About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Hei finds herself in a perilous situation, surrounded by bodyguards with lethal intent. As she confronts the fear reminiscent of the traumatic day her childhood ended with her parents' death, she closes her eyes, longing for a peaceful escape. Suddenly, the expected violence is interrupted when a familiar voice calls out to her, revealing her savior, Orson, who arrives just in time to help her. Despite his injuries, Orson reassures her of her safety and expresses his guilt for being late. After Hei's initial panic subsides, she embraces Orson as a heartfelt expression of gratitude, which becomes inadvertently awkward due to their circumstances. They quickly transition into logistics, with Orson explaining his intelligence work that led him to find her and the potential dangers posed by Cronin, the antagonist behind her kidnapping. Orson speculates on Cronin’s motives and the leverage he holds over the city, while they both recognize the necessity of trust and strategic planning to face the unfolding crisis. The chapter culminates in Orson taking control of the situation, preparing to interrogate the unconscious guards for information regarding Cronin's intentions and the fate of Xi Lan and Mr. Herman. The stage is set for a confrontation with high stakes, as Orson’s resolve and Hei’s determination to protect her loved ones empower them to act decisively against their enemy.
