"Raina, don’t worry." Elias Hawthorne opened his arms and embraced Raina North, different from the earlier passionate fervor. This hug was warm and encompassing. His voice was low, gentle, like the spring wind in March: "We will definitely find Bobby, and he will be fine. Once we sort out the matters of The Umbral Zone, we’ll go back and focus on finding Bobby, okay? When he comes back, our family will never be apart." After a long time, Raina finally spoke, her voice low and hoarse, "Okay." Raina didn’t move, just leaned quietly in Elias Hawthorne’s embrace, listening to the heartbeat at her ear, suddenly feeling very reassured. The fatigue she had deliberately ignored surged over her like a tide at this moment. After a long while, Elias Hawthorne called her name softly. However, he received no response. He looked down and finally realized that at some point, Raina had already fallen asleep. She nestled quietly in his arms, peacefully and obediently asleep. Looking at Raina’s well-behaved, peaceful sleeping face, Elias Hawthorne’s eyes became as gentle as water. Elias Hawthorne carefully helped Raina lie down, then got up, preparing to tidy himself up in the bathroom. Earlier, he had been too heavily teased by Raina, and he was quite disheveled. However, before he could pull his arm away, Raina snuggled close like a little animal seeking warmth, her small hand tightly clutching the fabric of his chest.

Ultimately, Elias couldn’t bear to wake her, so he lay beside her. Raina’s small face rubbed lightly against the man’s chest, her body moved a bit, and she fell asleep in a comfortable position. Elias Hawthorne lowered his eyes, watching the girl nestle in his arms, her sleeping face as content as a small animal’s, unable to resist bowing his head to plant a cherished kiss on her forehead. Raina had been utterly exhausted lately, so that even in her sleep, she was tightly strung. Now, finally in a safe place, she slept deeply. When she opened her eyes again, the sun outside was already high in the sky, the brilliant sunlight spilling down through the glass. Raina was startled, scrambling to her feet. She first surveyed her surroundings warily, and then realized where she was. Then, the things she did last night floated up in her mind. Raina couldn’t help but groan, covering her face. Damn it, she shouldn’t have drunk alcohol, otherwise she would never have done such a crazy thing. Last night, she, Raina North, emboldened by a couple of shots of "cat’s pee," brazenly pounced on Elias Hawthorne. Even when he refused, she was still unrelenting, intending to use force... If anyone dared to do this to her, Raina swore she would make them regret ever coming into this world. Thinking about it from the other perspective, she felt Elias Hawthorne surely thought the same. So, Raina quickly gathered her clothes, changed at lightning speed, found her phone, and prepared to leave. Having done something so outrageous, when else would she run if not now? Raina dashed to the door, steps as quick as could be, and just as she pulled the door open, a cold, eerie voice came: "Raina, where are you planning to go?" Upon hearing that voice, Raina felt her scalp tingle. It’s over. This time, she’s really doomed. Raina’s heart sank into utter despair. What could be more infuriating than molesting someone and then planning to run away?
