Chapter 749
The car hummed through the dark, empty streets of the city. The aftermath of the undead army's attack was everywhere—burned buildings, abandoned cars, debris scattered across the roads like the bones of a fallen giant. The streetlights flickered, their glow weak and uncertain, as if they too were recovering from the darkness that had consumed the city.Neither man spoke for a long while, each lost in his own thoughts. The weight of what they were about to do pressed down on them like a physical force—heavy, suffocating, inescapable.Philip stared out the window, watching the ruined city pass by in a blur. He thought of Seraphina—her face when she had realized what he had done. The betrayal. The pain. The shattering of something fragile and precious. He had done that. He had caused that pain. And now he was going to face her again.Steven gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. He thought of Chance—his son, his heir, his hope for the future. He thought of Chloe, of the wedding

"I'm talking about you. About me. About Gary. About the entire family." She paused, her voice softening. "We've been so busy blaming ourselves—and each other—that we've forgotten what really matters. We've forgotten that we're stronger together than we are apart."Philip shook his head. "Susan, I don't—""Listen to me," she interrupted, her voice firm. "You've been sitting in this room for days, drowning in guilt over what you did to Seraphina. I understand. I do. But you can't change the past. None of us can. What we can do is move forward. Together."Philip's eyes glistened. "But what I did—""What you did, you did for your family," Susan said. "You did it to save Chance, Christopher, and Wilfreda. You did it to protect the people you love. And yes, it hurt Seraphina. It hurt you. But it also saved lives."She reached out and took his hand, her grip firm."Chance is gone. Or he's lost. We don't know. But what we do know is that the family needs us. All of us. Not just the ones who a

Steven returned to the living room, his face pale, the note clutched in his hand. The family looked up, their grief-stricken faces shifting to alarm at his expression."What happened?" Julia asked, her voice trembling.Steven held up the note. "Seraphina is gone. She killed the guard and escaped."The room erupted into chaos."WHAT?" Flynn was on his feet, his fists clenched. "How could this happen? How could she just—""We should have seen this coming," Priya said, her voice shaking. "She was Doomdoer's ally. We should have known she would—""Where's the guard?" Christopher interrupted, his voice sharp. "Is he—""Dead," Steven said quietly. "His throat was cut."Chloe's hands flew to her mouth. Janelle moved closer to Christopher, her face pale. Ava clutched Grace to her chest, her eyes wide with fear."What does the note say?" Wilfreda asked, her voice steady despite the tension in the room.Steven read it aloud. "I'm sorry. I had to go. But I can help you find them. Trust me."The

Christopher stared at her for a long moment, her words sinking into his heart like stones into still water. Hope. It was such a fragile thing—so easily crushed, so easily lost. And yet, it was the only thing that had kept them going through everything. The only thing that had kept them fighting when the world was falling apart around them."You're right," he said quietly. "Hope is all we've got. And maybe that's enough."Wilfreda nodded, a small, fragile smile on her lips. "Maybe it is."***They returned to the estate just as dawn was breaking over the city. The sky was pale and gray, the clouds still heavy with the memory of darkness. The streets were quiet, the chaos of the night finally subsiding. But the silence was not peaceful—it was the silence of exhaustion, of grief, of a city that had seen too much.The family was waiting for them in the living room. Julia was the first to see them, her face pale, her eyes red from crying. She rushed to the door, her hands reaching for the
Chapter 745
Wilfreda and Christopher raced back to the car, their hearts pounding with fear and hope. The streets were still empty, the city still shrouded in an eerie silence, but they didn't notice. They didn't notice anything except the road ahead, the path that would lead them to the Nexus—and to Chance.That was their only consolation. If Chance had been taken by Doomdoer's undead army, then there was only one possible place they could have taken him.They just hoped to arrive there on time before something bad happened to him. Gerald had been corrupted by Doomdoer and they were not ready to let the same thing happen to Chance.Christopher drove this time, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles went white. Wilfreda sat beside him, her eyes fixed on the darkness ahead, her mind racing with a thousand terrifying possibilities.What if Chance was dead? What if Doomdoer had killed him? What if he was already corrupted like Gerald and was now one of Doomdoer's undead army?
Chapter 744
The three of them drove through the chaotic streets of the city, weaving through abandoned cars and debris. The undead army had moved deeper into the city, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake—burning buildings, shattered windows, bodies lying in the gutters. The streets were empty now, the living having fled or hidden, but the echoes of screams still lingered in the air.Chance gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. Wilfreda sat beside him, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. Christopher sat in the back, his violin case clutched to his chest like a lifeline. No one spoke. There was nothing left to say.After driving for another couple of minutes, they turned a corner and saw them.The undead army stood in the middle of a wide intersection, their black eyes gleaming in the dim streetlights. Dozens of them—maybe more—standing in perfect formation, their bodies still, their faces blank. And at the front, leading them, was Gerald.He stood with his back to them, his posture
