Chapter 303: Masterful Tactics
"Uncle, you should really rest. Once you’re feeling better, we can chat more," Ella said softly, as Eric gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
Lila glanced at Ella and remarked, "What a good child. I never expected that our Bobby... really is fortunate!"
Bobby, filled with relief, let go of Ella’s hand. "Dean would be happy to know as well."
Lila’s expression darkened at this, "That would be your cousin. We haven’t heard from him in months. We don’t have cell phones, and when we try calling, his phone is always off."
Ella’s heart sank, and she instinctively looked at Eric.
Eric reassured her in a low voice, "Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for someone to find him."
Ella nodded, though she couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling she had about her cousin, someone she had never met.
He was, after all, Uncle’s only son...
"I have to find my cousin quickly. Eric, I’m counting on you!" Ella whispered, still worried that someone from the Carter Group might find out.
Eric nodded, his eyes filled with confidence, which made Ella feel a little more at ease.
After all, it was a family reunion, so it was natural for Ella to feel a bit emotional. She chatted with her aunt for a while, but when she noticed how exhausted Bobby looked, she decided to say her goodbyes.
