The room gradually fell into an eerie silence as everything was finally silenced. Noel had already injected Clifford with a tranquillizer while Clive lay whimpering on the floor. For all of Clifford's madness, the man had managed to hit Clive with at least 3 stray bullets.
Slowly Emilia looked up from her crouched position, her eyes desperately searching for Noel. Before she could look around much, however, her face was caught by Lionel who turned her head and looked into her eyes with concern," Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Lionel grabbed Emilia in a hug and held her tightly," I am so sorry for not telling you everything. I almost failed to protect you." Emilia closed her eyes and nodded her head to reassure Lionel but at the same time, she pushed him away a little, trying to look for Noel.
