walked up to them.

"Miss Claire, I've finally found you!"

"Caleb? What do you need me for?" Claire had seen him around Dylan before and knew he worked for him.

"It's like this: Mr. Sinclair asked me to inform you that Miss Elena has been found. You don't have to worry anymore!"

"Are you serious?" Claire's face lit up with overwhelming relief.

"Yes."

"Where is she right now? I need to go see her!"

"Miss Elena is with Mr. Sinclair at the moment. The two of them... well, you know how it is, they want some time together. She'll come back when she's ready! Rest assured, your family has absolutely nothing to worry about."

Caleb obviously couldn't tell her that Elena was still unconscious. If he did, the whole Whelan family would likely have a complete meltdown.

"Thank you so much, Caleb. I understand. Sorry you had to come all the way out here!"

"Don't mention it. It's just my job. If there's nothing else, I'll get out of your hair!"

Caleb gave a polite nod and then headed off.

The massive weight that had been crushing Claire's chest was finally lifted.

Justin walked over. "Claire, that's amazing news. Elena has been found. I told you she was a lucky girl and that she'd turn up safe and sound!"

"Yeah. As long as I know Elena is safe, my mind is finally at ease!"

Claire's mood brightened considerably, as if the dark clouds from earlier had instantly cleared away.

"Elena, you have to wake up soon. Please, I'm begging you!" Dylan's eyes welled up with tears.

At the faint feeling of moisture, Elena's long eyelashes suddenly twitched.

Her eyes shot open!

"Elena! Elena! You're awake? Elena!" Dylan exclaimed, beside himself with joy.

Elena looked at him and instantly bolted upright.

She felt like she had just relived a lifetime of horrors, especially the agonizing memory of being butchered to pieces.

It had felt horrifyingly real.

Wait, had she reincarnated again?!

"I'm... alive again?" Elena muttered in confusion.

Not fully understanding what she meant, Dylan just played along. "Yes, you're alive! Elena, I'm so glad you woke up!"

Dylan wrapped Elena in a desperate, crushing embrace.

He had been so scared she was gone forever.

As he rocked her, fragmented memories began piecing themselves together in Elena's mind.
