After Xander reported it, Capital City sent a helicopter to pick up Samuel and Nicole just as Samuel had expected.
Lucas was too young to go with them, so Nicole entrusted him to Phoenix. Nicole texted Phoenix and asked her to bring Lucas back to the Seapolis City. And Nicole asked Zayn to help Phoenix with that.
Even though Zayn was the King of Country F, he had no power to intervene in the affairs of another country. But he promised to help.
Samuel and Nicole were very calm. Considering Nicole's physical condition and Samuel's contribution to the country, the superiors agreed that Samuel and Nicole could be inspected together.
Phoenix had been waiting for news from Nicole and Samuel. She had thought they could bring Davon back, but she got disappointed. Hearing that Nicole and Samuel were to be reviewed in isolation in Capital City, Phoenix couldn't understand it. But by the time she arrived at the center of the Dark Forest, Nicole and Samuel had left. Only Lucas and Xander were there.
Audrey looked at Phoenix. Knowing her identity, Audrey selectively told Phoenix what had happened, including Davon's death.
Phoenix almost fainted.
When she learned that the broken leg was not Davon's, she had hope. Now they told her they couldn't even find Davon's dead body. Phoenix couldn't accept it.
She was in a daze and almost fell over. Then someone held her tightly.
"Aunt Phoenix, hold on. Daddy and Mommy are not here. I'm afraid of being alone."
Lucas said in a soft and broken voice, which made Phoenix's heart ache.
She probably wouldn't have any child. Now that Davon was gone, she didn't have the slightest hope of being a mother. However, a woman was born with maternal instinct. Lucas was so lovable, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to him.
Phoenix hugged Lucas and cried loudly.
Ever since Davon's accident, she had told herself to be strong and to wait for Davon to come back. But now, her hopes had been shattered. All her faith and expectations were gone. She was overwhelmed with sorrow, but she had to be strong for Lucas.
Nicole and Samuel helped her a lot. Although she didn't know why they were brought back to Capital City, she couldn't let Lucas feel helpless in a foreign country.
After Phoenix calmed down, she asked Xander and Audrey in a choked voice, "Couldn't you find Davon's body?"
Xander shook his head, feeling grieved.
Phoenix felt she had to leave Country F. There was only pain and sadness here. She would rather return to Davon's hometown and be with the Dons. At least they were her family.
But she didn't know if she still was their family member or not.
Phoenix carried Lucas in her arms and whispered, "I want to bring Lucas back to the Seapolis City."
"They couldn't find Davon's body, but you can set up a cenotaph for him. Are you sure you won't stay?"
Xander looked at Phoenix and pleaded.
Phoenix had a lump in her throat, "This is not his hometown. He had been forced to grow up in a foreign country since he was young. When he came of age, he returned to his own country, wishing to find his family. But he failed. He had never met his biological father before he died. His life is short. I know he won't stay here. I will set up a cenotaph for him in the ancestral grave of the Don family. I will memorize him there. This is also what Davon wants."
After saying that, Phoenix directly walked out of the Dark Forest with Lucas in her arms.
Everyone said the Dark Forest was terrifying. Strange enough, the mutated animals quietly watched Phoenix leave.
Zayn was waiting for her outside.
There were tears in Zayn's eyes when he saw Phoenix had lost a lot of weight.
"Inez."
"Zayn, I want to go home."
Phoenix burst into tears.
She thought she was strong enough, but Zayn reminded her of Davon.
The fierce pain pierced through her, making her gasp for breath.
Phoenix fainted into Zayn's arms.
"Inez!"
Zayn held Phoenix and Lucas at once.
Lucas whispered, "Uncle Zayn, I can walk on my own. Just look after Aunt Phoenix."
"It's hard for you."
Zayn stroked Lucas' head and put him down. He picked up Phoenix and they returned to the palace instantly.
This news made a stir in Country F.
Zayn summoned a lot of doctors to take care of Phoenix, but Phoenix rejected all of them.
Who wanted to spy on Phoenix?
Zayn was the King of Country F, and Phoenix was not a threat to him. There was no need for him to do this, so who was it?
Lucas had no idea, but there was nothing he could do.
He stood alone outside for a while, and then returned to his room.
Just as everyone was worried about Phoenix, an ordinary family of Country F was having a funeral.
The deceased was the only son of the family. He died unexpectedly only in his twenties. His parents hired instrumental performers for his funeral. The funeral lasted for three days before he was cremated.
Many relatives came, and the family held an open-air banquet in the village. It was very lively.
In the morgue, Morgan was very anxious.
She had planned to come to Davon's aid on Samuel's orders. She prepared the medicine for Davon, but she didn't expect that Davon was barely living.
The blood in his body almost dried up.
Morgan couldn't imagine what he had gone through and why he was reduced to this. But she shouldn't be curious.
She used precious ginseng to save Davon's life and made him drink the medicine to replenish his blood. Davon had lost too much blood. His immunity decreased and he had a fever.
Morgan did all she could, but Davon was not getting better.
She could not go out at this time. Or people might know Davon was still alive. Her mission was to keep it confidential.
She had planned to bring Davon out at the funeral three days later, but Davon was dying. His blood was too special to get a blood transfusion. She didn't know what to do.
Morgan was extremely anxious.
"Mr. Davon, if you can hear me, please hang on. You have a terrible fever and the medicine is not working. I don't know what you've gone through, but Mr. Green told me to save you. I'm a miracle-working doctor, so I have to save you."
Morgan did not know if Davon could hear her. She kept feeding him a load of medicine. Because Davon had a high fever, he could absorb the medicine well, and he did not sweat much. This should be a good thing for him. But his body seemed like a bottomless pit for medicine. He showed no signs of improvement.
What exactly was going on?
There were no scientific instruments here, so she couldn't figure out Davon's condition. She could only tell that he lacked water. Giving him boiled water was not enough. Morgan had no choice but to use all kinds of medicine on him.
