Elder Milena (2)

[Continuing the flashback from March 21]

Ten minutes later, in an apartment building two blocks away…

"I was worried sick!", Edward exclaimed and pulled Stella into a hug as soon as she entered the apartment. "How did it go?"

"As expected.", Stella responded and leaned into Edward's embrace.

Edward sighed in relief and kissed Stella's forehead. 'As expected' means that Stella managed to find a peaceful solution and to get King to back off from pursuing their daughters.

Since King got a whiff that Sarah's arm is usable, he started mobilizing his troops and increased surveillance on Sarah, JoAnna and Sophia and also on the movements of the army of Chaos.

Of course, Sarah is aware of King's movements, but she does not see him as a threat (yet).

Owen glanced at Stella and Edward who are holding each other in silence and went to the fridge. He returned with an icepack.
