Chapter 354 - 354: The Person By Her Side (1/2)

Though Elle opposed the idea of Supremo staying in her apartment tonight, she had no remaining strength to further argue with him. Besides, his decision was final. He was so determined to stay even if Elle was against it.

Elle drifted off to sleep as soon as her body touched the soft cushion of her bed. She was not able to fight the dizziness. Her body was craving for a good sleep since yesterday she stayed up all night nursing Erick.

If Elle took good care of Erick last night, tonight Supremo did the same for Elle. He watched over her while trying his best to make her fever go down.

This kind of act was not new to him. He was used to taking care of her when she fell ill two years ago. He was the one who stayed by her side and the one who looked after her.

He witnessed how Elle persevered to recover from the illness caused by the toxin inside her system. He knew her struggles and pains. He saw everything. It was a long battle for her before she was able to stand up with her own feet again.

Thinking about those moments, he was so happy and very glad that he was by her side, helping her and encouraging her to fight back. He never got tired of taking care of her as if he became her personal nurse at that time.

It was already dawn when the fever had left her and her temperature went back to normal. Supremo felt content watching her sound asleep in her bed.

He sat on the bed beside her to see her face up close. There was a warm glow of happiness in his eyes as he looked at her.

”Sweetdreams, my Queen,” Supremo mumbled while caressing her face.

Then he bent down, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

The next morning, everyone had gathered once again at Erick's office for an emergency meeting.

After the discovery of Elle's true identity and making big progress on the Falcon Family Massacre Case, Erick was now in a much better mood compared to yesterday.

His colleagues felt relieved to see him acting like that. He appeared to be enthusiastic and very eager to solve the case his team was handling.

Erick changed the rotation of the surveillance operation. He chose to have less night shift schedules so that he could conduct some secret investigation during day time concerning the Falcon's Massacre Case.

Since Bryan would take his original schedule, Erick and April would be working closely together regarding Senator Mondragon's Death Threats.

By doing that, he would still have enough time to do his secret investigation since Mondragon's case was not that heavy compared to Catseye's case. He also needed to track a genius scientist who happened to be a whistleblower 18 years ago.

After giving the team his final instructions, Erick adjourned the meeting. That's the time Bryan was pressured by his colleagues to ask Erick and bring up the topic about Aliyah Ross.

”Chief Lee, one last thing. Actually, we have something to consult you.” Bryan said, after catching Erick's attention.
