Falling For My Mysterious Wife by Cassidy Alfaro novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

“Corey, your parents…” Elaina looked at the sensible child in front of her. She did not know how to tell Corey the news of his parents’ death.

Compared to Elaina’s hesitation, Corey was particularly cool. “I know. My parents went to the sky and became stars. They will always look at me and my younger sister.”

Elaina was stunned and a little surprised. “Become a star?”

“Yes, Jalen told me.” Corey nodded. Corey was five years old and did not understand what death was.

Jalen…

Elaina thought, would he … be so nice?

As Corey and Elaina talked, Jalen walked in. Elaina looked up at Jalen and asked, “Are the search and rescue over?”

“Yes, it’s temporarily over.” Jalen nodded. “Without precise detectors, we can’t find all alive people under the ruins. We can’t do nothing but wait for a rescue.”

After working all day, everyone was tired. They could not dig everywhere blindly. All they could do now was wait.

Elaina was sad. Although she knew what Jalen said was true, she felt sad for the people waiting for rescue under the ruins.

Jalen gave Corey a piece of candy and touched his head. “How about going out and seeing your younger sister?”

“Yes.”

Soon, Corey left, leaving Jalen and Elaina in the tent.

“I understand how you feel as a doctor and want to save everyone, but you have to admit that you are not all-powerful,” Jalen comforted.

Elaina pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Jalen said, “Ernesto always wanted to ask for the help of the Stein family, and Deven seemed to like Alisha very much. So, it was not strange for their marriage.”

Elaina frowned. Elaina thought, if Alisha married into the Stein family, how could I deal with her?

Elaina believed that if Saul and Theodore joined hands, they could deal with the Lory family. But it would be very difficult to deal with the Stein family.

Moreover, Saul and Theodore could not annex big families one after another. They would become public enemies.

“I know you don’t like Alisha, but now that she’s married into the Stein family, it won’t be easy for you to do anything to her.” Jalen reminded Elaina, and then said, “If you want to do something to her, I can help you.”

“You?” Elaina looked at Jalen with a smile. “Alisha plotted against you, and you’re just going to let it go like this?”

“Saul, Theodore, and I have reached an agreement. I will take a share of the Lory family’s business, and I’ll stop the Stein family from helping the Lory family,” Jalen said. If the Lory family was ruined, Alisha would be frustrated.

Elaina said, “Just like that?”
