Chapter 405: Retreat

Harvey watched from afar as they took Johanna and they retreated. He even tried many times to get Johanna back but he was told not to. It was an order from the Queen. Now, seeing Leon in the operation room pained him. He thought that Leon was their family and he didn't have anyone but them. But when Violet stepped out and cursed, he realized that Leon had Alicia. 

"He's dead," Violet said. "If he didn't survive on this. Alicia will kill him." 

"Fuck," Harvey reached his head. "How can you say that? He's already there! He looks dead." 

"No, that suit protected him well and also that handsome face. He's lucky." 

"Damn," Harvey exclaimed. "My sister just got kidnapped." 

"Nope… and yes. She was with her brother." 

Harvey's head was throbbing. 

"You should rest. I will take care of the rest since they retreated in just a few hours. Hannah Grace was all that matters." She patted him. "I will stay here in Leon. Oh, you should check on my ex-boyfriend." 

Harvey raised his brows. Violet was joking yet he couldn't catch anything. 

"Ian. I meant him." 

Harvey shook his head and went to another room. There were a lot of agents who were moaning in pain. But they will fix them to live normally again. Although they couldn't get back the lost part that they lost, the Rossie Empire will forever support them. 

He went directly to his room, slouched on the bed, and sighed. He was staring at the ceiling while thinking about Johanna's choice. He jolted up when he realized that he had to call his wife. He quickly reached for his phone and videoed call his wife. His wife answered quickly and she's currently breastfeeding Dione. 

"Hey, beautiful." Then he pouted and admired Dione. "How's the surrogacy going?" He asked. 

"I chose Clare and I can't wait for another baby." She told him. "I exercise slowly, my love. I can't wait to see you." 

"I know." Harvey sighed. "There's a lot of things to do although they retreated. I am sure that they will use Johanna to ruin us all." 

"Do you think that Johanna will let that happen?" MJ asked. 

"No." He shook his head. "Although she missed Victor so much, I know that Johanna will come back to us with Victor. I still can't get over it." He mumbled. "We didn't finish them at all. My family is still in danger." 

"Finish that for a day, come home," MJ said. 

"Babe, I~~" He looked away. "Okay. Right, I will be home." 

"You need to relax. Just let them do the rest." 

"Babe, is it alright if I stay until Leon is stable? He's still in the operating room. We will transfer him there." 

"Yes," She nodded her head. "I am sure that he will be fine after a few days. Why won't you prepare a hot bath for yourself? Then, we can talk." 

"Okay," He removed his shoes, undressed his shirt, and went to the bathroom with his phone. He set it up on the small monitor to see his wife while he's preparing for his bath.

Karmina dozed off in her chair. It's been hours after the Serpent and Charles Empire left. Henry was the one who made commands as he had the people escorted back to their houses. They were surprised that there were no damages and few soldiers focused on the provinces to assist them. He scooped his wife from the chair. It woke her up. 

"Hmm, love I'm heavy." 

"You are not." He grinned. "I can still lift you like this. Trust me." He winked as he carried her while the Butlers opened the door. Then, in their room, the guards opened the door for them. Then, he carefully put his wife on the bed. He kissed her lips as he sat beside her and caressed her hair. "I can make you something. You didn't eat, you didn't drink anything. You are lethargic." 

"I'm fine. Is there anyone injured on the civilians?" 

"No, they are safe." He rubbed her forehead with his thumb. "Our Jo," He said. 

"I know." She sighed. "She had decided for a very long time. It is one way." She held his hands tightly. 

"Keira still doesn't know about it." He said softly and bent down. "I will tell her after all of the busyness." 

"Hmm," She nodded her head. "I will nap for a little while." 

"Do that. I will prepare our meal." He kissed her forehead and then, he closed the curtains after he tucked her in. He went down to the kitchen and took out fresh ingredients. Most of the cooks are busy cooking for all of the staff, guards and sending out food in the streets for all of the people.

