“Mom! Dad!” When Hailey saw that her parents were safe. and sound, she threw herself at them in joy.
Conversely, the sight of his daughter’s return had Santiago thunder with fury lining his face, “Didn’t I tell Autumn to take you away? Why did you come back?”
“Exactly! Why did you come back? I just tricked Brad to leave a moment ago. Hurry up and flee!” Roanna likewise urged. “Mom, Dad, I returned with Jared.”
No sooner had she said that than Jared walked in with Cecilia and the others. Santiago was a touch taken aback to see the man, perplexed about the reason for his visit to Gate of Thunder’s secret realm.
“Why are you here at Gate of Thunder’s secret realm, Jared?” he questioned in puzzlement. “I’m here to look for my mother,” Jared answered frankly.
Hearing that, Hailey was wholly stunned. She had thought that the man was there for her. Even Santiago wore an expression of mystification, not quite comprehending why Jared would come to Gate of Thunder’s secret realm in search of his mother.
“To look for your mother? Who’s your mother?” he asked. “My mother is Beatrice Deragon. She’s here at Violet Cloud Palace, isn’t she?” Jared replied..
Boom! The moment Santiago heard that, it was as though he had been struck by lightning. He froze on the spot. Never had it crossed his mind that Beatrice would be Jared’s mother. On the contrary, Hailey interjected in bemusement, “There isn’t anyone named Beatrice Deragon here at Violet Cloud Palace, no?”
