Chapter 926 - Breaking Through The Enemy Base (1/2)

JM's arrival five minutes after Altair arrived at the penthouse managed to make the frantic teenager calmer.

”Gosh ... Altair ..!!” the girl exclaimed in a panicked voice. She immediately hugged Altair very tightly. Her mother told JM to go up to the penthouse a few minutes ago and the girl immediately went regardless of her appearance. Now she came still with pajamas and hair rollers on her head.

”Vega ... I can't reach her...” Altair stammered.

JM tightened her arms. She had seen the news about the terror attack on the Eiffel Tower a few hours ago. She was shocked to know Vega was there.

She didn't even know her mother had left their suite and went there after being called by the panicked Nicolae. JM only realized that her mother was at the location when she received a call from Marion to accompany Altair at the penthouse.

Now her feelings were mixed. She was feeling sadness, fear, and anxiety over Vega's safety. She and Altair hugged for a few minutes to vent their grief and then finally broke away.

”I'll make hot tea,” JM offered. Altair just nodded. He sat on the sofa with a somber face. Marion looked at the teenager with a look of pity.

The current situation was really uncertain. No one knew what really happened to Vega. Marion didn't know whether Vega was the only victim who was taken from the scene, or if there were others. Marion also could not contact Mischa, and that made her even more worried.

JM came with a tray containing a pot of hot tea and three cups for them.

”Have some tea first, so you can calm down,” she said softly.

She poured each of them a cup of tea and placed them on the table. Altair only stared at the cups, unmoved. He could put anything in his mouth right now. He felt like he was going to throw up.

”Hmm ... you'd better try to sleep,” Marion finally said. ”We cannot do anything at a time like this. I will wait for your parents to arrive. You must rest so that you won't get sick.”

She took two pills from her wallet and handed one each to JM and Altair.

”I want to wait for my parents ...” said Altair, in protest.

”You can't. They won't arrive for a few more hours. It's useless for you to force yourself to stay up late waiting for them,” Marion said. She then patted her daughter's shoulder and told her to coax Altair. ”You must accompany Altair to sleep and make sure he doesn't stay up late. I'm counting on you.”

JM looked at her mother with round eyes. Her face turned red, but when she saw the look on her mother's grave face, JM soon realized that Marion was serious about telling her to accompany Altair to sleep.

The girl was about to protest and said that she was not his nanny or something, but when she turned her head and saw how much Altair looked devastated ... she softened.

JM understood that at a time like this, Altair would only listen to her. Finally, JM obediently swallowed the sleeping pill from her mother and then approached Altair and patted his shoulder.

”Altair ... let's take the pills. I will accompany you to sleep. We must rest ...”
