Chapter 520: Chasing Shadows
Logan was taken aback. He stepped out of the cockpit and stared at Ella. "What did you just say? My uncle... poisoned my cousin?"
"Yes," Ella replied coldly. "Are you telling me you don’t know a single thing about what your uncle has been doing here? Your uncle is a monstrous fiend. Over a dozen lives have already been lost to his twisted experiments!"
Logan’s expression grew even darker, as though he had just heard the most absurd and unbelievable story.
"Hurry up and fly the plane! Stop wasting time! And don’t even think about trying anything stupid. If the plane crashes, we’re all going down together!"
Ella waved the gun in her hand, forcing Logan to retreat into the cockpit and close the door behind him.
The engines roared to life.
Ella felt her eyes heat up as tears threatened to fall.
Elias leaned closer to her ear. "Mommy, what are you guys talking about? I don’t understand a single word."
Ella kissed her son’s cheek. "Mommy and the uncle were speaking in code."
Elias pouted, sensing that his mother wasn’t telling the truth.
The plane finally began to lift off, rising into the sky. From the window, Ella saw the azure ocean, the endless blue sky, and the golden sun emerging from the horizon. The rosy hues of dawn stretched across the mountain peaks and the sea, painting a picture of boundless vitality and endless hope.