He started preparing soup, light foods for his wife. He didn't make dishes as good as his wife but he knew her favorite. 

"Leave, you can all take a break." He told the cooks who have been working nonstop to feed everyone.

Keira suddenly woke up from a bad dream. She sighed and turned sideways to see her husband sleeping peacefully with Quinn. They are adorable and she wondered if they also have babies on their own. She sat up, touched Quinn's small thigh, and slipped off from the bed. She went to the bathroom to do her thing and realized that she had dreamed of Johanna. She wondered how they were, so after she peed, she washed her hands, went out of the bathroom, and reached for her phone. 

She called Harvey but somehow, he's with another call. She tried to call Johanna but she's not answering. They might be busy so she went to bed with her crane. She smiled when Quinn turned over her stomach and lifted her head. 

"Hello," She whispered and kissed Quinn's head. She places a pillow beside Quinn so she won't fall. She went to the table and prepared Quinn's milk. 

"Love," 

She glanced at her husband. 

"I will do that." 

"No. Just watched over Quinn." 

Alessandro picked up Quinn and looked at her adorable face. 

"Why are you awake at this time?" He asked her. "You still look adorable though." He kissed her forehead and hugged her. Quinn cooed and suddenly, she cried. "Hush," he rubbed her back gently. 

"She probably missed her parents," Keira said and shook the baby bottle. "Love checked her diapers." 

He checked it and nodded his head. 

"This needs to be changed."

However, Quinn didn't stop crying even after her diapers were changed. She was still tearing up. Keira tried to feed her but she didn't want to drink it. That's when Kal knocked on the door. It always happened every night. Sandro opened the door as Kal entered with his teddy bear. Sandro picked him up and put him over the bed. He gave Quinn the teddy bear and she was pouting while tears were rolling down her cheeks. 

"Stop cry-cry, Kin-kin." He said and wiped her tears. "Kal is here." 

"That's so sweet Kal," Keira patted his head. 

Quinn grabbed Keira's hand to reach her bottle. Then, Keira smiled and fed her. She started sucking on the bottle and stopped crying a little. Kal yawned and fixed Quinn's mini-bed over the bed. Then, Sandro makes space for him. 

"Do you want to drink milk too?" Sandro asked. 

"Please," Kal said clearly. 

They always have Kal and Quinn's milk on the same table. So, he prepared his milk and gave it to Kal. He started sucking on his baby bottle and waited for Quinn to finish hers. He gave the bottle to Sandro as he also picked Quinn's empty bottle. Keira carefully placed Quinn over her mini-bed as Kal also lay down beside Quinn and patted her thigh. 

"Are you hungry?" Sandro asked Keira. 

"No." 

He helped her to tuck in and kissed her forehead. He stayed awake and checked the house once again through the cameras. He lay down and tucked Quinn and Kal over their blankets. Kal was already sleeping. He sighed and stared at the ceiling while thinking about what happened in the war. Everyone is restless back in Evergarden Paradis. He also noticed that Quinn cries more now than before. Did something happen to Johanna and Connor? The tablet blinked. It only means that someone entered the main entrance. He gently sat up and checked it. 

He then rushed downstairs to greet Connor with that tired face. 

"Bro, you alright?" He asked. 

Connor nodded his head and put down his bag. 

"Do you want coffee or anything else?" He asked. When Connor didn't answer and only sat on the sofa, he rushed to fetch him warm water. 

Once Connor received his warm water, he sipped on it and Sandro sat with him. 

"What happened?" He asked. 

"Hours ago, Johanna was trying to retrieve her brother and had decided to go to them. It was her plan all along. She knew that they would threaten her to kill Victor in front of her with those destructive nanomites. It was also one way to get Victor's DNA so they could test it." 

"I'm sorry," Sandro said.. "But as long as Johanna was with them, they wouldn't make a move until they learned how to control her."
