Chapter 316
Chapter 316 Into the Dragon’s Lair
Kate was ushered by her two older brothers, Hendrick and Linus, to undergo a series of thorough medical examinations, particularly focusing on her head. After a comprehensive set of tests, the results came back clear that there was nothing serious.
With a sigh of exasperation, Kate looked at her brothers. “I said I’m fine, but you just didn’t believe me.”
Hendrick, still nervous, scrutinised the report several times over. Only when he was absolutely certain did he let out a breath of relief.
Linus, on the other hand, had a complicated look in his eyes as he gently ruffled Kate’s hair. He seemed on the verge of saying something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
“Let’s go back first. I need to know the updates about Eric.”
Kate’s mind was flooded with the picture she had just seen; the picture Y had sent. It showed Eric lying unconscious on a hospital bed with tubes attached to him. He seemed in a coma.
The mere thought of Eric’s pale face, and the pain from the injuries he might be enduring, had torn her heart like a knife.
Eric had been taken away and was now somewhere out at sea, heading to Sagrado.
His identity was extraordinary, and to her, he was invaluable. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
As Kate hurried towards Kyle’s hospital room, Hendrick and Linus shared a silent, complicated look but didn’t try to stop her.
Standing together, they watched her retreating figure until she was out of sight. Only then did they speak in hushed tones, “I can’t shake the feeling that her headaches might be tied to that incident….
“She has automatically blocked out those memories as a self–protective mechanism. We still don’t know the full story of what happened back then.
“Yeah… that was the only time we weren’t there to protect her.”
Sharing a heavy sigh, Hendrick and Linus gazed after Kate with hearts full of concern and sorrow.
“Mr. Nine, is Eric really out at the sea? Then, what are we going to do? Should we head to the Sagrado first?”
Kate burst into the room; her voice tight with worry.
Edward’s fingers flew across the keyboard, pausing only when he heard her voice. Turning to face her, he asked. “Are you sure you want to go to Sagrado?”

Chapter 316 Into the Dragon’s Lair
Her heart was full of worries about Eric.
In her past life, Eric had also encountered an accident in Bastilla. She didn’t know the details; all she knew was that he had been away for a long time and returned gravely injured, having barely escaped death.
However, now, she had seen firsthand how severely he was hurt and that he was taken to Sagrado. How could she not be worried?
Since her rebirth, everything had changed. Anna had died, Simon had died, and Lana had died.
These events had been altered because of her return. So, how about Eric?
What if…
No, I can’t let anything happen to him!
Kate inhaled deeply and spoke firmly, “Even if I had to dive into a dragon’s lair, I’ll still go to save
Eric!”
Eric was the man she loved dearly, and he loved her just as much.
They hadn’t even fully realised their future together yet. How could their relationship end like
this?
Her resolve grew stronger, and she decisively laid out her plan. “The underground organisations in Bastilla are just a bunch of rabbi
We can leave some of Kyle’s men here. Miles is severely injured, but he can’t return to Maridonia. I suggest Kyle and Miles head back to Haldoria together.
“Haldoria is our territory no matter what. On our land, those rats hiding in the shadows will have to be more cautious. They wouldn’t dare act recklessly within our borders.
“The underground organisations in the Bastilla need our people to keep them in check. At least until we rescue Eric, we can’t afford any more disruptions here. Conduct a thorough investigation of everyone. Send those who are guilty of major crimes straight to prison.
“Then, the rest of our people will go to Sagrado together.”
Kate’s face was calm and determined as she quickly outlined her carefully thought–out plans.
