Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Safe at Last

“Tomorrow,” Becky said with a soft smile. “I’ll be back home tomorrow.”

“That’s good. As long as you’re safe.” Abigail replied warmly on the other end of the line.

Finished

Before hanging up. Abigail even let Becky hear James’s tiny, sleepy breaths. She couldn’t video call–this wasn’t her own phone but just hearing her son’s voice overwhelmed her. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

She wiped her eyes and handed the phone back to the bodyguard.

Xavier had been watching from a distance. Gently pushing Yvonne aside, he walked over and stood in front of Becky.

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly.

Becky couldn’t stop crying. “I miss James..”

She hadn’t shed a tear when Talonox kidnapped her. But now, at the sound of her child’s voice, the dam broke.

Xavier’s dark eyes held a flicker of jealousy. She was crying for that little brat.

Still, he pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back. “You’ll see him soon. It’s all okay now.”

She didn’t resist. Her tears soaked through his shirt.

“Shh… Don’t cry,” Xavier murmured. “How about this? I’ll add Abigail on WhatsApp so you can video call James.”

Becky’s red eyes lit up. “Really!

He used his sleeve to gently wipe away her tears, then pulled out his phone to send a friend request.

“Did she accept yet?” Becky leaned close, eyes fixed on the screen,

“Give it a second. She’s probably busy”

-You added a note, right?”

“Nope.”

“Add it! Otherwise, she won’t know it’s you.”

Xavier grinned and edited the request, then resent it.

A few moments later, Yvonne wandered over, still sniffling. “Is there anything to eat? I’m starving.”

Xavier waved over a bodyguard, who returned with a handful of snacks from the car. Yvonne grabbed a pack of cookies and, to everyone’s surprise, handed one to Becky.

Becky blinked “Thanks”

Half an hour later, Abigail accepted the request. Becky immediately initiated a video call.

James was already asleep.

Sull, Becky watched his little face for a long time, not saying a word. She didn’t want to wake him–she just needed to see

Yvonne leaned over to look. “He’s cute,” she murmured.

Last time at Luminous Frights, she had barely glanced at the boy. Seeing him up close now, she could see why Becky was so

parpene

When the call ended. Becky handed the phone back. “Thanks”

Xavier took it, then offered gently. “Want to lie down in the car for a bit?”

“No,” Becky said, then paused. “Those men who rescued us… who are they?”

“They’re special forces, Xavier replied.

He remembered how stunned Becky had looked when she recognized Lyle..

“You know Lyle?” he asked.

“Not really,” Becky said. “I saved him a while back. That’s it.”

Xavier raised an eyebrow. “He called you little sister.”

“Oh, that Becky frowned. “Maybe I look like his real sister? He was unconscious when I helped him, so he never actually

Xavier’s expression grew contemplative.

Lyle did have a sister.

A missing one.

He studied Becky’s face closely.

“What?” she asked.

He hesitated, then shook his head. “Nothing.”

He knew Becky’s mother was Evelyn. Father unknown. After Evelyn died, she’d been sent to live with a woman named Jade in the countryside. That was all.

Becky asked, “Are we waiting here for the special forces to come back?”

“Yeah. They have reinforcements on the way. You can rest in the car.”

Not knowing how long it might take, Becky climbed into the vehicle and curled up to sleep. Xavier followed, handed her a blanket, and closed the door.

He didn’t leave. Just leaned against the door quietly, watching over her.

Her nerves slowly settled. Exhaustion caught up.

Soon, Becky drifted off.

When she woke up, she was no longer in

the c

She was in a dimly lit hotel room. Wall sconces cast a soft amber glow. She sat up quickly and looked around.

Wasn’t I in the SUIT How’d I get here?

She opened the door and stepped out.

The suite’s outer room was a spacious sitting area.

Xavier stood by the desk, slightly hunched, phone in one hand, the other in his pocket.

“Yeah,” he was saying. “She’s fine. Not a scratch on her.”

“We’ll head back tomorrow.”

From his tone, she guessed he was talking to either Henry or Lilian.
