?Chapter 2193


    Even though Axel barely showed any emotion on his face, Amber knew he was on the verge of breaking down. One word from her-a futile attempt atfort-and his carefully held emotions would explode.


    *Jonah... Jasper...


    The moment Axelid eyes on his family, his body trembled. His strong, unyielding fa?ade crumbled as tears finally broke free.


    ''Don''t cry, Axel.''


    Jonah went up and embraced Axel. He patted his back lightly. "Crying wouldn''t solve any of our problems. The most important thing now is to rescue Lyse."


    "It was all my fault... It was all my fucking fault!" Axel gave himself a hard p. "I was the one who neglected Lyse ...I was the one who lost her. I deserve to die."


    "Axel, it had nothing to do with you." Jasper walked over slowly, his footsteps heavy, eyes bloodshot and sunken." I''m the one to me.


    "I''m Lyse''s partner, and I''ve swom to all of you that I''d protect her... Yet, I''ve messed everything up. I''m sorry."


    He had messed it all up. He''d spoken simr ones before-after Alyssa lost their child-but now, the pain was unbearable, tearing him apart from the inside.


    "Lyse?" Miley cried out when she saw Amber, who looked very much like Alyssa. She ran up to her and held her in a tight embrace.


    ''Miley, this isn''t Lyse. She''s Axel''s girlfriend."


    Jeremy studied Amber''s face in shock. He was also caught in a daze momentarily. Even so, he put his arm over Miley''s shoulders andforted her in a gentle voice, ''We can handle it here. You''re exhausted. Why don''t you go upstairs for a nap?"


    Seeing that Miley was refusing adamantly, Amber spoke up softly. "Miley..."


    Upon hearing that voice, Miley covered her mouth and burst out crying.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "How about if I apanied you to go upstairs and take a rest?" Amber negotiated with her while imitating Alyssa.


    To her surprise, it actually worked.Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    Because of her appearance, Miley, who was in a muddled state, heeded Amber''s suggestion. With Amber holding onto her, they made their way upstairs slowly.


    The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and silent.


    As Axel watched Amber from behind, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart was pained.


    The thing Amber hated the most in her life was being Alyssa''s substitute. This was a humiliation that Jameson had engraved deep within her.


    Yet now, she had no choice but to be Alyssa tofort Miley, who was on the brink of copsing.


    *Axel, we''ve looked into the helicopter that took Lyse away, and found that it flew toward the coastal area in the south."


    Cyrus waited until everyone''s emotions had settled down a little before speaking up in a low voice. "If I were Jameson, I would surely take Lyse away fromnd. I wouldn''t live in the woods either, as it would be difficult to escape, and resources would be limited.


    "That said, even if the helicopter flew toward the south, it doesn''t eliminate the possibility that they''d change


    directions along the way. But whatever it is, it''s still a lead. We can start by looking into all of Kontina''s inds."
