<h4>Chapter 513: A Life to Be Left Here</h4>


    Elias obediently followed him. Over the past few days, he had explored nearly the entire ind and hadn’t found anything particrly special.


    However, Isaac led little Elias to a door by the side of a maze, one that Elias hadn’t ventured into yet.


    "Doctor, are you nning to take Elias inside?" Miss Carly stopped Isaac, her eyes filled with concern. "He’s still a child. If you take him in, it might scare him."


    "It won’t. Elias is very brave. He won’t be affected," Isaac said, patting the little guy on the head, smiling.


    Miss Carly could only fall silent.


    In that instant, she felt anxious. The little one was the first child she had genuinely liked. The other children were either crying or throwing tantrums, which was truly bothersome.


    But Elias was different. Although he had moments of unhappiness, he would just quietly sit aside and y his games, showing a remarkable ability to self-soothe.


    This child was a true gem, but now Dr. Scott was taking him into that deadly dark passage!


    Only Carly and a few others knew what was inside.


    Her worry grew as she anxiously stood outside, waiting. Half an hourter, the door creaked open.


    Miss Carly wiped the worry from her face, watching Dr. Scott walk out with the little guy.


    What shocked her was that Elias only looked slightly mncholic, with no sign of fear at all.


    "Carly, there are so many poor children inside... Are they going to die soon?"


    The little one looked up at Isaac again. "Uncle said those kids will go to heaven. Is that true?"


    Miss Carly’s throat tightened, as if something was lodged there, making it hard to speak.


    "Yes, they will go to heaven. They’re sick, and there’s no medicine to cure them, so Uncle is here researching medicine... to save them." Miss Carly wasn’t speaking this lie for the first time, but this time it felt more terrifying than ever.


    Could it be that the doctor wanted the little one to be a test subject?


    "I see. Uncle, you’re really great!"


    Elias widened his eyes and looked at Isaac, who was pleased by the praise. He smiled slightly. "From now on, you’ll be my sessor."


    "Okay!"


    Watching the elderly man and child leave, Miss Carly wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. The cave was full of those terminally ill young geniuses, barely hanging on to life, yet the doctor had taken the little one to see them!


    It was so cruel! Carly thought to herself, her feelings of dislike and hatred for Isaac growing stronger.


    Human emotions were indeedplex. When Elias first arrived, Carly thought he was just like the other children, but after spending just one day with him, she realized this child was not only handsome but also very interesting.


    In the short span of a few days, Carly felt she couldn’t bear the thought of Elias bing a test subject.


    She quietly sat to the side, reflecting on her own past. Not long after graduating from university, she had been assigned to work under Isaac as his assistant.


    Back then, she had been pure and kind, but Dr. Scott feared that his brilliant assistant might leave him. So when he left Country W, he forcibly brought her here.


    Over the years, she had resisted, but was beaten and humiliated by her colleagues, and eventually, Carly had be ustomed to this life.


    She thought she had be numb to it all, but Elias’s arrival had awakened her conscience.


    Those pure,rge eyes, the innocent smile, the tender voice—made her long for her hometown, for her nephew and niece, more than she had ever realized.


    She Wanted to Leave This ce


    Carly thought to herself, clenching her fists tightly, but her eyes were filled with despair.


    This thought had been with her for a long time, but after years of resistance, all she had received was constant insults and beatings.


    What could she do?


    All the poison was in Isaac’s hands; no one else could touch it.


    Carly sat there, staring nkly for a long time. Ever since the "test subjects" had be useless, the research hade to a halt.


    She often came here to space out, sitting for hours at a time.


    At some point, she suddenly heard the rumbling sound of an airne. Carly’s heart raced as if a dead heart had suddenly been brought back to life, full of hope!


    A helicopter broke through the thick clouds, heading straight for the ind.


    At the same time...


    Isaac and the others also heard the sound of the helicopter.


    Isaac furrowed his brows. The supplies here were still adequate; why would a helicoptere? Who could it be, aside from Mason?


    Mason had unconditionally funded Isaac for the past three years. Money was never an issue—Isaac got whatever he needed, no matter the amount.


    Now, Mason hade?


    Isaac tilted his head back, watching the helicopter slowlynd on the helipad under the sunlight...


    Little Elias also widened his eyes. It was his first time seeing a helicoptere here. Could it be that Daddy and Mommy had arrived?


    With this thought, Elias was filled with excitement. He quickly ran ahead, leaving Dr. Scott behind. As he ran a short distance, he tripped and fell, getting sand all over himself. "Mommy, Daddy!"


    The helicopter descended slowly.


    Dr. Scott’s bodyguards immediately surrounded one side of the helicopter, guns pointed at the open door.


    A man and a woman, along with several bodyguards, walked out.


    "It’s Mr. Scott!"


    The bodyguards quickly lowered their weapons. E saw the little figure running toward her and couldn’t help but feel emotional, her eyes reddening.


    "Elias!"


    "Mommy!"


    Tears almost sprang from her eyes. E took a deep breath, immediately remembering her situation. She lowered her voice, and Mason, standing beside her, slowly grew more assertive, but with a gun in her hand, he dared not move.


    "Tell Elias toe over immediately, or I’ll shoot you!" E whispered, her voice firm.


    The bodyguards looked confused, ncing at E when they saw Mason stop.


    The little one wanted to run over, but Isaac ordered one of the bodyguards to hold Elias back.


    "Let go of me! I want to go to Mommy!" Elias shouted angrily, biting the bodyguard’s arm.


    Since the bodyguard was wearing a coat, Elias’ bite had no effect at all.


    "Elias, don’t get upset, calm down!" E shouted loudly, worried that they might hurt Elias.


    Elias stopped and nodded obediently, standing still without resisting.


    "Mason, tell them to bring my son over right now!" E’s face darkened. "Or I won’t hold back anymore!"


    Mason, however,ughed shamelessly. "Go ahead, shoot me. Let’s see if you can escape with Elias. This ce is full of my uncle’s people."


    E wasn’t bold enough to kill him—if she did, she and Elias would be trapped here for good.


    Mason wasn’t stupid; he saw through E’s thoughts and became even more audacious.


    E’s heart pounded. Mason was right; this ce was full of his people and his uncle’s men. Even if she killed him, she might not stand a chance against these bodyguards.


    "I don’t care, bring him here right now!" E gritted her teeth, her silver teeth nearly cracking. Mason smirked, his eyebrows raised in a wicked manner.


    "If you kill me, the bodyguards will kill you immediately. That way, Elias won’t have a mother. And if Eric can’t find him, he’ll stay here for the rest of his life. Hehehe..."


    E’s face darkened to the extreme!
