You Are My Mr Right

Clear and familiar voices caused Freya’s face to change drastically, a mixture of joy, excitement, and an urgent speechlessness. “Elijah?”

In the next moment, her voice changed from excitement to cautiously hopeful. “Elijah, is that you?”

On the other end, a sound of confirmation. “I’m okay.”

Freya felt a sudden loss of strength, leaning against the wall beside her, a smile coming to her face, tears welling in her eyes as she tried to keep her composure. “Where are you? I’ll come find you.”

Orion and Xander gathered around her phone.

There was a pause on the other end. “I’ve got some things to take care of. I called to let you know I’m okay and not to worry.”

Freya furrowed her brows.

Before she could say anything else, the call was abruptly ended.

Freya panicked.

She immediately dialed the number again!

The call went through, but was disconnected on the other end.

As she prepared to dial a second time, Orion held her hand back. “Don’t dial again.”

“Why?” Freya asked.

“It’s clear. Elijah is definitely not in control of his own actions right now,” Orion analyzed. “If he were free, why wouldn’t he disclose his location and only tell you not to worry? He called to reassure you that he’s okay.”

Freya stared at Orion.

“Is he in danger?” she asked, grabbing the hem of her clothes nervously.

Veins popped on the back of her hand!

Orion reassured her, “Elijah is so clever, he will find a way out.”

But Freya couldn’t stay calm. “Can we trace the location of the call I made?”

“We could only track the address if the call was answered,” Orion said. “This is already good news. I believe he will contact us again.”

Freya was so nervous she didn’t know what to do next. “Are we just going to sit here and do nothing, waiting?”

Orion said, “Maybe all we can do now is not cause him any trouble.”

He patted Freya’s shoulder.

“Stay calm.”

Freya bit her lip.

…

The man chose to believe Elijah, which was why he allowed him to make that call to check in.

But he was also afraid. Elijah said too much.

This place could not be exposed.

So, he took away Elijah’s phone before he could finish his words.

Elijah wasn’t in a hurry either.

He could sense it.

This man was very cautious.

He had to make him believe first.

It was clear that he was willing to believe himself.

He had already achieved the best result.

“I’ll take you out of here tomorrow.”

The man decided to trust him.

But he dared not let Elijah know the location.

Luckily, he couldn’t see with his eyes.

He could rest easy.

Elijah confirmed, “Thank you.”

The man remained silent.

He didn’t ask for Elijah’s help.

But it was understood between them.

Elijah could feel that the man had his reasons but couldn’t easily voice them.

So Elijah didn’t inquire.

The next day, when the man was preparing to take Elijah away, someone arrived.

In this place, those people would come to inspect.

However, their visits were rare.

Usually, they came to pick up things.

After taking the items, they would let him talk to his son to ensure his well-being.

To ensure Elijah’s safety, the man hid him in the cellar and instructed him not to speak.

Elijah cooperated.

He knew that in his current state, he couldn’t do anything.

The cellar was damp and had a muddy smell.

Although masked, he caught whiffs of other odors.

Some unpleasant ones.

He didn’t know what they were.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

It was quiet around.

Probably because of being in the cellar.

After a while, the couple came to take him out of the cellar!

“I’ll take you out now,” the man said.

He felt it wasn’t safe here.

Keeping a grown man like him hidden here meant death if discovered, and he wouldn’t get a good end either.

Not to mention, his son was still in someone else’s hands.

Of course, Elijah wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
