A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 591

Because of this, facing the sister they had finally regained, they would cherish her more than anyone else.

They wouldn't let anyone become a stumbling block again.

Rex saw Laurel's determination and calmed down. "Then... I'll go to the hospital to see Elissa."

Jacqueline was practically family to her.

If something happened, he wasn't sure if she could handle it.

Laurel had the same thought. "Go see her first, and contact me anytime."

She couldn't get away, having to rush back to the municipal office.

Hospital.

After ending the call, Elissa sat by the bed holding Jacqueline's hand, her heart in her throat again. Even though Laurel had promised, and she knew Rowan would do everything he could, it was far less reassuring than actually having the antidote in hand.

She knew better than anyone that Jacqueline was implicated because of her.

She looked at Jacqueline's pale face, completely engulfed by a suffocating wave of despair.

After studying medicine for so many years, treating many difficult diseases and saving many people, she thought she had the ability to protect the people around her.

She never expected that she would also bring them harm...

And she couldn't do anything about it.

She could only wait here.

Rowan wrapped an arm around her shoulder, rubbing gently. "Laurel was right. Don't blame yourself for other people's mistakes."

"It's hard to defend against hidden arrows. How could you have known?"

Without waiting for Elissa's response, he changed the subject. "By the way, Aaron is almost at the hospital. Do you want to go down to meet him?"

"You remembered it wrong." Elissa pursed her lips. She also hoped her mentor would return soon. "He's only arriving at the airport tonight."

"I didn't." Rowan bent down and took her hand, pulling her up from the chair. "He arrived at the airport an hour ago. By my calculation, he should be at the hospital right now."

Seeing his certainty, Elissa paused. "Really?"
