After confirming that Song Lei had returned to Loraine Shu's mansion and not pursued him anymore, Richard infiltrated Elliot's room to ensure his son's well-being. He realized that Elliot's room's doors and windows had been locked tightly, making Richard barely hold back his anger again.
Elliot must be scared and traumatized at this time, forcing Richard to wait in front of the balcony door to calm himself down. He didn't want Elliot to be afraid of him or scream hysterically, which would rouse the others' attention.
But he also couldn't bear to leave the boy alone without consolation. He didn't want Elliot to have nightmares, and Richard wanted to give his son strength.
If Anxia were here, Richard would surely let his wife comfort and support their son's mental strength. But he knew that Anxia had gone to infiltrate Diego's house at this time, and he knew Anxia wouldn't be back soon and would probably only see Elliot the next morning.
