Chapter 320
Caldwell went off to make arrangements while Jon was left mulling over Farrah’s words, feeling a bit
uneasy.
It was hard to imagine how Colton got through these years. Farrah was so infuriating. At 1 in the
morning. Astrid received a message from Jon: “Star; we’ve successfully moved Colton to a safe place.”
A weight lifted from Astrid’s shoulders upon reading the message, and she laid down on her bed.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone buzzed again.
Picking it up, she saw it was a news alert: “CA7843 flight from L city to Sunhaven met with an
accident.”
From L city to Sunhaven? Wasn’t that her flight home?
Astrid clicked on the news and her heart sank.

She quickly dialed Elio’s number, but the phone was switched off.
Eventually, she called Carson Fisher. It was late into the night and Carson was still groggy, “Ms. Irvine,
what’s up?”
Astrid: “Which flight was Elio on to Sunhaven today?”
“Oh, let me check.” Carson yawned, “CA7843.”
Hearing this number, Astrid’s heart clenched, “I just saw the news about an accident with that flight. Are
you sure Elio was on board?” With that, Carson was wide awake.
Accident?
He hung up and saw numerous news alerts, all reporting about the flight incident.
Although the emergency landing was successful, there were casualties and several people were
seriously injured.
Astrid sat in her room, dialing Elio’s number over and over again, her heart pounding like never before.
He couldn’t… he couldn’t have been in an accident, right? He must be fine….
She suddenly heard the doorbell. Who could be ringing the bell at this hour? Astrid got out of bed with
her taser in hand, wearing her coat.
She opened the door to find Elio standing there, covered in snow.
He was fine, and Astrid’s heart finally eased.,

Elio: “I’m sorry, Astrid. There was a heavy snowstorm, and my car broke down on the way. That’s why I
missed the flight and came back. Would you mind if I crash here for the night?”
“Come on in.” Astrid moved aside. Seeing him, her nervousness suddenly faded, “Why was your phone
switched off?”
Whether it was Elio’s delusion–or–not, he saw a look of concern on Astrid’s face.

Elio took off his coat and hung it on a hook “My phone died. What’s up? You needed something?”
“No, it’s fine. You should get some rest.” Astrid went back into her room. Remembering that Carson
might still be worried, she texted him, “Elio is safe and sound.” Carson finally relaxed when he got the
message. Luckily his boss is okay.
The next morning, the first thing Elio saw when he turned on his phone was a call from Carson.
Carsonn said, “Boss, you might not realize it, but Ms. Irvine was really worried about you, I could hear it
in her voice. She sounded like she was about to cry. Did she cry when she saw you?”
“Cry?” Elio frowned, “No.”
“No? How could be!” Carson sounded troubled, “She was worried about you. Boss, I think Ms. Irvine
cares about you a lot. Why else would she call me in the middle of the night asking about you? She
was afraid something happened to you!”
