Chapter 1523 Falling Off A Cliff
‘‘Your Majesty, we’ve just received a call from the traffic police reporting that Prince Aaron lost control of his car while speeding and fell off a cliff. We’re unsure if he survived,’‘ Sybil said in between sobs over the phone.
‘‘Send more people to search for him. I don’t care if he’s alive or dead; I want him back,’‘ instructed Dylan as he tried to hold himself together.
The torrent of grief overwhelmed him, laying him to waste. He had never expected that something so tragic would happen.
Fallen off a cliff? Is there even hope for him to come out alive? Had I known that he would not be able to accept Arielle as his stepsister, I would have sealed my lips forever and brought the secret with me to my grave.
‘‘Dad, what’s going on?’‘ Vinson overheard his conversation and approached him at once.
Dylan’s face looked so weary that it seemed like he had aged several years in an instant. With a heavy heart, he uttered, ‘‘Aaron fell off a cliff. We’re not sure whether he’s alive or dead…’‘
Vinson was dumbfounded as he did not know that the hurtful truth would impact Aaron so severely.
‘‘Please stay here for Sannie. I’ll go help look for him,’‘ Vinson said without a second thought.
Regardless of all the unhappy incidents that had happened between them, Aaron remained his brother-in-law, the biological brother of Arielle. As his closest kin, Vinson could not sit and wait, doing nothing.
However, Dylan stretched out his arm and blocked him. How can I let him go on a search for Aaron when Arielle is still battling her fate in the operating theater? Moreover, he still carries a bullet in his arm!
‘‘No need.’‘ Dylan waved dismissively. ‘‘I’ve sent my people to do so. You should stay here and watch over Sannie.’‘
Since Vinson was not able to persuade Dylan, he suggested Dylan go home instead and leave Arielle to him. He did that so that Dylan could wait for news about Aaron in the comfort of his own home. Additionally, he also promised to update Dylan by phone as soon as Arielle’s surgery ended.
Dylan was in a tight spot, worrying about both his son and daughter.
‘‘Dad, I’ll be here for Sannie.’‘
Hearing that, Dylan acquiesced to Vinson’s decision, for he was extremely distressed about what had befallen Aaron.
Meanwhile, the queen mother and Celeste, the Queen of Turlen, received the sad news about Aaron.
Celeste fainted upon hearing that Aaron was possibly dead. Seeing that, Miranda quickly pinched her philtrum. Shortly after, Celeste returned to consciousness.
‘‘Miranda, did I hear it wrongly? Aaron is fine, right?’‘
‘‘Your Majesty…’‘ Miranda was unable to continue, choking on her tears.
‘‘How could it be? How could this happen to him?’‘ Celeste wept.
At that moment, all of the past memories flooded her mind. Celeste was very regretful of the way she had treated Aaron over the years.
I shouldn’t have channeled my hatred and anger toward Dylan to Aaron. My son was still so young, and he was such a well-mannered and thoughtful boy, but I… Celeste broke down in tears when she recalled the past.
Miranda consoled her, ‘‘Your Majesty, it’s all in the past now. I’m sure His Royal Highness didn’t take it to heart. You’ve got to be strong, Your Majesty. There’s still hope that His Royal Highness is alive. What we ought to do now is to be hopeful and send more help to search for him.’‘
‘‘Is that so?’‘ Celeste’s mind was blank.
‘‘Yes!’‘ Miranda affirmed confidently, ‘‘I strongly believe that His Royal Highness is somewhere waiting for us to rescue him. Please stay strong, Your Majesty.’‘
Celeste wiped the tears off her face. ‘‘Yes, you’re right. My son is surely waiting for me to save him. I must go and save him.’‘
Subsequently, she whipped out her phone and made a call.
Right then, the queen mother was rather disturbed. Arielle was sent for treatment at the military hospital? The doctors there are a league above those in other hospitals. At this rate, the chances of her recovering are quite high. Why didn’t the person inform me about this?
