Chapter 0060
Panic struck through me. Adrenaline surged through my veins.
Seeing Elva hanging from that window took years off my life.
I rushed forward at once, forgetting the Luna now behind me forgetting all else.
My child was in danger!
As I ran closer, I held out my arms, ready to catch her if she fell.
Nicholas was already in action, climbing up the vine–covered trellis set alongside the palace walls.
“Hold on, Elva!” he called up to her. “I’m almost there.”
“Nick–lass!” Her sharp, frightened cry pierced into my heart. Tears stained her cheeks as she looked
down at him.
“Hurry, Nicholas!” I wanted to join him, but I feared too much weight would destroy the trellis. It already
creaked under his weight alone.
Suddenly, another figure appeared in the window, trying to grab her. She shuffled as best she could away
from those grabby hands.
At first I felt relief. Someone was there! They would save her!
But then I noticed those hands weren’t trying to pull her up. They were trying to push her.
“Leave me alone!” Elva screamed.
“Jump, Elva. Right here, I’ll catch you.” Feet planted on the trellis, Nicholas opened his arms wide.
Wasting no more time, Elva let go of the ledge.
My heart stopped.
But then Nicholas caught her. He enclosed her in the safety of his arms, and I could breathe again.
Carefully, he carried her down the trellis. I met them at the bottom. Elva turned in Nicholas’s arms and
reached out for me with both hands. I immediately cradled her to me.
Nicholas stayed close, leaving his hand on her back.
Eww’s loud sobe wracked through her b*dy. She was a trembling mess.

“It’s okay. I’m here. We’re both here.”
“That mean lady made her leave.”
Elva wiped her nose with her sleeve. “I told him I didn’t want to play… but he chased me… Then at the
window. Mommy, he pushed.me.”
