The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 1092

Connor's gaze sharpened, and in the second before he fired his weapon, he raised his hand and unleashed his power, taking the lives of two assailants.

His actions were decisive, leaving no room for retaliation.

As Juliette and Isaiah's eyes adjusted to the sudden change, they were both stunned.

Connor?

How could it be him?

Connor approached, extending his hand, “Don’t be afraid, follow me!”

Juliette was momentarily taken aback.

Isaiah stepped forward, untied the ropes binding her, and pulled her to follow Connor.

At this moment, he was the only one they could trust.

Outside, Draven quickly noticed, “Young Master, someone just used their powers inside…”

Vivienne’s heart skipped a beat as she strode inside.

To her relief, Connor appeared, holding the children, and calmly said, “Don’t worry, the kids are alright.”

A flicker of relief passed through Vivienne’s eyes.

As she looked towards the darkened cave entrance, Juliette rushed to her, whispering, “Mommy, Mr. Boyd saved us. He has magic just like you.”

Though reluctant, a life-saving debt had to be acknowledged.

They could repay him later, but if he thought this would make him a stepfather to Juliette and Isaiah, that was out of the question.

Separate issues remain separate.

Hearing this, Vivienne narrowed her eyes, “Was it you who used your powers?”

Connor simply nodded.

Vivienne understood; the Boyd family, relying on the Perez family, had their place in Rivenwood.

But at its core, they were both part of an ancient warrior lineage.

Having supernatural powers wasn’t unusual.

She had overthought it.

Vivienne then turned to Draven, ordering, “Take care of this. I don’t want to see these people again.”

Draven obeyed and set to work.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, Griffin and Leopold waited anxiously outside.

They had felt the surge of power and were increasingly worried about the children's safety.

Vivienne’s capabilities were known to Griffin; she wouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary.

“Godfather, godmother, we’re back!”

Juliette's voice echoed from afar.

Leopold was visibly relieved at the sight of them safe and sound, his eyes welling up as he embraced the children.

“Juliette, Isaiah, I’m so glad you’re safe. I was so worried…”

Juliette, nearly suffocated by the hug, knew Leopold’s concerns were genuine, evidenced by his trembling hands.

She patted him, pointing at Griffin, “Oh, godfather, stop crying. Godmother will tease you again.”

Leopold took a deep breath, “Let her tease. Vivienne wouldn’t let me go with them, you have no idea how scared I was…”

Juliette and Isaiah shared a look of exasperation.

Sometimes, they just didn’t know what to do with Leopold.

Might as well let him hug them a bit longer, considering he was their godfather.

Griffin approached Vivienne, “Glad everything’s fine. A moment later, and I wouldn’t have been able to hold him back.”

Vivienne nodded, glancing back towards the cave, “Did my father come by? Where is he?”
